Chapter 1 The war of Wasis
Once upon a time in the earth. When mankind was young and naïve of much. An ancient evil was sown in the world and began to reign unchecked.
Mankind was on the course of destruction, seemingly by its own hand. But all who were wise and perceptive were aware of the presence of the invisible darkness that was turning the fates of men into a life of hell on Earth.
These were the times when the people desperately needed a savior. And the spirits did not deny them... These were the times of the birthing of the first great heroes.
Not many know how they came about. Whether they were formed or whether they were trained into what they were. But it is an undeniable fact that they did exist and that they did great things for the sake of life and for humanity.
This is the story of Nimrod. A seemingly regular boy who grew to become something so mighty that men dared to call him a god.
But for any great hero to be made, there has to be a great villain.
Tales of old tell of a warrior who fought and conquered lands in the East. He and his band of fighters raided villages, killing the unprepared men and taking their wives, cattle and sheep and farms and lands and houses. His name was Thorne and he was a vicious man, consumed with a deeply seated evil anger.
It is said that one day, Thorne and his band of invaders attacked an island settlement called Wasis, with a mission to lay waste to it, marking it with their footsteps of destruction.
But that day, they were met with resistance so strong that Thorne was wounded terribly and his brother and right hand man, Axel was killed by Andrew, ruler of Wasis. Thorne is said to have been so enraged that he ordered Baris his most vicious fighter to strike down men who cowered before Andrew and the men of Wasis. He demanded that they continued fighting despite the unexpected setbacks. He also promised the hand of the most beautiful lady of Wasis to the man who killed Andrew.
All of Thorne's men received new fire and fought harder than they ever had to. And Bravin, one of Thorne's best fighters was able to kill Andrew.
The victory had been won, but at a such a great price.
Thorne announced from his sick bed that he and his men would be staying back at Wasis indefinitely, and that it would be their new home until they had recovered fully and could go on raiding.
Thorne asked for the family of Andrew, and his wife and young son were produced.
Though she was crying profusely and in much devastation, Thorne still couldn't help but notice that the woman before him was of a beauty singular in nature. She was not just the most beautiful of all the women of Wasis arrayed before the soldiers. She was the most beautiful woman he had seen in all his travels and conquests.
Thorne immediately rescinded his promise to the man who killed Andrew. No, he had to have this wonderful beauty to himself. Like he had to have the beautiful, fruitful land of Wasis to himself.
He announced himself new king of Wasis and proclaimed that the wife of Andrew would be his wife.
He ordered Baris to take the son of Andrew for safe keeping to ensure that Janice, wife of Andrew cooperated with him. She would live with him and be his nurse until his coronation and subsequent wedding to her.
The second most beautiful damsel in the land was Julliet, Janice's sister. She, Thorne gave in marriage to Bravin.
Within a short while, Wasis was renamed The city of Thorne. And the city began to plunge into a darkness they had not known since the time of the first settlers.
