Shadows of Vengeance
In the kingdom of Riknashi, in the village of Rakoku, there was a helpful, tall boy named Kai with black hair and blue eyes. Kai was known for his willingness to help anyone in need. However, one day, when the village was attacked, he used his magic to fend off the invaders. When his mana ran out, he drew his sword and continued fighting the monsters. Unfortunately, he was bitten on the arm by a goblin. The villagers, frightened by this, subdued him and imprisoned him in a storage room. There, they mistreated him and inflicted suffering upon him.
Kai: "What the hell did I do to deserve this?"
Village Leader Muras: "Shut up, you troublemaker..."
Some time later, Kai managed to escape unnoticed and began walking towards the forest. "I'll make them pay for this," he vowed angrily. "Ah, a damn cave," he said, finding shelter in a nearby cave. It wasn’t comfortable, but at least he was free from his previous suffering.
Years passed, and Kai trained hard every day to become stronger. "My food and water are running low, and I need to find flint. My clothes are in tatters," he mumbled as he noticed a wolf lying on the ground. The wolf had black fur and blue eyes, and it appeared to be intelligent and loyal.
Kai: "Is this a shadow wolf? Shadow wolves are very rare and usually travel in packs; they are the strongest wolf breed, and some can even speak human languages."
Wolf: "Please... help..."
Kai carried the wolf into the cave and did everything he could to ensure its survival. The wolf managed to recover.
Kai: "Why were you alone? Your kind usually travels in packs."
Wolf: "I had to flee because my pack turned against me..."
Kai: "I understand... I too..."
Kai named the wolf Kaze, and they became a team. They hunted monsters, sold the materials they collected, and managed to buy food with the proceeds.
A week or two later, while on another adventure, they came across a woman crying under a tree. She had white hair and blue eyes, and was trying to cover herself with her hands.
Kai: "Kaze, let’s help this woman. Our team could use another member."
Kaze: "Alright, as you wish."
They approached the woman.
Kai: "Here, take these clothes..." he said, trying not to look.
Woman: "Why are you helping me?"
Kai: "First, I don’t give a damn about your past. Second, I’m not a hero."
Woman: "I used to work in a brothel. People like me are often considered enemies by heroes."
Kai: "I don’t judge based on your past. And I’m not a hero."
Woman: "Hello, I’m Shiro."
Kai: "I’m Kai, and this is Kaze."
Kaze: "I’m Kaze."
Shiro: "Wait, a wolf spoke? Is this a shadow wolf?"
Kaze: "Yes, that’s right."
The three of them returned to the cave as night fell. A month later, they finished building a wooden house.
Kai: "Finally, we have a home!"
Shiro: "Yes..." During this time, Kai and Shiro grew closer.
They found a baby fire dragon at their doorstep, which they cared for and named Ryuu.
During one of their adventures, Ryuu and Kaze gained the ability to transform into human forms. Kaze became a tall man with gray hair and blue eyes, while Ryuu transformed into a tall woman with red hair.
Five years later, the group had taken their revenge and established a kingdom. The rulers of this kingdom were Kai, Shiro, Kaze, and Ryuu. They achieved immortality after a war. Their son, Arthur, was ten years old, and Kaze and Ryuu's daughter was also ten.
The kingdom was controlled by Kai's shadow soldiers and became both the most powerful and most feared kingdom. They engaged in various illicit activities.
The other four nations, unable to tolerate this, convened a meeting.
In a grand hall, the leaders of the four nations gathered, their faces grave with concern. King Aldric of the north, Queen Elara of the south, Emperor Hiroshi of the east, and Sultan Zahir of the west sat around a large table.
King Aldric: "We can't let this shit continue. Kai's kingdom is getting out of control. We need to do something."
Queen Elara: "Agreed. They've been terrorizing our people, and their black market dealings are ruining our economies."
Emperor Hiroshi: "Kai and his damn shadow soldiers are a menace. We need a plan to take them down."
Sultan Zahir: "We must unite our forces and strike swiftly. This madness has to end."
Meanwhile, back in Kai's kingdom, he stood on a balcony overlooking his realm. Shiro, Kaze, and Ryuu stood beside him.
Kai: "Let them come. We'll crush anyone who dares to challenge us."
Shiro: "They won't know what hit them."
Kaze: "Our shadow soldiers are unmatched. Those fools don't stand a chance."
Ryuu: "We'll protect our kingdom, no matter the cost."
As the four nations prepared for war, the tension in the air was palpable. The fate of the land hung in the balance, and a storm of conflict was about to unleash its fury.
