The Shadow's Dawn

What if I told you there's a place like no other, where magic and mythical beasts are the norm. A place where you and anyone else can become powerful and wise. This is certainly not your world but it was mine. My world has been torn apart by wars and power hungry mages trying to grasp for power. My world used to be full of people trying to make it better for everyone around them. They would share their discoveries and work together to build a better and brighter future. We had many bright and prosperous cities. They were full of life and people learning new things. But that all changed when The Traxxas came into power. They decided that only certain people were allowed to use magic. They started many wars and killed many people. The last war “Magic’s Shadow” destroyed all of our greatest cities. Our world is nothing but a remnant, a lost memory. All of this history is lost to the world. There are no longer mages or great wizards of the past. People have made their homes among the ruins of our once great civilization. The once great and all powerful mythical beasts have become nothing more than monsters out for blood. The mages were replaced by dark magic users know as Jrax. Everyone is now out there for themselves. Now you're probably wondering who am, I  go by Vex. All you need to know is I'm a sword wielding, badass bounty hunter.

Dawn of a Man

The day started like every other day Vex woke up hungover after night of drinking and passed out at the bar again at The Hunter's Fall which is an inn that he always stays at. The bartender, John gives him new bounties every morning like always he takes them all. But one caught his eye this time, it was some chick worth 1,000,000$ they gave her the name The Reaper, she wielded a shredded scythe. She was described as wearing a torn all black hooded robe, she also had this black like mist covering her face.(Vex)"Do you have any more information on this reaper girl." (John)."No I do not that's all they gave me… well actually I did hear some rumors that the reason she has such a high bounty is that she killed a group of 5 Jrax. Apparently she used magic, higher level than any Jrax are used to dealing with she might even be using the powers of the old ."(Vex)"Do you know where I can find her"(John)"I overheard someone saying that it looked like a big battle had gone down in Water's Square recently you might want to start there."Vex ran out in a hurry his black and blue duster flailing in the wind behind him.

Water's Square was an old courtyard between a bunch of buildings with a big water fountain in the middle with water flowing out of it. Which had overflowed the fountain which then filled the courtyard. When Vex arrived he could clearly tell a battle had taken place here recently. He found residue from very powerful spells way more powerful than anything the Jrax can use. Vex is an expert on things like this. He examined the scene looking for any ways to track her.(?)"Who are you and what are you doing here" Vex turned around and realized it was the girl on the bounty and she had a very big ball over fire in her hand and was aiming it at him. He immediately flipped out of the way. The blast then blew up the skyscraper behind where Vex  was standing the building crumbled down knocking various building around it down.(The Reaper)"I can tell you use very powerful magic so don't hold back."(Vex)" If we keep fighting here The Traxxas will send their elite squad and I don't think I could defeat them if they come."(The Reaper)" What do you think a can't fight old man." She then begins to start firing off very many powerful spells. Vex evades all of them slowly becoming more and more annoyed by the second one of her fire ball hit Vex's jacket burning the right arm completely off. Vex immediately stops his eyes than turn from a nice soft blue to a burning hot blood red.  Suddenly flames start bursting out from him .(Vex)" You  want a fight than a fight I will give you." He goes into X-13 magic stance a blood red magic circle apears below him flames start to circle Vex . Then the dark blue sky turned to a pitch black the moon turned from a bright white to a dark red the sky suddenly began to rain fire.( Vex)"Qui voco super orbis terrarum flammis delere omne da mihi potestatem; Flammis Dei Dissoluti." Which than shot off a very powerful flame spell which disintegrated everything within 1,000 miles in front of him. The Reaper tried to put up a shield to protect herself but it didn't work she was heavily injured her robe torn to bits she laid on the ground dying.  

Of course the Traxxas sent their elite squad and they were ready to fight and so was Vex. Vex decided it would be a good idea not to use as powerful of spells as he just used. So he drew his sword Vics he than mumbled some gibberish spells and imbued them on his sword. Vex's sword burst into flames then the flames turned to a dark black and leaked into aura around him.(Vex)"There they are I'm ready to kill all of you. Wait there more than 5 with them did they get a new member.(?) Alright you guys know what to do put up a barrier that way nothing else gets destroy any thing more and I can fight at my full strength. The man stood before Vex towering over him his eyes a dark gray he had a full beard of black hair with a touch of gray here and there.(?)"You boy, what's your name."(Vex)"Wouldn't it be more curteis to introduce yourself first. (?)"Well boy, it's been awhile since I've fought someone as much power as you." (Vex)"Well one thing I will tell you is that outfit is stolen." (?)" I assure you that you don't know a thing about this boy now come quietly or I'll take you by force." (Vex)"I would like to see you try,  General Dezios." (General Dezios)"How do you know my name?" (Vex)" Wouldn't you like to know." Dezios pulled out his gun shooting and then shot Vex in the head. Vex made the bullet ricochet off his blade killing one the elite guards.' Immediately Dezios shot off another few shots 4 of the bullets missed and the other one hit Vex in the head. Vex's fun and calm demeanor immediately disappeared the light vanished from his eyes flamed up to match the flame aura around him and it slowly turned to a blood red. The aura was suddenly covering him within a blink of an eye he went for a slice at Dezios .
