Decension of Kings

The Decension of Blood

Hollowridge

Twas' right in the heart of Puriskyat where it all begun. Kings have held wedding ceremonies in these holiest of lands. The Sickleflair Kingdom have defended the peak known as Hollowridge for hundreds of years. It is here that all life has been believed to have started. It is here that many warriors' tales have begun.

It is here that Phoenix Xsin sliced Dravin Gastropo's neck wide open allowing his blood to spill out onto the holy prayer site right in front of his mass of followers on this day, 11/28/793

"The words this man taught to all of you are blasphemy! You want to meet your god? You're looking at him now. Bow before me or suffer the same fate as your coward of a leader," shouts Phoenix before dropping Dravin's lifeless body onto the ground.

The crowd of Shalonkian Movement activists slowly begin to kneel to their new overlord, Phoenix Xsin. One man stays standing. Phoenix grows furious at the site of this one's negligence and interrogates.

"Ohhh so one of you must want the same fate as Dravin. Very well! To whom do I owe the pleasure of purging today?"

The loan warrior begins walking towards Phoenix, climbing the stairs and states his name, "I'm Kanisto Wonderstep, of the Slikkit Warriors."

Everybody in the crowd seems to have let out a gasp of air.

After a slight chuckle Phoenix says, "Wonderstep? I've heard stories of you. People claim you can move faster than lightning. Many rumor you to be a god of the battlefield. Imagine how powerful I must be to slay two 'gods' in one sitting."

"Ready your weapon Phoenix. It's time to put an end to all of your lies."

Kanisto lunges at Phoenix with his spear only to be side stepped. Phoenix follows up with a sharp kick to Kanisto's knee forcing him to take a step back.

"I'm sure that will make you wonder about your step," says Phoenix mockingly to his opponent.

"That was strange," thinks Kanisto, "he's much faster than he appears."

Kanisto decides to make another attack despite the pain rushing through his knee. With a side swipe, he managed to create enough space from Phoenix to lunge in for another thrust of his spear. Phoenix side steps once more but his abdomen is grazed by the tip of the spear.

Phoenix immediately delivers a crushing elbow to the side of Kanisto's head. This staggers Kanisto just long enough for Phoenix to deliver a sickening nunchuck strike to the back of Kanisto's injured knee.
Kanisto struggles to stay on his feet but manages to roll out of harms way before Phoenix was able to meet him with another smack of the nunchuck.

"Ungh!" Exclaims Kanisto, "this is far from over Phoenix!"

Phoenix smirks as his abdomen begins to throb. "This will be your last battle Wonderstep."

Kanisto lunges at an angle past Phoenix to get behind him causing him to miss with another elbow. Kanisto then throws his spear at Phoenix with all of his might.
Phoenix quickly leaps and in an attempt to grab the spear midair, it penetrates through his left hand and is lodged into the nunchucks in his right.

There is a pause in the battle for a moment before Phoenix grins and pulls his hand through the spear.

"Well it seems I've got myself a weapon upgrade mid battle," says Phoenix as he grabs the spear by the handle and circles the nunchucks with it to gain momentum.

Kanisto readies his shortsword and attempts to make a dash towards Phoenix. However, his knee gives out and sends him crashing to the ground. He's able to raise himself to a knee before Phoenix cracks him in the wrist with his nunchuck spear disarming his shortword. Pain erupts through Kanisto's forearm as his wrist is likely shattered from the blow. Another strike quickly follows landing a nunchuck on Kanisto's good knee, shooting pain through all of Kanisto's limbs immediately sends him to the ground writhing in pain.
