So in response to Vilarcane's amazing CaS interpretation of my story I sent him I am going to post the first chapter(P.S. This is set before the snippet I sent Vilarcane so its all new). I am in no way an amazing writer or storyteller so this is my way of telling the story without trying to be crazy boring. I will post an OLD picture of my SCIV CaS(When this chapter takes place) because I have nothing else to take it with(My next CaS pictures will be better I promise haha). Please feel free to leave HONEST feedback. Don't like it? Hate it? Let me know and why you think that way. So without further delay, The first chapter
Ater’s Story
1.- The beginning of a journey
Ater walked up the circling stairs of the immense tower with only one thing in mind. The past. Since he was a child he had enjoyed martial arts and weapons far more than any other child at the large castle he lived in at the time. Ater grunted to himself as he thought back to those times.-I don’t need those memories- After all, He had forsaken the place he once called home to roam the world in search of his father who had left to help in the wars against Soul Edge.
He left his home at the age of 14 only to find the world to be filled with cruel, unforgiving people and demonic creatures. Once during his journey he was caught in a city as it was under siege by the fabled and legendary monster, the Azure Nightmare. He ran from the burning buildings through the streets until he came into an opening. With a sword bigger than himself raised in the air and a demonic light emanating from it, the massive horned creature devoured the souls of the knights standing to oppose him. Ater fell to his knees not in despair but in amazement of the truly awesome power that Nightmare contained. Nightmare slowly walked over to Ater and raised his massive sword overhead preparing to bring it down. Ater closed his eyes as the sword began to fall…Only for him to hear the sound of the sword clashing against steel.
He looked up to see a large dark skinned man with an also massive scythe blocking the sword. The man repelled Nightmares sword back into the air then quickly made a gesture with his hand creating a circular magic wall blocking Nightmares way. In an instant he turned around, picked up Ater, and started running back towards where Ater had come from. After a minute or so of running he set Ater down and looked at him “This is no place for a chi-“ He stopped and looked into Ater’s left eye with his own mysterious golden one as if reading his very soul. “I see… very strange things in your future boy. Today is not your day to die.” He walked closer to Ater and extended his arm holding out his scythe, “I had planned on returning and confronting Nightmare, but something told me you should have this. You are not like others. Even some of the strongest warriors in the world cower in fear before Nightmare and you didn’t even bat an eye. I don’t know your story child but with this you might make your own one day.” Ater took the scythe, Eyes wide in confusion over the fact that not even two minutes ago he was standing face to face with the legendary Nightmare of the end and now he was receiving a strange scythe from an even stranger man with a golden eye.
Before he could even begin to try and say his awkward response the man knocked him unconscious and set him off to the side in one of the buildings that was not yet destroyed. “That kid would have tried to catch another glimpse of Nightmare…No doubt in my mind. I do not know what the future holds for this one but it won’t be any average tale to tell.” With that the man walked out into the street and started towards Nightmare once again.
Ater shook his head as he continued his ascent up the tower. Unusually large scythe in hand.
