Last Scion Of The Sun

Bow of lord Ram

The night, Azrael and the tribesmen of the Surya invaded the border town of the Cresent Luna empire marked the true begining of the revolution of the Surya tribe.
One after other, they relentlessly continued to invade the lands of the neighbouring mighty empires.
The neighbouring mighty empires too drunk in their strength, didn't even consider Surya tribe as a threat to their existence. Thus, they didn't even put much emphasis on guarding the borders that they shared with the Surya tribe.
It took weeks to reach the news of the invasion to the ears of the king of the Cresent Luna empire due to it's massive size.
Thus by the time, the news of the retaliation of the Surya tribe reached to the ears of the king of Cresent Luna empire, it was already too late for them. For they had already lost most of their southern territory to the Surya tribe.
Unlike the foolish king of the Cresent Luna empire, Azrael was much more wise and calculative. He had planted several spy's inside the capital of the Cresent Luna empire to keep him updated about the things happening inside the capital.
To prevent any kind of hindrances from affecting his mission, he had planned several steps ahead. Even before the beginning of the revolution, he had planned for the invasion.
Thus, by the time the news of the invasion reached the ears of the king of the Cresent Luna empire, Azrael was already prepared for his retaliation.
As foreseen by Azrael, as soon as the news of the invasion reached the king, the king burst out in fury.
How could he not be angry, afterall his kingdom was getting invaded by a small tribe of nomadic people which was even smaller than it's smallest province.
But the king spared no sympathy, for he counterattacked with 50 thousand of it's mightiest soldiers.
Infront of those trained 50 thousand mighty soldiers of the empire of the Cresent Luna, the tribesmen of the Surya tribe amounted to nothing.
Azrael was aware of the fact that if they were to clash with them head on, then their defeat was imminent. Thus despite with only 5 thousand tribesmen, Azrael carefully crafted strategies and fought back.
While the Cresent Luna empire had the numerical advantage, the tribe of the Surya had the geographical advantage.
The day when the 50 thousand soldiers of the Cresent Luna empire marched towards the border town, Azrael withdrew his forces from the border town.
Along with the withdrawal of the troops from the border town, he even took the supplies from the border town and pillaged the farmlands of the border town while setting the crops on fire.
The 50 thousand soldiers sent by the Cresent Luna empire was quick to arrive on the border town. Within three days of their dispatch, they arrived at the border town.
Expecting a fight to take place as soon as they arrived, they marched through the town in methodical formation.
But neither did anybody attacked them nor anybody showed up. The ghostly town was as silent as the graveyard with not even a single soul showing it's appearance.
The unusual silence of the border town confused the Lunian soldier's. They were anticipating for a fight when they were dispatched towards the border town.
But not even the cries of the victims nor the battle horns of the rivals were heard in the border town.
Even so, they still couldn't return empty handed. Afterall they were ordered to subjugat the tribesmen of the Surya tribe. And thus, they marched forward in search of the survivors and in search of the tribesmen of the Surya tribe.
In a shabby farmhouse, they found the residents of the border town.
Almost every single resident of the border town was found in a state of deep slumber, as if they were affected by some kind of drugs.
Surprisingly not even a single resident of the border town were hurt. Seeing the residents unharmed, the soldiers were shocked.
Witnessing the scenes infront of their eyes, their perspective of the tribesmen of the Surya tribe started to falter. But even if their perspective of the Surya tribe did change, they still couldn't refuse the commands of their king.
Thus after awakening the residents of the border town who were in deep slumber, the soldiers allocated about a thousand soldiers in the border town and marched with the rest of them, towards the Surya tribe.
Along the way, they witnessed several pillaged farmlands. Witnessing the pillaged farmlands made them realise that they had no way to restock their rations if they were to run out of their rations.
But the kings order was absolute, they simply couldn't return empty handed. Thus, they continued to chase the trails of the tribesmen of the Surya tribe.
As they approached closer to the territory of Surya tribe, the temperature of the place started to get hotter. The piping hot steams coming out from the geo-fissures coupled with the three active volcanoes tremendously raised the temperature of the surrounding, around the territory of Surya tribe.
Before they could even reach the territory of the Surya tribe, many of their soldiers started to show signs of heat stroke. Water was scarce in the Surya territory.
The land was steep, soil was hot and occasional hot gust of air drained out the soldiers of the empire.
Before they could get to the residencies of the Surya tribe, they had to pass through a path between two huge cliffs.
As they passed through the path between the cliff, the tribesmen of the Surya tribe pushed huge boulders down the cliff, blocking their escape route.
The soldiers of the empire were caught off-guard. Thus before they could even react, huge boulders fell towards them from the cliff.
Taking advantage of their exhaustion and their uneasiness, the tribesmen of the Surya tribe attacked them in a way leaving them no path to escape.
Helpless soldiers of the Cresent Luna empire could do nothing more than hide themselves and pray. As one after the other, their companions got effortlessly crushed by the huge boulders infront of their own eyes, they started to shiver.
While watching their compatriots die one after the other, their hopes of making out alive started to fade and despair engulfed them.
Their body shivering with fear and their face filled with despair, the 49 thousand soldiers who chased after the tribesmen of the Surya empire died without even putting much fight.
And that marked the very first victory of the tribe of Surya and the founding of a new empire.
With mere 5 thousand soldiers Azrael was able to lead his tribesmen to victory against the mighty soldiers which outnumbered them by tenfold.
But even this ethereal feat of Azrael was forgotten by the history.
Azrael continued to lead his tribe to victory one after the other without stopping. Never in his lifetime did he lose a battle.
After amassing vast amount of lands and expanding his tiny tribe, Azrael founded the empire of the Surya with his own hands.
With him being the first king and the people who supported him being his loyal retainers, Azrael founded the empire of Surya.
But wits and strategies alone wouldn't always lead him to victory. And his victories would definitely wouldn't be possible without the help of his magical artifact.
The magical artifact which he found within the volcanoes. The very first magical artifact discovered by the humanity was a mythical-tier artifact.
The bow of lord Ram also known as 'Shiva dhanush' was the very first artifact discovered by the mankind.
As the name suggested, it was a bow with power unimaginable to mankind. It tore down the mountains like papers and drilled a hole inside the mightiest of the mountain.
It's arrows, neverending. It's handle made up of an unknown material was simply impossible to comprehend. It's strings, no matter how hard one pulled never broke.
Sounds of thunder accompanied it's shot and flames gusted out of the tip of it's arrow head, the artifact was heavenly.
Upon releasing the arrow from the bow, sounds of thunder would fill up the entire sky and before anyone could even take notice of the flying arrow, they would get incinerated by the flames coming out of it's arrowhead.
Due to the thundering sounds and the flames coming out of the arrow, Azrael got the nickname Thunderfire.
He liked the nickname so much that, he used it as his surname. Thus after that every people began to refer him as Azrael Thunderfire.
The empire of Surya under his tutelage experienced a golden age. Nobody in the empire had to die because of starvation.
Finally after years of oppression, they were free. The lands which they conquered from the neighbouring empires were used as lands for farming. Finally after attaining cultivable land, the problem of food shortage was sorted out.
Surya empire prospered even more when they took control over the magic stone mines from the Cresent Luna empire. But around that time not many people were aware of the use of magic stones. Unaware of the uses of the magic stones, they were used as a jewel by the Lunian empire.
