My Story
Who am I? I am an Egyptian worrior from long ago...My eyes are a symbol of my brutal ways. For after each battle, I would go to each and every dead enemy worrior and take there eyes, so they would forever walk the underworld blind. And so everyone else in the underworld would know who they were..the fools who thought they could defeat the Egyptian Empire. Tho I was just a worrior, i was worshipped like a god. The army I followed never knew my secret. I wasn't a human. Nor was I a decendant from one of the Great Spinx. I was and forever will be a demon. Sent from the Underworld to make sure people suffered for worshipping the heavins. which is why i chose a human form, and a powerful army.
from my rule to my battle with the three Great Sphinx, which lead to my death, I was known for taking innocent lives, and sending my enemies to hell!.
After being killed by the Great Shpinx, I was sent into a drak tunnel, between the Heavens and the Underworld. While I was traveling threw the tunnel, I thougth i would end up in the Underworld, where my master awaited me, so he could punish my failure. But, to my surpise, I awoke in the Heavens, only to learn my newest assignment. Many demons have broke in and were tormenting the angles. The Gods could not destroy them becuase of there Demonic Ora, which could not be broken by a god. and the other mortals werent strong enough to defete the beasts. So the only way to banish the demons from the Heavens was to take a mortal whom was not blessed by the gods, to wear the angleic armor, and defete the demons who threatin the Gods. It was my fate to take these demons on. And I will never for get the battle.
Because I had died, I had no weapons, so as a favor, the Gods allowed me to weild one of there most powerful weapons, The Luner sickle. Which made everything a whole lot easyer. As I cut threw the demons, I realized that some of these monsters were solders from the same egyptian army, and were killed in battle. The had all come seeking infinite power and control of the sphinx. I slaughterd every last demon there..except for one, the leader of the demonic army, and once the leader of the egyptian army. he was strong, fast, and above all, smart. I faced him with every ounce of energy I had, but when I finnaly had the chance to destroy him, he changed into a much more powerful demon! Nearly infinite power, and a strong demonic ora, much stronget then my own,i thought it was over for me. But then i noticed somthing that may be his ultimate downfall. His demonic ora was not being protected by the underworld! Meaning the gods could now step in, and defete this demon. And thats exactly what they did! And after being beaten, the demon general was sentanced to a never ending torment. And as for me, I was resurrected by the gods to finish what I started, kill the three Great Sphinx!
And thats exactly what I did, Took them down with all my power!
Which was harder then it sounds.
It was after I had brought them down that the real problem had occured, because killing the egyptian gaurdian and sending him to the underworld was not what Lord Hades wanted. He got furious! and made a decision which he would later regret. He made a rift in the ground, ripping a whole in the world, and releasing the demons of hell. The Gods feared that this would be the end of the mortal world. And as more and more demons flew out, the more and more I realized that I was about to be in the fight of my life. Because out of the rift, came the Lord of the Underworld. Lord Hades blasted out of the rift riding a three headed beast. which I soon realized was the three Great Sphinx that I had just defeated. I had pulled out my sword and got myself ready, when out of the sky came two powerful beings. there was AOD or the Angel Of Death, and Merlinx. Merlinx was the leader of a team called the Bloodgods and AOD was part of it. They had only said one thing to me. "fight until were ready. you have what it takes." And so I looked at Hades, and the battle began. As AOD was charging his attack, Merlinx was having fun destroying the demons who escaped. I had to deal with Hades and the Sphinx. The beast shot flames at me and Hades had been chanting a spell to make the sphinx more powerful. I had attacked with my Slash of Dreams attack only to find that Hades had put up a Demonic Barrior around them both. All I could do was dodge the attacks and wait for AOD to be ready. And then out the the sky, fell a weapon from the Gods of Olympus. It was a powerful orb containing the power of the gods, and with it, came a demonic mirror, which is used to deflect any incoming attack and couldnt be broken by anything less then a God of great spiritual power. There for hades couldnt destroy it. I charged at him with all my power and when he attacked I used the mirror, which didnt help due to the barrior. I relased my sword once more and noticed it was glowing blue. It spoke to me, saying that I had to use the move knowen as the Baracata, AKA the Barrior Attack which splits threw any barrior and leaves it down for a full 2 minutes. which gave me enough time to use the Slash of Dreams attack!
The powerful attack ripped the heads off of the Sphinx and had knocked Hades off. now it was just me and the Master of Darkness himself. My eyes lit up, remembering somthing from my past. when I died from the Sphinx, I had a weapon which i had gotten in the Desert of Lost soals. from a man who was wearing a wolf cloak. He gave me a weapon that he had made from his own bones. I never caught his name but he said he was killed by a dog demon with his brother and his friends. this was of no interest to me but I told him that I will avenge his death. and so I went on to face the sphinx with this sword made of bone. Remembering that made me wonder where the weapon is now.
Hades had gotten back up and was ready to fight. But I didn't have to, Because AOD was ready. He raised his weapon and fired a large beam which closed the rift and sealing off the underworld so that hades could not escape so easliy. and then he used a technic which lit up his weapon and when he struck Hades, he had banished his soal into the netherworld, which is different from the underworld. The Netherworld is controled by an all powerful demon who hated Hades and locked his soal away, to be tortured for ten thousand years. It was over, and we Had won. I looked back and noticed that AOD and Merlinx were both gone but they left a message. "Welcome to the Bloodgods." I had been invited into there team. And from the sky, The Gods descended from the Heavens. Zues came forward, and looked at Me. "You have the power of a God and had been accepted to the toughest team anyones ever knowen. I am proud of you, and thankful to now call you my Brother." I looked at him with big eyes, and sayed, "What do you mean by that? Your brother?" He noded, then smiled and told me that since Hades is gone, and they will miss him so. There is an empty spot in the Underworld, and he wants me to fill it. I told him that I would be honored to become the new Lord of the Underworld.
Now protected my Cerberus and the rest of my demon army, I had another thing to take care of, but it can wait.
50 LONG YEARS LATER...
Its been a long time since I had become the Ruler of the Underworld, but I will never forget that day.
I move on to 10 years after that day, to another day. The day I was put agianced the Barbarians. It may sound easy, being that I am the Lord of Eternal Darkness, But its not like that, because they had a leader that I did not want to battle. My own brother, Aires, the God of War. He helped me with my job as I helped him. He would kill the men who were wanted, and anyone else who stood in the way, and sent them to me. And in return, I gave him any power and abilities the victoms would have. Which is why I did not want to face him, I was not yet ready to take on my own brother. There was only one other way. I had to make the worriors betray Aires, so he would leave them to fend for themselves. At that time which I'd strike. Now the reason I had this assignment was because Aires threatend Olympus. And Zues had forbidden anyone in the heavens to start a war with him. It was up to me. If he dies at my hands, he is sent to me and I can touture his soal with no possible problems. But I couldn't do it. So I stuck with my plan, and I waited. I caused all sorts of problems and soon enough, they commanded that Aires go. He left with only one thing to say. "You will all die because of you choice. Be certain of that!" And now was my time. Right before there eyes, a flame arose and created a burning gate. and out of the gates of hell, came I. They bowed to me thinking I was there to command them, but I had a better idea. As I drew my weapon, one man sayed to me, "that was a foolish mistake." and in that instant, all of the Barbarians drew there weapons and took stance. I laughed in there faces, underestmating the ruithless agression and raw power they actualy possesed. as they charged, I easily destroyed the first wave, but to my surprise, were brought back as un-dead solders. Because I was not in the Underworld to claim there soals, they were rejected from the gates and sent back. which was quite a problem. so I found a solution. I summoned my gardian Cerberus, and the dreaded Minotor, with his Cenotar army. I also took the extra step and realesed my mighty Hydra. and they had a plan as well. but I had left to quickly to realize with a problem that could be. I watched from the Underworld as they pulled out over 50 cages, containing Gorgons. and in the larger box, Medusa. My minions did not stand much of a chance so also sent up a group of my own un-dead sevants. who used to be in the Spartan army. and a few from the Egyptian. They fought valiantly when i realized both our armies were evenly matched, but I has the advantge. For when one of my beasts or worriors were killed, I could send them back stronger. untill i finaly won. but that was just the begining. I had noticed that many Athenians were dying. I took a look only to find that Aires had an apprentice. who would soon become the new God of War. He was a former captain in the Spartan, who had nearly lost in a battle with the Barbarians from the East. Who were more powerful then the ones I fought. As i watched this man destroy, I had found that he was secretly planing to kill Aires, and make him pay for the death of his family. withing a week, Kratos had found the all powerful, Pandora's Box. Inside was power beyond all imagination. The power more powerful then most gods. He had used this power to become my new brother, and the New God of War. which saved me a lot of trouble. Because then I had Aires, places in eternal torture. That was one less mission I had to do.
and now that I think about it, I remember my very first assignment that was very difficult, The Great Titan War!
It was a cold morning. Late Fall. The trees were bare, And frost was just barley nipping the grass. I had stationed 500 of the finest Un-dead archers that had ever graced the underworld in the surrounding trees and bushes. Outside of the forest were 1000 of my best worriors. Not to mention the underworlds gardian, Cerberus. I had placed a man in the underworld to open the gets to the dead and close them to the living. I was ready for a war. Gaia, The mother of the Titans andthe everpresent mother of Earth. and all of her sons were approching. I waited in the forest to get the first strike aginced the Titans worriors, the Mermidans, along with the Trojans and Alkidians. It was the fearcest living army to ever be joined as one. I awaited the signal that the other gods were ready and awaiting by the worriors. I heard there army moving into the forest and I started my way back to the troops, I gave the command to open fire. The seized to enter the forest and on the other side was the largest un-dead army in the land. In fact its the only un-dead army. I released the blade, whistled, and in an instant, all the archers came out of the forest back to us. I took one big slash and cut down all the trees and every bush. I yelled for my men to attack and as fast as they could, they were off. The battle went well, and the Gods thought I had it under control so they left, but they did give me a little help. From out of the sky came another member of the Bloodgods, A man named dude_ninja. He released his blades and began to attack. He was very fast and agile, and whipped out many enemy troops. But they just seemed to just keep coming. I readied my blade and used my slash of dreams and killed all of there men.
Then I saw the Titans. I waisted no time in attacking and banishing the first to look me in the eyes. And now DN was fighting off Atlas and Khronos. I took out my Chains of Torment and threw them at Khronos. The hooks caught onto his soal and I pulled in his power. I used this unlimited strength to take down atlas and I consumed his soal as well. I had sent both soals to different places of Banishment. The rest of the Titans went down the same way except for Gaia who seemed to vanish during the battle. It was over, and all that were left was me, DN, and cerberus. The Gods were pleased with our work and gave DN the power to travel and command his own 50 man Un-dead army. He also gained the ability to call Medusa and 5 gorgons. As for me, I was happy enough tourturing the Titans and those who fought for them.
Gaia was never found.
After that, DN asked if I would teach him some of what I know, in return, teach me somethings he knows.
He is currently in the prossess of learning the stages of the slash of dreams and how to control a larger army.
One day, While hanging out in AoD's bar, a man walked in and sat next to me. He didnt say anything to me, just slid over a small paper. He left without a word to anyone. I looked at the paper and read, "YOUR NAME IS SHANGRU" And in a flash, i knew who he was. "Thank you brother" i sayed quietly to myself. so now I am knowen as Shangru.
