Starting from Jacob Sapherio.Jacob was only 10 when he first visited the castle before the apocalypse,his parents were the king's apprentices,each week they would visit the castle to see the king,And since Jacob had nothing to do,we would sneak away from his parents to play with Jace Jaggerz,or JJ, the Jester,they became well friends as JJ always made him laugh,and sometimes they'd always be caught doing mischievous things running around the castle.Jacob also knew the king well,too,for the King has given Jacob a Job in the castle as a Warden,but all that would be changing soon...
Jacob is now 16,and it is 3 weeks after the apocalypse that nobody found the cause of,then Jacob's parents got a message to visit the castle and to bring Jacob with them,and they obeyed the King's orders and left Jacob behind.He had then received a letter from his parents to come visit the castle for ensured safety.And Jacob went to the castle with no monsters appearing or attacking him,and when he got to the castle,the doors appeared unlocked and unprotected,it was dark and eerie on the inside,and on the throne was the king,who looks oddly suspicious with an odd looking Tophat,the doors closed behind them,and the king ordered Jacob to stay insde the thrown room,for he'd try and find the most luxurious room best suited for Jacob.
Jacob wanted to look for Jace,but Jacob thought it'd be too dark to search for him,so he stood still in the main thrown room,and then he heard footsteps and giggling around him,and he got freaked out and saw what looked to be Jace in the light,with his Scythe out,Jacob tried to ask what he was doing,but Jace stood silent.in which startled Jacob for a minute,since JJ usually has a joke for Jacob.but then he started walking towards Jacob,there was blood on his scythe,Jacob stood back slowly,then started running for the backroom when Jace pounced towards him,slashing,he lost Jace,he thought,and when he was walking down the halls,he'd be seeing blood everywhere,scratches and holes in the walls and floors,he called to his parents and the king but there was no response,and then he walked in the backroom to find his parents,dead on the floor,their blood everywhere.
A few minutes passed of just him mourning the death of his parents,and then The Game Master walks in,surprised and angry,there was blood on him,he told Jacob to come to him,but he refused when he saw Jace behind him,he ran away out of the door into the main hall,and the Game Master sent Jace and his men to kill Jacob,but Jacob managed to escape the castle,and Jace had to fall behind,but the soldiers kept searching for him,going into the quarantined city looking for him,and he ran towards his treehouse ignoring everyone who would usually greet him,going hide from the soldiers,when he arrived at his tree house,he curled up and started sobbing quietly,his treehouse was full of drawn pictures of him and jace,and photos of he and his family,And wooden dolls crafted from when,what used to be his friend,Jace saw him upset.Finally,the men have ended their search when they couldn't find Jacob,but He couldn't go back home cause he'd feel that the soldiers would still be waiting for him there,so he stood the night in his treehouse,mourning his parents,where he would stay for a full day,and he heard the men are gone,but he had lost all hope of continuing.
Then all of a sudden,a purple butterfly flew in with a sparkly trail leading behind it,as if it wanted him to follow it,he refused,but he heard footsteps approach him,so he ran away to follow to butterfly,and then while he was following it,he tripped over some vines in the ground and fell in a dark hole,which was full of the purple butterflies. His head was bleeding on impact,and then he saw a 12 foot Valkyrie or Death Angel statue just covered in vines and moss,it felt like it spoke to him,it told him to reach for his hand,young Jacob grabbed the statue's hand but he was already passing out from the impact.and then he felt a hand wrap over his head and stopping the bleeding,and then arms sweeping him from in the cave,and fly him back on the surface ground where he was left at his bed at his home,then he saw the familiar face of the statue,as it said "thank you so much for freeing me,but I'm afraid this isn't the right time." And then it disappeared and then Jacob was found in his bed by his family's friends,they heard what had happened and went looking for him.
ten years post apocalypse.Jacob has just turned 26,rocking a new style and a new light beard.Ever since the accident,he's been studying trying to recall what the Valkyrie looked like and what his origins were,but he couldn't. But that would be until he has awaken him,for he would go on to use King Slayer as a Champion when the time was right for him...
my name is Caroline,i'm going to tell you how all this really began.
