prologue :The road of power is stained with blood

England، 8th century

On the outskirts of the England kingdom located a dark forest with very long and ancient trees, the forest gives eerie vibes, and from time to time you can hear the cries of animals from the forest as if these animals warn anyone from approaching the forest. The eastern half of the forest corresponds to the western half of the England Kingdom, while the western half of the forest corresponds to the sea.

In the northwestern part of the forest, near the sea, there is a waterway surrounded by cliffs on both sides. This waterway connects the sea to a small lake, next to that small lake located a very old house resembling the houses in the old villages, that house is often made of wood, clay, and straw. The house consists of three rooms and a small dining hall. In the middle of the dining hall is a table surrounded by four chairs. Sitting on one of those chairs is a man in his forties wearing a black karate dress without sleeves, engraved on its back two crossed swords, that man has a long red hair, wide red eyes, and a pointed chin with a scar extending from the bottom of his right eye to the middle of his cheek. This man has a well-trained muscular body, But his muscles are not those huge muscles that increase the size of their owner at the expense of his flexibility, but his muscles seem as if they were carved like one of those Roman or greeks statues.

On the chair next to him, a woman sits in mid-thirties, wearing a black Victorian-style dress that covers her beautiful body and her curved waist, this woman has very soft dark black hair extending up to her shoulders, thin red lips, a small nose, and blue eyes like seawater decorating her round White and thin face

On the other side of the table, a 10-year-old boy sits. This boy looks like a miniature version of the old man sitting in front of him _ without the scar, of course, _ and on the chair next to the boy a 4-year-old girl sits. with a Round white face decorated with small nose, thin and red lips, white eyebrows, but the first thing that you will notice when looking at the girl is her white eyes and her weak body. The girl is obviously blind

This family was eating breakfast silently and harmoniously until the woman spoke to the man, breaking this silence. "Theodore. We need to buy some wheat for bread. Our stock ran out. Also, I heard the voices of some wild animals today morning. Make sure to take a look." The man smiled and gave the woman Next to him a reassuring look, then he said: "Do not worry my dear, I will take care of the wild animals. I would go out hunting today anyway. As for wheat, I will go to the village to exchange the meat and leather of animals for some."

The man turned and looked at the little boy in front of him and then asked him, "Edward, do you want to accompany me during my trip to the village?" The boy looked at his father with joy and said, "Okay, Dad", while they were talking the little girl pulled her bowl of food that contained some hot porridge towards her and she did not realize that the bowl was already close to the edge of the table and when the hot porridge almost spilled over, Theodore quickly pointed out with his hand Toward the bowl, a wave of energy ran out of his hand quickly to freeze the bowl and porridge in the air before the girl was hurt. Because of the sudden movement, the girl was horrified and started crying. Here, the mother hurriedly brought the girl to her bosom and said to her: "Be careful, little honey, let me feed you."

While the mother was calming the child, Theodore pointed out with his hand, the porridge returned to the bowl, and then the bowl returned to the table. Edward looked at his father with admiration, although it was not the first time that Edward had seen his father do these magical things, he was surprised every time. He had already asked his father several times to teach him how to do this, but every time he refused and told him that he must reach the age of ten first before he started training him, so Edward was feeling happy now because tomorrow will be the day when he will be ten years old so he asked His father looked so excited, "Dad, I will be 10 years tomorrow, won't you start teaching me how to do that ??"

Upon hearing Edward's question and seeing his excited look, Theodore sighed and looked at his wife who gave him an approval look. In fact, Theodore does not want his son to know how to fight and kill because he wishes him to lead a peaceful life, but he is also the most person who knows how hard and ruthless this world can be towards the weak and the poor. They live at the mercy of fate that can take away everything in One moment, pushing them into the depths of despair.

But he also knows that strength attracts problems and blood, just as a magnet attracts iron, so he must make sure that his son is ready to face that. Theodore looked at his wife and said, "Why don't you take Arya to play outside a little bit, my dear Catherine?" . Catherine looked at him and gave him a warning look, then she joined Arya to her chest and said, "Honey, why don't we go play a little outside?" Upon hearing this, an angelic smile appeared on Arya's lips and raised her hands with joy and said, "Well, I want to play in the lake water." Then Catherine left carrying Arya out with her, leaving Theodore and Edward only in the room. The smile disappeared from the face of Theodore and was replaced by a serious expression, then Theodore turned to Edward and released his aura and directed it to Edward and then asked him, "Do you really want to go this way, Edward, you do not realize this but the path to strength is stained with blood and the desire to destroy. And when you kill for the first time Your body will carry a non-removable scent, a scent that will attract you wolves and demons wearing human skins and in the end you will find yourself sitting on a pile of corpses, do you really want to pay that exorbitant price for power ?? ".

When Theodore released his aura, Edward sensed enormous pressure on his body and soul and forgot for a few moments how to breathe, as he sweated profusely, and when listening to his father's words, he began to hesitate and felt his resolve began to falter. All he thought about at that moment was to escape from this room, as he felt intense fear from his father for the first time in his life !! . But after a few minutes of silence. The memories of what happened three years ago began flashing in his mind one after the other and he felt anger and sorrow running through his veins and then his anger overcame his fear and his expression became a sign of intense determination when he said "I am ready, because I swore to" him" that I will become stronger to protect our family."

Upon hearing his son's words and seeing his resolute expression, Theodore withdrew his aura and sighed, then replaced his strict expression with a smile and said, "Well, everyone, Edward has the right to choose his path in life, and it is my duty as your father to give you support, but I hope you will not regret this. I will not tolerate you in training and believe me it will be Very painful. "After he said his last sentence a sinister look appeared on Theodore's face, it sent chills to Edward's back and made him adjust his way of sitting.

Edward looked at his evil father's expression and began to mutter "Have i just made a deal with the devil ??"

Upon hearing his words, Theodore began to laugh and then poked his son's forehead with his finger and said, "I will leave you enjoy today because your training will start from tomorrow." Theodore got up and took his bow and arrows out, leaving Edward sitting in his place and holding his forehead in confusion.Soon Edward woke up from his confusion, then he sighed, shook his head and decided to enjoy the last moments of his precious freedom, because whenever he remembered his father's expression, he felt that he had set his feet in hell himself.
