A Fresh Start (2)

Waking up I found myself enveloped in darkness and in it, I felt comfort. It felt like being snuggled in the embrace of a blanket as comforting as it was I needed to find out exactly where I was. Time is a valuable thing sometimes you Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings. Luckily I was immortal, though time waited for nobody.

That was when I was hit with a mental message from "that man", "Mortal rejoice for I have gifted your knowledge on your powers, use it well. Make sure to check your void storage to see your weapons be wise only use it when necessary," The man stated before disappearing back to where ever he came from.

Picking myself up I touched my face to see that I had a moustache how nice I thought. Looking forward I saw a shimmering light its brightness drawing me in like a moth to a lamp. It too gave me comfort and pride? This power of mine was astonishing as when I came out I saw that I was towering over a group of humans who seemed frightened at my size and might. Looking at my body I was wearing armour that Escanour wore during the second Holy war.

Looking down on the humans they seemed to be wearing medieval clothing of a sort. One fashioned a robe coloured in dark blue silver golden trims at the bottom of his robe with a hood covering his face.

Accompanying him was a female brandishing silver armour. She had silverish blond hair, stunning some would say. But a face is only a face. Nothing more nothing less. On her waist held a long sword which quite frankly looked quite weird seeing a lady of that stature carrying quite the large sword near he waist. While I Stood at 12ft she dwarfed at the measly stature of 5,7ft while merlin stood quite taller at 6ft. The rest where knights clad in iron armour with red capes behind them.

"Ah, Uhm. Who are you to dare trespass on my, my land monster!" She beckoned drawing her sword to face me which impressed me as flawlessly pulled it out without struggling.

I only smiled and replied back, my back now full straight as I stood up completely up. "Monster? Please those beings are far below me. I am far more superior than beings that are of trash origin. You now stand before me Escanour the sin of pride and lord of the void." I declared my arms now crossed as I stood tall full of pride. Now looking back at them I bent my back lower now looking down on them again.

"So now I have introduced myself who are you to stand in my presence?" I questioned my aura causing them to step back and sweat from the heat radiating from me.

"I am Merlin I sensed a great power surge come from the cave when we came here we thought you were dragon it seems we were wrong but still truly we are still shocked what are you?" The Wizard named Merlin asked unfazed by my mighty appearance. He now took off his hood showing his beard. He looked to be in his forties just like me.

"I am of course human. It is just my power is unfathomable to the rest," I replied. Who knew my pride was this strong? Sometimes I don't even think when I speak I just say it casually without a thought. How neat. Merlin, though I thought I was going to join during the main continuity.

"Well since you know of me now it is only fit I introduce the rest of my companions. The female to my right is Alexandria the king of England. The knights at the back of are the knights of the crimson order." He introduced.

"King? Shouldn't it be queen? the title doesn't sit right, " I replied confused at the title.

"Yes, about that. Well during our conquest a sword was stuck into a stone. Only the true king of England would be able to pull it out. She was the only one and was proclaimed as the true king of England regardless of her gender," He replied back.

"Hmm, Yes quite a weapon you have there," I replied earning Alexandria a smirk before being blown away as a large weapon fell straight in front of her.

"But is nothing compared to mine," I replied gripping the handle of Rhitta as I swing it behind my back casually.

"Now that we have formally introduced ourselves what is that you plan to do now," I replied as I stood their magnetically my blond hair facing the full force of the wind as it breezed through my hair and moustache.

"Well it depends where you stand," Melin responded as his hands glowed dark blue with his beard blew along with the wind his eyes now staring fiercely staring at me. Alexandria now noticing the tense atmosphere prepared herself her body now in battle position as her sword pointed towards me along with the other knights.

"Fighting beings below me is a disgrace to my pride. Do not dare aim your blade to me." I replied coming close to them which alarmed them as I casually walked up with no fear or hesitation but indifference.

"Know that your lives have been spared for I do not see knights or wizards but weaklings in front of me know your place," I demanded causing my aura to explode pushing the knights down feeling their armour boil with Merlin trying to cool the area with his magic and Alexandria blitzing towards me as I stood there looking down at he indifference.

Using her swordsmanship she kept striking me with her blade aiming towards slashing my armour. Seeing her struggle to do any damage I continued to look down at her as I waited for her to finish her assault. Now finally down to her last breath she drew desperate and struck my face trying to pierce it thinking it just my armour protecting me. The horror on her face as the blade just stood there like a knife to concrete wall shook her as it absolutely did nothing to me.

"While your swordsmanship and blade are quite amazing to some. Compared to me. It means nothing," I replied as I flicked her in the head causing her to be pushed back onto the ground knocked out.

Merlin now agitated lifted his staff and struck it down causing mass sigils/pentagons to appear near the floor before a larger one appeared in front of him. Flames erupted from the ground before a demon pulled itself up.

"To battle Etrigan!" Merlin commanded to the demon who seemed agitated at the mere presence of Merlin.

"What do you want you, damned wizard, why is there a blistered blizzard?" The Demon Etrigan rhymed. Which was quite amusing, to say the least.

"Defeat the man before you and I will consider your release!" Merlin replied.

"If winning shall be proved then this obstacle shall be removed!" The Demon once again rhymed before charging towards me. Looking towards the sun It was noon as the sun directly laid straight in the sky.

"Know before you draw an attack I will allow you to attack me once and once only ," I replied straightening my back and lowering my weapon to my knee allowing my self a full opening of attacks. I guess my pride also made me a bit stupid or something.

"You're Pride shall be your undoing, yet your strength is nothing who are you fooling?" Etrigan replied as he brandished his blade.

Standing there he instantly appeared before me and stabbed directly to my heart the flames of his blade flickering violently. Yet it pierced nothing as I stood there unfazed. Now towering over him I stood at 30ft my body filled to the brim of power as my hair blistered into flames my eyes now glowing with a crimson red-emitting fire of pure divine.

"Is that all?" I smirked devilishly as I lifted my axe above my head in a striking position similar to cutting a log of wood. He stood there shocked at the fact that the human in front of him took his attack like nothing.

"While I commend you on your effort... It was all for naught," I smiled gleefully before striking down on Etrigan evaporating the area surrounding Etrigan sending him back to the underworld. Looking around I found that I was now in creator with the mountain cave I was just in obliterated. Soon though my power slowly diminished. Now finished with our battle I chucked Rhitta back into the void. The flames had now diminished and my hair had returned back to normal.

Looking off into the distance I saw a Merlin and the knights of the crimson order off in the distance recovering from my slaughter against Etrigan I then slowly walked towards them when they started to panic frantically as the soldiers tried to back away while Merlin stood their fiercely awaiting me to pounce and kill them.

"Why are you still trying to attack me? It is beneath me to attack those who are defenceless," I stated before sitting down.

"You attacked us and nearly killed me and my men along with Alexandria!" He argued.

"Who struck who first?" I replied crossing my hands. Rethinking back to what happened he realized it was them who struck first though he seemed to argue first.

"Of course we did you were coming closer to us when your aura nearly started to burn us, you damn buffoon!" He cursed towards me.

"Burn you? It seems my presence alone caused you to be frightened do not worry I understand your frustration as I know I am truly powerful that even a glimpse of my power was pouring out. It has been a long time since I have to meet beings of a lower level," I replied without a glint of hesitation.

"You are one prideful person though it is lucky I know a certain dragon just like you. It seems we have come to an agreement that it was a misunderstanding?" He asked still tensing as the power prowess I had shown was astonishing.

"Of course," I replied with a smile.

"Now do you know where the nearest town is? I would like to fetch myself a meal" I requested.

"Hmph, let me take out my map." He replied looking over his map before skimming his finger along with it before landing on a location.

"Yes just head north just there and you will reach a town and if you can please try to not attack anyone with you aura it's quite overbearing," He pleaded before going to his knights who seemed all exhausted.

Turning my back I started my journey towards where ever I was going and so my journey started with a bang!
