Chapter 1: The Beginning Of The End

Everything was normal in the village of Flallen. Birds were chirping, sun was shining., it was all perfect but as you know something unexpected will happen.. That will be the beginning of the end.

A little 9 year old boy by the name of Arron was traveling in the woods with his master, who wore a white trenchcoat, of whom he is living with because of the tragedy that left him behind after his family has died. Arron though of his master like a father but what happened afterwards was even more tragic... "I'm ready for training, Master Nylic!", Arron shouted with vigor. "Okay Arron. but first, let's see what you have learned.", said Master Nylic as he started moving towards the three trees if which were different sizes. Skinny, average, and thick. "You know what to do..." Master Nylic says. "Osu!" Arron replied while pulling out his red axe of which had a symbol on it. He swung it up in the air and focused his muscles then swings it around and cuts the skinny tree right through the middle. "Excellent. Now the next one." Master Nylic said. "Osu!" Arron shouted then he focused his muscles and the symbol started to glow and the blade on the axe grew a little bigger and he yelled and swung it around and cut through the average sized tree, right through the middle with tiny strain. "Very good. You have been training." Master Nylic said as he patted him on the head. "Okay next one. Which is the hardest one.". "Osu!!" Arron said. He broadened his shoulders and focused his muscles more and brought the axe back and then the symbol started glowing again and the axe blade grew even larger, almost larger than Arron himself. So he let out a mighty yell and swung but he couldn't handle all the power and weight and failed to cut through the last tree, also resulting in blasting him back but Master Nylic stood behind him and caught him. "I-I-I'm sorry.... I failed again Master Nylic." Arron said with a down face. "You didn't fail me. One can never get it on the first few tries but with a little bit more practice, you'll perfect it in no time." Master Nylic said with a smile. "But Master! I have to perfect this quick so I can find those fiends who killed my family!" young Arron yelled. Master Nylic put his hand on his shoulder and looked at him. "Revenge is a horrible thing to come up upon, but I know you will find a way to defeat them.". Arron smiled and went back with Master Nylic for some rest because it was late at night. That night, while in bed, Arron heard big clangs and noise and got up and snuck down the hallway and saw Master Nylic fighting off two swordsmen. Arron yelled and came in and jumped on one of the swordsman's back and hitting on him. "ARRON! GET AWAY FROM HERE! IT'S NOT SAFE, DAMN IT!". Master Nylic roared, fighting off the other swordsman. "Get the hell off me kid!" The swordsman threw him off into a case of dishes, shattering everywhere, and laid there. Master Nylic flipped over and grabbed his blade and sliced the swordsman in the chest then kicked him into a wall and ran at the other one and threw the knife into his head, killing him. It was quiet for a while as Master Nylic went to check on Arron. "Are you okay, Arron?". "Yeah I think so..." Arron said while picking the glass out of him. Then Master Nylic smiled then all of a sudden a large sword thrusted through his chest......... And in shock, Arron screamed his name as Master Nylic fell over and hit the ground, dead. Arron was wide eyed, looking at him dead and looked up at the swordsman who was leaving and also said "I'll spare your life for today, kid!". When he left, Arron bent over crying over him and screamed his name as he then knew... His master was dead... And that was the beginning of the end.....
