Ronan was considered a false prophet trying to be a god.
A crazy fool who thought he could deceive others with his words, but in the end he was punished.
The gods had rewarded humanity with their lifeforce, a sacred treasure no mortal being should have.
It spread throughout all creation, creating species of creatures that never existed before.
It was power given form, a truly divine gift from the very beings that created them. In honor of the gods and their gift.
They named this power Aura! The gift from above. It manifested in all of creation, granting powers beyond immagination.
Some could control the very elements of nature, others could bring back the dead, some twist reality to their very will.
Was it a blessing, or was it a curse, that was a curse. That was unclear.
But what was clear gods had intended this to be a form of joy and entertainment to them. Watching as their creations played with a force beyond their understanding.
But what they hadnt anticipated is that the curse placed upon those who would receive it would actually manifest.
They could have taken away the curse but what fun would that be, they wanted to see what a single mans curse would do against the might of divinity itself.
And so, humanity continued to prosper, entering a new age.
590 years had passes since then...
The world has grown and expandes into multiple kimgdoms with multiple kings.
Aura has now become the foundation in everyday life.
It was the golden age of humanity, but not for all, cause when humans are given power beyond their own understanding, they tend to abuse it.
So walls where built and titles where given, Royals, Nobles, and commoners where introduced tp separate the strong from the weak....
Was this the curse Ronan had intended??, who knows really.....
Location : Slump Town
Population : 14, 971
Condition : Miserable
Title : Common Realm
In the streets of Slump town, hundreds roam the streets for a means to make a living.
Its a pool of sin and regret that no one wished to be bon in. Children rob and kill for money.
Women sell their bodies for little income, men work as cheap labor for the rich.
Parents sell their children into slavery get rid debt. Its hell on earth but there is no escape from it.
Location.: Some Alleyway.
Its a dark and damp area hidden away from the eyes of many. Only the sounds of footsteps of someone moving can be heard.
A young man is walking through. His eyes downcast, his shaking a bit, and almost falls face first.
He holds onto his side, greeting his teeth hard, he looks at his hand, covered in blood. He smiles and whips it on his shirt.
Behind him, a man screams his name out loud, alerting the community.
"Kid!!!! Get back here now!! (Coughs), you fucking snitch...ARTHUR!!!!!" The man says, lipping towards him.
The young man looks back with cold emotion, he straightens himself up and walks towards him.
"Shit..... i thought i dealt with all of you bastards... Sorry in advance." He says, rushing towards him.
He draws a kitchen knife from his pocket and stabs the man in the throat. Pinning him towards the ground.
The man tries to kick Arthur alway, but he pins him down further. He grabs Arthurs neck, trying to choke him.
But Arthur doesnt give up, he cuts the mans throat completely. "Im sorry, please forgive me." He says.
He stops moving Arthur collapses onto the ground, tired and injured.
He looks up as the rain starts to fall, he closes his eyes and embraces the feeling.
Slowly he gets up, coughing up blood a little. "Shit.... injured my kidney again." He says, holding onto his side.
He closes eyes to calm his nerves , the hand on his abdomen glows an erie solid black shadow. He takes a deep breath, and chants....
"Shadow Construction : Organ reconstruction.", the shadow enters his wound.
He coughs up more blood, partically bleeding more than before. He bites his lower lip, trying not to scream.
He breathes rapidly, walking straighter than before. He uses the dirty water to clean himself, its disgusting but it works.
He starts walking again, leaving the alleyway. The dim lit streets of Slump Town.
Nothing of interest is happening, no people in the streets as well.
Street lamps flicker in the rain.
Its calm, too calm. He knows something is wrong, but he doesnt have time to figure it out.
He has to deliver the 'package' to his contracter, after all thats his job of course. Taking jobs that any normal human being or other wouldnt take.
He walks up to a shop in an apartment complex," a Food Store, strange meeting place but okay." He says, entering the place.
Inside is warm and well decorated, at the counter stands a Old man, probably in his late 70s.
Arthur walks towards him, wipping his nose abit before speaking. "Excuse, can i get the Nobles Special." He orders.
The old man nods and orders the woman behind to start cooking. He tells Arthur to grab a new shirt from the box.
He smiles but refuses ," thanks but im okay, i know how these things end." He says not clearly explaining what he means.
The old man simply nods and tells him to take a seat and wait for his meal. Arthur takes a seat by the corner of the restaurant.
He taps his feet, not from impatience but nervousness. About 20 minutes pass and the old man brings his food.
"Here you go Sir." He says, placing the food on the table.
Arthur thanks him and starts eating, its been a long time since his eaten something or anything this delicious in a long time.
Soon, two individuals arrive, one a man, the other a woman with red hair , and then a third. The third one is well dressed and better put together.
The other two stand beside the third individual. He sits across Arthur, his facial expression calm but serious.
"Are you the boy they call Arthur." The man asks.
Arthur swallows his foods and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. "Yeah, thats me, but dont call me by my name please." He says.
The man nods, and proceeds."Very well,i assume you have what i ordered." He says, leaning back.
"Yeah, i do. And do you have the money?", he says, eating loudly.
The man snapped his fingers, ordering the one of them to present a chest of treasure before him.
"I hope this is the full 1000 coins??." Arthur asks.
"No only 500, the rest will come when you hand over the my package." He says.
Arthur sighs and reaches into his pocket. "Alright, here you go." He says, handing over the package.
The man hands over the rest of the coins to Arthur, he takes it and starts getting ready to leave.
"Pleasure doing business with you, Sir." He says, bouncing as he walks away.
As he walks into the dim streets of Slump Town. He feels like something is following him.
He turns to the near by alley, acting like his unaware. His footsteps echo through the quiet place.
He drops his money, and bends down to pick it up. Then something fast approaches him from behind, he reacts in time and catches the attacker.
"Seriously dude, why cant ypu people be trusted." He says. Holding the hand of the man that tried to kill him.
Its one of the indivuduals from the restaurant. "Boss's orders. No had feelings." He says tripping Arthur over.
Arthur falls to the ground, the man raises his weapon aiming from Arthur's head. "Good night....boy." he says
"Shit. Cant dodge....." he says, closing his eyes. But the attack doesnt reach, it never does.
Arthur opens his sees the man bleeding badly, a hole in his chest. He falls over landing on the ground.
Infront of him stands the other individual, she straddles his hips before Arthur could react. Her red hair bright in the dark night sky.
"Arthur was it...well im Alex.....we meet back at the restaurant...anyway i need your help." She says sweetly.
Arthur lays there confused and shocked.
