Madness: Shadows Tales

the light brigade

1
Many years ago. In the age before the God's and goddesses of the old greek mythology had shed there glory upon the mortal world.. The first people were born with the power of the light in there souls. They were three brothers and two sisters. There names went as followed from oldest to youngest. Klara, Kiara there brother's Ash Luka and the final one of the bunch was kale.
    They were all a year apart but kale. He was two years younger than Luka.
There parents were slaughtered in there sleep by demons of the underworld. The children were saved by some monks in white robes with a gold trim.
They took the children to a monistary in the mountains and raised them as there own. they had heard a voice telling them that they needed to save these children. As they would lead  the light into the future.
So the monks taught them how to fight and use there light for good and gave them a good education. Also showing them to be kind in a cruel world. 
   1b
   Klara who became a tall thin woman with long brown hair. had the gift of light and sight. she was a great warrior who could turn her arrows into light. she loved battle more than anything and would train to be the best. She would also paint beautiful pictures of the future. She was nice kind but fierce.
     Kiara who became a tall woman identical to her sister but with long copper hair. was a master with the sword. She would fight demons killing them without a second glance. She was beautiful. She was always the spotlight.. She'd show off any chance she could. As everything came easy to her. She was a beacon for the light. As she could shoot avalanches of it from her body without losing any energy herself.
    Ash who became a tall stocky man with short brown.  was the fierciest of the brothers and the most handsome of the bunch or thats what he eould say anyways. As he was the cockiest of them all. Sarcastic to say the least. He would put the world on his shoulders. His light was extreme. as a touch of it would disinegrate army without hesitation. His weapon of choice was an axe or long sword. Hell any weapon he got ahold of would do.
    Then there was luka. Who became a tall stocky man with shaggy copper hair. He was a warrior himself but he prefered to play with peoples minds. He could use his light to see the truth. He would see past the physical body. If evil lived somewhere. He would find it and vanguish it. Filling them with his light. Then they'd implode into a coma of nothing. as he was the thinker of them all. He didn't speak much. Always talking to others through there mind's..
   And the last but not least was kale a short built man with long brown hair. Who didnt care much for fighting but  was a hell of a warrior. Like his brother Luka. He used his mind to take care of buisness. He was more of a thinker. strategist! As He was very compassionate and a great listener. Who loved people. He believed violence wasnt an answer but more of solution by those empowered by evil's greed and power. He Led people through his kindness.
   All of the children had special gift of there own. Each you will notice was different but the same.They all looked like chizalled statues with white foggy eyes that glowed yellow.They were led by the council. Which were the monks who took them in.
1c
The council would sit in there chambers made of stone. For days to weeks in silence around a round table made of stone and would wait for the voice to shed the light on them for there next mission. but what they didn't know or would find out was that one of them was a betrayer and had a self interest in there heart but thats for a later time and date.

As the children grew. They had stayed in the monistary there whole adolescent lives. They spoke to eachother through there minds and the same went for the monks. They'd wear the white robes with a gold trim. Unless they were training. Then they'd wear white uniforms with the same gold trim.
There favorite time was when they'd take trips to the village below the mountain to see the villagers and get food or supplies. They were rambunctious. Always running away from the group, exploring on there own and well just getting into trouble. Kids will be kids. When they did this they'd get a slap on the wrist and a scolding. As the monks said if we lose you. the evil could and would find you and if they did. they'd torture you or much worse kill you for what's inside of you.
The monks always told the children,you are the light! The most powerful beings of this world! The first of your kind! brought by the light itself. You need to always be careful. Five steps ahead. They would love to have you. They would eat your soul.

The monks themselves were the finest warriors, the smartest people and the harshest of teachers. As they all knew they had to raise the children to be the best! To religuish the evil forces in this world and the world unseen.
Kree was there leader. He had this plump grey bushy beard, a fat face and the wisdom of the world in his hands and mind. He was kind to the children. They'd say he looked like a wizard. As he always had his white robe on with a big wooden stick on him. That he used to help him get around. it would shoot light from it. shaking the world around it with a powerful shockwaves of light.
Then there was Shuka a short thin man with long black hair. He was a warrior with high ambitions. He was very mean but taught the lessons with clarity. The children would stay out of his way but ash. As ash loved the way shuka was but the children always wondered why they couldnt read his mind. Shuka always carried around batons to hit the kids. when they were misbehaving. He also had two silver twin swords with white edges that carried light in them.
Then there was zala. A tall thin black woman with a romantic glow to her. As her beauty was endless. She had long flowing thick black hair that was put in silver braids.. It went all the way down to her knees. She was smart as a whip and her silver whip spit hell fire from it with a white whiplashing glow. As she cracked it. She taught the children kindness and vigalance with strength. She was stronger than any man alive and it showed.
Also there was Karma who was a short indian lady with the power of insight. She taught the children right from wrong. As she was an old soul with education. She showed the children how to write and read.  all the school stuff they would need to know.
and the last was Sera who was a ghost. He died in the monistary long ago but dwelled within its border. He taught the children humillity among other things. How to wield the world unseen by human eyes. The children had the six sence to see the dead.
they all together made up the council of the light. As they heard its message, accepted its will and did what they had to, to protect its innocence.
   The council had moved up in the mountains. As the light instructed them to. To form the monistary. As later on more and more people showed up in support and shelter. As the light guided them too. they all had a purpose.
The children in return became the brigade to the light. The first true warrior's of it. As eventually they would spread it to the rest of the world. As there kin would one day share in the wealth of there powers and knowledge.

As the children grew up they spread there gifts to the council They gave  them some gifts of there own. So they could expierence the light themselves.
As the children grew into adulthood. They wanted to venture out. They'd sneak out the monistary going down the mountains to the world around them.
One day when luka was 16. He made his way down the mountain to the village. where he met a girl. Her name was Tera. She had long brown hair. Her smile melted the day away and her eyes glowed with an oceans endlessness. As time passed he fell madly in love with her. He spent as much time with her as possible but one day when Luka went to see her. He found her stabbed to death.
Luka was horrified. He sat for days weeping over her dead body. So he brought her back to life with the light inside himself. She wasnt the same tho. She became insane. She didnt have that same look in her eyes. As they became black with a foggy white middle. She was also depressed. Moping around all the time. She tried to stab herself but it did nothing. She just wasn't the same girl luka had fallen in love with.
eventually She went on a killing spree. She took ten people to death's door. Clawing there eyes out and sewing there mouths shut. Putting brass coins on there eyes.
Luka had found her that night. She was in the corner of her hut. Screaming to herself. As she clawed her own eyes out. He had to use his mind to put her back where she belonged. To death.
He told kree about what had happened. Kree had then said to him, im sorry but whats dead stays dead! It cant be undone! Even with light. There's still consequences for living again.
Thats when shuka told him this is why you dont sneak out alone. If you want to go somewhere. i can take you. I know you kids dont like it always being stuck up here but there's a reason why we keep you here. So you stay safe!

When klara was 21 and Ash was 19. Shuka and zala had taken them on a trip to Sparta. They instantly fell in love with it. The aura of the city. How there spirit for living was and the way they fought without mercy. 
Klara had told them she never wanted to leave. Ash said the same. They stayed for a week. Enjoying the food. Mingling with the people and learning there fighting techniques.
Then Klara and Ash showed the Spartans there own ways of living. As they were basically the same.  They sparred with them. They kept pace and them some.
The spartans were impressed by the two's fighting styles and powers. They thought of them as gods. As kira used her light arrows to reliquish darkness. Ash had showed them his exploding lights and the tricks he could do with his twin axes.
As they left. They were met by an army of darkness on there way home. Hundreds of demons,pale creatures and smokey figures. Kira and ash venquished them with ease. Kira's arrows went threw twenty creatues at a time.
Ash's light had taken out crowds with one swift blow from his palm. He'd then throw his axe's like boomerangs. They'd reflect light from the blade and glow a brightness in mid air. Shreading everything and one in  sights.
When they had gotten back to the monistary. They found it ruins. With dead bodies everywhere of monks and evil creatures. With rumble scattered all over the place.

When Kale was 16. He would sneak down to the town with luka or by himself.
When he was down in the village. He would go fishing,explore the woods and go swimming in the waterfall nearby. One day when he was at the waterfall. He met a creature named Creta.
She had black eyes. Her skin was a pale white, her hair was made of black snakes and she had a black mermaids tail. They'd visit for hours. Kale would say i know your evil. So why dont you attack me. She replied just cause some things look evil doesnt mean they are. Just like not all good people are good. Its like saying you can only be one thing. We're all many things. I could try to kill you but whats the point to it. Then someone would want revenge. I just want to live and be free.
The two did this for sometime. Becoming friends. Telling eachother everything. He trusted her even tho her soul was black.
Then when ash and kira went to sparta. Kale went to see her. She had told him to hurry home that there was a force going to destroy his home. He asked her how she knew. Thats when she told him there's a spy in your camp. There making a move against you. So he ran back to the monastary. On his way home unannounced to him. He was being followed.

While klara and ash were in sparta with shuka and zala and kala was at the waterfall. A force of a hundred pale creatures and demons with atom descended upon the monistary.
They swept it with quite easily. They started slaughtering the monks shooting them with there black lights. While using there claws to shred them into pieces. Leaving their bodies bloody with their limbs spread all over the place.
Some of the pale creatures used silver edged black bladed swords or long curly black bladed silver edged knives cutting them to pieces.
The monks had faught back with silver swords of there own. Some used the light gifts bestowed upon them but the evil creatures outnumbered them.
Kree used his staff to blindside them with a powerful yellowish white light that sent shockwaves disintegrating the evil creatures into dust.
Luka used his light powers to fill the evil creatures with a burning sensation that would make them burn from the inside. As it shot lights out from there eyes and mouthes. Making them drop dead. Others exploded  into a black blood splatter that went all over..
Kiara had sent out powerful blasts from her palms that had taken them out with ease. She'd pull out her sword and cut through them.
Karma was killed right away as she was protecting the kids. She put up a fight but was no match for the darkness. They clawed her to death. Then took her light.
Sera jumped into there bodies making them stab themselves. Then hopping back out. Eventually one of the demons sucked him up.
atom then showed up. He was a black mass of veins that were made up to look like a man with grey eyes. Everywhere he walked was death. It would get rotten and old. As everything became dust. He had taken out the monks with black thorns that he would shoot from his body and arms. It rotted them out from the inside. As there veins turned black and their eyes shot out a black goo. They would fall over dead. He would let his dark arms grow like branches into spikes that he'd use to stab people. He single handedly killed what his army couldnt. As he was the only one left standing on his side.
He went to kill luka and kiara. When kree used his staff to send the monster into a lightning bolt of white light that edged itself in a yellowish glow. Then he told luka and kiara that it was time to go. it wasnt safe here anymore and atom would be back soon.
Then he said the rest of the council knew where to go. incase something like this had ever happened. They had a back-up plan. So they looked for kale then left. Luka used his mind to tell kale but he couldnt connect to him.

Kale came back to the monistary and found the massacre. As no one was left. He made his way back to creta. He yelled at her angerly blaming her for the whole thing saying you betrayed me you're the only one who knew everything! How could you! You let them kill my family.
She looked at him with sorrow in her fearless eyes. As she replied with a sadness of her own saying im sorry boy but i did no such thing. I warned you cause I've grown quite fond of you. Dont take that lightly! For we dont feel that emotion but you are speacial to me. Who do you think took out the people following you., She then showed him dead pale creatures abd demons.
Kale looked at her with tears dripping from his cheeks. As he spoke with concern," i have no one know. They all left or there dead. My brothers and sisters are gone. I domt know if ill see them again. What will they think when they come back from Sparta? Either way i dont want to be here. I dont want violence in my life.
Creta turned into a pale human with long flowing lush black hair. Her eyes were black and she was wearing a black glossy dress.
She stuck her hand infront of kale. Then said solemly,if youd like. Ill take care of you.
Kale grabbed her hand. then said only if we can leave in search for a land in which there's no violence.
Creta replied there will always be violence in this world. That's the way it is son but together we can find a place where we belong. Together as one! Ill take care of you.
So the two left.
