"It was called
Nexus. Place where strong force was held, in case of some urgent situation, waiting to be released. Nobody knew of
Nexus, except the Great Emperor and his Royal Guards. That secret was kept for over one million years, from generation to generation Royal Guards were keeping that secret away from others, so nobody would know and seek that power, which is beyond everyone's imagination. They were taught, from their first days as living beings, that they must not tell that secret to anyone, no matter of case. Nonetheless, rumors have been spread trough the Empire about that unimaginable power, and everyone was asking Royal Guards and Emperor about it, but they haven't got any answer about it. Many raids were also organized, in hope that they'll find that so called
Nexus thing, but nobody knew what it was and where to search for it, since it was only known by Emperor himself. Over time, people grew impatient and they wanted to know what
Nexus is and how to use it, but again Emperor would ignore them and attend to more important matters of his Empire. It was so, until one day flames fell from the sky, informing the humanity that days of Cataclysm have come, and to prepare them for upcoming war. Emperor was shocked by that event, and he organized scouting raids to find
Nexus once again, in hope that
Nexus is the only thing that can save them right now. Many days passed after that day, when flames fell from the sky, and
Nexus still wasn't found. Full of sadness, people of Empire started to run away, far away into mountains, in hope of finding a new life there. Too many losses for Empire, since all people left it, made it fell under chaos corruption of Dark Sorcerer
Gazim. Sorcerer used his dark magics to corrupt Emperor, and thanks to corruption of Emperor, he started a civil war in Empire, making him the Commander of Rebels. Rebels easily defeated Emperor's men, since they were empowered by Sorcerer's dark magics, and Emperor was killed. One year later, Empire became nothing more but a long-forgotten place where nobody dared to enter, since rumors were saying that living Skeleton warriors are walking on the streets.
Gazim started his own Cult in those ruins, called '
Cult of the Banished', and one year later he was taught how to use Demonic Magics, making him almost immortal. Remnants of the Empire gathered together, in hope that they will stop
Gazim and his dark plans, but one after one, they died because they were overpowered by
Gazim's Demons..."
"Some of them that remained, made their small towns South of Empire. Years have passed and townsfolk who lived South of Empire started living normal lives, slowly forgetting about what happened some years ago. They gathered strongest among the villages and made some small kind of army. Of course they were weak, but also they were honored to serve their newly formed Nation. They were wearing small, thin and weak swords, leather hamlets on head and some small weak armor. Hamlet was more for defending from Sun, than the swords and battle. Their village connections were so strong, so whenever one village would be attacked by Bandits, other villages would come and protect it.
Meanwhile, Gazim and his Demonic Forces were regrouping and making new monstrosities and creatures, spawning Demons from other Dimensions at the same time also, noticing that their time for destroying humanity has finally came. Humans weren't prepared for what was coming towards them, yet their stood their ground together, waiting for their doom to come. Thousands of Demons and creatures left Capital City of Empire, rushing into battle with Humans. Commander
Ryan was in charge of Northern Front, and his forces were pushing back Demons to their Cursed Town. Bravery of Humans shocked even Gazim, who thought of this war as piece of cake. He ordered all forces to push their attack on Northern Front, leaving other battlefields empty. Humans haven't foreseen Gazim's actions, and they paid that with loss of their Noble Commander Ryan. He died in the battle, where they were heavy overpowered, seeking help from others but nobody could make it in time there. From Northern Front, Demons rushed deeper into Humans' Nation, destroying everything in their path. One after one, villages of humans were falling down, burning and being crushed by hands of Gazim's demons. Last Village that remained was 'Ugran', small village Southern of Battlefield. Ugran's villagers gathered together, holding everything they could use as weapon, waiting for that huge way of demons who was rushing towards them. In the morning, first sign of demons was shown on the plain battlefield, roaring and battle crying with their hard voice, they rushed towards humans. Humans raised their weapons and with huge courage they charged towards Demons, prepared to die already. Two forces clashed, making the ground shake and huge dust erupt out of nowhere. Screams, metal clashes and blood were all over the battlefield, but humans ignored the fact that they are heavily outnumbered. They fought with honor and pushed back first wave of Demons, making them run away for their lives. As Demons were running away, strange horn sent sound all over the battlefield, making everyone's legs shake and grass fly all over the field. Humans again made a formation, even picking up wounded soldiers, who shouted that they want to battle Demons. What's left of Humans, stood bravely in a line, waiting for another wave of Demonic Forces. Strange smell could be felt in the air, it was smell of blood, flesh and broken bones, in other words smell of death and doom. Thousands of Demons were standing in three lines, not making a single move. Humans were shocked by their reaction, since they knew that Demons are blood thirsty beings. Suddenly out of nowhere, Gazim appeared with head of Emperor in his right hand.
"Do you still dare to charge at us?!" shouted Gazim, making a evil smile on his old face. Humans were shocked as they seen head of their beloved Emperor in hands of Gazim. Gazim turned around, nodding at his army, ordering them to attack Humans. As he did that, instantly Demons rushed forward, killing the first line of Humans in no time. Gazim knew that Humans will put down their guard, when they see their Emperor's head. Humans quickly raised their weapons, but as soon as they did that they would get sword in their head or chest, and they would fall down on the ground, laying dead. Last lines that remained started running away for their lives, but they were quickly sliced by demons. As they were running, ten black figures appeared, slicing about two demons each. Humans stood their ground, killing what's left of Demons among them, looking at ten black figures. Those beings had human-look body, black robes and hoods over their heads, so the face wasn't viewable.
"We are here to protect you. You don't have nothing to worry about from now on, former Humans of the Empire!" shouted one of black figures, quickly charging towards Gazim. Gazim jumped high into air, shouting some magical words. Spell wasn't finished, and he got sliced from behind by another black figure, who kicked him back on the ground. Gazim hit the ground from highness, and he crushed his body.
"Da-....damned cowards!" he shouted, as he was using small spell to recover his bones quickly. One black figure suddenly appeared near him, cutting his head off and burning the rest of his body. Demons looked with scared expressions on their faces, as some of them ran away for their lives.
"Rush back to Portal, we are outta here Demons!" shouted some of them, as they were running away. Black figures gathered together, looking at remaining humans.
"We are sorry, we are late..." said one of black figures, looking at humans..."
Humans looked at them with scared expression looks on their faces, raising their weapons as protection. Black figures removed their hoods from heads, revealing their faces. They were young, long and black haired people, who had light in their eyes. They explained to Humans that they are Holy Paladins from another Kingdom, who came to help them in their was against Gazim..."
"With Demons and Gazim defeated, remains of the Old Empire decided to rebuilt their once strong Kingdom. Over time, Empire grew back to it's former strength, with strong warriors and high populace. Everything seemed to be back to normal, but peace cannot last long in Zulium. Two volcano's, who were located South and East of Empire erupted, making great amount of lava come out and burn everything near them. New Emperor of the great Empire, whose name was Kathan, sent three scouting forces to each location, ordering them to investigate everything, in hope they could find some clue of what happened, or even some gift. They went there and in no time, Emperor lost contact with them. People of Empire became scared of another Cataclysm coming towards them, but Emperor said that he guarantee them safety, so there's nothing to worry about. Kathan went with few battalions to Southern Volcano, but as soon as he reached it, he saw a swamp full of Dragon Eggs. Eggs were small, so every soldier from one battalion picked up one. Being ordered to take them back to Capital Town, they carried them. Kathan also ordered some troops to stay near that Volcano, and moved with the rest of his battalions to other one. Marching to the next Volcano was tiresome, and soldiers got extinguished. They made small war-camp on the half of way, staying there for three nights. Days were passing slowly, such as nights. Everything was so quiet, since they were camping near one huge forest, who seemed to be empty for ages. Some animal would pass by here and there, but such wasn't happening so often. On the fourth day, in the morning they decided to pack their things and move on. Kathan ordered them to pack that small war-camp quickly, and follow the rest of battalion. They were moving more faster than to the first Volcano, since now they were completely full of energy. Night fell and they finally reached the Volcano, who was now guarded by two small Drakes. Drakes were sleeping on the ground, not noticing Kathan and his men. Kathan ordered two of his best assassins to slay those Drakes, without any single sound, and they did so. Drakes were headless in no time, and their bodies haven't moved a bit. Kathan and his men proceeded on, noticing two a bit bigger dragons flying over the Volcano. They tried to evade the Dragons without being spotted, but they failed. Dragons spotted them and in no time they began flying at them, blowing fire blasts from their mouths, burning some men. Kathan raised his shield, and so did the rest of the army. Fire blasts were hitting the shields, and some warriors got burned and some resisted. Kathan jumped high into the air, catching up to one Dragon, slicing his chest and then falling down on the ground. Wounded Dragon fell on the ground, bleeding all over the ground. He screamed in pain and other dragons who were guarding the Volcano heard him as well, immediately flying towards his location. Kathan knew that there is no way in running, and that it will only make things worse. As such, he ordered his men to hold their ground and push back every single Dragon who attacks them. Dragons were coming, one after one and attacking Humans, who were fighting back bravely. Even though Humans were fighting back, they were ten times weaker than the Dragons, so they lost a lot of men during the battle. As soon as the Humans lost hope and moral for battle, strange arrows started hitting the Dragons. Arrows were shinning blue, and when they would hit a Dragon, they would explode making him explode with them. Dragons were exploding one by one, as Humans watched shocked at what's going on. When the last Dragon fell, Humans noticed from where arrows are coming, and they moved in that direction. As they got closer, they spotted a red flag, waving all over the field. "Elves? - It cannot be!" shouted Kathan, as he looked at red flag recognizing the sign on it. Elves were marching slowly towards the Humans, with their weapons placed back inside their holsters. "Nice timing." nodded Kathan, looking at leader of Elves. "Ah', it's nothing. This is our realm also, we have to protect it. We are Elves of Drumhold, and my name is Dorian!" answered Elven Leader with a smile on his face. Dorian and Kathan shared their investigations, and both stories pointed at heart of this Volcano. "Seems like their Dragon-King is inside, eh?" said Dorian, nodding at Kathan. Kathan nodded twice, while ordering his men to move slowly towards the heart of Volcano. As soon as they entered the Volcano, weather changed. It was foggy and, even for an Elf, it was hard to breath. "Damned smudge, we cannot breath here!" said Kathan, looking at Dorian. "Same goes here, but we have to get their King!" Dorian answered, breathing heavily and looking straight towards the stairs in front of them. Stairs were made so one would lead up and one would lead down, like slicing the path into two. "My battalions will take upper part of Volcano, you go down!" said Kathan. Dorian nodded, ordering his men to move down the stairs, while Kathan and his men were going straight up the stairs. While walking up the stairs, air was getting cleaner and it was much easier to breath. "Seems like Dorian and his men got into trouble!" said Kathan, ordering his men to fall back and go down the stairs. As soon as they turned around, they heard one very loud scream. It was Dragon scream, possibly a scream of huge Dragon Lord. "Charge towards the Dorian, he needs help!" shouted Kathan, as him and his men were running down the stairs. His first lines got closer to the entrance and fell down on the ground, with arrows in their chests. "Orks, this is our chance'z to prove our selve'z!" shouted strange voice, who ordered band of dirty, brown creatures to attack Kathan's men. Humans clashed with those strange enemies, slicing them one by one. Orks appeared to be weaker than the Humans, because they were Ork-Bandits, who had no armor on themselves, only swords and shields. Orks were defeated without many losses at Humans' side, and Humans proceed down the stairs, to help Dorian and his men. As they entered the heart of Volcano, they saw Elven bodies all over the place, some of them torn apart and some burned. In the middle of that crater, there was Black Dragon covered by Metal screaming at single warrior, who seemed to push him back. It was Dorian, he was the only one Elven left in his battalion. "Charge Humans, show this huge Dragon no mercy!" shouted Kathan, ordering his men to charge towards Dragon. Huge Black Dragon noticed them and he turned his attention to them, ignoring Dorian. "Nobody will mess with Zykia and stay alive, nobody!" shouted Dragon, as he was blowing fire towards Kathan's men, making them scream in pain and burn in his dark flames. Kathan jumped high into air, in hope that he'll hit that Dragon Lord with huge amount of strength, but as soon as his blade reached Dragon's metal, it crashed and turned into dust. Dragon turned around and with his wing, he smashed Kathan onto the ground. Kathan was laying on the ground, dead. Dorian saw what happened and he hid himself behind the small rock. Some Humans were still fighting, but they soon got defeated also. "Humans..." mumbled Dorian, hiding from Dragon Lord. "And where are you, hero?!" shouted Zykia, looking all over the crater. There was actually no sign of Dorian, since he hid well. Zykia suddenly began spreading her wings, flying up the Volcano. Dorian threw his last knife towards Zykia's heart, since that was the only place that wasn't protected by metal. Knife hit Zykia's skin and exploded, making her fall down on the ground, screaming in pain. "You're done, Dragon Queen!" shouted Dorian as he was charging towards Zykia, throwing two bigger rocks straight in her head. Rocks were hitting her head, smashing the metal surrounding it. Zykia attempted to fly in the air again, and succeeded. "This ain't over!" she shouted to Dorian, as she flew away from the Volcano..."
"Dorian was alone in that huge crater, looking at all those dead bodies. "How could this be? All those brave warriors died because of one Dragon!" he mumbled, looking with shocked expression at the bodies. He started walking slowly towards the entrance of Volcano, and suddenly out of nowhere two battalions of Humans erupted inside, looking all over the crater. Dorian fell unconscious, and they picked him up, taking him outside in the Medical Tent. Meanwhile near the Southern Oceanside, in a small cave, Zykia was healing her wound on chest, while laying on the ground, breathing heavily. "I-.... I almost died there. How could that be?" she mumbled, looking at the ground. Soon after that she fell asleep. Next morning, Dorian wake up, looking all over that medical tent. Strange old man healed his wounds, and Dorian was feeling alright. "What happened inside, who killed our Emperor?" asked Old Man, looking at Dorian confused. Dorian began shaking his head, showing man that he knows nothing about that incident. Old man nodded twice, turning around and walking away, leaving the tent. Dorian stood up, leaving the tent he saw that Humans are using great amount of water, attempting to extinguish the Volcano. Other Humans were digging graves for the fallen ones, while third group of them were healing remaining alive Humans. He packed his small amount of things, and began walking away from the camp. As he was walking, he spotted a broken body of Kathan, who was laying on one big stone, covered by wood. It seemed like Humans want to burn his body, instead of digging grave for him. Dorian nodded at Kathan's body. "You were a strong and brave warrior..." mumbled Dorian, walking away. Zykia also healed her wounds, and she flew away from that cave, burning it first, leaving nothing inside. She was flying all over the region, searching for Ancient Sacred Portal, that Gazim used to spawn Demons into Zulium. She spotted ruins down near one small lake, and in the middle of those ruins there was one look-a-like portal. "This might be it?" she mumbled as she landed near it, looking straight trough it. Those ruins were once a Capital Town of Empire, now nothing more but bunch of ruined rocks and stones. "I call upon Gazim, the mighty sorcerer who once ruled over this world!" shouted Zykia, looking straight trough portal. Strange demonic figure appeared on the portal, looking at Zykia. "Who dares to call my name?" said that Fallen Demon. Zykia nodded once, smiling and letting fire go trough her nose. "I've got an special offer for you, sorcerer" said Zykia. "I can revive you, you can rule this world once again, but I want from you to bring back my legion of black dragons!" she continued. Gazim nodded twice, looking at Zykia. "I guess we have a deal then..." said Gazim, smiling. Zykia flew high into air, performing some spell with her wings. She did few wing-signs and then blew the portal away with her huge blast of fire. Whole ruins were burning, and only one being was now standing near the place where portal was. Gazim jumped on Zykia's neck, riding her. She flew away from the ruins, heading to North...
