1 THE DARK WOLF

I never asked to be born as a member of the Royal family, but I was. I never wanted my family and kingdom to be massacred, but they were. In the ruins of a fallen kingdom I stood crying, as I saw the dead bodies of my family.

A five year old crying for the loss of his own family. Crying because he couldn't save a single one of them. Crying because the pain felt like his whole body was being ripped apart from the inside. And crying because he had no one to turn to to comfort him.

"MAMMA!"

At that time I didn't understand why they were exterminated. Why they even went as far as to massacred the citizens of the Laratic Empire, but I did know one thing,that I was the sole survivor of a tragic.

The people who attacked didn't even bother to confirm the deaths and fled from the scenes that they caused. Afraid that they would return, I to fled in the opposite direction.

I am the son of King Roland Nichols Larcarus. Son of Queen Margret Voltrian Larcarus, and brother to Princess Mina Voltrian Larcarus. I am Prince Dominic Nichols Voltrian Larcarus.

We, rather I now, am the only ones within the world to have the attribution of dark magic. As a member of the Laratic kingdom I have the mark of L with three red crowns and a Black dragon on my left hand. The family crest. And on my other hand I have a lightning streak with a bird. The Voltrian Royal family crest.

I am a prince in both kingdoms as well as a heir to both. I only have one family left in this world. And that is the Voltrian Family. I will avenge my birth Kingdom but I need to become stronger then anyone else.

I will avenge my family and kingdom, and for those who pose a threat I will kill.

"Until we meet again please watch over me my beloved family."

Over these years struggling to reach the Voltric Empire I ran into many people. They trained me with a different way on how to use a sword.Ways with other types of magic. And different skills.

As time went by I became known through various towns as 'The Dark Wolf'. Despite being young I was used to the loss of lives around me, killing became easy. Wither it was a human or a monster of any caliber. I shut my emotions down for the longest of time so that I would never feel the pains of the world around me.

There were times were I laughed or smiled but those were faked. While my anger or sadness was real. Thus the Name 'Dark Wolf' was made.

Five years later. I finally made it to the Voltric Empire.

"Welcome, Are you a traveler or a hunter?" The city gate guard asked.

"Oh I am actually a...a hunter'' I half lied.

"I see well then please show your identification."

I reached in my pocket and took out a gold card handing it over to the guard.

"Oh my already a gold rank at such an age. You most be someone very powerful and gifted."He handed it back as I walked into to kingdom.

The air was filled with the scents of many dishes, cheers of joy, and the clangs of swords clashing together.

-I can't just walk up and say I'm the son of your sister, can I? No I need to find a way in without causing any drama.- I thought as I aimlessly wandered around.

"Hey there boy would you like to participate in the test to become a student in the Second Academy of Swords and magic?" A man asked.

Nodding he led me towards an opening filled with others. Many in which they were trying to use magic and swords.

"Now then here you go" He handed me a thin wooden sword.

"It's okay sir I already have one." I say as I pulled out a dark dragon blade. One of the things I made after killing a stupid dragon, who kept claiming to be the smartest.

"Oh my what a fascinating sword you have"

"I want that sword" A little boy with several knights around him.

"Of course, right away your majesty" One of the knights came over towards me and asked"How much would you like for that sword."

"Please do forgive my rudeness but this sword is not for sale" I stated.

"I see then." He says as he walked back towards the boy.

"I don't care I want that sword and if you don't get me that sword I'll have father behead you." He screamed out.

Once more the knight came over to me and said,"Please for give me but I must really have that sword of yours." He pulls out his sword and swings it at me.

By now the towns people are gathering as they see me dodging all the attacks of this knight.

~Wind Blow~

All at once the people around were blown gently to the ground.

"Are you the Prince of this Kingdom?" I asked the boy who was glaring at me.

"That's right are you scared now that you know who I am" He laughed.

"No I'm just surprised at how I'm related toward you" I gurgled.

"Related to some..." I threw my right hand into the air.

~Royal lighting~

At once the peaceful skies turned black and the lightning stuck my hand lighting up the Voltrain Mark.

Many people fell back as they exclaimed "Oh my goodness that's the royal lighting that only the Royal family can use." and"Oh my goodness, He''s a member of the Royal family, Look he has the Royal crest."

Quickly I cancelled off the lightning and looked back at the boy saying,"I can't believe you would steal from your own family. My dear cousin."

"No Your not my Cousin, I've never seen you in any of the royal meetings your not from any of the branches....just who are you." He stuttered.

Looking at the knights who were looking at me and then the prince as if they were confused." Why don't we talk in the Palace were we can talk freely.Of course your mother and father must be there. if you think I pose a threat you can have me chained up the entire time." I say extending my hands out.

The Knight spoke this time."No it's fine let us go to the palace, there must be a reason on why you hid the Royal mark with those gloves of your" He turn towards the prince and back around." Let us go to the Royal Palace Sir."
