Chapter -1 Revival

"Not a ceiling I remember," said as he woke up. He sat up on the bed and looked around him. The room resembled that of a high classed people with high family status. He got off the bed and opened the curtains. It was at midnight. The moon was high up in the sky. He looked down, there he found a gate with guards besides it. He looked to the town that was down the hill. Suddenly he starts to tremble. He couldn't remember a thing, about himself, about the place that he was in, nothing. He got freaked out. He looked around him and saw a door, went towards the door, it was locked. "Is anyone there?" he cried as he banged the door but no one answered. He tried to break through the door but it was not possible. He went to the window tried to escape but it was too high. He tried to look around for things but couldn't find a thing that could be of any use to him. "Remember.... remember who am I??" he said as he sat on the bed tried to remember how this happened but it was of no use. He couldn't even remember his name.

He begins to struggle for answers but it was hopeless. He lied on the bed after giving up hope. Then suddenly a bell rang. It was loud. It was some sort of alarm. He got up and looked through the window there was fire on the gate that he saw where he was trapped in and the guards guarding the palace were killed. He saw few people in red speed up towards the gate. He got scared and kept on slamming the door."Is anyone there? Please help me. There is something going on outside, I'm trapped here. Please, is anyone there?" he cried but it was of no use. He tried to break the door like before but it was of no use. He turned around and to his surprise, there was a person in a black and red gown." who are you?"He asked as he was puzzled. The person in the gown tried to capture him but he resisted then BAM!!, there was a hit on his head, he fell unconscious and fell down.

He slowly opened his eyes, his head hurt. He looked around and found out that he was not in the place that he was before. He was tied up with a strange glowing rope in a chair. He looked around him. It was a stable with a horse tied in a distance. "Boss he's wake" whispered a man. There were two men in front of him. They both had scars and wounds over there body. A woman entered. She was tall and looked kinda strong with red hair and tattoos all over her body. The tattoo resembled that of some kind of writing. She leaned closer to him. " Who are you? Why am I tied up?" he said. "So you really don't remember me do you?" said the woman. She didn't have an eye he noticed. her left eye was scarred as if someone removed it forcefully with bare hands. There came a few fragments of memories rushing to him, giving him a headache. In that memory, the woman in front of him was there. His breath becomes heavy.

"No ...?? Nothing...?" she said "Then maybe this form will make you remember," she said and chanted something.

Tattoos on her body glowed. She shapeshifted and turned into a monster. Scared by that form he begins tried to set himself free but no can do. She was like a big human-boar like creature with horns.

"Do you remember now? Look what you did to me. Just because I killed some of the villagers you took away my magic and now I cannot even keep this form for that long" she turned to normal as she said. "Took away her magic? What is she saying??".

-"Now tell me where the sword of Amatsu is?"

-"What are you talking about?"

-"Ha, so you really aren't going to tell me, are you?"

-"What? What sword of Amatsu? I have no idea what you are talking about."

She became more furious than she already was and ordered her men "Beat this big shot to a pulp until he reveals everything about the sword ." The man spread out his hand and magically the glowing rope that bonded him appeared out of his hand but it further turned into a lash. He began to whip him up with that lash until he got unconscious.

"Nibble-Nibble" he woke up as something was trying to nibble near his feet. Slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He found himself again in a new place in the same state. The place was surrounded by walls and there was a small window on the right side of where he was sitting. He looked at his injuries but to his surprise, it was healing very fast. His eyes then fell to his feet where the rope was tied. He looked carefully; there was a big fat rodent nibbling the rope tied at his feet. It was fluffy with a strange look and body structure. It then climbed on his lap. "Shoo shoo," he tried to make that rodent leave.

"Yo!" it said.

"What the... am I dreaming or something?" he said.

"Please stay still I'll free you at once," it said and started nibbling the rope. It looked as it was eating the rope. The entire glowing thing in the rope was eaten by the rodent. As the glowing thing vanished, it looked like any other normal rope. At last, he was free from the bonds. As soon as he got up, he shook the rodent off with his hands and rushed towards the door. The rodent followed him. "Please take me with you." said the rodent. He then grabbed the rodent and noticed that the rodent was kind of heavy and its body was hard as if of steel. He twisted the handle of the door and tried to push. It was locked. He tackled it and it burst open. He was surprised. He slowly peeked out his head to see if anyone was there. There was no one. He slowly got out of the room, ran to the end of the passage. Then suddenly there was a sound of an explosion, he was startled as the earth beneath shook. He ran and ran and finally he reached out. He saw the horse that was tied with him before. He freed the horse so that he could ride it but it fled. He had no other choice but to run. "Hey don't go this way," said the rodent as he was running. he suddenly stopped. There was a cliff where he was standing. He gazed down the cliff, there was nothing but clouds. He was in place somewhere high as on a mountain. 'FLASH' a flash of light appeared out of nowhere. The flash disappeared and a bright shining object was there instead. The rodent dropped down from his shoulder and shined brightly. He looked at it. It grew bigger and bigger to the size of himself. The rodent transformed into a human. "Wait, what are you?" The bright shining object slowly approached him. As it approached him, the light grew less dim. He looked at it closely, it was a man. At one moment he was far and the other moment he was just in front of him. "STAB!!" Suddenly he felt pain on his stomach, he felt the part with his hands as he looked surprised. "Lord Amatsu! NOO!!" cries the rodent. He looked down and found out that he was stabbed by that man who was approaching him and said "Finally I killed you..." as he inserts the dagger deeper.
