Meanwhile(it is 9:50 in the morning) In the kings castle(Kindom of Ignisia) a massager appears on top of a horse ,The man is dressed in amor made out of
red leather and he carries a dagger and a note and he calls for hes majesty in such a rush ,hes being blocked
by the guards .Few minutes past the king hear a disturbing noice and decide to check for himself. He ask
"What may be the cause of this noice" The guard's hear the kings voice and they bow on one knee and they explain the cause of that problem. The king calls the massager and ask where he comes from and what may hes majesty help him with? The massager hand over the latter and dagger to the king . "Send 20 of our best man west right away" the king commands .Thank you , my King ."If this latter really comes from Blackwood Thane then this might be a threat big enough to effect the whole of Ignisia , No all the four kindoms we have to succeed."
Its 2:45 in the morning in the village where the sun sets (west) the Blackwood village. A Blackwood scout was exploring the forest near his village, He came across a deer wich seems like it was stabbed. Due to his curiosity he
he goes deep into the forest ,20 feet from where he found the dear he come across mountain lion with the same wound .He quickly moves a step to his left and trips over a mans body.wbody. He was dressed in animal skin .He had a bow but with no arrows to be found .The scout sees the mans body make a slight movement. He carries the man and rushes to the village ,He quickly takes the man to the Blackwood medic .3:00 (time) the hunter regains hes consciousness and quickly shout " Echoflayer".
Everyone pause in shock ,The man goes back to sleep. The scout sprint to Blackwood Thane house ,When he arrives he quickly knocks yelling " Blackwood " The door opens and Blackwood comes out. "Echoflayers are near we have to prepare for battle now" and Blackwood with shock on his face he quickly rings the evacuation alarm and goes to look for his Amor Blackwood Thane's hands moved swiftly, strapping on his armor and grasping his sword. He thought of his village, his people, and the unknown threat that loomed over them."
and at that moment he gives his scout a dagger and a note and send him to ignisia
.
Just when quota of the village has evacuated The air suddenly seemed to distort, a bright light that covers the hole village strikes the centre of the village and the impact of the explotion echoes through out the land Blackwood watched in horror as the Echoflayer's flames engulfed the village. The thatched roofs collapsed, sending sparks flying into the night sky.
At the same place where the explotion took place a humanoid figure appears (*Appearance:* The Echoflayer appears as a twisted, humanoid figure with elongated limbs and bulbous, pulsing growths on its body. Its skin is a mass of writhing, iridescent tendrils that seem to shift and change color like a living, breathing oil slick.) Blackwood quickly draws his sword and sprint towards it with the speed as quick as sound and he yells " royal flames "and he slice the echoflayer with a flaming sword in half the echoflayer falls . multiple echoflayer appear
before Blackwood eyes at that moment the village defence team arrives as backup ,Melvin(scout) sprinted through the forest, the Echoflayer's roar echoing behind him. He stumbled over roots and fallen branches, his heart racing with fear ,at the corner of his eye he sees his scout being ambushed he quickly assist him "run Melvin ruuuun do not stop for anything " he quickly escapes with a horse.
Ignisia 10:01 ,"What is your name ?" the king ask .Melvin bows and responds "my name is Melvin Kite your highness and im a scout at Blackwood village " . The king tells Melvin to rise ,and explain the situation on Blackwood village. I hope this time things are going to be different says the king (King Arin)
Blackwood village...
Hours had passed since the Echoflayer's attack on Blackwood village. The sun now hung low in the sky, casting a golden glow over the devastation. Blackwood Thane, his armor charred and battered, surveyed the damage. The village lay in ruins, homes reduced to ashes, and the once-green fields now scorched and blackened.
Meanwhile, in Hosi village, Zephyr sat at Mole's house, sipping tea with Shawn and Lloyd. Mole, still eager to begin his training, looked at Zephyr with anticipation.
Zephyr, sensing Mole's gaze, turned to him. "Patience, young one. Your training will begin soon". Shawn took a sip of his tea and and asked Zephyr a question afterwards. "Zephyr you said you knew our father ,buy i never heard him mention you ,and he was not much of a traveller ever since he gave birth to men i want to know how did you meet up with my father." Zephyr laughed a bit and he says " Time will come for me to explain everything .Now let me focus on training Mole , That is what im here for anyway. " Shawn seems to look like his a bit concerned but he lets everything slides and let Zephyr have it his way .
Back in Blackwood village , Blackwood who was at his limit rushed towards the last echoflayer that was in the village and cut it down .The village solders rushed towards him "We have dealt with the others and the villagers are now safely evacuated ".Blackwood seems to calm down a bit and thank everyone. "Thank you all for your hard work but we know that this is not yet over .I can tell because how weak they are
.Those are not the main echoflayers this just only begun". Blackwood takes a sip of his water of his water and he speaks to himself (my flames are red ,I guess i have gotten weak i have to start training again.) and when he takes a second sip he sees 20 horses arriving carrying 20 men . They introduce themselves as Ignisia elite guard's and as soon as they done introducing themselves a deep voice came from the woods "Aeth'korva o'zhilak, Thara e'Khorva zhilakai" and an echoflayer flayer 4.3 feet tall appears it had eyes as red as the suns light at noon. The other are left in fear for they all fear whats to come next.
NOTE :
*Name:* Echoflayer
*Appearance:* The Echoflayer appears as a twisted, humanoid figure with elongated limbs and bulbous, pulsing growths on its body. Its skin is a mass of writhing, iridescent tendrils that seem to shift and change color like a living, breathing oil slick.
*Abilities:*
1. *Reality Distortion:* The Echoflayer can manipulate reality, creating localized distortions that cause bizarre and terrifying effects, such as:
- Time dilation and loops
- Spatial distortions, making it difficult for opponents to land attacks
- Illusions that blur the lines between reality and madness
2. *Echoing:* The creature can create echoes of itself, summoning multiple, weaker versions that attack and distract opponents. These echoes can also merge to form a more powerful, centralized Echoflayer.
3. *Neural Disruption:* The Echoflayer can emit a debilitating frequency that disrupts the neural connections of those around it, causing confusion, hallucinations, and eventual catatonia.
*Weaknesses:*
1. *Resonance:* The Echoflayer is vulnerable to specific resonant frequencies, which can disrupt its reality manipulation abilities and leave it temporarily stunned.
2. *Mirrored Surfaces:* The creature's ability to manipulate reality is disrupted by mirrored surfaces, which can trap it in infinite loops of reflection.
