The Name's Bruno

A little boy with big dreams, Bruno is a citizen of the City of Forgery, Darvos.

He is a child who sees the world in a vibrant manner and thinks of his parents as a hero. He is from the 'Dwarven Race', the race that asserts dominance in the west with a city filled with talent. World-class warriors come here to buy weapons and smithing tools.

Bruno loves his life and enjoys every moment of it and seeks strength to be a hero like his dad, a famous blacksmith renowned in the whole Fervious Grounds.

Whenever someone asks Bruno about his training to become strong, he gets excited and brags that after 10 years or so, he will become a worthy man to wield his father's creations.

The dwarven king had summoned Abstar, one of the best individuals of Darvos, One of the 'Nine Stars'.

"Hey Bruno, you want to come to the palace with me?"

"Yes dad, I'd love to!"

The father and son headed to the palace but the guards explained a little about the situation on hand to Abstar which shook him but he remained calm in front of his son who looked up to him as a brave man.

With a sigh, Abstar said, "It seems like you can't come with me to the meeting hall boy. Just stay with the guards okay?"

"Okay, I will.", said Bruno with a puffy face.

Abstar whispered into Bruno's ear, "I'll tell the king to send his daughter to play with you."

"Just go dad..."

"Hahaha! Okay Okay."

Abstar and the other eight stars went in to the meeting hall.

The meeting hall was closed for any more people and so the meeting began.

"I would like to skip any formal talking for now. Our kingdom is in a grave situation right now", said the king.

"How serious of a situation we are talking about?"

"Our kingdom's downfall. The war with the Aviar Kingdom."

The 'Cunning Witch of the Woods', Hema interrupted the king and yelled with a deep voice.

"WHO DARES TO DECLARE A WAR? I WILL SLIT THEIR THROAT!"

All the other Eight Stars stood up and aimed their weapons at Hema.

"Don't interrupt the king, Hema. You might just die from our hands"

"Oh? So, now you all think I am a nuisance. Well then, I'll take my leave and let the rest of you handle the situation."

Hema banged the table and vanished from the room using her witchcraft.

"Why does she always do this?", said Abstar.

"Anyways as I was saying, the Aviar Kingdom has found out that we helped the Mesovar Kingdom with it's military weapons and now they want to get rid of us. It would've been a silent and sneaky bloodshed but thanks to Duke Aviar, the prince of the Aviar Kingdom, we have found out about some plans they have."

"Why would the brat betray his own kingdom?". One of the Nine Stars, Merius, was curious about the boy's intention

The king said, "He might have his own circumstance and also he wanted me to help him get to the West after the war between our kingdoms ends"

"Hoh! This is bound to be fun", said the 'War-Loving Psycho", Qor.

After the meeting was over, the Nine Stars were heading home when suddenly a boy with killing intent came rushing towards them. The boy managed to attack Abstar and chop one of his hands and consume it. Abstar didn't have any fighting skills and his hands were the only tool he had to make the best weapons. The boy managed to run away but someone was chasing him, a Heavenly Warrior from Margus. The other Stars concluded that the one who had attacked them was a Devil's Advocate and consumed Abstar's hands for more stamina.

When Bruno heard this news, he knew his father had lost the ability to craft weapons and he knew his dream of wielding one of his father's creation after some years had become a dream forever. Abstar didn't think much of it but the young boy was furious.

When the boy found out it was one of the Devil's Advocates, he knew he had to get strong enough to avenge his father. Why wouldn't he? The Devil's Advocate stole his father's one and only specialty which had given him the privilege to exercise the power of the 'Nine Stars'.

"Who was the Devil's Advocate? Why was a Heavenly Warrior following him? Why did he have to do this?" These were the questions that kept Bruno thinking and thinking. He soon started training intensely with a strong will and also wanted to participate in the upcoming war to become experienced. The boy was just 16 years old and if he were to kill even a single enemy in the battlefield, he would be praised as the youngest warrior of Darvos.

The boy challenged many strong people before the war began and he introduced himself to every enemy before having a chaotic battle.

"The Name's Bruno. Remember that."
