Chapter 9: The Alliance pact

Ever wondered why the three 'Kings' were untouchable, under the protection of the pact? The three countries of the southern province, the lands of Seiho, Senshinkan and Shinkyo. It was recorded in historical books of the incident that made humans form an alliance. An incident that had almost wiped out the existence of humans several hundred years ago. Yes, and it was tomorrow, happens to be the anniversary of the day the alliance pact was formed. This was the tale humans who had lived through the ancient times.

It was about four hundred ago, human know no lands, no resources, and no capital. Humans had lived in peace, were ignorant of many things, obeying the sacred teachings of the Gods and traditions. Teiko had stood strong and controlled the vast lands of mother nature, were vanguards towards survival and development. Teiko were worshipped and respected. On the day of the new moon, spiritual mediums and priests, sacred messengers of Gods received a warning. The Lord of Earth had descended from the heavens. The Lord had gifted human knowledge and power, in hopes and wisdom, believing humans can struggle and yearn with a pure heart like the way humans are.

But the Lord was mistaken.

Humans began to seek conflict. Lands were divided, humans ruling over each other. Humans had become too powerful. The discovery of metal weapons had changed the flow of conflicts. They bare their claws against the Lord of Earth. The Lord of Earth had lost hope, had died from depression. Only his remains were left, before long, his existence was forgotten. The spiritual realm had wept and mourned for their brother's loss. Consumed by desire and greed, humans had forgotten the sacred teaching of the heavens. Only the elders had displayed respect towards the Gods of heavens, the guidance of fate and destiny. Conflicts had brewed in cycles, age and periods. Again and again, humans rise to conflicts, without hesitation and compassion. A cold-blooded killer.

The loss of the Lord of the Earth had angered the master of Teiko. Humans were forbidden from entering the lands of Teiko, defying the sacred teachings result in deadly consequences. Once there was a man who defied the teachings of God. He stepped foot into the lands, and was branded as an outcast. He forsaken the teachings of his elders, and seek power for his self-interests. He was cursed to walk the earth of immortality. A mind of a human trapped in a body of monster. The man was given the task to protect the balance of the spiritual realm and humanity. With nowhere left to go, he capitulated his will to the master of Teiko.

That man was the man who would become the first master of the Kuroko clan, Kuroko Tetsujin.

That is the beginning of the long history of the Kuroko clan. He ended the warring lands of Kirisaki Daiichi, Josei and the southern districts of Senshinkan, Shinkyo and Seiho. The legendary feats of the man Kuroko Tetsujin would be the origins of rumours, curses, myths and legends. The lands, their resources exhausted had agreed to peace, the southern district would never war against the lands of their weaker counterparts. Seiho, Senshinkan and Shinkyo had signed and became part of an alliance pact, vowing to protect the promise under the sky of heavens.

In time, when the war was finally over, Kuroko Tetsujin's duty was finally over. As if his sins were repented, he rescued a princess of the spirit Kyoka Suigetsu, which would one day become his wife and continue the cursed bloodline of the Kuroko clan. Their journey together to the lands of Teiko had created a pathway of affection and compassion. The princess would become the first wife of the Kuroko clan. The master of Teiko relieved Tetsujin of his duty, bestowing him words of wisdom.

"Preach the way of the pure, abandon the evil of the devil. There will come one day you will come back to me, survivor of the Kuroko clan."

The master's parting words had left the man baffled and nonplussed. Kuroko Tetsujin and the princess returned to the human lands, settled themselves at the border of Kirisaki Daiichi and Teiko. He helped and took in outcasts, eventually became his disciples. Kuroko Tetsujin developed the mastery over spirituality energy, which he discovered humans who possessed strong spiritual powers since birth have the powers to fight against spirits. He preached on importance love and compassion will be the key to unlock powers to levels beyond.
