In Dragopia…
Marvon did what Lord Bloodfang ordered him to do. Thus his most loyal and powerful servants made sure not to be late to their master’s calling.
Lord Bloodfang was on his throne, his knuckles rested against his cheek. Queen Katelyn was resting on his lap, her arms wrapped around her lover’s neck. It seemed to be like her trend thing, always being in that position every time she was with him in that Throne room.
Marvon walked towards Lord Bloodfang, with his servants behind him, crossing his arm against his chest, he slightly bowed down. “As you have asked my Lord.” He said. “Your servants have hed your call.” He turns around, his hands presenting in fluid motion the standing group that was his servants.
Lord Bloodfang nods his head slowly. “Indeed.” He remarks as, Janus, Lee, Xaio, and Marvon all kneeled down before Bloodfang.
They said in sync. “We live to serve you, Lord Bloodfang.”
Their Overlord rose his hand. “Please, stand.” He told them and they do as they have been told to.
Xaio stepped forward suddenly. “My Lord, forgive me for my ignorance. But what was your reasoning, that you requested our presence here in this room?” He asked.
Bloodfang slightly grins. “It has come to my attention that while the Kingdoms themselves don’t pose to us a threat…” He began." …a group of individuals, that have a clear goal, to collect all of the World’s Artifacts, certainly do."
“Artifacts…?” Lee asked, his head slightly raising as he glanced at Bloodfang, feeling riddled.
“There shining things that can tip the balance of scale in everyone’s favor, if they so chose to,” Janus said, taking a look at his friend lee.
“How many are there to be exact?” Lee asked.
Marvon grinned, his pale white teeth shined through his grin. “Seven to be exact.” He said. “The first one is Dragopia’s Sunlight Blade, a powerful sword that can control the thermal energy of the sun. And use it for incomprehensible means.”
“Such as rendering the defenses of Cloudia, futile,” Xaio adds.
“Precisely.” Marvon agrees. “Then we have the Starwalker Tribe’s Thunderstorm Bow, which grants the user weather manipulative abilities.” He said. “After that, there is the Warhammer weapon from the ancient Dwarf Times, it first being wielded by King Boros.” He declares.
“Fourthly, Tiara’s Shield, the one I and Lord Bloodfang have in our possession,” Xaio said. “The legend says that Tiara’s Shield is an indestructible shield and nothing in the world can penetrate it or destroy it. While also having the ability to create shields of energy in any shape the user can think of. To be blunt, its only limit is the user’s imagination.”
“There are also two incredibly hard ones to get, the Pelt of Strength that is currently in King Versing’s possession. It grants the user superhuman strength, but the catch is the more you use it. You’ll get insane.” Bloodfang said. “Then, the Gate, a cursed artifact, something not me or the individualist can get.”
“Where is it?” Janus asked.
Marvon smirked as Bloodfang glanced at him. “In the so-called land of the Forbidden.”
“What are we going to do with it?” Lee asked, looking at Lord Bloodfang.
“Most likely destroy it,” Bloodfang said, dropping his hand on the pedestal.
“Last but not least. The so-called Sword that can rival the Sunlight Blade, Calibur. Origin has it that was made the same way as the Sunlight Blade, almost being Twin Swords so to speak, but the Calibur can only be earned if Ippotismos’ greatest Swordsman is defeated.” Katelyn said.
“Who may that be?” Janus crossed his arms.
Suddenly there was a silence, both Bloodfang and Marvon grinned as if they had all of the cards to an unknown game to the others.
“I shall entrust this one to you, Lord Bloodfang.” Marvon bowed down.
“He is the so-called Dual Wielding, Swordsman, also known as, Will the Black Raven,” Bloodfang said, even though everyone in that room except for Marvon and Bloodfang, felt like the name was mysterious and in a way ominous.
“The Black Raven…” Xaio muttered. “I’ve heard of the Raven name before…isn’t it a creed?” He asked.
“Indeed it is,” Marvon said. “They are called the Ravens, they are swordsmen with a simple moral code and a straight forward creed. They are the most formidable sword dualists. One of them can take a group of one hundred knights at most.”
“The Black Raven is a myth, it says in their scriptures that if a Swordsman takes on a Dragon alone and kills it, they are either a descended of the first original, Black Raven or they have been chosen by his eternal spirit,” Bloodfang said.
“So what does this all mean?” Lee asked, looking for a conclusion.
“It means that not even the individualists themselves will have an advantage with Calibur, because one of them, has to defeat Will in a fair dual,” Katelyn said.
Lee smirked. “I suppose we’ll have to get there first.”
“And we shall.” Bloodfang declared. “Hear me.” He called. “The world is a large place, there are only seven known artifacts, but that doesn’t mean we should know what to expect. Because, there might be other legendary items or artifacts we have not yet discovered, so keep your eyes sharp and be on your guards. Because I will not tolerate failure, these people are trying to hurt us, to kill us. Let us not give them an advantage over us, let us show them their rightful place. Show them, why we know no defeat!!”
They all nod to Bloodfang.
“Your bidding is our command, Lord Bloodfang.” Xaio kneeled down as so did the rest.
Lord Bloodfang chuckled for a moment. “Very well, let the hunt begin.!” His cyan eyes began to emit a glow to them as he smirked.
