Chapter 1 - Roads beginning

45 years ago there was a great and deadly war between two rival kingdoms. The kingdom of damitare a kingdom of united beast kin factions who ruled over most of the continent of Breyliaand the kingdom of Hyrigar a holy kingdom that worships the holy saintess Ciloquin holy saint of righteous virtue and judgment. their war raged for 100 years before its end. when the kingdom of Ciloquin used the saintess's power to destroy the kingdom and people of the beastkin bringing them nearly to extinction. Their Warrior Prince managed to escape with his life thanks to his Family's tie to the god of death. being defeated by the saintess's army and seeing his kingdom and people destroyed in this way he swore to bring the people responsible to their knees before him and make them pay for what they have done. Darius spent his youth training and finding power to defeat Ciloqin but now Darius heads to a small village belonging to a duke of ciloquin by the name of Hartford.

Darius leisurely strolls down a forest road. The sun shines softly on his soft brown skin. His large manelike hair lightly rustles in the soft breeze as he stares at the sky without care. He sighs with the weight of unmistakable sadness. I guess I've arrived. He lowers his gaze from the sky seeing a large hooded wagon flipped to its side in the distance.

He takes a deep breath, flexes his legs, and instantly covers the distance with lightning speed. he rifles through the wagon finding destroyed goods and an unconscious elderly man. He checks the man's pulse and finds that he is alive just knocked out. he puts his black glove-covered hand over the man's head power surges from his hand healing any injuries the man has. He stands up and leaves the man to rest. looking around He quickly finds tracks leading to a path on the right through the forest. he quickly makes his way down the path not making a single noticeable noise along the way. he shortly finds 3 men around an unlit campfire laughing. /he watches for a bit as they talk about their plunder. " That guy was loaded look at this boss." the man tosses a pouch to another man wearing nothing but brown leather pants and a wolf pelt over his shoulder the man sits next to a large crimson sword jammed into the ground. The bag spills a few coins to the ground as he catches it. He sets the bag down and smirks. "I wonder?" the other two look at each other with puzzled looks. " what are you wondering boss? how much booze we could buy with that haul." he stands up and laughs as he leans towards them." I wonder how long he's been there as Darius watches the man vanish in the blink of an eye showing up behind Darius kicking in his direction Darius swiftly dodges out of the way towards the other two men. they jump up to meet him with their blades he dodges the first blade and guides the second into his friend using brute strength. the first drops to the ground unable to fight. he dodges another attack from the other marauder who swings wildly trying to hit him. The boss watches as the man plays with his subordinate stepping just outside of the blade range each time all the while not even looking at the man he's fighting only watching him. " Get out of there your no match for him".The marauder steps back. Darius smiles closing the gap and instantly landing a knee right in the man's solar plexus knocking him unconscious. " You went and ruined my fun Jonathan Crimson tooth." Jonathan laughs"so your a bounty hunter I see whats my current bounty 2...3hundred gold I bet you could retire from something like that." Jonathan rushes in with insane speed. Darius calmly receives and redirects Jonathan's blow pushing him into the flat of his blade sending both to the ground. Jonathan stands." you will not toy with me as you did them. A hot red energy radiates from Jonathan . He rushes in swinging for Darius' neck. Darius swiftly punches the blade causing Jonathan to miss his swing." come on son can't you hit a target that isn't even moving with all that strength." Jonathan screams back." you arrogant old bastard how dare you look down on me I'm a crimson tooth." Jonathan's eyes turn a deep blood red and his muscles grow in size. he lifts his sword and swings down toward Darius. as the blade hits Darius he begins to glow with bright red energy. he flexes and the blade is completely deflected and sent flying into a nearby tree nearly cutting it down with the force. enough boy you are weak give up now and your life will be spared. Darius stands with an indomitable presence. Jonathan wavers for just a moment then slaps his own face. you almost got me there old man, but I've never run from a fight, and should I die here against you then I was killed by a great warrior. Darius puts his hand on his head and looks to the sky. you are just like him. Jonathan gets a puzzled look on his face. Huh... before Jonathan could even realize he was under attack Darius was right next to him punching his face Jonathan's body moved for him throwing him backward. wow, your instincts are refined there is no way you saw that coming you must have been fighting every day of your life. Jonathan steps to Darius what would you know you look like all you've known is cushy sheets and warm hugs your entire life. Jonathan unleashes a flurry of blows at Darius pushing him back . Darius is wearing nice regal-looking clothes and holds himself with the air of a noble. he smirks. You have no idea the horror I've seen and the horror I've caused. Darius jumps back. You fell for it Jonathan reaches toward the tree his sword sits in ripping it from the tree. I haven't had to use this on anyone in my past but for you ill make an exception. Jonathan doubles in size becoming almost 11 ft tall and gaining rippling muscles his body grows short red hairs all over and he grows the horns of a bull. I'm one of the legendary beast he rushes in. That's enough. Darius' eyes turn a bright golden hue and he lets out a small portion of his killing intent its enough to cause Jonathan to fall to his knees before him and vomit. What are you? Jonathan struggles to get out. Darius puts one foot on Jonathan's back. I am the legendary beast king he steps with enough force to crack the ground in a 10 ft circle around them. Jonathan falls unconscious reverting to his human form. Darius puts his hand out healing him. You are one strong warrior your father would be proud Jonathan.
