In the kingdom of Medtron king Hydris, And his advisers in black robes sit in a room with 4 pillars surrounding a seal with many runes and await the arrival of grandmaster Shu.
Grandmaster Shu would help them protect themselves for the war to come with the 4 Grandmasters'
"My King" One of the advisers spoke up. "What if the grandmaster decided to run to a far corner of the world, and forget of us." The adviser spoke with worry. "If he so pleased he could leave us, and save his skin."
The King spoke. "You dare doubt those who I trust?". If looks could kill, then this adviser would have just been annihilated from one look. The adviser shivered violently and stepped back as far as he could. To not face the wrath of the King "He will come" The King stated while putting his eyes back on the seal.
"Vrrrrrrr" The runes began to vibrate. A bright light appeared before the King and his men. "There he is now," The King said as he began to walk toward the light with arms open to welcome his friend, and war buddy, The light was dissipating now.
The King stepped forward. "Always the dramatic one, somethings never change" But when he got to the light a body landed in his hands, But not that of grandmaster shu, But a young boy with green eyes and black hair. He was in the nude except for some blades around his waist, a product of teleporting without enchanted clothes or proper spells.
Shen began to open his eyes. Shen looked up to see a man in his late 40s holding him like an infant, and was about to ask what was going on when Shen realized "What the- why am I naked?? you shameless person taking advantage of me in this state!" Shen screamed and smacked him while he jumped off the man's arms.
"Hey!" The King exclaimed, It didn't hurt, But the more present thought in his mind was, 'What do you mean shameless? how dare he say that to me? I've never done anything shameless he's the one who is running around naked.' The King was distraught and offended.
"How dare he say that to the king?!?!?!" One of the advisers exclaimed.
"Such insolence" Another scoffed.
"He should be killed." One fainted with one hand on his forehead
The King rolled his eyes at their reactions.
"Who you? Where am I? Where is grandmaster Shu? What have you done to him?" Shen shouted while holding the daggers out, It was then the king noticed
'Those daggers aren't they?' The king thought.
Shin let out another shout and ran at the king daggers in hand. Shin lunged at the king with full force; the king dodged the boy's daggers.
He grabbed the hands holding the daggers. He flipped the boy over, Taking the blades from his hands.
"It is isn't it wow he finally found one worthy huh, But he seems to be lower mortal type," The king said taking a closer look at the blade, Shin didn't stop though, He lunged at him again attempting to kick the back of the man's legs, But couldn't even make them budge as they were hard as steel, "Agh" Shin exclaimed after hitting his legs,
The pain didn't stop him, however, as Shen then jumped up, he tried to stab at the King's eye With his fingers,
But he was restrained by two guards wearing black armor. While being held down he couldn't move an inch against the guards restraining him. The King came down to Shen's face looking at him, with curiosity in his eyes and sighed 'He always did do the most difficult things'.
"Calm down kid think sometimes warping messes with the brain when you are not ready for it" The King said in a calming voice " I mean you no harm" The King gestured to the guards holding Shen and they loosed their grip on him allowing him to stand.
"I'm a friend of Shu's and you have no need to fear me ok my name is Aceton Leon what is yours," the King said with a
He gave shen his blue cape.
" M-my name is Tanda Shen," Shen said in a scared tone while he slowly got up and covered himself with the cape given to him." What happened?" Hydris asked with worry in his voice " Where is Shu?" The King asked Shen in a calm voice.
"I-i don't know the last thing I remember was him and I standing in the temple ready to face someone, and...Then he teleported me here without me knowing by placing the scroll to my chest," Shin said looking down with sorrow filled eyes as he slowly remembered what happened to the grandmaster. "Wait! He is still at the temple! I have to help him! I must go back!" Shen shouted.
"Who?" hidris asked.
"The four grandmasters" Shen replied.
Everything stopped.
Hydris, the advisers, and the guards all stopped and felt a chill up their spines, And they're blood run cold,
Hydris began to speak "Stop..."
"What?" Shen responded.
Hydris looked serious and focused. "Did Shu give you these blades?" The King asked while he stared directly into Shin's eyes.
"Yes," Shen stared back at him curiously.
"Then its too late. He is already dead and gone..." Hydris said with a painful expression
"No! He can't be I was just with him! If I go back now I can help him get to safety!"
"STOP!" The king's voice boomed he once again looked shen in the eyes. " It has been 2 hours since then," The king said
Shen's eyes filled with tears "No, I was just with him how could it have been that long-"
" It takes two hours to get here from the temple with the scroll and even if it did what would you do against one grandmaster? let alone four of them you would be like an ant in front of a bear!" Hydris said coldly
"But-" Shen stopped. He realized what had happened.
He realized that there was nothing he could do, They would have smooshed him like a bug!
He only would have been trouble for the grandmaster even if he stayed.
He felt so weak, his legs felt like jelly, as he fell to the ground.
Hydris caught him with his arm and sat him down "He is gone." Shen felt a sense of sadness well up from within like never before.
He could barely squeak the choked up words out of his mouth. "He is gone but you live on." Shen looked up at Aceton after he said those words.
"And frankly your the one who is gonna save us from war since your the one he chose for it" Aceton grinned
"W-what do you mean I'm too weak to do anything against anyone." Shen was sobbing at this point "At the moment Yes" hydris said "But soon enough you will be very strong" Hydris grinned happily at what he discovered.
"What makes you so sure?" Shen muttered looking at the king with eyes red from sobbing. "These do," Hydris said holding the blades in his hand "You see grandmasters have a custom that not many people know of"
Hydris continued with a smile from ear to ear
"What's that?"Shen was interested if his master had left him something in the blades.
"When a grandmaster gives you his weapon you become his one and only student because he has, and will train you. because he saw something in you and I plan on finding out what." Hydris said as he stood up and held a hand out to Shen.
He wanted to cry more than ever now 'Did the grandmaster have that much trust in me and my ability is that way or?'
Suddenly a memory came back to him it was the grandmaster saying"just promise you will stay alive to remember me ok?" Those words rang out in Shen's head.
Remembering this made it even more difficult to stop the tears already flowing. Hydris stood there awaiting Shen, suddenly Shin stood silently, and grasped Hydris hand. " I will honor and memory and bring vengeance in his name." Anger burning like hellfire in his eyes. The tears were gone only hatred remained
"Good," Hydris said.
