In the distance the thumping of drums can be heard, as a small group of people gather around a fire.
A old man comes walking out of the shadows towards the small group of men, women, and children as he comes into the light of the fire the drummers silence.

"Master you should not be here it is to far from the palace it is dangerous for you to be here-"
"Silence grim you are neither my mother nor my wife." Grim obediently​ silenced and sat back down. The old master clears his throat and says "Gather around young and old come listen to my soul I tale a tell of old..." All the men, and women sat around the fire as the children gathered near the old master, the old master sat down and continued

"Those who have fallen in battle and those who live to tell the tale...A man of great speed and strength lead one side and a man of the same virtue lead the other side...These men were once brothers in arms but soon one ascended above the other and created jealousy and hate in the other man. So the two created their own armies and waged war upon each other...Many have fallen many were slain but one child raised to end it all. That child was born in war and combat. From the moment he was born he was trained to kill.....But that child was not just a stone cold killer he had a heart that was not cold like everyone else he knew how to show someone mercy...One thing that nobody else would show."

"Grandpa why was he the only one who knew that?" The old master chuckled "because Aries everyone else did not want to listen to there hearts, now be quiet and listen." "But grandpa-" the old master raises his hand to stop little Aries from talking

"That boy grew into a man many women wanted him and many men wanted​ to be him or to kill him. He raised to be the right hand man of one of the leaders of the war...But when it came for the man to kill and young boy only 10 years of age. The man wouldn't do it so he threw his sword into the ground and yelled for everyone to stop...And everyone did for they all feared him."

"So when the man saw that everyone stopped he told them that 'we must stop this slaughtering​ of generations. This boy in front of me hasn't​ even become a man yet but still we put a blade in our children's and youths hands and expect them to fight. This all ends now'...Now when the man said this everyone dropped there weapons and started helping each other this caught the attention of the leaders of the two armies and they came forth to see what is going on..."

"So the two finally saw each other for the first time in twenty plus years for the last time they saw each other they were only sixteen.
For when they saw who and what stopped the fighting they were shocked...They drew their swords on the man for the first time in a long time the two agreed who there current​ enemy is and that is the man standing in front of them cause they realized that if this man is able to stop all these people then he is able to lead them all...When the soldier around the three saw what was happening they picked up there Weapons and stood behind the man. The man said "you would raise your swords my lords at the man who has finally brought peace to this eons long war? Or do you wish to kill me so that you can continue this blood shed! So the man picked up his sword and took a stance and said "accept your challenge lords if I lose I will be forever banished from both lands, but if I win you two will."
The children gasp. "Why would they turn on him?" A young boy asks, the old master ignores his question and continue

"So the man took his stance and so did the Lord's the soldiers formed a huge circle around the three...There was a long and silent pause with the wind blowing ever so slightly...The man put his sword back on his sheath and took on a different stance this surprised the people and the Lord's for he put his sword back in his sheath but kept his hand firmly on the handle while he widened​ his legs almost crouching low...The two lords look at each other and nod."
"As quick as lighting​ strikes they were on the man in a matter of seconds but before their swords made contact​ with the man's shoulders the man quicker​ then the Lord's drew out his sword and broke the two lords blades...With that one move the man won and the Lord's we're exiled and finally there was peace in the land once again...This is the story of the man we know as Jaxx...This was his story and his legacy."
