[My Hero Legendarium] Princess Eri

Eri of Ylocknalem: Origin

In a long time agone, there is once a kingdom in the continent of Skioreh known in the archives of the Dark Library as Ylocknalem. During its last years prior to its asunder and ruin, a young princess of age about three winters, a child named Eri, accidentally vanished her father when her magical power has activated through unknown means. Her mother is mortified at the news and send her daughter to the court of her father, the King of Ylocknalem.

While the court talketh and harketh amongst themselves about this peculiar incident and how to take action, the King is rather displeased that his daughter tried to disowned his granddaughter by calling her an accurst offspring; a fiend; an anathema that shall bring ruin to everyone! However he understands his daughter's grief so instead of full-on banishment of the poor princess, he send her to one of the trusted alchemists of the royal family: Kai Chisaki, the Ekek* Alchemist.

Sir Chisaki is a strange fellow amongst his colleagues; for one he is very obsesseth with cleanliness despite his brethren doesn't mind filth unless it's necessary such as during medical operations or quarantines; another is that he would study the archaic works of antiquated alchemists such as topics on the Philosopher's Stone despite both the improbability and the amount of resources to make one. However, no one bother to correct him and his ways due his rather... destructive wrath he wrought instantly that results in a bloody mess that woulf later reconstructed back to life. Though his work is effective that along with being technically adopted to the royal family, he also earn the trust of the King himself as an alchemist.

When the King handed his granddaughter to him, it was his job to find a cure to erase this newly manifested power. As he makes experiments in his alchemic laboratory and find recipes during his flights for less than two years, he found something interesting in Eri; due to her magical power have the ability to revert something to its previous state, he began to experiment on her. After many trials and errors within months, Sir Chisaki have found what he considers the living Fountain of Youth; while not a Philosopher's Stone nor one that can truly grant actual immortality and eternal youth, this is equally important as any of them to him as well as many others like him, even if her iron-coated blood would act as the rejuvenating wine for the nobles under a certain price.

He brings this good yet maddening news upon the King's court, it results in an uproar of praises and mirth; the councilmen even considered to have the granddaughter become a living martyr to rejuvenate her peers and elders, especially to the her grandfather the King of Ylocknalem himself. The King, however, disagrees with this notion as he considers it to be inhumane to the young and now troubled princess; he ordered Sir Chisaki to hand her over under his custody as her grandfather. While the court and Sir Chisaki went silent at the King's judgement, in their minds they are being filleth with frustration and envy due to being denied of their rejuvenation and thus longevity. So they simply phrase simple words under their soft and easy breaths: "Coup d'état."

As the councilmen and alchemists develop their malignant plan of usurpation against the King, Sir Chisaki seeks out whereinsoever the individuals on the kingdom to used as pawns for this grandiose operation: Shin Nemoto the Confessor, Rikiya Katsukame the Brute, Deidoro Sakaki the Drunkard, Toya Setsuno the Thief, Yu Hojo the Golem, Soramitsu Tabe the Glutton, Kendo Rappa the Gladiator, and Hekiji Tengai the Guardian; all of them combined and they shall form the Eight Expendables under the command of the three members of the elite guard known as Eight Precepts of Death, which includes the alchemist himself and his two associates.

However, the remaining five members caught wind of this ambitious treachery and hereupon they relay the message to the King of Ylocknalem. He is both furious and dreaded about this and dispatcheth his guardsmen to protect his troubled granddaughter from the conspirators' gaunt and withered grasp for regaining their youth. While guarding Eri in her enclosed room, the guardsmen, along with the five members of the Eight Precepts of Death, they fought the Eight Expendables and some powerful conspirators while the rest are surrounding the area both outside and inside in case the princess goes to her escape route. Meanwhile, Sir Chisaki and his fellow conspirators have crippled the old King and have him bedridden on his throne.
