Chapter 1: The General of Darkness
The desert fell silent.
Only the wind swept across the endless dunes.
Malgrim rested his massive black sword on his shoulder and looked at the five heirs.
"So... these are the chosen successors of the Primordial Gods."
His voice was calm, yet it carried overwhelming power.
Ryker stepped forward, flames igniting around his fists.
"If you're looking for a fight..."
"You've found one."
Without another word, Ryker charged.
"Ryker, wait!" Kael shouted.
BOOM!
Ryker's flaming punch collided with Malgrim's sword.
A powerful shockwave blasted across the desert, sending sand flying into the air.
For a moment, neither of them moved.
Then...
Malgrim smiled.
"Not bad."
With a single swing of his sword, Ryker was thrown backward across the sand.
"Damn..." Ryker muttered as Darius caught him.
"He's incredibly strong."
Varok laughed.
"We warned you."
Kael stepped forward and summoned emerald vines from beneath the sand.
The vines shot toward Malgrim, wrapping around his legs.
"Now!" Kael yelled.
Zane released a wave of destruction energy while Elias slowed time around Malgrim.
The combined attack struck him head-on.
A cloud of sand covered the battlefield.
Everyone waited.
As the dust settled...
Malgrim was still standing.
Not a single scratch marked his armor.
"So this..."
Malgrim said calmly,
"...is the strength of the heirs."
He pointed his sword toward the ancient stone gate.
"You are not ready to face the darkness."
Suddenly, the gate began to glow with a bright golden light.
Ancient symbols lit up across its surface.
The ground trembled beneath everyone's feet.
Elias looked at Kael.
"The temple..."
"It's opening."
Both the heirs and the Eclipse Covenant turned toward the gate as the massive stone doors slowly began to move.
RUMBLE...
Whatever was waiting inside...
Had finally awakened.
To Be Continued...
