Bone And Flame

Chapter 1, The Old Ages

In the first age of the realm, there was no holy legends that starts off with a creation of a religion, they're was no godly help to humanity, there was only darkness

For thousands of years, the great Litch King Nagrath, conquered the world

He was molded by the bones left behind by the corpse of the annihilation god, and blistered by the infernal flames. His body was decorated by mithril plates, and in his hand he wielded the sword of calamity

His great undead army, scattered across the world, destroyed everything in their sight

The dark power he weilds was like no other, War, Death, Pestilence, and Despair is what he left every corner he leaps into

The gods fear him, the shadows fear him, but death adores him

His hunger and famine of chaos never ceased, with the perpetual torment he left other with, he held the world in the palm of his hands, all while wearing the crown of darkness

Humans, Beastkins, Elfes, Dwarves, and even Demons couldn't stand against his barbarous cruelty, the crack and path of pain he walked through was never even been imagiened by the most wicked minds

Until the day of what they named, "The Return Of The Long Lost Light"

Heroes of all races band together to destroy the Lich King and his army

The Human Knight, Thomas

The Dragon Knight, Gaelont

The Elf Knight, Noelle

The Dwarven Knight, Scutum

but even after all their effort, still, the only one left standing was him

Scutum : "He's too strong!, We can't defeat him!" Scutum exclaimed loudly

Noelle : "We can't give up now!, We're to close to- aghh!" Noelle said before a single punch from the Lich King was sent flying to her stomach

Thomas : "Lady Noelle!, You bastard!" Thomas screamed in rage

Nagrath : "Fool, i took down a god with my bare hands, you can't defeat me mortal, the only thing that can defeat me, is myself" as he said that, it felt like light wasn't shining on them, his bare presence felt like darkness was carving itself into their skin

There was no hope to win this fight, but to fight like him

Thomas : "You're right, we can't defeat you"
Sir Thomas said while bleeding, as the golden magic sphere and aura around him turned green

Gaelont : "Thomas you ignorant bastard!, What do you think you're doing!?" Gaelont shrieked

Nagrath : "You moronic human, what makes you think you can defeat me with my own power?, You make my laugh"

Thomas : "As you said, the only thing that can kill you, is you, and this isn't your power, Its mine" Thomas said as the green sphere mixed with his golden light, and he launches the magic spell to the tyrant himself

To Nagrath's surprise, it damaged him, for the first time in millenniums, he felt something that only a mortal would, pain

Nagrath : "This, no, it can't be"
He was frozen, the feeling he never felt, left him in shock

Seeing this the Knights followed what Thomas did

Green sphere mixed with many types of magic, got launched into him

Slowly, his armor broke as countless of mixes between his magic and those mortals

Nagrath : "Enough" he coldly stated

And then a sinful, unholy, foul being awakened from inside of his body, he turned himself into the bone dragon

Scutum : "Oh god....." Scutum gasped

Gaelont : "I'm afraid god isn't with us brother, not this time" Gaelont said

The bone dragon, the embodiment of chaos, the incarnation of annihilation, the form of the Litch King that he used to kill gods

Noelle : "Thomas, there is only one way to finish this" Noelle said

Thomas looked at his comrades, they all nodded, and they all dropped their weapons down on to the ground

Thomas : "Do it Noelle" Thomas said

They all joined hands, creating a magic circle that was pure white

Nagrath : "The Knights of the long lost light, i will remember your names" Nagrath said as green flames covered all of his mouth, and magical circles, many of them appeared in front of his jaw

After a few seconds, the four Knights sent a powerful blast of light to the Litch King, Nagrath sent a wave of green concentrated ray of light as well to counter it

The two magic blast was thrusting into eachother

Nagrath : "This, impossible" he said, tasting defeat for the first time

Thomas : "As long as there light that shines brightly, no darkness shall win"

Nagrath : "You win this time knights, but i will return, i always will, and there shall be nothing but carnage"

Thomas : "There will be someone to stop you, there always will be"

And with that, the energy and mana those blasts produced, was too much, and then it exploaded like a star

Destroying the bone castle, the earth around it, the heroes, and annihilating the Lich King, the dark lord himself

With his death the great undead army was greatly weakened because they lost their connection to the hivemind

It was the first great victory where all of the race unite together and won after thousands of years

Although it took life of millions, and souls of hundreds of heroes to achieve this

The sun shines brightly, a new dawn of an age was born, there was light once more, and after a thousand years the world was finnaly back on its knees, standing together once more

It didn't take long for houses and farms to be built, kingdom walls was constructed, flags were hanged on poles, kingdoms was forged

Academies and schools were built, training people with magic talents to fight, mixing the Lich King's power who will soon be known as Necromancy or Dark Magic

All to defend the world that has reached freedom, but freedom is false, and peace is already dead, wars of humans, against demons, Elfes against Dwarves and many more

There is even a cult for people who worshiped the Lich King, and cause chaos, they believe that he is lurking deep in the shadows, and that he would return in time, even made a prophecy about someone who will awaken him

None believed them, until he came
