Chapter 2 - Chapter 01 - Fallen Legacy

Eurus Continent, Protoss empire... 

 Province of Agnus-Dei, sky City...

 Black Star Condominium, mansion A...

- Mister A (annoyed, sighs): Pay attention Grey! I'll only tell you only once, Arthur was born... He was born in the former United Kingdom, before the second great union, the son of the king and queen, the legitimate heir, the first son of the sovereigns...

Son of a couple who loved each other very much, he was the result of pure love, pure intimacy, but... One day, when Arthur was still a child, the heart of the king, his father, changed, and was no longer the same. From a young, just and wise king, he became violent, arrogant, aggressive and perverse, he killed for no reason, he started to marry several women, princesses, nobles, daughters of elders, and families prospered with these unions.

The Treadway family remained the most powerful, and prestigious family. The queen did her best so that the boy did not witness these behaviors, but you can't take a child away from his father, can you?

In the same period, something strange happened, the queen realized that while the king was concerned with having fun, and satisfying his perverse desires, the kingdom was being watched by spies and, all allies tried to alert the king, but he did not want to listen, consequently the kingdom was invaded, the king was killed and the queen had to flee being 8 months pregnant, with a 6-year-old son, and a faithful elder, Windsor. It was a terrible night for the kingdom, the invaders let the women live but killed the other sons of the deceased king. The invader was looking for the queen, he wanted her to consolidate his throne, and also because the usurper heard that she was very beautiful to look at. But the queen in her cunning fled before they reached the palace, towards the forests of the cold lands of Alfmosis.

- Grey (paying attention): Oh, right... So, it was like this. I remembered a little...

- Mister A (looking at Grey with a vein on his face): Silence child! Let me tell you the story. And in that forest, the boy discovered by the mouth of the elder, that his mother was not human, but an amazon, a modified species, of only women, who went through changes that made them reach the maximum of their physical and psychological abilities. The furious queen almost killed the butler for revealing this. Amazons have twice the hormones that human women have, many qualities and many defects too.

The elder explained that this was why the kid was different, he was half amazon and human. Faster, stronger, more agile and sharper reflexes than a normal human being. Sometime later, in the forest, in one of the searches for firewood, the boy found a caravan of kidnappers about to rape a child, and killed the four kidnappers, and saved not only the girl's life, but her dignity. He discovered that she was a princess, Hera, adopted daughter of the great Emperor Zeus, known as the god king, they became friends immediately.

Later they continued their journey, leaving the princess near Athens, the capital of the Greek empire, and the three followed to the south of the continent Asu, waiting for the moment when the tide allows them to reach the amazon island. And when the time came, they ran towards the beach, but the usurper's assassins caught up with them and while the fallen queen organized the boat for them, the elder, a Supreme Master, fought five Grand Masters alone. The fallen queen succeeded, but not in time to prevent the elder from being injured, fortunately he managed to defeat them all, and they got into the boat, and went towards the island...

- Grey (thoughtful): Yes, I remember that, now tell it faster, the most interesting parts, tell it, go on...

- Mr. A (arms crossed) "I'm tempted to beat this brat...": Okay, sur...Many questions arose along the journey, "What were the amazons like?" "Would they accept men on the island?" "Where is the island?" "What's it like to be an amazon?" Shut up kid, I won't answer you now, organize the questions, I'll answer when I'm done, understood?

- Grey (excited, nods): Yes Mr. A...…

When they arrived on the island they had a warm welcome, with bows and arrows, spears, swords and shields, they were about to be killed by a squad of women armed to the teeth, but a woman different from the others appeared, with a crown, jewels and luxurious clothes.

Andromeda greeted her mother, Queen Cassandra. Both moved, hugged each other, and the queen of the amazons, Arthur's grandmother, was very happy with her daughter's return. The next day, when they were all rested, the elder with the proper medical care. They were taken to the throne room, and the amazons expressed their obvious dissatisfaction with the presence of men on the island, it was ordered that the butler had to leave, he had only 36 hours to do so, otherwise he would die, Andromeda, mother of the protagonist, was well received and her titles of princess returned to her, as well as her prestige.

The newborn daughter, Allana, was received and accepted as a princess, but the boy was rejected. He had to leave, but the queen didn't like that, she preferred to keep the boy on the island under one condition, he had to fight for his stay, fight in the supreme championship, the biggest and most lucrative championship at that time, where everyone could see who the strongest amazon was.

The kid accepted without choice, but he and his grandmother didn't get along at first, the boy refused to submit to the queen, his grandmother. A new stage in their lives began, now the killers did not know where they were, for the time being, at least. And having agreed on the terms, the elder returned to the United Kingdom, left the island.

Arthur began to train with his mother, and to study with her at night, as he could not leave his room much, because the amazons hated him, his mother was his teacher, and he learned from her, until the queen began to train him. And he evolved, and at the age of nine, already at the proficient level, the supreme championship began. With great difficulty he achieved the first victory, meanwhile, one of the queen's advisors conspired against the boy to kill him, and the grandmother watched him in secret. In the Championship, he was brave enough to defeat Zeus' daughters, leaving them seriously injured, faced his childhood friend, Hera, and at that fight he showed that he was the one, the prophesized Lord...

The Ultimate Lord, the one who would possess the Dragon aura, the anointed one, but that's for another time. He showed an oppressive, domineering aura, of someone who has fought in many battles, has fought many wars, something surprising to Hera, his adversary, and for those watching, the amazons did not believe that a child could make princess Hera give up a fight. Hera who was seen as an unparalleled martial artist, who had a physical strength equal to giants, and a beauty much rarer than that of the white elves, was subdued, the amazons were furious that day, but they could not deny that Arthur was strong.

And days after that, Zeus was notified that one of his daughters was in a coma and another gave up a fight. Furious, he decided to go to the island, there, he tried to kill Arthur with his bare hands, but couldn't, the boy had a protector...

The amazons have been servants of the Olympus family since the time of Emperor king Pendragon, but Arthur didn't know it yet, he only knew that Zeus was very feared for being one of the strongest on the Eurus continent, and for the stories around him, going to bed with his daughters, killing his own wife, killing without needing a reason, slavery, and many other things. After all that, Arthur's next opponent was Athenas, who was a Master, and under normal conditions, they could not fight because they were of different cultivation levels, but Zeus convinced, or killed someone...

- Mr. A (drinks a glass of water, sighs): I need my medicines, Terra!

- The housekeeper (approaches, leaves a few pills): I'm here boss, I brought your medicine, it's about time and I brought a piece of cake for young master Grey... (looks at Grey, smiles)

- A servant (with a tray, leaves a slice of cake, a packet of juice and a glass on the table, leaves)

- The housekeeper (smiles): Bon appetite Grey, and boss, your lunch is almost ready...

- Mr. A (looks at the housekeeper, smiles): Thank you Terra, always attentive.- The housekeeper (leaves)

- Mister A (takes his pills, while Grey eats): I'll keep going while you eat, and don't forget to go home too.

- Grey (eating): Okay, Mr. A.- Mr. A (sighs, leans against his chair): Where did I stop...? Oh yes, Athenas was the strongest daughter of Zeus, one of the strongest persons on the continent, feared even by her own father...

Trained by monks, samurais, and ninjas from the highest mountains in the world. She was a strong war tank, a genius, versed in brain and brawn, a mixture of beauty and violence. She was the one Arthur, a nine years-old, would face, while still being at the Proficient level.

On the day of the fight, which happened to be the championship final, Zeus ordered his daughter to kill the boy. But the always indifferent Athenas did not care, he was a simple mortal in her eyes, and the fight began, Athenas massacred Arthur with an indifferent face, but again, a nanotechnology's self-defense system inside Arthur was activated, and he broke Athenas' arms and legs. Everyone could see the fear on the woman's face, her agony, the incredulity of the audience, the fury of Zeus, and the sigh of relief of queen Cassandra, her grandmother, princess Andromeda, her mother, and princess Hera, her friend, and the contempt of princess Aphrodite, daughter and lover of Zeus.

The next day, Zeus left the island, humiliated, with his daughter traumatized, Aphrodite complaining about everything, and Zeus, furiously expelled Hera and said that he will kill Arthur for this. The kid was a champion, but the queen was afraid, adopted Hera as her daughter and told Arthur that because of this Zeus would not let it go, in addition to king Aca, Zeus wanted the kid dead.

Months later, some spies sent by princess Andromeda, returned, and informed that the United Kingdom was in decline, king Aca enslaved the population, and unfortunately all of Arthur's half-brothers were dead, and the daughters of some of the main elders married the king. Arthur continued his life with ease, cultivating and looking for answers to his questions in the books, discovering that the period in which the amazons disappear is the period of reproduction, and when he asked someone about it, they ran away from the subject in fear, but someone ended up saying that reproduction has to do with the electricity used on the island, and the energy sold by Zeus, and with the power of the god king...

Arthur and Hera began training with swords, being instructed by the queen.

- Grey (with cake on his cheeks and nose, stands up): Mr. A, I'm going to lunch, I'll see you later, okay? Don't die, okay? (hugs Mr. A, leaves)

- Mr. A (with cake on his shirt, grunts) "This kid..." (smiles)
