The Blood Crown

Chapter I: The Beginning

When the world is still beset by greed and dark destruction, humanity has yet to unite to open a new era.

They gather just to find food and some others just to guard the territory but they are humans finally united when the darkness of the night haunts creatures created from despair and greed arises from behind the shadow of the darkness of the night, when even the light was not yet there humans were only hiding in a place they trusted.

The fear of the night haunts the people makes humans into cowards and where the beasts hunt and make humans as prey and at that time humans unite to eliminate the era without light.

The chosen person is crowned as the leader he is the first human who has a different mind than just eating and breeding and bring the foolish and hick into a group of ambitious, intelligent, intelligent people, and smart.

He is a human born of the Halvada tribe or tribe who live in the west where the darkness is more concentrated than other places where he was born where humans fight each other to just seize food or survive.

He was the first man to desire an era without darkness or an era without light, armed with the ability to survive in despair from birth he walked towards the top of leadership in his tribe.

He was also the first man to stop worshiping other creatures or worship something of form, accompanied by his comrades in arms he moved quickly, even though every step he went through was full of pools of blood.

He always tried to negotiate with every clan head in the region to join but if they refused only the sword and death could handle it.

Slowly he lifted the crown full of blood and became king in the new era of the "Light Era" he managed to build a magnificent and large empire which was filled with people who had the same vision and mission equipped with his own intelligence and strength and assisted by people who did not believe him a little more touching the golden era that is "Golden Era".

In addition, the first king was awarded the "Mark of Sun and Moon" or the sign of the moon and sun as a power given by the "Immortals" to him this sign is only owned by the chosen one and cannot be inherited, but which can only be passed on to the descendants of the king, namely science and physical abilities above other humans.

The sign of the sun and moon is a symbol of the majesty and glory those who have are the ones who are endowed with love by the world while for their followers get the "Mark Fire and Water" which signifies a symbol of strength for the owner of fire and a symbol of life for the owner of the water symbol.

Eternity is the desire of people, especially the king himself, but given the grace he gets a long life to survive the era without light they have to turn on the "Blue Fire Heart" or the heart of blue fire to drive away the darkness, the heart of blue fire can only be lit by the owner of the sign other than them the fire will not be able to go wrong.

Many things must be known that someone who has an immortal sign they can still be injured, exposed, sick and even die.

But when he wanted to touch that era, bad luck flooded him, because those behind him are greedy and thirsty for eternal power and wealth they poison the wise king who will create a new era.

And make the era of light to be back to the era of darkness, although the era of darkness returned but they have been prepared by the establishment of work and vast territory.

The first leadership was initiated by the king who ruled all the territory wisely but since his death the territory was divided equally by them, the people who accompanied the king were coup d'etat and killed, but to continue to appreciate the services of the king he was still buried honorably, thus the death of his young son's king, the young king, was raised as a symbol of the kingdom and became a puppet of those who called themselves nobles of the new era.

The death of the king was the new beginning of the ravages of the era that occurred, the power in the hands of the nobles and kings was only a sign that they were in the same place.

The new king was just a little boy who was easy to control and supervise even if the young king fought against he would only die and be replaced with someone similar to him.

That was the beginning of the era of destruction coming back, the creatures that once repulsed began to come back slowly devouring the light and making the night longer and the rain that kept coming the sign of destruction began to approach, a bright light that keeps everyone safe and a peaceful night where there is no chaos and fear.

When the king died as if the sky was covered with dark clouds and rain that soaked the surface of the ground, when the burial darkness came to seep like water coming out of a cracked wall, without them realizing they were also the ones who killed many of the sign owners and made only a few remaining people who could light the heart of the blue flame.

The people who used to sleep well are now beginning to fear but among the plagues will come a rescue, but the savior is always killed by the orders of the nobility, the children who have "Mark Sun and Moon" killed to keep their power in place while the Owners of the "Mark Fire and Moon" are ordered to be the guardians of the heart of blue fire.

In the darkness of the royal palace where the nobles gathered were seen seven people sitting on chairs that had been available with slightly dim lights and only the light from the windows as lighting, they were the ones who betrayed the first king, those who became traitors lost the "Mark of True Lord" or the real king mark given by the one who helped the owner of "Mark Sun and Moon" but those who betrayed lost the sign and they were given a new sign, the "Mark of Betrayal" in exchange for their greed for the late king.

Those who bear the "Mark of Betrayal" mark are the natural enemies of the Owner of "Mark Sun and Moon" and so the traitors kill all children who have the birthmarks of the sun and moon.

In the room they discussed how they would organize the world they had gained even though what they knew was not what they imagined, what they imagined, they felt that the place they had only owned them when behind the cliff in the east there was another vast plain, in the west there was a forest of darkness, and, the southern part of the waterfall is eternal because the water never runs out there also holds a lot of mystery, and the last part is north with black canyons, black canyons, because the position of the kingdom is in the center of the continent and there is no transportation that allows to explore the sky they only know what they see and know, even though the continent they occupy is very broad.

One of the men said from behind the darkness "How did it go, were all the owners of the sign killed?".

"The knights have killed every child born bearing a sign" one of them replied.

"It's a good thing that the sign only appears when the new child is born, if it appears randomly then it will harm us" answers from others.

After a short conversation the men left their room and of the seven only two people were left sitting.

"What do you think is the best choice to kill the king?", he sat down holding a glass filled with wine and gulped it down.

"The thing that happened could not be repeated the king had died and his son was a substitute even though it was the wrong way" he answered a question from his sitting friend.

Sipping once more a glass of wine then he said, "The dark era returns when the king dies, I think after the king brings to the light era then the dark era will be completely gone, the dark era will be completely gone, but the dark era is coming back".

He tilted his head slightly and answered again, while his hands were crossed near his mouth and covered him, "Well that's true but it's a good thing the blue flame heart guard sign holder still exists and it can make us survive the dark era".

Putting the wine glass on the table, he said, "It's a good thing we don't slaughter everything if we kill all the sign holders we'll also get into some pretty serious trouble".

"That's what I predicted and planned because I looked and figured out what the function of each sign was" he replied.

Moving from his seat he slowly walked away from the room filled with only two people, "I hope the future plan will be better, because we have a curse sign from the late king".

The man left the room and the sound of the door opening and slowly closing back.

"I'll make sure everything goes according to what we're planning" he saw the man walk out of his room until when the open door closed again.

He stood up from his seat and slowly left the room and walked through the corridor of the palace and slowly headed out, there he had been awaited by a horse-drawn carriage and guardian knights who would take him back to his private mansion.

After the servant came, he gave an umbrella and bowed, and the noble took an umbrella and walked to the chariot accompanied by his knight, and on the other side of the chariot were four knights in front and back the carriage to guard, one of the charioteers opened the door and the master entered, his umbrella taken and placed next to the coachman's place, the knight who accompanied the road in the rain rode on his horse and carried his horse to the front of the horse-drawn carriage, and the coachman ran the chariot out of the palace.

The murder of newborn children has been carried out for almost five years by the royal forces against children born with the sign, not only were the children born by the mark of their parents who resisted being killed and even some villages were burned after that the place was abandoned and at worst the village was attacked again by a dark creature who was being there, not only from evil beings is also done by fellow humans.

In a village that slaughtered one of the knights who had seen hundreds of lives drift from the sight of his eyes, his gaze was empty with a sword in his hand as if he felt like he was insignificant when he took a little child from his mother and killed the child's parents for fighting back, countless times he bathed the blood of innocent people.

"Until I had to do this cruel thing, I had done it over and over until I had forgotten how many lives I had taken" he said loudly until his other friend heard, until he dropped his knee on the ground.

One of the knights took hold of his shoulder and shook his shoulder vigorously, saying, "Peace thyself, this is the order our kingdom must do".

The knight finally realized thanks to the words of his friend, he rose from the fall while holding a sword, he walked back and brought the people who were against the king's orders, he said, those who resisted were considered traitors and their rebels were carried away by means of chained hands and pulled by horses.

Even the truth about the sign was manipulated by the nobles they said that those who had sun and moon signs were symbols of destruction which instead was a symbol of the bearer of light and life, they were citizens who were considered rebels they were dragged and taken.

Somehow there is always a rainy and cloudy season that sometimes the sun does not come and show its light to people.

"Fast step you, you rebel, you think that by fighting you will be safe, if only you give your child, you can move on", it was the knight who attracted people with horses.

"Whether we had the wrong child and protected him, were we wrong just to take care of our baby" said a father whose son was forcibly taken by the knights.

One of the knights was angry and immediately kicked the stomach of the man who said that until he fell to the ground, after that he got off the horse and immediately walked towards the man and hit the face of the fallen man until the jaw of the man shifted "You think for reasons like we'll have mercy on you, those children are doom-bearers".

"Let him go we have to take him" another knight pulled his friend in the way not to hit the man.

"Take me off, cuuu. ", the knight spat at the fallen man and went back on his horse, "You're safe if this isn't the order to bring you here to die".

After several kilometers of their village resting near the forest for a while to fill some supplies, the knight consisted of 1 captain, 2 guards, and 18 trained knights, respectively, while they brought about 50 villagers and some others were executed on the spot.

There may be a time when someone thinks why the 50 men did not fight not because they are not able but because they have been tied with chains and what they are fighting is a well-trained army with complete weaponry and high survival ability that allows large numbers can not fight.

When they divided the duty of captain and two guards and eight knights guarding the rebels and ten other knights gathered supplies, they divided up the task of collecting water and food and they also rested horses and prisoners.

The two knights were taking water near the river the river water looks quite deep although it looks a little murky but can still be drunk because the water will be filtered, one of the two men walked back because he heard a voice while his friend was busy fetching water, but at an unexpected moment quickly the knight who took the water was attacked by a fish mutation creature and swallowed and brought into the river while his friend immediately turned around and immediately took a standby position.

He had prepared to attack with the horses defending but he felt his body suddenly limp and hard to move and slowly his sight became myopic he spewed blood from his mouth and he looked down clearly a hand passed through and pierced his chest and there was an object that was quite familiar he saw that it was his own heart that had been grasped.

"Your lowly creatures dare to enter this forest as you like what you think with the heart of blue fire we do not dare to do anything, the answer is wrong", the creature was black and wore a high-statureed Jirah and red eyes in a suit of armor he was a "Death Knight" a death knight who served the "Lord of Darkness and Death".

After that he squeezed the heart to pieces and the blood from the broken heart scattered and scattered while he then threw the body of the knight into the river to be eaten by mutant fish, he walked into the forest with a dense death aura all over his body.

The other knight who was assigned to go to the forest is looking for supplies and the two men have not returned, "Where are the two knights assigned to take the water", the captain asked the others as they said they did not know it made him feel deep suspicion until he came to his senses.

"Thanks to your weapons seem to us to be surrounded", after the remark a dark black pendang darted and pierced the heart of one of the guards and he instantly died on the spot, the death knight walked slowly out from behind the trees and looked at them, he stood behind one of the alert knights.

"The lowly creature returned to the ground", after which the knight of death beheaded the knight.

He was a knight whose head was cut off in a place thrown like a fruit pulled from a stalk he saw his own body before his fist fell on the ground and his body fell down, "The knight of death's attack", said the knight captain.

The remaining troops moved forward and ran but from the side of the beast "Night Wolf" breaking through and jumping with wide open mouth and sharp teeth biting the two knights and making them hit the side, while the other knights managed to block the bite and some managed to kill the wolf.

"Kill them wolves" said the knight of death as he walked towards the knights while the chained men tried to remove the chains that bound his hands, but they also became the food of the other wolves because they were all surrounded, some people who managed to open the chain immediately ran but they were chased and preyed on by the wolves.

The captain was directly faced with the death knight who made each other sword fighting inevitable on the other side some knights faced with the wild wolves as well as some knights who died and as for the wounded followed by the people they brought.

"You better go with them to hell" said the knight captain who tried to slash the head of the death knight.

While the knight of death casually dodged every attack that went to him, "The weaklings show your pride and superior hahahaha".

Some time was missed clearly the knights and the inhabitants were slaughtered and only the captain was left, although many night wolves were slaughtered, he was exhausted "Are you still strong", said the knight captain but there was no call from behind him as he spoke while he was still clashing his sword he looked back.

But alas he had been pierced by the black long sword that pierced through his stomach "Don't direct your gaze when you fight", said the knight of death he pulled out the sword that was stuck from the body of the knight's captain and then held his head and raised the knight's captain quite high.

"Kill me fast, you think you'll look great by playing me?", said the knight captain but the dark knight just laughed and replied with a grin "The interesting thing about their weak creatures at the last moment is that they feel that they are still strong".

He threw the knight captain with his hand to throw the knight captain's body into the trees and make a body that floated stopped after hitting the trees with a stiff body and unable to move because the backbone was broken being hit by the trees he was unable to move and the death knight slowly left and a pack of night wolves approached the seated knight captain who was unable to move.

The captain was eaten alive by a pack of wolves in his hallucination he met his family, "I'm home" he murmured as his limbs were eaten alive by wolves, he actually also regretted the massacre of the citizens and children but because of his obligation he did so.

Two options for them to be slaughtered by the creatures of darkness or slaughtered by the knights if they resisted they would die, whether they were guarding their child or subjecting to the rules, were they, those who did not fight them survived, but those who resisted them were executed.

The knights of darkness also began to actively roam outside the western forest and several other creatures, including, humans who are from outside the kingdom or who are not included in the care of the seven nobles can only resign with the protection as is from the knights who sometimes knights and adventurers also become squeezers and criminals there, they can only trust themselves rather than others who will not necessarily help them.
