Shuene awakens at some point throughout the journey to the war zone. He has a feeling in his heart that they are close. This is the final day of the trip, and everyone is in a panic, Shuene sits up and stretches, a small vibration on the floor lets him know he is not alone. He "looks" forward not that it does any good. He walks to the door and turns one more time, looking directly at whoever is in the room, then leaves. He at this point knows that wasn't his room and due to the scent of the person, it was a woman's room. Shuene walks and finds the elevator after much guidance and many hours. He eventually arrives in his own room, and walks in, looking up. That healing bay, what if it could help him, right now. Shuene feels around for a button, and his hand strikes it, then he gently pushes it and the lid hits his head. He backs up, rubbing his skull and reaches up for one of the two handles he remembered being in the pod. He grabs it and pulls himself up and eventually is snug in the pod, after a short vibration and a small tap to his foot, he almost begins to hear noises, and he can say words once again, but the pod breaks. The only thing it was able to do was bring back his voice and a very small amount of hearing, almost insignificant. He walks out of the room, and Lilli is standing in front of him, he greets her and she embraces him.
He can feel tears touching his shoulder, she is crying, why would she be crying? The ship stops and Lilli takes Shuene's hand in hers and pulls him along, they arrived. They walk for about 20 meters then they stop and he bumps into her lightly. They air around them changes and he can feel a hot wind, the drop bay is open, and he is pushed out of the ship, but Lilli is holding him, so that he won't just splat the ground, seeing as how he has no idea of when to pull a chute. They land and the ground shakes every second, the whole demon army is here, and they are ready for the bloodshed ahead. Shuene runs off, without sight or hearing, he can just sense where he is heading. Right to Heisa, and right under the army's nose. He eventually arrives at a cold metal surface, the bottom of the citadel.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 4
The simulation ends, and Shuene takes a step and then collapses into darkness. It could be the end for our hero. A dark realm, nothing but bitter blackness stands before Shuene. A voice echoes across the plain flat surface. "Failure, a nothing, worthless, not even classified as a human you monster. Death is all that awaits you where you are going, and those who you think of as friends will betray you and kill you. Run away and hide you coward, await death to find you. You may think you could die with honor but no one would ever think of you as honorable. You are nothing but the offspring of a once great race, the son of a disgraceful whore." The voice repeats a total of 4 times, then a loud ringing starts for what feels like hours. It pushes Shuene into the fetal position and he covers his ears as blood starts to come out of several areas of his face, and ears. Death once appeared to the young boy but never had it been so intent on stealing him away from the world.
The loud ringing reaches the real world and awakes several nearby crew members of the ship, and they rush in and grab Shuene and bring him to the medical bay. When he awakes he can neither see nor hear any words. The grasp of death has taken his sight and his hearing, he tries to call out but no words come forth. His voice was taken away from him also. The chief medical officer come closer and realizes he has no way to talk to Shuene. So the boy gets up and walks off, stumbling and falling every few feet. He eventually reaches a door he believes to be his own and opens the latch, he walks in and it feels further to the bed then he thought it would be. He lays down but the bed doesn't feel right, almost as if someone was there recently, but he drifts off anyways. Later the door opens but he doesn't notice due to the lack of senses, Lilli walks in and stares at Shuene for a short time before leaving her own room once again. The truth was that they had rooms in the exact same spot but hers was on the floor of the medical bay while his was the lowest floor of the ship.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 3
The chance of this being as easy as level 3 is long gone yet this is the final wave. It begins but this time the enemy simply fuses into one another until 3 intimidating figures walk slowly toward him. The pick up speed and flash around almost above Shuene's own speed, and all strike, it takes Shuene off guard and he flies backward. He stands up, and quickly runs toward the biggest one and takes his neck by force and guides his head to a new suitor somewhere in the river. The other two looked enraged by this act, and bulk up and move faster, a hit to the stomach nearly causes him to black out and one to the face nearly sends his head to the same place as the other one. He stands up and punches right through the chest of the second, nearly breaking his hand in the process. The third grabs Shuene and breaks his spine, the simulation ends, times up, Shuene stand in the room.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 2
So the thought runs through his mind for a little while, and he realizes he could either fight and win or fight and die, but with the odds being about 96:1, he stands little to no chance at all. Shuene asks, "Is there an option I don't know about?". Lilli replies saying he could ask to be dropped off here and find his way from here, but it isn't a good idea since they are nearing the edge of Demon Valley, the valley that no mortal has ever been in, and few have been above and lived. To Shuene it sounds like he can either fight and die, or run and fall, and as it seems fit, he owes the 5 great ones this one last act of courage, and he must rescue Deus somehow, some way. Shuene knows little about the Demon's and their weakness, but he knows less about the people on this ship. He returns to his quarters and turns on the Training simulator. A voice echoes in his mind, "Welcome to this ship's built in trainer, the 5 modes are as follow, level 1, for a quick exercise, level 2, for a slightly trained soldier, level 3, for some of the higher up fighters, level 4, for the best of the best. Level 5 is currently not safe for mortals as it has never been lived through."
To Shuene, level 5 sounds like a challenge to his strength, and he decides by the time they exit this ship he must be able to conquer it. He begins with level 3, it isn't too difficult, although it isn't quite easy either, it takes a lot more out of him then he was expecting. He finishes up with a near perfect score, only points taken away for letting some enemies get away. He knows he is higher up for sure now, but tomorrow, level 4 is the test, and he isn't in the highest spirits on getting through it without ending up burnt out. In the middle of the night Shuene awakes in a cold sweat, the same nightmare again. He tries to get back to bed but simply can't, so he stands and walks to the machine, level 4 begins. He isn't quite fully refueled yet but if he can't be amazing on limited energy, then level 5 will never be done. He begins and the first few waves like in level 3 are just warm ups, small little guys, nothing major. But where level 3 went to more difficult, level 4 kept the same enemies. Something must have changed Shuene believes, but he can't tell what.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 1
Shuene is guided to a door in the back of the ship, it emits a blue light and it traces the entirety of him. A simple machine, DNA tracking to keep out intruders. The door slides open and Lilli points into the darkness, a training simulator sits in the corner, a bed in the other, and on the ceiling a pod, for healing is the common guess but never have they been used due to the tricky upside down layout of the pod. The door closes and Shuene is left inside, to sleep until the next day, when the week long journey to the Demon Gate begins. Whilst asleep a nightmare invades Shuene's mind, he will lose everything, and a fog rises, then falls revealing everyone dead, and him the killer. Shuene awakes in a cold sweat with no idea what this vision means.
Interrupted by knocking at the door Shuene walks out to see a row of soldiers at the end of his sights taking orders. Shrouder leads him to the site and Lilli is briefing the troops. In and out, a simple mission, only about 5 generals are estimated to be within distance to join the fight. Break through the gate and cover Shuene as he makes way to the Pinnacle of Souls. Simple enough if Shuene can even beat Heisa let alone make it to the tower.

Tale of Shuene Book 1
Ever since I was about 7, I created a tale of the ages, it had it all, my only problem was for years I couldn't think of how to release it to the world, but a bigger problem then that, naming the main character. Up until the time I was about 9, the name evaded me, I could never quite capture what I thought of in my mind into one name. When I was 9 my step-sister gave me a name that has stuck with me through all these years, and if you have ever played a game with me then you know this name. Shuene, Shuene Eris to be exact. Now that I have successfully named my hero, all that was left was finding a way to bring the story to the public, and guess what, I have it right here in front of me. I plan to blog the tale of Shuene Eris bits at a time, hoping the audience enjoys this tale as much as I have creating it. So without much further a do and dilly dallying, let's begin.
It was a dark night, long before our hero came into this world, the first people only were separated by one thing, about one fifth of them had a talent, a seventh sense if you will, while the rest were as ordinary as could be. Now this talent slowly faded from wars with the mystic ancients who fought great wars and the talented few became fewer. I know you are probably wondering about this talent, it isn't something to insane, it is only the ability to harness knowledge and make it your own. Now I am sure you think that this is no talent, but the ability allows it to happen instantly, making the greatest thinkers, fighters, doctors, and all else the world could dream of, able to become masters of any and all crafts in mere hours to days. The larger majority of these people became fighters with the great foes that had hoped to wipe them out, warriors are useful in such circumstances. But there was the smaller amount who became masters of every craft, the 5 great ones they were called, and they became so masterful that something amazing happened. The titan of all creation came to these 5, and offered them a choice. "One day, this world will need one of your kind, far in the future, and will need you five to train him, and unless you except this offer, the world will fall. I must make you all titans, in order to secure you will be alive when needed most." The 5 great ones accepted, seeing as how they knew it was truly for the best of all mankind.
So after the ancient foes were defeated the 5 great ones left for the world in the sky, and were not to return until the boy needed them. And so years would pass, with only a handful of people still containing the talent existing. As time went on it became fewer, until the last one with the gift died birthing her son, which no one believed to have the talent, but this boy did, and he had all of live in his hands. A young boy, named Shuene Eris.
So Shuene's father was a sad individual who wanted nothing more then peace of mind. With his mother dead, Shuene's father saw only one way to deal with the child, put it up for adoption. So Shuene was put into Grand Marshal Sena's Home for the Orphans, the most strict orphanage in existence, and they trained the orphans to be war marshals. Shuene had a slight problem, he had the talent passed down to him from ancestors, but it didn't activate, so he was just a regular kid struggling to learn and keep up with the training program. The 5 great ones watched the boy and questioned why he could not use his talent, so they came before the Titan, Deus, asking him why this boy seemed to be ordinary. Deus told them that his ability was far superior to any other, he could suppress his talent, make it unavailable if you will. The 5 great ones laughed, the talent was automatic, no such thing had ever been heard of as a boy with the talent who didn't use it. Deus told them what had happened with a knight of death and carnage, Heisa. Heisa was the undead general, controlling all who had passed on. One night, he came to Shuene's mother and put a curse on her, that her son would be born without the ability. It failed, but it hold back the talent.
What was the solution the 5 greats wondered, how can we teach this boy if he can't learn? Deus explained to them that he could learn, it would take time yes, but he would master everything they taught to him. The 5 great ones laughed, "Why teach this boy in a manner we could teach any ordinary being? Surely there must be one greater then him without the talent", remarked the 3rd, Adice. Deus then explained to them that the boy, as normal as he seemed had a power greater then all others, when the time came, they would see for themselves what he meant. The 5 greats agreed against what they themselves thought. So when the time was right they would come to Shuene, and train him to fight against the evil general Heisa, and eventually the Lord of all demons and seal away evil for all time.
Shuene by this time was 8, and he was one of the better recruits in the orphanage, and easily found a good home. A home with a single woman and her 4 "siblings", Adice Eris was her name.
So at the time, Shuene is about 7 years old when he moves in with Adice and "family". He is very happy, assuming all his training is over and he can be a normal little boy, but he has no clue that it is only about to start. Shuene arrives at the Palace of a home, with everything you could ever dream of, and he is taken back by how much of a dream it all seems to be. He drives by the pool, gym, fields, separate housings, and the vehicle lot.
Shuene asks Adice what her siblings are like, and she gets the biggest grin over her face. They pull up to the main house his question still unanswered and they get out of the car and walk inside. There he see's four very powerful intimidating beings. Adice announces, "The savior of time has arrived my brothers and sisters. Shuene, these are four of your five teachers for the next 11 years, I am the fifth. You know my name already, the eldest, Rascami is to your right." A big strong figure lets out a powerful scream, his hair a light blue, and his eyes dare not be looked into out of fear. "The second, Eranlok stands by the kitchen." A kind looking woman, very trustworthy, just by looking at her Shuene is ready to trust her with his life, her blonde hair flows down to her legs, and her green eyes are bright with the fire of passion.
"I am the third, Adice." A very motherly figure stands before him, sleek, covered in a robe, only her face truly visible, her eyes a dark purple, and her hair from what can be seen is a radiant brown like that of an aged tree, very vibrant and full of color. "The forth, Sanesh." A skinny tall man, deep into a book, his glasses gleam the sun off of them, his green hair short and tidy, he is a very clean well ordered, classy fellow, a top hat on his head. Shuene has never seen someone so well traveled for their age, a genius just by appearance. "And the fifth is-". "Adice, allow me to introduce myself to the boy, I am the traveler through time and space, the one true shifting being, never quite known, Hrukar Shinah." Shuene is taken back, a giant war scar covers one eye and a burn is across his left arm, he looks very serious and determined, like one who is ready for business.Shuene has one thing on his mind, "What exactly am I being trained for?" The 5 greats smile, and beckon him to come into the small room they have all migrated near to. Shuene against his better judgement walks into the room and is amazed with what stands before his eyes. Adice remarks, "You are to save all time, and this is where you will learn how to defeat the evil that you will face."
Something so terrible was in this room, a creature not known by Shuene. "Hello Deus, we have the boy now." Adice reported. Deus answered, " Ah, Shuene, I am Deus, the Titan of space and time, and the 6 of us will ensure that you defeat Heisa and the undead army." Shuene, fearing this "Deus" simply turn and tried to run, he preferred the orphanage anyways. But they would not let him go so easily, he didn't understand his purpose, to save everything. They sat him down and explained everything you know, and after he calmed down and understood they told him of the 12 generals of the undead regime.
So the 12 undeaderals as they were called. In order of power; Fallenlight, the leader of platoon 3, Deathbringer, commander of the 567th force, Ribless, the Captian of the Ssinesster regiment, Decapitor, general of the Home landers, The triplets, Sirus, Sertega, and Frostleech, controlling the unit known as Fever, and the last four remained unknown. Only once all 12 are brought down, can Heisa, knightleader of Demonic Souls. So after he was filled in, it was time for training to begin. Saving the world and all that requires some work after all.
Shuene asks, "So these 12 generals, what exactly are they? And why am I the one who has to defeat them all?". Good questions indeed, seeing as how so many others could help, perhaps even destroy this evil and yet, no one else is willing to step up to the plate. Adice answers, "It is simple, the reason is-" The Television interupts, "BREAKING NEWS! UNDEAD MONSTERS DOWNTOWN DESTROYING THE CITY!". Deus tells the 5 that even though Shuene has had no training, it is time for him to fight, if he doesn't they may lose the city of Larenzo. Shuene is afraid, he has no idea if he will come out on top in this fight, and the fact that there may even be a general there does not help him feel better.
Deus opens up a portal to Downtown Lorenzo, and pushes Shuene through it only saying, "Shuene, no more then ever you need to activate any element, and live to fight, survive out there." Shuene drops on the cold concrete surface and stands to his feet, immediately cornered by several undead, it is time to fight. Shuene looks off for a weapon or some item to help him fight, and his eyes stumble upon several undead feasting on a group of dead civilians. This pushes Shuene over the edge, static starts to burst forth from his body, he slowly become electrified and sparks beam off his body. The lightning element has been activated. Shuene throws a punch at one of the undead, they block, and all the 5 undead surrounding him leap onto him, and a burst of light breaks out in the cracks of the pile, and the 5 fly backwards and explode into nothing but black smoke. More undead turn at the sound of the fight and rush foward, Shuene hits one, dodges another, electrifies one. Slowly the number of enemies shrinks and he gains the upper hand, when all the foes are defeated, he thinks it's over, but Fallenlightt rises from the ashes, a general is already come forth.
Fallenlightt laughs, "Hah, quite interesting, I didn't think they would take the bait and throw you into battle so soon, and I can tell you have no training from the 5 greats." Shuene has a fear growing inside of him, and he thinks to himself (I'm not ready for a general, this is beyond my ability, if I die then the world falls, there is no hope, but I at least have to try). Shuene charges up a ball of lightning and aims directly at Fallenlightt, All that is seen is an arrow pierces through the energy ball and the ball diminishes. Shuene is mesmerized by the power in Fallenlightt and his bow. Fallen simply smiles and loads another arrow, this one hits Shuene right in the shoulder, "A small miss it seems," Fallen states. Shuene falls to the ground, he has no idea how he has any hope to ever defeat this general in his current state. The 5 greats believe they have to interfere but Deus stops them, he says he knows Shuene will not die today, and to see how things unfold. Shuene's heart jumps in his chest, and his body starts to glow green, another element?!
Shuene rips out the arrow and the injury recovers, Shuene is back on his feet, as if hardly even touched, and his body begins to spark once more. Fallen shoots a barrage of arrows, every one misses, and Shuene breaks his hands through the ground, and rips forth from the soil two lightning pistols. Shuene throws one into the air and it distracts Fallen and Shuene fires from his hand a charge of electricity. Fallen becomes paralyzed and Shuene catches the pistol as it falls. In the blink of an eye Shuene is right next to Fallen, the pistols up to both his chest and head, Shuene lets loose a burst impact, 50 rounds from both guns, Fallen's body is nothing but a leg, and within seconds the leg bursts into a million pieces. Shuene has defeated the first general, and it was certainly no easy feat, but let it be known that Fallen was by far the weakest general and that defeated him is hardly a tap from the forces of evil.
Shuene awakens, feeling sore, but at the same time he feels more ready to train then ever. Yesterday was day 1 of training, and the 5 seem to be doing less teaching and more just beating him senseless. He isn't quite sure why they only pound him into the floor, because honestly, if you don't know the 5's intentions, they do seem to just be beating him up. Adice is the first to speak, "The boy was almost greatly injured yesterday, I don't know if he can take it, or even if he can, if any element will awaken." As much as they need this boy to be ready as soon as possible, they know she is right, but they still can't pass up a day to have this boy awaken one of the ten elements. Deus tells them the elements and the ways they awaken, in the hopes they will find a non-abusive way to awaken one. The first element, life, awoken in dire need. The second element, death, awaken with great sorrow. The third element poison, awaken in time of pain. The fourth element, lightning, awaken in revenge.The fifth element, light, awaken in justice. The sixth element, air, awaken in times of energy. The seventh, water, awaken in great calmness. The eighth, fire, awaken in hatred and rage. The ninth, earth, awaken in times where strength is needed.
And the tenth, pseudo elements, this element contains several within it, psychic, ice, demon, and beast, and Deus has no idea how this element is triggered. So the 5 come to a conclusion. Try elements three through eight, seeing as the others require something they are not prepared to bring to Shuene on this day. They start with twisting his wounds in hope of poison, nothing. They pretend to beat Adice, who squeals in agony in hope of lightning, but they only get a small spark until Shuene notices they are faking it. Next, they arrange plans to have someone come into the house and steal, but Shuene has no effect at the loss of the vase taken by the "off" burglar. Next they tell him he needs to run a long sprint, only 78 miles. Shuene comes back soon enough, they are in high hopes, the air element awoke, but then they see the truck driving off, he caught a ride after jogging a mile. Next the try to calm him, they put him alone, and tell him to meditate, this offers a new result.Water slowly builds around the room, Shuene is in-cased in a ball of water, and they know what they must try to do, teach him.
The 5 walk into the room and begin, once they are positive Shuene can see them they begin using every ability they know, and when they all finish this, they begin to turn and before Shuene can react, the attack. The first few moves are just enough to break the water shell. But by then it is too late, Shuene unleashes a deadly counter that sends four flying backwards. They get to their feet only to suffer a barrage of water jabs and fists, Rascami has time to gloat, "Well I know I got through to him!". Adice steps toward Shuene and puts her palm on his head, sealing the water element, now the beating is delivered to Shuene, but by all five. The hits are each like a stabbing blade to the bones, hurting deep and rendering joints unusable. Although the pain is hard to pull through, Shuene fights, but defeat is not to be avoided this time. Yet he lasts another two hours before he falls.
They are interrupted by a monitor, it seems that a member of the trio has made his move. Frostleech is alone, but Sirus and Sirtega can't have let him go alone, a trap? Maybe. In any case they have made an attack on Windshatter city, the castle in the clouds. Shuene must go even in his current condition, hopefully it is just the one general, Deus opens the portal and goes through. It was a trap, although one general was here, 10 were outside the manor of the 5 greats. An ambush, Deus activated the 5's last day of life for them to fight, but they only could take out the other two triplets and Ribless. The four unknown and the other three took Deus. What has come of this and why in such a rush attack? Shuene still has his own fight to take care of.
Shuene stands before Frostleech, he seems weaker then when he first arrived. The city in the sky, not an ideal place to fight someone so masterful of the cold thin air. Shuene has no element, what to do? What can he do? Elements don't come out of thin air (no pun intended). An element-less fight, Shuene has never tried but if he doesn't he may not make it. Shuene begins toward Frost, and he was met with with a swift blow to the chest. There is no way, what can he do, the speed is too great. Speed! That's just it! The element of air! If he could make his body need the speed, it may just work.
Shuene runs again, only this time he isn't heading for Frost, he is running straight off the edge of the city. Frostleech mumbles, "Quite the easy victory". Shuene has one chance to do this right, he has to have the element activate just before the edge, so he can live. He hit the edge, a gust of wind strikes into him, he stops and turns, the element of air has awakened.
Shuene is flowing with air, this is it. He rushes forth but almost instantly. Frostleech is hit in the blink of an eye, the moves are too fast to avoid. Dying frost serpents rise around Frostleech, this is his last resort. The swarm surrounds Shuene, regular minions shouldn't be a problem. But they move away, Shuene stands motionless on the ground. Frostleech walks up and grabs him by the neck, and throws Shuene off the city edge. He falls at an amazingly increasing speed, 400 feet left, 200 feet, 50 feet, suddenly he is pushed to the right. He is alive, but he failed, and a shadow comes forth, his savior, but whom is it?
"It's okay Shuene, it's been awhile so I don't expect you to remember me." (Who is he? Why did he save me? How does he know me?) Shuene stands up and walks toward the figure then the light shines upon the figure. Shuene gasps at the sight, "Torro, how did you find me?" Torro, a true savior, the only friend Shuene ever really had. So Torro answered the question, he tells about how he saw the fight from Oakaru and assumed Shuene was a part, then saw the body falling and rushed to save it, and was shocked to see who it was. Torro adds, "It seems I can help you, so let me teach you, since the 5 are dead and Deus is missing." Shuene collapses into darkness, how did this happen? Was it only a trap?
The barren wasteland of Tornmuk, walking through a desert at a time like this? Where is Torro taking Shune, and why is it out here?! They approach a rugged blanket placed in the sand, Torro pulls it to reveal a hole with a ladder. Together they descend into the dark and Torro flips a switch. At that exact moment Shuene faints from a blow to the back of the head. When he awakes he sees familiar faces and knows where he resides, the HQ of Demonic Endangerment. If any humans were to be his enemy, this group was the most likely. Torro inspects the boy and opens his lips, "Shuene, Heisa wants you delivered but I should kill you instead."
"WAIT!" Shuene shouts, and says one more word, "Arena". Arena is a ritual all guilds must abide to. A simple 2v2 best 3 out of 5. The challenger is either set free or killed on the spot. "I must accept, but good luck with a partner", Torro smirks and walks toward two strong forsaken spawns. Shuene's opponents, the magician, Burnt, and the warrior, Rallister. Shuene stares toward a small shaman, Orc blood runs through those veins, Shuene has found his partner. Shuene approaches, "You, I want you to be--" His offer is interrupted by laughter. The Orc accepts the chance. The 4 step into the ring, from here it's a fight for life.
8 years prior-
Shuene was young, kicked out of the orphanage he was in along with a few other boys. Due to their reputation all the city referred to them as the little demons. Led by a visionary troll with a heart of darkness, they were strong, they didn't need anyone. Torro renamed the group Souls of Demons, after the ancient hero who hid away the demons and let the souls free. Shuene wasn't all that bad, he just knew that if he stayed with them he survived, and that's all he needed to know. He wasn't the only one that was here for survival, a young Orc also was here. Shuene and him were the best of friends, they did everything together, they became a duo, the Pure Demons they were called. Then came the class placement after a year had passed. Every 9 year old had to do it, to see what they would be most suited to, everyone passed, except Shuene. A undesired is what they call those who do not pass, worthless, and no one wanted to be associated with them. Torro threw Shuene from the now founded guild, Demonic Endangerment. Kotoomi the Orc never forgot his friend.
Present day-
"Welcome to the first arena in 3 years! An undesirable and a shaman against a warrior and magician, outcome obvious"' Torro announced. The battle began, Rallister opened with a well placed charge knocking Shuene to the ground. Shuene gets to his feet and it's an all out fight between the two, and Shuene pulls towards Rallister, a hand on the head, and a throw to the spike, Rallister is out this round, but Kotoomi isn't looking so good, Burnt is stronger then he thought. Shuene rushes to his aid, the rules have changed, it's a death arena. Rallister stands to his feet, Kotoomi is at the mercy of the duo. Shuene runs but he hears the noise, death has been marked, first blood. He is still unable to move, the two jump down from the high ground. Shuene sheds a single tear, revenge triggers an element, but this, this is new. Pure Demon, it was a fantasy, the demon hero who fought other demons in the name of justice. A demons full form, that is what unlocks a power house of strength. One wing rips the flesh open, then the other, horns worm their way out, the red aura of demon, no, it's purple, what does it mean though?
The pure demon, a legend of some being that although demonic hatred flowed throughout, somehow was full of purity. Eventually the evil consumed the demon and he produced something known as the Reapers. The Reapers were the hatred core of the underworld, but they also were generally the purest because the dark energy was sealed within the eight seals of death. So then what became of Shuene and this purple aura? Shuene's body became a seal in itself and was ripped through into a full fledged demon, but red is the aura of demons. So it happened, the element of Darkness was unleashed, but his pure soul burned through. The first documented sight of the pure demon. Eruption of Demonic Soul, the audience attempted to flee, they all did, but they were all consumed by the magenta flames, all but one. Torro, being the leader had the power to be a demon, so here it was, the pure demon against one of the darkest demons.
Shuene catches a punch and another, filling both his claws with Torro's. A power struggle, Shuene breaks one of Torro's arms but Torro uses it and takes down Shuene. Torro grabs Shuene by the leg and circle throws him to the ground, embodiment of Death, this is what true power looks like in the possession of a demonic soul. Shuene grabs Torro in an attempt to crush his body, but close combat expertise quickly releases the hold. What to do? This is no regular demon anymore, but that's just it, Shuene is fighting out of rage, purity is his soul's energy, so fight pure. Shuene lifts the earth from under Torro and quickly decays everything attached to it, only getting Torro's leg in the process, hoping that's enough. Torro is wounded but still capable of power, costing his demon form he regains his leg. Shuene leaves the element of death, a fight between champions now.
Shuene enters the element of pseudo, this is his only chance to use it he knows of. Quickly a barrage of ice and magma consumes the floor. Torro makes a sanctuary in the earth to keep clear of the elements. Shuene makes a barrier all around where Torro stands out of his ground coating. A power between the two, and the clash causes a sonic boom, leaving both unconscious and after some time Shuene stands to his feet and walks up to Torro. Champion Shuene states the required phrase, "In this battle among champions I have become the victor and your soul has become one with mine, may we rise to conquer!" Shuene stands alone in the desert but he is never really alone.
In the beginning there was a kingdom of kindness and one of hatred. The prince of kindness was to be married off to the princess of darkness. The prince liked this girl even though they were so different and in the first month of them being together for the 4 months before the wedding she liked him too, only slightly, seeing as how she had a love affair with a noble's son from her father's court for about 6 months prior and still ongoing. After a month she stopped caring for the prince, even though they would be wed, yet this did not make him back away, he knew that if they had to be together they may as well be happy. She gave up on him, and she still led him along with the hope that he would at least make a good outlet for power and wealth. The prince caught wind of this slightly before the wedding, 8 days before a scout of the king of kindness came to Prince Kindred and told him of the love affair and also of her plans with the marriage. The prince had never felt anger in his heart, but it was there now, enraged the prince took a blade and came to the princess sleeping in her chamber, he stab through her vile heart. Although he hated what she had done he still had love for her, but something happened, a pure heart struck forth with vile darkness into that of a darker soul. A darkness overpowering, and breaking the kingdoms destroying all of the life on the surface of the planet. Bringing forth from the princess, the first demon spawn (demon's being non-gender species) and from the prince a darker force, the first Knight of Destruction, a Grim Reaper.
Shuene is alone, in the desert, not able to move, the sun pouring heat into him. Dehydrated and unmotivated, he feels he may as well just die here, and let the world fall. Shade coats the ground, Shuene looks up to see a airship landing right by him, he stands up, not ready to die after all. He pulls out his dagger, and tries his best to hide himself. Out of the ship come two people, a huntress and a fabled Reaper, enemies as presumed. Shuene ambushes and stabs the Reaper in the shoulder, but does little damage and is thrown to the ground. He quickly thinks on his feet and activates the earth element, it fades almost as quickly as it came. The huntress phased it out, a arrow that can neutralize an element, no hope. Shuene drops to his knees, but has one idea, he runs up to the huntress and grabs her arrows. He stabs them all into her, and she begins fatally bleeding. The Reaper grabs Shuene and breaks his leg.
The Reaper echoes out, "Run Master Lilli, I told you this was a bad idea, I'll solve the problem". The huntress escaped to the ship, this is an easy one to one battle, but something about this Reaper, something amiss in his power. Shuene relocates his leg, hard to walk on but doable, and rushes at the Tauren, and a clash between dagger and Demon Blade triggers. This Reaper is holding back, he must be, is it even possible in the heat of battle to keep seals at bay? The Reaper says one word, "Nightmare" and Shuene is broken, that was it, that is the power of a Death Knight. Shuene asks this Knight what he is, a simple answer, "They call me Shrouder, and I am the only Reaper that seals darkness, therefore I am all the greater".
Shuene crippled in pain lay face down under the threatening Reaper. 8th seal broke inside Shrouder, there is no way to live through this one. This is a dark and terrible end for Shuene, the final battle. The seals of a Reaper work accordingly, they are designed to seal all darkness away, and each seal releases a rising darkness. Reapers can sustain up to 5 seals open forever, making most Reapers stronger then people because they have a boost in power with the seals also. The price to pay for victory, a gamble on the light of your soul for more power, the curse brought on. At 6 seals most Reapers if not already fallen lose the light, and can only sustain this seal for upwards of an hour. At 7 seals only Reapers who have the deepest darkness can keep from opening the 8th with it, but it is a power that can bring worlds to their knees. The 8th seal is a suicide seal. It allows you to mark in your mind one target and unleashes the utmost power in the universe to fight them, but after they have been defeated you yourself fall and die due to over-consumption by the darkness. Our hero is up against the 8th seal, therefore is there any way out for Shuene? Doubtful at best, but a true champion never gives up.
Shuene has little hope to survive unless he can pull off a miracle. Shuene is dumbfounded at what to do, is there even a way out? Life is the essence of existence, so let it be the way he exists beyond this day. Green aura, activation, his bones replace themselves, time to win. He runs up to Shrouder and touches the breast above the heart and blasts energy through Shrouder. Shrouder collapses as does Shuene. A few hours later both are awakened by Lilli and Shuene is in great agony and pain. Shrouder has a feeling, "The seals are no longer existing, how is that possible... "
Shuene is passed out, coughing, radiating darkness, he was corrupted by something, that much is clear. Shrouder and Lilli continue talking. They go back and forth and what came of this fight, how a reaper lost his seals. They look at the out pour from Shuene, and come to one simple conclusion. Transfer of dark energy from one pure soul to another, the gift of life has such power. So be it, Shuene now contains the eight seals of corruption from Shrouder, this problem has no solution, he must contain these seals. A new burden upon our hero, yet I am sure he will find a way to pull it off. Shuene awakens and pulses from the core of his heart. What solution can be made, one, he must be able to seal effectively in order to not lose himself. Shuene is told the tale of what unfolded from the battle and smiles, his plan worked, just as he had planned. He sealed up all 8 instantly, but something goes wrong, the seals all lock away in his left eye, turning it into a dark crimson demon set eye, the price of the seals.
Shuene regains himself and still stands before Shrouder and Lilli, not quite sure how to escape, he gives in. "Don't be wrong Shuene, we were never here to kill you, we need you to help lead us into victory at the Demon's Gate," reveals Lilli. So that was it all along, they are after Heisa and his minions, the 5 remaining generals. It had been so long since he had come close to any of them he had forgotten his whole purpose, and everything around it. So Shuene finally agrees, and a ship emerges from behind a camouflage in the shade of the desert. They all board the ship as Lilli explains in detail what it is that the so called guild of hers does. The Prophets of old time had come into this world seeing what would happen if evil was left undefeated, and how the earth would crumble. So they formed a legion and fought the demons, but no one knew, they fought secretly to keep the normal citizens in safe minds. Yet since they became secret, fewer people knew to come, or even knew what prophets were, and none of the members even recalled the original prophecy spoken by the elder in the start. So Broken Prophicies was formed, to keep the world safe, not knowing why quite, but doing so just because they were one of the last hopes for mankind.

Voyboy #1 MLG PRO
So I know I have gone a little League of Legends crazy, but I just really enjoy it and so I figure more passion the more passionate writing yes? Well as I had said in my first post about it their are 5 roles, middle lane, bottom support, bottom attack damage carry, top solo bruiser, and jungler. At least ranked teams work it this way 9/10 times. Well there is one top lane bruiser summoner(player), debated as the best top lane in all of North America and he has the record to prove it, he is the best in North America top lane, and he is my absolute favorite player ever, so Voyboy, the top lane for team Curse is the most single handed assassin master, and one of the best gankers I have seen in this game. He usually plays champions like Akali, Katarina, Kha'Zix, and Rengar, but has one champion he is feared while on. Elise, the Spider Queen. He has gotten more kills and victories on her then any other champion and you may see a part in the video at the end where he turrets dives Udyr and gets the kill and gets out when he is on her. Also a scene where he goes in for Taric into the enemy base. He is one of the best players in the game, and I give my credit to him as he is my inspiration for what I do, and what I someday hope to be able to do.

More League? Champion spotlight
Sorry but due to the fact we have to make our blogs public I decided I should go back and edit the story quite a bit, so I need to do something else while I am sorting that out. Almost perfect timing too seeing as how the new champion Zac the secret weapon has been released. He is made of goo and his passive is amazing, every ability has a chance to drop a goo bit equal to up to 4% of his max hp, and if he dies once every two minutes, he turns to 4 globs that slowly move toward the center of the point they came from, if even one glob survives, as does Zac. His abilities use 4% of his current hp and his ultimate uses no cost, and seeing as how his passive in place helps, he regains hp by fighting due to current hp over max hp. His first ability is a double punch which is a skill shot with very small range, but does some damage, his others are a very short range aoe, and his best ganking move, elastic slingshot which is the farthest leap in the game and is incredible for surprise attacks and fast getaways. His ultimate is Let's Bounce, it makes him bounce pretty fast pretty far 3 times and does damage each landing or he can stay still and still bounce for enemies not moving. He uses ability power, and is a bruiser/jungler.
