As Zeke and Blade walked through the Keyon Forest, Zeke asked Blade if he was going to be okay living at the Kingdom of Arithia. Blade nodded in an agreeing way. When they came out of the forest, Blade ran ahead in amazement as he looked at the kingdom. “This is awesome!” Blade said. “Yeah it’s something.” Zeke agreed. “Well let’s go!” Zeke gestured. Blade nodded as he started running toward the kingdom. Finally! Zeke and Blade opened the giant doors of the kingdom. Guards came up to them, greeting Zeke on his return. “This way. Right up these stairs.” Zeke said. “To where?” Blade asked. “You’ll see.” Zeke said.
They came to a stop at two big doors. The doors were red, with an outline of yellow. The doorknobs were gold, and smooth. As Zeke opened the door, Blade heard voices in the room inside. " Well look who returned." Queen Sara said. Blade was about to faint. He was in the presence of the queen of Arithia. " It was a hard journey, but we made it." Zeke said. Two guards entered the room and took Blade out. " They will take you to your room." Zeke said. Blade nodded and left. " So it's really him." Sara said. " Yeah. When I arrived, his town was in ruin with dead bodies everywhere. He was unconscious and lucky to be alive. He has no family, and all he knows is how to farm." Zeke said. "Well I guess your just going to have to train him." Sara said. " Yes my lady." Zeke said as he left the throne room.
Blade stood in a big battle field. He was given a sword, nothing more. Blade didn't understand what he was supposed to do until a door opened. Out came a man riding a horse. He was equipped with two daggers, and a long-sword, a bow and an estimate of 25 arrows. " So your the legendary warrior that is supposed to protect all of Arithia." the man said. " I guess, but who are you?" Blade responded. " I am General Ojia. The best there is." Ojia said. " So do we have to fight or something, because if we do, that wouldn't seem fair." Blade said. " Is the legendary warrior scared." Ojia taunted. " That's it!" Blade shouted as he darted toward Ojia with his sword ready. " Hahaha. You fool. Do you really want to die?" Ojia shouted back. Ojia drew his sword and had his horse start charging at Blade.
When the horse was in front of Blade, he spun around and jumped on the back behind Ojia. Blade went to stab him in the back, but he turned around and blocked it. " It's not going to be that easy." Ojia said as he pushed Blade off. Blade fell to the ground, and when he looked up an arrow was headed right for him. He rolled over, but the arrow had skimmed his right arm. Blade as fast as he could got up and started running toward Ojia. Blade blocked every arrow with his sword, and when he got up to Ojia, Ojia jumped off his horse, but Blade was able to cut his arm.
Ojia and Blade then went into close combat with their swords. Blade was able to push Ojia back. Ojia lost his guard and got cut down the chest. Now on the ground, Ojia lay there, panting. " Well, well, well. I guess you win." Ojia said as the guards came to get him. Blade had won, and his victory was the start of his training. He got much better with sword fighting and archery. He was trained in hand combat, and jumps fused with energy to make him jump higher. After a year his training was complete. He was strong enough to surpass Zeke, the head general. Blade was now the Guardian of Arithia.
People respected him, and everywhere he went, everyone screamed his name and ran after him. He was now more popular then the queen. As he was checking out the shops, he saw everyone running somewhere, along with the guards. He followed some guards to a circle of people. There were two guards beating up someone. " Stop! Stop!." Blade shouted. The guards followed his orders and stepped back. Blade looked at the victim. Blades eyes grew big. " You!" Blade said. The victim was a boy. A year older than Blade was 14 years old making the boy 15. "What? Who are you?" the boy said. " I'm Blade. From Blade Town. You used to live there." Blade answered. " Now I remember." the boy said. " What is your name again?" Blade asked. "Byockery" the boy answered.
The guards explained to Blade that Byockery had robbed stores and homes several times. " Take him away." Blade ordered. The guards nodded, and dragged Byockery away. Blade returned to the kingdom. When he entered, he saw a big banner with the picture of a man on it. He asked a guard near by who he was. " Well that's the legend of this country. His name his Bokaih. He was an elf. One of the last. He was murdered by an evil foe who attacked these lands long ago." the guard said.
He saw Zeke on the balcony. Zeke guestered for Blade to come over. Zeke took Blade to Queen Sara. " We found a message on my desk today. It said " there will be war in three months time." The way it was translated seemed like a goblin wrote it. So i have a mission for you. You will go to Harh-Doon, the goblin country and ask Nickerater if and why you are plottingg waragainstt Arithia." Sara said. " What! You want me to confront Nickerater? How do you suppose I even get to his tower, better yet to his throne room?" Blade asked.
" You figure it out. It's your job as guardian to protect us. You leave in an hour." Sara said. Blade left to pack for his two month journey. He was still wondering what he would do. He went to the stables to get a horse, and returned to the courtyard. Never in his life did he think this is how he would live. A poor farmer, to a famous guardian. He was off in a heartbeat. He traveled through mountains, wide open fields, he even passed his home town being rebuilt. After 3 weeks of traveling, he made it to the border line. A twenty foot high wall stretched across the whole border. The top of the wall had goblins paroling on the top. It was six feet going vertically. It had boxes with supplies in them. Blade rode up to the nearest gate. " What do you want boy?" a goblin said. " I have a message from Queen Sara to be given to Nickerater." Blade stated. " We will alert Nickerater." the goblin said as the gate doors opened. Blade then quickly took off before they changed their minds. He didn't seem it would be this easy, but now he had to go to Nickerater.
After a week of traveling through hoard plains, and wastelands he arrived at the unmeasurable tower. He entered and darted towards the stairs. Haha he thought as he started scaling the staircase. He now needed to keep climbing and he would almost be there. About thirty minutes went by till he finally made it to the top. He opened the doors of the throne room. Nickerater was sitting in his throne. " Ah. Welcome. A message to be delivered is why you are here is it not?" Nickerater asked. " Yes. We wanted to know if you were planning on going to war with us?" Blade answered. " Now why would I do that?" Nickerater asked. " We found a note that said " there will be war in three months time" translated by a goblin. We knew it was a goblin by the writing." Blade said. " Well I am not going to war so sorry for the concern." Nickerater said. " I will be on my way then." Blade said as he left.
As Blade left the room, he heard Nickerater start talking to someone. "He's hear! And he's with-" Nickerater paused. Blade got scared and started to run. As he got to the end of the corridor Nickerater appeared in front of him. " Thought you could trick me?" Nickerater asked. " I wasn't trying to trick you!" Blade answered. "Enough!" Nickerater shouted as he blasted Blade into a corner. Blade was terribly bleeding in the chest, and had a broken rib. Nickerater walked up to him, and was about to do another blast to kill him when someone screamed CHAOS DEMISE! Byockery came running down the corridor at Nickerater with his right hand out. His hand has a pitch black right arm with a black ball in his hand. When Nickerater turned to see who it was, Bycokery stuck the orb through Nickeraters chest. Blade stared in astonishment as Nickerater was turning to dust. In a minute there was a pile of dust sitting where Nickerater stood. He was dead.
Blade couldn't help but stare at Byockery. Byockery looked at Blade. Blade was about to say something, but started to faint. Byockery teleported and Blade passed out. Blade woke in a bright room. The sun was blaring through the window. He couldn't remember a thing or where he was. Zeke walked into the room. " How are you doing?" Zeke asked. " Fine." Blade answered as he got up. " Let's go into the main hall and see what's happening. Theres big commotion" Zeke said.
Zeke and Blade went down to the main hall. There were lot's of guards and townsfolk. " What's happening?" Zeke asked a guard. " We spottedd Comolaney warriors being lead by their king. About ten of them." the guard answered. Then the kingdom doors burst open. In came ten warriors. Then the king. " Why are you here?" Blade shouted. " And who are you?" the king said. " I am the Guardian of Arithia! Blade Zamikon!" Blade answered. " Hahahahaha! You're the legendary guardian I heard of? Ha!" the king said. " I am. Now why are you hear?" Blade asked. " None of your business." he answered. " It is my job to protect Arithia. I need to know why our rival country is hear!" Blade said. " Leave now peasant, or die!" the king said. " That's it!" Blade shouted. " How about this. You and me have a battle. If you win, I'll leave. If I win, I stay as long as I want." the king offered. " Fine." Blade agreed. " We will fight in the wasteland Colosseum in Harh-Doon in an hour." the king said as he left the kingdom with the warriors.
An hour passed, and now Blade and the king stood face to face ready to battle. " Now before we fight I need to no one thing." Blade said. " And what would that be?" the king asked. " What is your name." Blade asked. " Taquan." he answered. Then a bolt of lighting went right through Blades left shoulder. " Ah!" Blade screamed as he put his hand over his shoulder to stop the bleeding. Taquan then began shooting tons of bolts at Blade. Blade was barley able to dodge one for they were light speed. Taquan then rushed at Blade and punched him. Blade flew into the sky, and as he was falling, Taquan teleported under him and kicked him in the stomach to keep in the air.
Taquan let Blade fall to the ground. Blade went down with a crash. Bleeding all over his body Blade was. He was in no condition do fight. He struggled to get on his knees but still failed. " Well look at this. Defeated all ready?" Taquan asked. No sound from Blade at all. " Your not dead. So stop pretending and get up." Taquan said. Blade still made no sound. Taquan started to slowly walk towards him. When he reached him, his eyes widened. Sand was coming out of Blades torn sleeve. There was already a pile of it everywhere under him. Taquan was so confused. He was about to say something, but couldn't continue for a blast of sand threw him back. Blade now got up. He had sand all over him and coming out of his sleeves and pant legs. His eyes were bright yellow. " What is this?" Taquan asked. " It is your death." Blade answered. Blade continuouslyly blasted sand at Taquan. Taquan dodged a lot, but still was often hit. He teleported behind Blade and went to hit him, but a wall of sand blocked it. Blade turned around and blasted Taquan back.
" Where did you get this power Blade?" Taquan asked. ".....Who is Blade?" Blade asked. " What are you talking about." Taquan asked confused. " Oh. You must be referring to this container. Well this Blade is not here. I have token him over for now. I can't have this fool die or I die." Blade answered. " Then who are you?" Taquan asked. " The.....Dead.....One." The Dead One answered. " Doesn't matter. Either way I'll kill you both." Taquan said. The Dead One was now continuouslyly punching and kicking at Taquan. Now he couldn't block anything. The Dead One was too fast, too strong. Taquan new he was going to have to a certain technique to finish this. Taquan jumped to the ground, and The Dead One followed. Now The Dead One and Taquan were about five meters from each other. " Well time to die." The Dead One said. " Yup." Taquan said. The Dead One charged at Taquan. " Heh. Lighting Blast Final Impact!" Taquan shouted. A giant ball of lighting shot at The Dead One. When it hit him, it exploded into electricity and made a huge explosion. After all the smoke had cleared, Blade lay on the ground, and Taquan stood over him. He sighed and teleported.
Blade woke to yelling. He heard guards yelling at guards. Screaming orders at them. He got up and looked out the window. What he saw was an army of 5,000 goblins marching toward the kingdom. He couldn't believe it. They reached it and he saw a battle begin to break out. Then he saw Nickerater fly past it to the courtyard. Blade ran as fast as he could to the courtyard. " No way! Nickerater was killed! Blade neverously thought. When he reached it he saw Queen Sara. Nickerater was talking to her and then made a blast in his hand. Blade new he had to save her. Nickerater began to fly toward her ready to kill her. Blade ran as fast as he could to Sara and jumped in front of the blast. He fell to the floor barley alive. " Ha! I guess I should leave you to mourn over his pathetic life. But I will return." Nickerater said as he teleported. Then all the remaining goblins as well teleported away. Sara looked down at Blade. He was dead.
The funeral took place a week later. It was the most crowed in all of Arithia. Even more than the kings funeral 20 years ago. Zeke attended and was the most upset. He couldn't stay more the whole funeral. He climbed to the top of a building to look out upon Arithia. In the distance he saw two figures walking away from the kingdom. Then two more jumped out from the trees. One tall, one short. The figure next to the figure who first was there disappeared. Then there was an explosion.
That is the end of the first chapter of Blades history. I am the figure Zeke saw disappear. And that explosion was my friend who blasted the two boys who stopped are path. I am Joe Illusion. Or some call me God. Or Creator. Or Father of the universe. But my job is to keep the balance in this universe straight. My path has lead me to Earth. The planet my son created. Who has just killed the great Blade. But Blade is not finished yet. For later in time he will return. To serve a greater purpose in this world.
