he countinued walking with her telling her everything in detail what he remembered and told her his storey of escapeing and paused once in awhile to look at the senrey of the land around him finding it intresting but it wasent home

Rune and Silvian were talking along with Ryu, When Shara and Aturok had caught up with them. Silvian paused and stared back at Shara. "It is nice to see you again after so many years Silvian.." Silvian was lost with words. They were child hood friends before she left and became a guardian. It had been a very long time. "We have alot to catch up on old friend, but for now, we need to all go to the Force Point temple. You too Rune.. Never-mind Dameon and Kon. I could also use your input human. I am aware your one of the last of the surviving Ancients, It would be a honor for you to come with." Shara bowed. "I am not sure exactly what there is for me to add for input but we shall let the gods see." Ryu too bowed and chose to come along. At last they were now heading off to the temple.

Aturok followed listening to them

Two hundred years ago

Max was having a bad day…I mean a really bad day. He had recently stolen a horse from a guard that had been pursuing him, knocking the man right off of his saddle and rideing off like nothing happened. That was bad for as soon as the young boy got ten yards away from the guard, something in the back saddle went off like a candle and propelled max dead center into a tree, knocking him unconscious. He then woke up bound and tied to the back if a horses saddle, it hadn’t been a pretty sight. Max looked at the ground he was being dragged on, a shadow had clearly been cast onto the ground from the smoldering sun. Max thought well and hard about this. He was under suspicion for the murder of count Vlad, a high official with powerful connections. None max would now about. But while being dragged from the behind of a horse Max took into all accounts of escape…the only way being a quick and sussiful shadow jump. So without thinking, he descended into the shadow…but something unexpected happened, the guard followed too. Max who was expecting a short and easy escape was now staring into a deep dark black and purple pit. The sounds of banshees carried on the deathly silent wind.

Max stood there unaware of the guard sneaking up behind him, marveling at the terrifying scene that beseeched his mind. “The fabled shadow realm” Max said, mouth open in a gasp. Just then a man shouted a battle cry, Max turned around seeing the guard in a terrifying elegancy, as he brought down the silver long sword that was to be used in his execution. Max closed his eyes and whispered a prayer to himself…but the blow never came. Max opened his eyes. The guard’s face was ghost white, his face was that of a ghost, terrifying or terrified. But what caught max’s attention was the black energy that had pierced the guard’s chest. It extended from his hands to and through the guard, sucking the remanding energy from him like a vampire. Then the world went white.



Present time

A black portal appeared right in front of silvian and rune. The sound of the undead could be heard and felt from the portal, and almost as if it where throwing something up Max was shot out of the portal and back into the world of the living.

Max looked up at silvian and run, the young teen resembled no threat, perhaps no identification of the battle that he had just gone through. But one thing was certain…he was at the merci of the group for his energy had been depleted, and he only hoped that they where not bandits.

Before Silvian and Rune could even make a comment about what the hell just happened? There was the sound of horns being blown, coming from the direction of the Temple which signaled something serous. Shara heard and had quickly took off almost practically running on fours and she stopped for a moment to talk to Dameon and Kon who were the ones with eh horns, and with a horrified look upon her she ran to the temple door and at the door way of the temple she stopped and quickly turned back to the bushes. All you could hear from her is heavy breathing and choking sounds fallowed by vomit. Once Silvian, Rune, and the others had caught up Silvian asked what was going on. "The temple... its.... you will see..." Dameon said very urgently, but too looked as though he seen something horrifying. He was very shaken up as well as Kon. There inside the temple, was all of the remaining guardians. They looked as though they had been there for at least a days time, but they were mutilated and disfigured bodies, blood, guts, and insides ripped apart from there body and splatted everywhere. On the wall of the temple written in the blood of the fallen Guardians was words that read "The families of five will fall by the hands of the ultimate sinners." And "What once came from the heavens shall return to the heavens" as well as "Those of the Ultimate Sin shall be punished." Rune who caught only a glimpse of the inside of the temple already saw enough that made him run over to were Shara was to throw up. "Who... what... could do this?" Silvian asked, but he could tell that not even Dameon or Kon knew. Judging by the time frame it could have happened during the time of Deamarias disappearance. Taking a closer examination, the walls were damaged as well as damaged and broken weapons. It was more then just a slaughtered but they had fought something... but... what ever it was they had fought, it seemed to have ripped there bodies apart, and seemed unaffected by there power over the elements. What could have such a power... and if it was a who, then Who could do such a horrible thing, Killing them was one thing but, mutilated, discrete, and ripped there bodies apart? It was the single most horrifying thing that Silvian and the others had ever witnessed.

Aturok walkedinto the temple he felt like throwing up but everytime he cae colse he couodent he didnt dare venture any further inside the temple as he let the others do the investigating

Max saw his opportunity of escape and took it almost immediately. Seeing how the tiger…thing was morning something he didn’t even look to see what max was up to. Max took off to the temple but was power struck whenever a huge blast of dark energy crept into his human skin. It was such a over whelming feeling that it drove Max to his knees. Max looked up to see what great misfortune had befallen those in the temple…it was disturbing.

Max cuffed his two hands into a prayer and prayed for the fallen to have a good afterlife. Max didn’t even noticed aturok standing next to him…nor did he care. “ an overwhelming since of dark energy…something unnatural had happened…perhaps the demons of old have returned…the lord preserve me.” Max stumbled back to his feet, his face ghost white, a sickening feeling clutched his stomach as Max held the urge to puck.

Max what have I gotten into…Max thought to himself. Surly there was a reason why he was teleported to this place…it looked nothing like Fa’rune. Max stumbled behind one of the bushes…he could barely contain it as he vomited. “ the hell is wrong with me…” Max mumbled, his head throbbing.

That night, Rune helped Damion and Kon clean the temple, and create a large bonfire to burn the bodies. That same night Damion took off, alone with out saying a word. Kon tried to fallow, but Dameon turned around and scolded him to leave him the hell alone. And then left. Dameon was now sitting underneath tree, were he hat created his own fire, that was next to Deamaria. This was were he wanted to be, alone. "Dora..." Dameon sighed to him self. Despite the angery and tought side of Dameon, he chose to be alone, so he could shed his tears. The reason for his anger, and they way he acted, was because, if Deamaria was gone... so was Dora... His sister.. the very reason he became a Gaurdian.

Aturok went and sat outside the templedoor that night and looked up at the night sky and sighed as the orange glow of the bonfire hit him he watched the bodies burn as the smell of the fleash filled the air never before had he smelled so much death before

Max helped carry in wood, even if they gave looks at the human who was helping him, they could clearly see the tears on his face, as they slowly made there way down his robe. They couldn’t look at Max’s face for he had pulled up his hood. Max mourned the dead guardians… somebody or something bumped into Max, and in the angriest way a human could retaliate he blasted the thing into a tree, his elemental power; the shadow, was something completely new to him. His face turned white and as quikly as he had blasted the thing, Max took off to the temple jumping up to the top so he could think in silence.

“Are the god’s mad at me?” Max asked himself looking at his hands; the residue of the shadow energy still accumulated everywhere. “I am in a strange land, with even stranger creatures…what the hell am I?” Max looked up at the moon as if the only that could answer him.

There was the sound of screaming and horse trampling in a distance. Silvians ear perked up, as well did Shara's, Kon, and Rune's.

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

"Maybe Ill get the answer out of you boy!" A soldier grabbed hold of a young dark haired man who was badly beaten and then through him on the ground and and kicked him. A dark haired woman tried to run to him, but she was held back by two other soldiers who one decided to lick her, and the other tried to make moves on her. The dark haired man who was being beaten was her brother. "I.. would never tell you.. Leave Kaylay alone..." The man said but was kicked over and over, before two more soldiers finally grabbed him held him against a tree ripped his tunic raveling his back and handed the Main soldier who was torturing him a whip.

Aturok looked over at them then off into the distance and climed to his feet hearing the scream and started running as fast as he could towards it not looking back to see if the otheres followed but figured they would

"Please don't hurt him any more.. Kevin!" Kaylay cried out when the leading soldier whipped her brother and he screamed each time the soldier did it. Then she would scream each time the other soldiers kept fondling her, and there was no doubt in her mind she was going to get raped.

Silvian quickly told every one else to stay there, he was going to go after Aturok and check out what was going on. There was no need for them all to go. And he quickly ran through the forest till he caught up to Aturok . When they got to were the soldiers were he quickly hid into some bushes so he could examine the situation.

"All I want to know boy is were is the secret tunnel... You tell me and I will make sure that my soldiers will not harm a pretty little hair on her pretty little head." The Leading Soldier said to keven, who was now sitting covered in blood badly beaten against a tree. "Go to hell..." He spat on solider, who then whipped out a dagger and plunged it into Kevens chest and quickly ripped it out as keven fell forward coughing and choking on his blood. "NOOO..*Sob* Keven!!!" Kaylay cried watching her brother now dead.

Aturok looked over at Silvian unsure what to do and whispered to him "what do we do?...do we help?" he looked back at the soldiers he already knew he was going to help wether silvain okayed it or not as he watched the soldiers looking at them with disgust he wanted to kill them least the mighty beasts they hunted at home died with honor but these humans tortureing thier own kind he started to growl lowly

Kaylay began to cry as she was forced onto the ground. "Lets see who man rounds you can go before you finally tell us..Then again maybe you will like it." The Leader said who was more then happy then to rape her. At that moment Silvian didn't need to give a answer. he quickly lunged out at the soldiers. Suddenly he had swords swinging at him. Silvian managed to duck doing spin kicks on the ground tripping some of the soliders, and then grabbing one of there swords, leaping up swinging it at more soldiers that came at him, the blade swung clinking against the soldeirs armor, were Silvian then thrusted the blade at exposed throats and managed to get multiple in one blow. These soldiers were nothing. compared to Deamarian taught battle training. Other soliders were running for Ociri with there weapons, The leader held Kaylay by the hair with blade up to her throat. But there was a hint in the mans eyes that he had no intention on killing her. There was another reason why they wanted her. A reason that she didn't even know about yet. "Come no closer or ill kill her!" He yelled. Kaylay had a look of terror in her eyes, there was something strange about her eyes, they were in full fear, but at same time focused in a way, that when Silvian or Ociri looked into the, they could tell that she could see them.. as they truly were some how.

Aturok lunged out of the bushes with speed as a solid ice spear appeared in his hands as he sliced through the soldiers one of the soldiers came up attempting to grab him as the soldiers arm froze solid then suddenly heard the mans voice seeing the man holding the blade to her neck he looked at the one soldier panicking seeing his arm a frozen brick as he looked over at silvian he quickly throught what he could possibly do finally he had a idea he wasnt sure if it was such a good one but he didnt dare wait he slowly concentrated and let his hands hang as the stones tied to his hand slowly sent cool air towards them and started to freeze Kaylays neck leaveing a small layer of ice that the blade couldent touch but she was unable to breathand he shouted "Silvian get her now!!"

Silvian lunged at the leader who let go of Kaylay, and quickly stabbed the dagger into Silvians Chest. Silvian growled in pain, ripped out the dagger and through it then grabbed him by the neck growling. At that moment he could see what Silvian looked like, "A Leopard Man." "What.. what the hell are you? Demon..." He said in fear and choked as Silvian did have him by the neck. "Not a demon... a Daemon... completely different.." Silvian then through the man over onto the ground, as he got up looked at both him and Ociri and then quickly got onto his horse and took off. Kaylay was kneeled down by the tree shaking and covering her self with her arms and hands in air. "Please.. don't kill me..." She cried.

Aturok looked around at the bodies of the dead soldiers then looked over to Kaylay and walked over to her keeping his distance and made himself loo less threatening as the ice spear shattered and fell to the ground he took off his cloak and tossed it at her "you dont need to fear us we are not going to hurt you..."

"We won't put any harm on you.. trust us.. we came to help you.." Silvian explained. Kaylay covered her self with the cloak and moved scrawling sideways to slowly get away from them, and then went to her brother quickly who was dead. She cried, but then managed to pull out her brothers dagger off his belt and pointed it at both Aturok and Silvian. She was not sure if she could trust them. She knew they had saved her life, but even with there illusion she could see past that some how. To her she saw a Leopard and a Jackle that stood on twos like humans, who could even speak her language. They were not normal to her and she feared them as demons.

Aturok shook his head "are all humans like this?" he said looking over at Silvian and then back at Kaylay "im going to make sure there are no more.." he got up and walked off towards the distance

"Begone..." Silvian grumbled and fallowed Aturok. He was not sure what to think of humans just yet. Aside from the soldiers Kaylay and Old Man Ryu were the only humans he has ever encounters so far. As expected Kaylay ran off into the woods, god knows were.

abit later after seein the area clear Aturok turned and started heading back til he seen Silvian and walked over to a tree and climbed up he was up high enough that he seen the temple as he sat there watching Silvian go back

Kaylay ran to a village, her village, and she screamed and cried as she fell to ground and terrified. People ran to her. She began telling them about the soldiers, her brother, and beasts she had seen.

Silvian now had gotten back to the temple were every one was waiting. He looked a bit lit down though. It was how the woman Kaylay had looked at him and Aturok. She was terrified and viewed them as monsters. Despite the attempt to simply help.

he seen something off in the distanc as he followed gotcloser realizing it was stil kaylay as he followed her a decent ways til she ran into what looked like a human village he crouched down observing the people he stayed thier for some time observing how they reactied he never seen thm before and was curious as h wathed them react with care towads her

They brought Kaylay into a house to help comfort her. Wasn't long till Kaylay was now sitting out side looking at the stars crying for her brother but also crying about something else so sad. She pulled revealed a object. She was wearing a necklace that was hidden under her dress, and was now danging from her hands. Handing from the necklace was a Orange colored crystal with a emblem engraved into it. From afar it was impossible to see the details but if close enough it was Ancient Daemarian writing.
