The Child (Heroes Trilogy)

Prologue

The realm of Kushon was separated into two completely different groups.

The good people of the Eastern part of Kushon, Nimico. Rolling green hills were everywhere in sight the trees grew taller than the horizons.

The people knew that beyond the luscious greens was the burned soil and ruined land of the Western region of Kushon, Entrar.

The dark forces and evil people of Entrar destroyed all of the growing flora in the whole region. The titans and bounty hunters lived in this forsaken land.

Everything was totally black. The soil. The sky. Even the animals that were able to survive in the toxic area had blackened fur.

The evil masters of Kyjo had flattened all of the hills that used to surround the area, just like in Kushon, but now it was flat and desolate. The few buildings that still stood were the homes of vandals and also the home of many murders.

Nimico was where the students of Skyview learned the ways of Kyjo, the magic of the realm. The students were able to choose their first companions that would help guide them through the minimal dangers of Kushon.

But this school would not prepare them for the real problems outside of Nimico.

The elves built their homes in the lower valley of Nimico. In the center of everything but down in the underbrush of the forest. They would use the brush as cover to hide and ambush the armies of Entrar when the Eastern region was threatened and attacked.

This rarely happened though.

It was happening now for the first time in generations. The leader of the new armies of the West was a titan that had learned the evil ways of Kyjo from the best master of the magic, Stryker as he passed away.

This new leader was named Lynx.

Lynx is described by the closest to him as gruesome and disgusting. His face is wrinkled and peeling off due to mishaps in his learning. Being a titan he is naturally tall and can strike fear in the hearts of his opponents with just a look from his black soulless eyes.

He was trained in the killing art of the Titans while gaining the ways of Kyjo. Lynx ruled under the most strict circumstances.

Even if it were the best fighter in his army, if Lynx did not agree with what was happening he would kill.

The leader of the East armies of Nimico was Nasir the elf. Nasir had flaming orange hair that changed color depending on how he felt. His face was small and Nasir had an abnormally large forehead. His hair rested on his shoulders with only his pointed ears poking through.

"Alright fellas. Lynx is attacking once more and this time I do not think that we will be able to stop him." Nasir said addressing his troops. "The West army has invaded into the forest and we cannot do anything to stop them at this point."

Nasir sighed and continued, as his army looked on with the last shred of hope fading away, "We have one more chance to defeat this menace though. All of Lynxs' forces have focused on attacking the front lines and the trees in the forest, killing many unarmed civilians."

A tall hooded figure stood in the back of the crowded board room and shouted, "I say that we go in to the forest and just start killing them all!"

The room exploded into an uproar of agreement with battle cries being shouted repeatedly throughout the room.

Nasir banged his fist on the table to try to settle the commotion but it did not work. He became frustrated and his hair literally caught on fire at the bottom, singing the lower hairs but not moving past that point.
