The first chain broke that night….

I ran as far from the growing flames as I could. When I was first born, I used to like fire. The heat was comforting. It seemed to substitute the warm, tender care a mother would give me. Now it filled me with dread. I could only equate it now with the burning heat that seemed to fill me before…before it happened.

I hated that part of me. I don’t remember when I’d finally realized something was wrong with me - terribly wrong. At first Dr. Jerome had told me that was nonsense and that I was the perfect creation: his perfect creation. But he too came to agree with me. Not for the same reasons, of course. He couldn’t understand why I cried when dead bodies would appear beside me after I would wake from a sleep I couldn’t remember. He thought this would wear off after a while, but it didn’t. I only became more and more troubled by my strange circumstances. The cold, dark, damp place where he kept me did nothing to help this. Day and night meant nothing to me in that place. I can only imagine how long I spent there. I never dreamed of escaping. I think I’d resigned myself to a life forever trapped there. But I heard him in his lab one night…I heard what he planned to do with me. I wouldn’t accept it; I could never willingly become that. I don’t remember how I managed it, but I escaped that night. I wandered far and wide, cold and exhausted. I didn’t dare enter any civilized areas, but soon I couldn’t bear it any longer. I saw the lights of a town…this town. I don’t remember much after that, except when I awoke to the sound of a breaking chain in the middle of the flaming house, a body on the floor in front of me. My mind couldn’t grasp the reality, so I did the only thing my body could think of. I ran.

The town was quiet, but that wouldn’t last for long. I ran through the damp grass, the coldness of the air clearing my foggy mind. I could finally accept what had just happened. It filled me with horror and revulsion, but that dark corner of my mind reminded me that it wasn’t the first or the last time such a thing had happened. My hair billowed around me in the icy night air as I struggled to find a place – any place – away from there. Then I heard it clearly – a sound I’ll never forget. Though I look back on it now with happiness, at that moment it filled me with dread.

Pillar of the foundation, O Archduke of the Contract
Hear me in the name of the great sorcerers, the Archmagi Seven
Let thy body rest under my dominion, let my fate rest in thy blade.
If thou submittest to the call of the World and if thou wilt obey this mind, this reason, then thou shalt respond.
Make thine oath here.
You are the one who is to become the virtue of all Heavens.
You are the one who is to purge the evil of all Hades.
Thou seven heavens, clad in a trinity of words,
come past thy restraining rings, and be thou the hands that protect the balance.

It was 5 months ago when it happen. In that hill.

--------------------------------------------

"Gugh!!" I cant see anything, so why is it that i know whats happening. Why do I know that these things hitting my body are fists and feet?

Another hit to the gut, this time a kick. "Kah!!!" My body hurts, I cant move it, my bodies probably to beaten to do anything "Hmph. Seems he can't react anymore. Oh well I think its time to end this." There's a sound, I know this sound, a sword unsheathing.

My heart jumps. I deny whats coming next, for such thing cannot be accepted by me. Its so dark, if not for my heart racing I wouldn't know if i was dead or alive. Something boils in my chest. 'I can't die.' not until I have my revenge. My chest is about to burst, something boils inside of me, something hot, my throat is melting.

'....What is this?......' in the darkness a light appears, something bright is in front of me, I can't tell what it is, but.....What came after that was a nightmare.

Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger. Anger.

HATRED

What was in front of me was something I could not describe, something I could not rationalize. A sea of monsters was in front of me. I couldn't rationalize, in a place where fear should rule, anger took control. I couldn't understand it, but.....Destroying it was all that was allowed to me.

When I woke up, I was shocked with the scene before me. Where once was a wasteland, now was a sea of mutilated bodies and blood. I puked, in all my life of a mercenary I had never seen such brutal scene wordy only of the name of hell. That's when i noticed, next to me was a card. A strange looking card with a a figure of a beast in it. When I looked at it my heart jumped, the card looked so familiar, almost like I had seen it in a dream.

-------------------------------------------------

Rack walks towards the close town, his black cape flowing with the wind brought an interesting smell to his nose 'Smoke?' he continues to walk and as he enters the town through the north gate he notices a burning house and the people trying to put it out. It didn't surprise him one bit, he had seen things much more mind blowing. Still he noticed that the fire just didn't seem to be affected by the water.

Still it had nothing to do with him. Maybe if there was some job related to it he would look at it, but for now there's no reason to interfere. Ignoring the burning house he walks towards the local Inn/Bar.

Arriving at the Inn/Bar he quietly walks to the balcony and takes a seat. He orders a cup of liquor and right after the bartender gave him the liquor "Say you wouldn't know anything a mercenary could do here?" he asked the man, his skull mask and black cape probably had already told everyone that he wasn't a normal traveler.

[Bionsan]

It was morning. The sun was shining bright, making the hot ground even hotter. Two black figures could be vaguely seen. There was nothing blocking them but the intense temperature affected the air around them, making them blurry.
Two men, Gorudon and Shin, walking side by side, wearing black coats. Both of them, had white skin, from their appearance, they were definitely not locals. Suddenly, one of them stopped, Shin stopped.
"What happened, Shin-aniki?" Said the other man turning back to the man that stopped.
"Nothing. It's just... I have a weird feeling about this place. Too many strange events occurred." Said Shin. His left hand was playing with a card. The Saber Class Card.
"Your father sent us here. He said there would be a client looking to hire us. Don't worry, Aniki. I will protect you."
Shin laughed. "Yahahahaha! You? Protect me? I can take care of myself. It's I who will protect you, baka! Anyway let's go."
Shin put the card inside his pocket and dashed forward, Gorudon followed him from behind. Inside his mind, Shin recalled last night.

----
Knight of the Sword, Saber...
Awaken, and come forth to me!

Those words woke Shin from his peaceful sleep and a card was found in his left arm. A card with the picture of a armored knight, with a label 'Saber'

----

The two men arrived at the mining town, Arias. Shin noticed a man running away from the town, holding a pickaxe. "Excuse me! Where are you going?" He shouted and attempted to approach the terrified miner.

[Bl4ckwolf]

A dust coated, weary traveller wandered into the sunny town on the coast. A large black dog that stood a little bit over the height of his waist from her haunches to the ground, walked close to his side. The dog looked just as weary as her master as they walked through the center street oblivious to the world around them. “I’m hungry... and thirsty... and my feet hurt...” he complained to no one in particular, not that anyone would have been listening anyways. The dog just looked at him with a tilted look that suggested I’m not and mine don’t? The traveller reached into his pocket seeking his coin purse, as he pulled it out there wasn’t even the usual clink of coins associated with most people’s coin purses. “Empty...” he let out a great sigh, the problem with living town to town, you never really accumulate much in the way of wealth.

It was at this point in time when he was feeling down on his luck and most particularly sorry for himself, when he noticed a sign hanging from one of the building walls. A tournament! He rushed over to the wall ripping the poster out so that he might read it carefully. “Look Seda a tournament!” he exclaimed to his canine companion holding the poster in front of her face. The dog gave him a very reproachful look. The traveller drew backwards from her gaze his tone and posture becoming defensive “Don’t judge me... I’m hungry and if you haven’t figured it out yet I am not really the ‘stable’ job type.” His stomach chose that moment to accentuate his claims with a loud growl. Seda however would have none of it only shaking her canine head. “Look, I promise this is the last time the prize is a 1000 gold pieces, and have you ever seen me lose a fight? I know, I promised to give up needless violence, but right now we are in need, and I won’t hurt anybody badly.” Seda’s gaze however was implacable that is until her stomach growled. Without blinking an eye Seda turned her face from the traveller, if a dog could blush the traveller would swear Seda would be blushing right now. The traveller grinned and patted the dog on her head. “Trust me girl.”

As he searched the town for the arena, not that it was particularly hard, the arena being the biggest building in the whole of the town, not to mention the hordes of people flowing towards it. He pulled the strange card out of one his pockets. Eyeing it carefully, he still wasn’t quite certain about the whole thing. He knew what it did, but at the same time he was still confused as to the other 4 W’s. He placed the card back in his pocket as he and Seda arrived at the arena, looking about a bit he finally found a registration booth. “Kerric Ashguard. Here to sign up for the tournament!” he exclaimed happily slapping his hands on the desk.

Jorg:

The bartender sniffed disapprovingly at Rack as he placed the cup of liquor on the table.

"We don't hire mercenaries in this town," he said, turning away. "We're a respectable group of people."

He turned and marched back to the bar when a beautiful young woman with vivid red hair walked in and approached the bartender.

"Miss Godwin!" he said, surprised. "What brings you here?"

"Oh, the people are asking for more buckets of water," the young woman said carelessly. "They want you to get more from the well in the back. I keep trying to tell them that it won't do them any good, but who listens to me around here?"

The bartender sighed and shook his head, heading out the back of the tavern. The young woman turned and saw Rack sitting there, curiosity evident in the way she titled her head.

"You're not from around here," she said, smiling slyly as she walked over to his table. "Did you come to see the firey spectacle, or were you just misfortunate enough to pick this town to spend the night in?"

----------------

Bio:

The miner stopped, turning wildly to the two travelers who approached him.

"I went back to get my pick," the old man wimpered. "I spent a good deal of my pay on it. I didn't want to leave it. B-but they were right there! I just barely escaped with my life!"

He didn't seem eager to explain further, and ran away from the mine into the town. He passed through a group of men standing near the gate, talking in bitter tones.

"How am I supposed to feed my family like this?" a burly man told the others. "I have five mouths to feed!"

"And swinging a pick is all you have brains enough to do," one of the men guffawed loudly, earning a glare from the first man. They turned and saw the two travelers approach, openly suspicious.

"Oh good, more foreigners," the first man said, crossing his arms as Shin and his companion approached.

------------------

Black:

The man behind the booth laughed loudly and pushed a signup sheet to Kerric.

"Good luck, lad," he said, his nasty smile showing a mouth with a few teeth missing, "Ain't nobody gonna beat the current champion. I've never seen a man move like that."

"You can say that again!" a large woman replied, bustling by with a basket full of bread. "It's like the blessing of the Goddess is with him in that arena!"

"It should be," the man retorted as the woman hurried into the arena. "It's all the man's good for to us."

He snatched the clipboard from Kerric and waved a beefy arm toward the arena where more people were hurrying in, more specifically to the gated side entrance.

"I wish all the fights were at the big arena," a young man said, heading for the open main entrance. "It's so much more exciting there!"

"You know that's only reserved for him," the man beside him replied. "They can't move him or else 'e'd escape."

A man at the side entrance looked Kerric over before opening the door and ushering him into a small waiting room with the other competitors.

"They say he just sits there and stares off across the sea," one of them was saying. "I heard he came from the desert area."

[jorgiguel]

If not for his mask the bartender would have seen Rack looking at him with dead eyes 'Respectable huh?.....' Rack was doubting about that, he may be a respectable but its impossible not to be at least one person who needs a helping hand, for a price that is 'What ever'

Rack starts drinking his liquor, when he hears the bartender talking with a woman, out of curiosity he looks their way. He looks at the beautiful young woman, red hair and with a set of clothes, that seemed to be quite expensive to be a poor person 'Mid person.....no." he could tell just by looking, her pride was leaking all over the place. He could tell that she either had a high rank in this town or belonged to a rich family '....probably noble blood....'

He looks away and resumes to drink his liquor, but the woman asks him something, he looks at her for a few seconds, to see someone of her class to talk with a random person was quite rare, just the type of people he could work best for "Neither, I'm just a traveler looking for job, I suppose people call it mercenary."

But he doesnt stop, rich people always have something they need doing, bodyguard, delivery, servant, soldier, politics. There's so many things they are involved its hard not to find work when asking them "I can pretty much do anything, although my specialty is battle, I am also known with deliveries, housework, even cooking. Of course I'm not a slave so it comes with a price" he finishes his liquor

"But it seems this place is to respectable for a mercenary, so I guess I'll just be staying here for the night." Rack stands up "Yo old man. A single room for a night." he said placing some coins in the balcony.

[Bionsan]

"They? Who are they? What did they do to you, old man?" Before he could even finish his questions, the miner had already dashed off. Shin stared suspiciously the group of men the miner passed through. "They don't seem to be miners..." He thought, approaching them.
Gorudon placed his hands on his two blades and whispered to Shin "Aniki. They don't seem to be peaceful. Let me-"
"No." Shin interrupted him. "I can handle this. There's no need to be violent."
Shin placed his hand on his katana and glared at the men. "So... Gentlemen. Would you like to explain the situation here or I'm gonna... Force you explain it?

[Bl4ckwolf]

Kerric stretched, feigning indifference as he eavesdropped on all the conversation around him. Seems like this 'Champion' might be a tough contender. He thought silently to himself. A wicked gleam and a grin spread across his face as he waited for the tournament to begin. Guess I'll just have to show him something special. Kerric heard his name called, and he looked down at Seda. "Stay here, I will be right back." Seda's only response was to turn away from him and plop down in a sitting position. Kerric sighed god she had a personality on her. Suddenly his gaze became hard as he looked at all the waiting competitors. "Anybody touches this dog, and not only will she bite your hand off, I will come back and rip your throat out." The competitors chuckled nervously at the threat but kept a wide berth of the dog, something about Kerric's confidence was intimidating.

It wasn't much of a fight, not to say his competitor was terrible, but Kerric had been fighting all his life, he had engaged in so many different fights and styles of warfare that his opponent was just purely out classed. Kerric didn't even bother going into the arena with a weapon, just his bare fists quickly disarming his opposition and forcing him to yield, in a pretty embarrassing manner. When he walked back into the waiting area if the confidence had intimidated his other competitors, they were in awe and fear of his battle prowess. His next opponent was a little better wary after witnessing Kerrics first battle he used the range of his sword to keep him at bay. That didn't last long though when Kerric feinted left drawing his opponents sword away scooped up a handful of sand and threw it in his face. Kerric quickly snapped out a kick breaking his opponents knee and then punching him solidly in the face knocking him out cold. Seda was not impressed.

The fights pretty much went on like that and he quickly dispatched most of his opposition rising quickly within the tournament ranks, to the championship match. Seda was not happy however and refused to acknowledge him. "Look Girl, just one more fight and we can happily for a good long time." Seda however would have none of it and kept her face turned away from him. Kerric sighed deeply then quickly scooped the dog into his arms and hugged and petted her till she barked with pleasure and forgiveness. "There ya go girl, now your happy again." Seda just barked her approval. Before curling at his feet they both waited for the final battle to begin Kerric pulling out the card, if what he heard was true he might definitely have to use that

[Prisma*Illya]

Jorg:

"A traveler, huh?" the woman said, executing an elegant move that placed her between Rack and the stairs. "Tell me about it. You have no idea how dull it gets not being able to leave these walls."

Her blue eyes flashed in excitement. It was obvious that she had been cloistered against her will for a long time.

"Hey-" she began, but suddenly the bartender crossed the room to the door, where he conversed in hushed tones. She saw him look at her, and quickly grabbed Rack's hand.

"Meet me outside the mansion across from the burning house tonight. I have a job for you," she whispered. She let go and crossed over to the bartender, where another woman was visible. She had dark hair pulled back and a modest but elegant dress.

"Artemis! What on earth are you doing here. This isn't the type of place a young lady should be visiting," the woman said, obviously very distressed. Artemis crossed her arms and turned away.

"I was merely telling Borgen here that they wanted more water for the fire," she said, looking very cross with her mother. Her mother grabbed her arm and pulled at her from outside the doorway. It was obvious that she considered stepping into a tavern quite beyond the question.

"Come now! Right this instant! You are such a difficult child!"

"And you are a complete nuisance!" Artemis bellowed, ripping her arm out of her mother's grip and marching out of sight. The woman covered her heart with her hand, deeply distressed. The bartender said some comforting words, which she seemed to accept before leaving. The bartender turned back and gave Rack an disapproving look.

"Your room is waiting," he said, the indication not very subtle.

---------------

Bio:

"Force!" the first man bellowed. "How dare you! On what authority do you threaten us!"

"First we get driven from the mines by those contraptions, and now armed men are threatening us at our gates!" another man said, angrily gripping his pick. A plump, kindly looking woman came up and glared at the men.

"Complaining about the mines ain't gonna get anything done!" she said, waving her cooking pin in her hand. "If you ain't gonna mine you can at least help your wives around the house!"

She turned to Shin and his companion and put her hands on her hips.

"Are you ruffians looking for trouble or travelers looking for a place to stay? I can help you with either one," she said, looking feisty.

------------------

Black:

Kerric was led toward a passageway where a man stood inside a boat waiting for him.

"Have to ferry you out," he said. The arena is only accessible by water."

Once Kerric got in, he pushed the boat out of the tunnel. They emerged into glorious sunlight, and Kerric could see that they had emerged from underneath the stands where the audience roared with excitement. The stands formed a halfcircle, leading down to the water. Out in the water, many yards away, was a square platform made of gray and beige stone where a lone figure sat cross-legged with his back to the spectators.

"You'll have to swim from here," the man said, stopping several yards from the platform. "We don't get to close or he might escape."

The man didn't wait, but gave Kerric a shove with his oar, knocking him out of the boat before turning and paddling back. His strange competitor didn't seem to be paying much attention, perhaps meditating.
