the magic has and gone, and the Earth life force is dieing turning our home into a stark planet filled with the ruins of those who came before. The few the casters, Hunters, Paladin and among the worst are the users of blood magic. all blood casters were banished to the dark woods where they struggle to find food to eat and fresh water to drink. I'm a caster the ones who are alone, moving like a nomad across the wasteland. One day you encounter a large building, and though the doors were rusted shut it is not sturdy enough to withstand a battering ram. You enter, and it is empty but for some old boxes. Curious, you go over and open each box, finding them full of body s. You wonder what had happened to all of these people, and where had they all gone? Your mind wanders, trying not to think about how little meat there is in your own body.
Suddenly, you hear a strange sound that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Looking around you see nothing, then as you turn back towards the entrance, something grabs your ankle. Pulling your leg free you turn round and face whatever or whoever it was. Standing on its hind legs, it’s face appears to be humanoid goat except for its hands. You look at it with wide eyes, “Hello there." A dark and Grimm voice ring You look at it with wide eyes, frozen in fear.you try to scream but no sound comes out of your throat as your foot is suddenly pulled further down into the pit. You can see the floor disappear under your feet as you fall deeper still, darkness surrounding you until all you can see are glowing red eyes and black smoke. The creature laughs as you drop like a stone down into the abyss below.
When i woke up surrounded by flames and screaming. Someone’s trying to grab hold of my body as they cry for help but before anything more than air reaches you, you’re gone. time to end your story little one the voice called out to me just remember you cant come back is at when you go down there. the fire around your body turns white hot and burns through you leaving nothing but ash behind. the voice whispers I will find you and I swear I will kill you if you try my patience again.
the memory fades to static. you can still feel the flames burning your skin but i ignore it as i stared at my hands. my arms and face are covered in burns and bruises. i can barely move let alone stand, and yet somehow I'm able to force myself up. pushing off of the wall i collapse onto my knees. head falls forward and as i close my eyes tight and wait for the pain to end. was that blood magic I thought as I took my last breath
Chapter 2
This wasn't happening this couldn't be real.
There's no way i could possibly die right?
No. It can't end like this.. not after everything i've gone through to get here
to finely find the one just to die!!
I am going to make sure that bastard pays for this!
But...how could i find him?? There's no trace of his magic so i cant use mine
but i don't even know where the hell he went!!
i dont have a lot of time to figure out what to do. After all I'm not the only person hunting the great demon of North.
The sun was high up in the sky now, casting an eerie blue glow on the landscape. I knew it was going to be cold tonight, so I wrapped my coat tight around me as i walked down the path leading from the place i call home.
Every once in awhile i'd pause and look back I could feel someone or something watching me. Like someone was walking behind me, and every time i would whirl round searching the woods frantically looking for whoever it might be.there would be no one the forest is a dangerous, darkplace, filled with monsters taller than me. trees grow up into the sky. Some are massive, towering so far that it's impossible to tell which direction their roots lie underneath. witch could kill me If i don't look where I'm going. the tree roots like to come out of the ground and grab your feet and pull you under so deep that your lungs would fill with dirt and burst you.
The forest always gives me a creepy feeling.
It's been weeks since i died.
Since the night she led me to the great demon of the North who lived in the cave. He was there alright. And yet... i kept hearing her voices screaming in my head. the demon used her to get me and then exposed of her when he was done. in the most horrible way. what did I expect he's one of the most powerful magic welders in the world. I'm on my way to a place where I can harness my magic abilities again. it'll be worth it to see the big bad demon again, and take revenge for the death of my people. I'm getting stronger and smarter with every passing day. I'll defeat him and show him what happens to people who mess with casters!
Just thinking about it pisses me off! he's just a filthy Hunter who uses magic to destroy lives and steal their energy to power his stupid magic. I hope he dies horribly! If i had it my way he wouldn't last much longer anyway.
As i continued onwards i saw something odd. A oldman with shaggy black hair was running alongside me. where did he come from and who in their right mind would go running in these Woods. I thought to myself the man looked transparent as if he was a shadow. he ran past me with such ease that his shoes made no noise. I stopped to watch in amazement for a second. he seemed to sense my gaze and turned around. he looked directly at me as his eyes turned blood red he slowly pointed towards me. and spoke the words hold person Green Smoke shot from his finger and hit the ground around me. then out of know where the tree roots came to life grabbing my arms in the leg. who is this guy and where did he come from I think myself as I pull my arm free from the branches. I open my palm and yell sunburst a bright light as strong as the sun erupted from my hands destroying the roots and branches. it sends the man flying back slamming into a tree his face met the ground. the tree started to break apart as the man struggled to rise up, his clothes stained with blood and dirt. he coughed violently as he stood himself up.
"you..ar..are wee.. weeek yo.... Are never going to make okay?" and what makes you think the old man is still alive the wise one of the mountain top what a joke he laughed. I'll show you power he said then through both his hands up the ground rose up a small boulder the size of a house. I quickly back fliped out of the way before the rock could strike me i heard a cry.
"get away!"
Turning I found a beautiful girl sitting on the top of a tree branch, her sword drawn ready to defend herself. the old man chuckled as she swung the blade down at him.
"oh dear child, i'm afraid i cannot allow that." he said as he raised his hand and the girl was thrown backwards. she landed hard on the ground, her sword clattering to the ground beside her. the old man stood above her, his hand outstretched. before he got another word out I lifted four fingers. with all the energy and strength I had left I muttered scorching Ray for fireball shot from my fingertips hitting the old man square between the eyes. he stumbled back falling to the ground unconscious. I dropped to my knee next to the girl and checked her breathing. she was okay but she was bleeding from cuts everywhere on her body.
"who are yer..yo...yo?" i asked in between gasps of air. "i'm the princess," she told me, "and i'm gonna bring an end to your life." and with those words she pulled a golden coin out of her cloak pocket. she flipped it and i watched in horror as my name was etched into it.
"what the fuck is this!" i cried, "this isn't possible. why would anybody want to kill me?!" i was in shock, not believing that someone would actually pay for killing me. the young princess stood up, holding the sword firmly in her hands, "i'm one of the last of my kind". what kind of magic was this I could smell nasty foul like rotted meat. I pause and only the only words that could escape my lips blood magic. she started laughing thenblood started running from her her eyes she pointed in said "fear" a spell that allows a spellcaster to turn any creature with blood into a combat-puppet against their will. I heard a loud screeching roar I looked up as a tree was thrown over my head. what kind beast did her blood magic take over? the tree crashed down, almost crushing me to pieces.
I quickly crawled away as the beast roared. I heard her laugh and say remember i need his heart. laughed as she flipped the coin I felt anger rush through my veins as i tried desperately to climb out of reach.
"come and get it!" I'll be leaving with your head as a trophy I yelled from the top of the tree I can't believe she summoned an owl bear of all things to attack me.
