Chapter ??? - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
A beautiful forest with giant trees, as large as buildings, clear lakes that you will find mermaids, of course if luck smile at you and not the premature death, with rivers of rebellious waters that never stop where fish of various kinds live and breed .
This beauty forest so diverse, a man runs. Run as if fleeing from a ghost, a ghost who will open his chest, rip the heart out and eat the piece of muscle that pumps blood into the body.
This man is not weak, his identity is a high level mage. It can tell this because the blue robe with luxurious appearance that emits an aura that freeze around him and the staff that he holds, a simple wooden rod with jewel at the top, is jewel radiates high temperatures high enough to burn grasses on the ground and the leaves on the trees if your power was not being contained ... a really expensive staff.
Constantly using buffs to get faster as warily spells to cover their tracks.
Suddenly the man stop running and look at the direction he came from.
"Fuck, he found me."-[???]
The man aged around 50 years old, gray hair and a face with the marks of time. This face showed not only his age, but also fear ... fear of imminent death.
Like prey being hunted by a predator, the old man runs with evident despair on his face.
The man ran for a few hours until he found an abandoned shack, entering her without a second thought. Removing a pocket of his robe one scroll.
Before he could channel mana in scroll, the shack's wall suddenly break and its pieces fly toward the trees.
The old man tries to use the scroll, but when was going to trigger the spell, he hear a deep voice coming from the trees, and the scroll is pulled in that direction by an invisible force.

Despair arises within your heart, for so little ... for so little that he can not escape.
"Trying to escape with a teleport scroll when it was out of the protective barrier. Very well thought out old man. A pity that I who was sent behind you."-[???]
Kingdoms normally use barriers that inhibit teleportation to prevent evasions. The only exception of these barriers are the rifts, permanent portals connecting two points, stupidly expensive to make and exhaustive to keep, being need 10 magicians to keep open.
A man in the middle of its 20 years out of the direction from which the voice came. With 5'4 feet tall, blond hair, blue eyes and having a tattoo of a green star on his right cheek, wearing an armor black in color and a bag on his shoulder. Emitting an aura with extreme bloodlust. An aura that would make any minor rank of C faint instantly.
"*sigh* To think that would send the black star exclusively to kill me."-[Old Man]
"So you know who I am. Surrender and will make it quick and painless"-[Black Star]
The old man points his staff and then several fireballs show up and are thrown toward the black star.
"Bad choice old man."-[Black Star]
Black star raises his arm in the direction of fireballs and in a single moment the fireballs change direction, through his side. The old man is surprised, but quickly regains his composure moving again toward the forest, while making several ice spikes fly toward the black star.
"Push!"-[Black Star]- at the time that his arm is pointed at the ice spikes and the words go down from his mouth, ice spikes are pushed in the opposite direction, passing over the old man's head.
The old man is surprised by the events, but not stop running, creating several ice walls in the way between him and his enemy.

Black star stands still in the same place since the beginning of the fight, his face showing boredom, he picks up a stone the size of his fist from the ground and throws toward the old man.
"Push"-[Black Star]- and with this word, the stone won an incredible boost, passing the sound barrier, breaking the ice walls as if they were nothing.
The old man reacts in time, before being fatally hit, but it's too slow, ending with his right arm crushed by the stone at the time that avoid the projectile. And before he could even scream in pain, the old man listening to a single word ... "Pull" ... throwing toward where he had run.
Since the attempted exchange of blows between the two, it had spent only 27 seconds, and the conclusion ended with the two facing each other like in beginning of the "fight".
The old man is on his knees on top of a pool of blood made by what was once his right arm, while Black star observe in front of him.
"You know we could have avoided it?"-[Black Star]
"*haah* It makes it sound like I'm wrong, you know what the King's supposed want to do? It is a massacre of non-humans, he planned war. Vraski versus the world, it's crazy."-[Old Man]
"The word you are looking for is Holocaust, but it is not something that you know. Well, let's finish this. So, guess who I brought to see you in your last moments?"-[Black Star]
Black Star picks up the bag that was on his shoulder and takes something from it. He takes a head of the bag, fresh blood still present in the cut that separated it from the body.
"Your Son, sad to have to end his life like that, but the your majesty orders are to eliminate the whole damned family."-[Black Star]
The face of the old man became so sad that words could not explain such expression, but a moment later, a madness smile with eyes burning for revenge appear in this face at that time maltreated. Then, at the foot of the old man a rune appears and a bright light comes.
"Shit"-[Black Star] - In a moment of haste, Black star used his magic to hit him, but before it reaches he, no longer was anyone there.
"Tisc, and think that the old man would use his blood as a catalyst to create a rune of teleportation, Old Monster.*sigh* The King will not like this news. "-[Black Star]
"I hope not discounting my earnings, and think dirty deeds would not give so much money ... the king really will not like this. "-[Black Star]
The man walked back into the shadows of trees, and will return to where he came from, Vraski.

8 121Tree of Yggdrasil
A Land of Myths and Legends. It has been far too long since the Age of Humanity has come and gone, the only evidence of those times being ruins and relics, left over from a past shrouded in mystery. In the center of the Human Continent, there exists a Tree, the origin of all the monsters and of humanity’s downfall. Yet, humans prevail, rising from the ashes every time. Countries rise and fall, struggling in an endless cycle of conquest and bloodshed. Yet still they pray to the source of their misfortune, the Tree of Yggdrasil, hoping to be granted one of its miracles. It has been centuries since the Tree has blessed a being. Only a select few in the past were able to receive its grace, bringing about a new form of power to the world and transcending humanity. These beings, having created brand new lands of their own, are known as paragons of their own species, yet they are all cursed in one way or another. Once again, humanity is rising, yet their growth brings about misfortune to all who surround them. Those forsaken even by their own races face death, persecution and loneliness. And yet, the Tree keeps its silence. Until now… *Credit for the cover goes to Darkhikarii at DeviantArt, if you want it taken down, please message me.
