Journey of blood and snow : a world of darkness story

Part 1 : The Order

( pov narrator)

Years before the rise of the undead and the first undead war there was one group who held great power over the overworld in its whole. The order of assassins.

They had eyes in every part of the overworld and controlled nearly all major kingdoms in one way or another, wether it was a advisors to kings and queens or generals in armys they held power in all ranks of life. For centuries the order had been planting seeds to one day rule the world. Those who would stand against them were 'taken out' of the picture.

One day one of their members who believed they were meant to be a force for good called for the plan to be rejected and use their power for peace. The others didnt see his way and so he was exiled from the order but he wasnt done.

He retreated to his home town in the frost bourne and started calling for support to end the order of assassins evil power, but before he could gain any support the order found him first.

Once they found him they attacked the town and began to burn it to the ground , they killed any who they saw including the rebels family home. It wasnt long till he himself was found trying to save the people when he was then killed.

After the killing was done the leader of the assassins known as the unseen killer , ghaul watched the town burn with no mercy for the people who were living there and who were only killed a few minutes.

Ghaul " did he really think he had power over us ? We are power , we control everything, the eyes of the order are everywhere" he turned to see his army of assassins all dressed in black ninja like clothing with only the area around their eyes visible. " my followers let this be an example to all who discovered us and wish to stop us. Long live the order" his then bowed before him.

" LONG LIVE THE ORDER" they shouted.

As ghaul turned back to the burning town one of his commanders walked up to him " report " he ordered him.

" their is some of the town we had seen escaping , we chased them back and they are now hiding" ghaul thought to himself for a moment.

Ghaul " well i think its time i get my own pound of flesh today , the rest of you return home" they all nodded and began to sneak away." Now lets see whos left in this soon to be erased town."

Ghaul made his way through the burning town himself killing anyone he saw with nothing but efficiency, the title he was given by his assassins was the elder assassin being one of the oldest in the order but due to ancient unknown magic he has lived much longer then a normal human should, this also gave him unnaturally fast reaction time and senses.

As he past by another burning building he heard a women screaming and a baby crying , he broken down the down to see the women had a large burning bit of timber land on her as her baby was stuck on the floor as flames crawled towards the child.

She looked up and ghaul who had no intention of helping her " tell me miss , should i help you " he pulled a sword from his back " im waiting"

The women kept screaming just trying to reach her child.

Ghaul " hmm " he then effortlessly grabbed her by the head and then stabbed her , she died not long after.

Ghaul pulled the blade out from the women and then walked over to the child, he picked it up and looked at it. The child was a boy with what looked like light blue hair and blue eyes " hmm i can feel potential in you , its better to train them young" he put his sword back on his back as he began to walk out of the building as it fully collapsed.

Ghaul as he left the town looked down at the still crying boy " hmm i wonder what i will call you , i cant ask your mother for one can i ...hmm ive always had a name i wanted for a son hmmm what was it ...."it then suddenly came back to him " ah I remember, ill call you zane. Perfect name for what ill make you , a strong leader of the assassins.

Ghaul would then bring zane to be trained under his watch to become a member of the order of assassins, he planned to use the child he would now call his 'son' to continue the task of the order if ghaul is ever to fall in battle or his magic ever fail him.

After some time ghaul returned to the orders base of operations in an fortress built into and under a mountain in a snowy environment. Their was a large stair case that lead to a cave in the side of the mountain.

Ghaul walked up the stairs and once he reached the top torches began to light as he walked down the cave. Once he reached the end a large door hidden in the rocks opened.

He then looked down at zane who had stopped crying " welcome to your new home zane , like it or not you will learn to be what your greatest self here" he walked in and the doors closed behind him.

This act of taking zane would begin a zanes life as an assassin , but how did he go from here to working with the frost bourne against so many threats years into the future ? Thats what we will find out on this journey of blood and snow.
