"No own knows the secret of the beast"
_____
The legends told happened annually; The corruption, every year the beast would slither through the cracks of the earth, every year, another human would be taken.
Our ancestors warned that once a human was corrupted; there was no way back.
Apart from death..
___
Thousands of years ago, a monarch was said to have released a dangerous force onto the earth with the energy of all mages in the kingdom of Dexrecs. It was an unimaginable power that could devour the whole world, but it stood obediently by the King's side, annihilating surrounding kingdoms and plummeting cities.The king basked in the destruction his newfound power brought upon his enemies. And lust for even more power settled in his heart and made him enhance the dragon's with his people's blood and souls.
The dragon, immeasurably power, broke loose of his King's control, setting the capital ablaze in the all consuming flames of death. The king, distressed, assembled all mages and demanded they take their power back from the might beast. They failed. And just when there was no hope, a peasant mage sacrificed himself, creating a weapon, activated only by his bloodline; a sword and shield no man could see.
That very night the dragon was slain, but it rose from the ashes; wings gone and became a beast brought back by the Devil. It terrifies the earth, in the stead of the one who brought it back from the dead.
Hiro Holmes, a nineteen year old American, who had looked hardship in the eye and laughed at it every time; had never faced something like this. The beast calls unto him and many others with it's children.
A group of oddly banded people are forced to journey to a place where death reigns, mysteries beg to be solved and where the beast faces them, baring his fangs at them with the Devil on it's back.
Death will reign, but not alone.
There will be a ray of hope; a vision, that shall accompany the darkness.
Light and Death can have no fellowship, Hiro must choose: Freedom or Redemption?
Will he choose the latter? not relying on the weapons which he cannot see? Will he walk the path of destruction?
God calls, but he doesn't listen. He instead has one task in hand, mind and soul; to be free, but the question is...
Will he ever be?

Warning: There would be blood and colorful language(lots) but no steamy scenes.
Enjoy :)
