Introduction WoM

~War of Myths~

Preface

The calm night sky covered the land in a peaceful darkness as the city dwellers all prepared for the time of rest. The city lights creating a soft glow in the sky as those lucky enough to see above the buildings admired its grace and soft protection from the dark. The peace was uninterrupted to most; however, two people were still worried on a night such as this.

A man stood overlooking the city as he softly sighed, the ongoing war had only worsened, and nights like this only prolonged the inevitable. Destruction was only around the corner for some, each passing day was like a constant nightmare of destruction and loss… One could only hope for a miracle.

The sound of the door closing brought the mans attention away from his musings, he turned to lay his eyes upon his beautiful mate. As she gracefully walked into the room, the soft white fabric wrapped around her body and her long soft white hair cascading around her made her appear to be a goddess. She almost was one, the Mythrian blood coursing through her veins gave her the right to walk like a goddess through the mortal world, each step she took brought light to the darkness, some found her to be the most beautiful being in the kingdom... And others wished her dead. Her face had a calm look to it, but her mate knew that her silver eyes showed trouble, grief and worry was displayed for all who looked close enough to see.

The man himself was also a Mythrian, and as his mate walked up to him and laid her head on his chest he could quickly sense something was wrong, and as his silver eyes gazed into hers their minds linked for a moment while he sighed again and kissed her head. “Do not worry my love” he said calmly as he combed his fingers through her hair “the war will come to pass, I can feel it, the light will triumph over the dark as it has before”. The woman started to trace the mans muscles on his chest with her fingers as she replied “but without the Queen, we are having a hard time keeping the darkness away, you and I are only the protectors, we do not have the strength to defeat the darkness”.

“I know that you and I do not have enough strength, but with the help of the other races we will surely win”.

“But my love we are losing allies by the minute, those without pure hearts are starting to turn to the darkness faster than before, they know that the darkness is currently winning, and their fear is causing them to make those decisions recklessly”.  

“We have discussed this before, light shall triumph with enough faith, the time of the Queen is coming and soon the light shall gain strength from it”.

“I do not wish our daughter to be part of this”
The man stopped carding his fingers through her hair as he analyzed what she just stated. He looked at her with loving eyes, “My love, our daughter is the Queen, we need to accept and understand that her life will be put at risk, it is the sacrifice we must make to help the rest of the world”. The woman sighed as stepped away from his loving embrace and looked into his eyes “I know… But she is still only a baby, we cannot expect her to stop the dark at such a young age”.

“That is why she is under protection, we have several guards near her at all times along with us protecting her, she is completely safe until the day she gains her powers”.

“Yes but when He” she said the word with a hiss of her breath “discovers her existence, there will not be much we can do”.

“That is why we must keep her away from the world, our own little secret that shall not be revealed, she is safe for now my love, please do not fret”

As they were talking he had moved closer to his lover and mate, softly caressing her cheeks as he finished speaking, a smile flashed between the two of them as he brought her lips to hers. Their lips met with the same spark of passion and love that had been held between them for decades, each private moment between them during the war had not been taken for granted. The war had yet to tear them apart as their love for each other and for their daughter protected them from being entrapped by the darkness.

The man opened his eyes to take in the scene around him, the memory of his love fading back into his mind. The chaos of the spoken war surrounded him, threatening to engulf him and the entire world. His eyes were on the verge of tears as he looked down at the being that caused the memory to spring forward in his mind. The lifeless body of his lover lay before him, her soft features still the same as that night, but yet, still different, her face only showed a serene peace as her hair cascaded softly around her, the warm glow of her body softly diminishing as her spirit said its final goodbyes. The man softly touched her face as he forced by a cry of anger, his own soul feeling like it had been broken in half as he stared down at the woman he could no longer feel, touch… love.

“Huhuhu…”

The evil laughter spread across the battlefield as hope diminished swiftly  after the death of the woman. The man unwillingly took his eyes off of his lovers face to face the aura of evil in front of him, the cause of all the chaos and darkness plaguing the world.

“Looks like you have run out of options..” the voice whispered as the aura began to violently shake. “Your last hope is gone” it whispered again before an dark stillness overtook the aura.

The man brought his eyes back to his lover as he smiled at her serene features. “I will see you soon my love” his last words barely a whisper.

Then… the darkness came…
