It was dark and almost completely silent in a thick forest. The dry leaves rustled as the wind swept back and forth.
The footsteps of a masked stranger caused the ground to shake with violently rumbling sounds.
The stranger's appearance was smoothly concealed, as he was dressed in black like a ninja.
With both hands facing the quaking ground, he began to chant a spell;
"Arklash irvum sri"
The rumbling noises grew louder alongside the violent earthquake, until the ground cracked open.
A long sharp sword ascended from underneath the ground. It was almost completely covered by a visible mass of dark energy which seemed to disappear soon after the ground's cracks sealed close.
The loud rumbling noises suddenly ceased, and the forest became silent.
With nothing but an outstretched hand, the sword flew right into the stranger's hand.
He let out a silent gasp as he felt a rush of the sword's dark energy surge through his whole body.
"The legends are true...the sword really possesses great power."
He smirked.
He held the sword up while closely examining it. His eyes scanned the sharp silver blade as he ran his fingers through it.
"I'll use it to my advantage...to kill every human for what they did to my family."
A few years ago:
"Father! Mother...No!!!"
It was a dark night, and the atmosphere was filled with the mixed noises of loud wails and screams of excitement.
The darkness was swallowed by the intensely bright burning fire, while a crowd of people gathered round the fire.
A family of werewolves were being burnt alive by the same persons who stood to watch the burning fire.
Someone from amongst the crowd yelled:
"Yes! We did the right thing to get rid of them!"
"Who knew if they were planning to eat us like meat during a full moon or something?", another said.
"It's better they burn...and we'll kill any remaining one of them first before they kill us!"
A young girl who belonged to the family stood behind the crowd with teary eyes.
Sorrow and rage flooded her heart, as hot tears rolled down her eyes. She also witnessed her whole family as they got burnt alive
Her screams were neglected, until someone finally figured out that she was a part of the family.
"She's one of them!...their daughter is here!", yelled the man.
Without wasting any second, she took to her heels, tearing her way through the grasses in a forest which surrounded the remains of what used to be her home.
"Get her!!!"
A dozen of able bodied men zoomed into the forest in search of her. They spread into various parts of the forest, hoping to catch her soon.
She stopped running for a while, and scanned the whole forest with her sharp eyesight in search of a hiding place.
They almost got close to her, but she was smart enough to swiftly climb onto a tall tree using her sharp claws.
She remained silent while observing them from upon the tree. They all ran past her, and with a thud, she landed on her feet.
She exhaled deeply in relief.
