The Start Of An Old Tale

'The Rising...'

An Unknown Age In The Past...

"Looks like... The war is finally over..."

We start at the end of a hard fought battle.

A young beat up man who stood upon a grey and dead battle field could be seen. He was wearing a cool looking blue leather biker jacket, and he seemed to be badly banged up but still managed to stay standing. In his hands he held a massive curved great sword with the number two written across the blade. He has messy silver hair and tired looking silver eyes.

Next to him a small creature stood. It was kind of hard to describe. It was like a black puff ball around the size of a small basket ball. It had pitch black fur and a pair of stubby legs poking out of the bottom of it as well as a pair of stubby arms poking out from its body. It had pitch red eyes, and a tiny little mouth twisted into a smile showing off many fanged and sharp teeth, as well as a pair of cat like ears sticking out of the top of the puff ball and a tail coming out the back.

All around the man large demonic looking red creatures that resembled giant red demons could be seen. They were all large each one being at least fifteen feet tall and had skin tight red flesh that seemed to be stretcher over their massive frame. The natural enemies of Arcane Knights... The floor was made out of small grains of what appeared to be sand, but in actuality were the dusted down remains of bones from those who didn't make it. The entire area just seemed to be a wasteland of death. The sky itself seemed to be grey and dead.

"Maybe now..." The man said quietly as he slowly closed his eyes. A small drop of rain fell from the sky splashing against his face as it began to rain. "Maybe now... We can finally have peace... Here I stand all alone in a field of endless death..." The man stopped as a strange feeling went through his body. He stared down at the ground which had a large black aura rising out of it.

It was large and black. It seemed to form into some kind of massive shadowy monster who's entire face formed together into a massive sneer as it made its way out of the ground.

He turned his head just in time to see a large part of the ground rip open as what appeared to be a massive black snake covered in black armor that was melded to its flesh rose from the ground. That strange scary aura was coming from it. A crackling red energy spewed out of its mouth as the creature began to expand getting bigger and bigger its stomach inflating like a balloon that was being filled with to much air.

The energy got bigger as cracks began to develop along the creatures body and it let out a loud cry!

"Shit! One's still alive. Damn it's trying to self destruct-"

Before the man could finish the beast erupted into a massive explosion enveloping the land in seconds...

A blast that split the world in two...

A blast that could create a whole new story...

Of course this was all a legend.

No way something like this could actually happen right?
