As the hero marched through the portal,he was greeted by an arena.The room was filled with light,had a large round shape,and 4 statues of armored knights pointing their spears at the furthest point of the arena.As the hero walked forward,with his sword and shield firmly gripped in his hands,he noticed a figure approaching.That figure soon turned out to be Aspis,the one man Vanguard of the South,and the first wielder of power.True to his title,Aspis was a towering.heavily armored,greatsword and shield equipped warrior,with his armor emiting a white shining,referring to his status as a champion of light.Looking at the little man in front of him,Aspis readies his weapons and assumes his battle stance.The battle begins.
The combatants charge at each other,each hoping to land the first strike.Aspis performs a downwards slash with his mighty greatsword,shattering the floor it hit,but missing his opponent,who takes advantage of the opening and attempts a strike at the feet of his gargantuan enemy.In an amazing show of speed,Aspis blocks the attack with his shield,then proceeds to bash the hero with it,pushing him back several meters and lightly injuring his right hand.The hero rises,and swiftly dodges another blow by the greatsword,managing to slice the right leg of his colossal foe.The giant produces a muffled grunt,then begins using both shield and sword in an attempt to smash his opponent,but to no avail.The hero,who dodges every move he can,while trying to block any blockable ones using his shield,managing some minor slashes on the sword wielding hand of Aspis.This continues for a while,with a high number of successful strikes by the hero,and a few but devastating counterattacks by the armored giant.
The battle nears it's end.One the one side,Aspis,who has his right arm and leg nearing breaking point, thanks to the multiple hits of his enemy's sword,and on the other side,our hero,who has been beaten up badly,and had his sword break due to his opponents impregnable shield,but with his shield intact.Both lock their stare,thinking that it's now or never.They both charge at each other,the earth shaking from the momentum of the charge,and a giant shield ramming the floor.The charge is unsuccessful,causing Aspis to trip and fall to the ground.The hero manages to just avoid it,and runs to the head of the collapsed giant,sinking his broken but still sharp sword into his exposed throat,ending the life of Aspis.The Vanguard was no more.
As the hero regained his strength,something bright flew of from the body of Aspis into the hands of the hero,manifesting itself into a fine silver sword,which would become his closest friend during the upcoming battles.The hero exits the portal,and proceeds to the next portal,leaving the lifeless corpse of Aspis behind,and bracing himself for his next foe.
