Prelude: Remnants

There once was a man with black raven slick-backed hair, he stood around 6'5, and was extremely muscular due to the harsh training he went through. He stood at the edge of the mountain overlooking the Chinese village Jiaju, located in a place Sichuan. A man whose moniker was Zhang Lou. His noble upbringing developed his gentle attitude to the world making him a pacifist at heart. Although people and their words mirrored otherwise. His heart burned bright with passion and determination which was displayed in every step he took on the many journeys he embarked on. Zhang Lou was notorious, and the very fact that he was the son of the most dangerous and infamous rebel, Feng Lou, this very fact didn't assist or aid Zhang Lou in his upbringing as he was constantly reminded of his fathers infamous legacy. Feng took the world in his hands and exceeded expectations, shattered limitations and was the scribe of his own fate he wanted people to know, and hear his name.... not just his fathers.

Zhang Lou found strength through fighting for his bloodline and his heritage. To be the student and successor of such prideful people is what pushes him to and further beyond his limits. He believed he had nothing else to lose which was why he was so strong. He had nothing to fear. He lost his family and empire. His dad was enslaved in the black realm for years and he lost his princess to be, Wu Xiao. All hope was lost for Zhang. And he was ok with that. This was due to the primary fact that he believed with his soul that he was the only one that he was the last one upholding the remnants of a shattered empire.

This world was nothing to him. People cast him aside due to the tyranical behaviour of his ancestors. But he knew the truth. The Xiao empire had spread the idea that the Lou empire were brutal and ruthless after they wiped all of them off the face of the earth years ago while Zhang Lou was just a child. His father sent him away to save him as he gave his last of his power to him. His father obtained a god type element that no one had yet discovered. The mixture of fire, earth, wind and light energy. He was godly. He had obtained a raw power unparalleled across the land. But when the war broke out between Lous and Xiaos, The Xiao family had found out about and obtained a dark energy that simply out powered anything that the regular man could achieve. This lead to Fend being sent away to the dark realm because of him being immortal and having light energy. And this dark battle power multiplier made the Xiao army unstoppable.

"I will avenge my people. The Xiao empire will cease to exist after my expedition begins. One by one they will perish. By my hands and my hands only". Zhang recited every day for the past 15 years and for that time he had spent thousands of hours perfecting his craft because he too had inherited dormant light energy within him from his father. This is his path to peace and restoration of what once was a peaceful china.
