chapter 1

The three mountains stood majestic , like the masters of the plains.

For a moment Rick forgot how to breath

"It's a breath taking veiw"

Rick laughed at himself, Rick dosen't have any interest in the moultain's veiw, being a bounty Hunter all he wanted to do is hunt some rare species .

But what made him come here from other end of world is the stories that he heard about the place,

Rick looked at Tom who was awestruck by the veiw

"Can you tell me that bed time story again"

Tom chuckled softly

"It's a legend, no no it's history yet to unvealed"

"legend is that these mountains represent the three kings who brought peace to titans, elementals and humans.

Titans, are known for their barbaric life and gaint size.

Elementals are known for their ability to control elements.

Humans are known for their creativity and technology.

At first these three kinds used to live in harmony , but soon they found difference between their ideologies and power.

It created a surge in everyone and finally elementals were treated as royals, humans treated as peasants, titans treated as slaves.

The civilization that existed , on such differences, perished quickly,.

The titans, humans, elementals, formed cults and lived in kingdoms of their own,

And started fighting each other.

In mid of this crisis, it's said that a king of elementals unlocked a forbidden technique powerful enough to conquer whole world,

He defeated titans, but before he can take over humans, the three kings killed him and used his power to create barriers between three kinds "

" It's too unreal, even for a story" Rick laughed,

Tom continued " this place is said to have the power, "

"Don't tell me we are here for that power!" Rick said, "no one sane will come looking for the power from a myth"

" we are not the only one looking for it my friend " Tom said

"Since ages humanity tried to find the power, but all expeditions met same fate"

Tom took a deep breath , and said

"Death"

"There is a saying that's popular in my village"

"To find it, follow the trail of blood ;

for it is the Lord of dead,

the only thing that it need is your blood

fear the name, the valley of dead"

The sun is raising and the mountains are like a wall between them and sun, as the dawn broke, Rick looked at the plains, with red bloosoms they looked so beautiful

"Hevean?" He thought, and looked towards Tom, he looked shocked

"B.. Bl...."

Tom wasn't able to speak for a moment , his whole body is shivering and Rick looked towards plain again

In the limelight he was able to see clearly,

There were no roses blooming, it was blood ,

"Hell" Rick murmured

It's not the most frightening thing, after the sun rose over mountains then they saw thousands of corpses and a thing that's feeding on them

It's no human, no beast, no monster, it's ...death

Rick ran away from plains but Tom was still in shock, Rick thought Tom was behind him, suddenly he heard a muufled voice

"save me"

He looked behind but tom was nowhere to find, the moment he turned back to run, it is infront of him.

"Lord of death" he thought

It was only history armor that was left untouched.
