Welcome to Gaia! ::

There are many things that are unclear in the Rp, like the past and all the story before of how Leroy got to the desert and all his past, well I'll try to explain in here those things, and also new things that will apear when the story moves.

It must pass another 10 years until some guilds began to report same incidents like the one that had happened in the Swordman guild, Zegen couldnt belive it, all of them had said the same thing that Cervantes did on his judge, they did it in order to protect the peace of Payon. Zegen looked for more information in the victims, but none of them had any relevant thing, they seem to didnt even know the meaning of the word "Bel", so it was wasting his time again.

People in the council started to distrust Zegen, they said that he had began to start acting weird and that he seemed very cautelous about what he said and who he said it. He started to lose more thrust when he asked for a special group to the guilds, that they sent their best warriors so that they would be under his direct orders, some accepted without even asking, but some others refused, saying that what Zegen was doing was over his charge, he was abusing of the power he had as lider, Zegen took this as an insult and obligate every guild to do it.

A report came later, it said that a new Oracle had appeared and that was even more precise with his visions than any other they had contacted, Zegen took this as a sign and went with his new guards to search for him in the mountains. When they finally arrived, many Dark Ones were sorrounding the place, so they had to take them out, Zegen didnt entered in the battle, instead he rushed into the Oracle's cave and make contact with him, asking him about the guy that the power was supposed to belong.

The Oracle said that he wouldnt help someone like Zegen, only by looking at his eyes, he didnt even had to use his powers to see that he was hungry for more power. Zegen in a blind fury decided that if he wont see who the guy was, anyone wouldnt see it and using his sword, he made a slash in the Oracle's face, making him blind, then took him outside the cave where his guards waited for him, Zeigen said that the Oracle was now coming back with them, taking him as a prisioner.

Back in the capital, Zegen was furious that he couldnt find out who the guy was, he wanted to know, he need to, so he also began to lose his thrust in the guilds, since none of them would accept that he wanted more power. Zegen started another search, acording to Mitsurugi's diary, Dark Ones were very complex species, they had almos the same govern form of the humans, so this "Bel's" should be some kind of lords acording to the way Zegen read the diary, so if he wanted to find more about it he would have to capture a Dark One, but this would be a task more dificult that he imagined.

Zegen and his guards followed the instruction in Mitsurugi's diary, they went to Meseta Hill, a place that is sacred land for the Dark Ones, there they waited for almost a whole day until the night fall, but Zegen did a great mistake, it was full moon. Zegen didnt knew that full moon gave the Dark Ones enough power to almost anhilate the whole Payon army and mabye the guilds. In a coward act, Zegen sacrificed his guards in order to capture a Dark One, that until these day its said to still be trapped in the undergrounds of the Sanctuary.

Back at the capital, Zegen had finally learned the whole information he wanted, he knew who this "Bel's" were, but not even Dark one knew about the other being they were also fighting. The Dark one told Zegen a legend that they had, at first the power of Darkness and Light were one, but when the creation of the world finished, they were separated, the power of Darkness went to a creature whose name was Bel, he was the ruler of chaos. He and the light creature team up to create the humans, giving them inteligence and reazon, but Bel wasnt happy when the Light creature gave them emptions, one of them love, so Bel took the chance and gave them hate. The idea of how humans should live was different for Bel and the Light creature, he wanted them to be creatures that worshiped them, but the Light creature wanted them to live and be happy, this began war, not only by the creatures but in the humans that worshiped them, creating a great chaos.

At the end, Bel was defeated and using a sacred seal, the Light creature spread his great power into many places, this is were the word "Bel" began to be used by the Dark Ones, it was at the begining of the name of the Dark one, meaning that those who had it were at the top, they were demons with incredible powers that could destroy Payon if they wanted. But with power comes greed, a greed that have affected the Dark Ones because all the Bel's began a war for who the strongest was, a war that until these day it's still going on, but now it involved Payon because of a sin that humans and Dark ones had made.

Zegen listened and finally understand who the Light creature was, it was the goddes of Payon, Altreya, that according to the mith she vanished a powerfull Dark creature in order to protect humanity, he now knew who he was, this war was about to repeat and he must be ready. Also the word sin catched his attention,a sin made by a Dark One and a human, but what could this mean, a new information had appeared but new questions also, what was the sin and if this means that humans had an advantage in the war.

Now we will learn about the past of Leroy, and also more that not even he knows, like who is his father and the why he wanted Leroy to have the Forced Edge, and also the vision that the Oracle had of him, about the war of Bel and the war between the humans, dark ones and devas. First of all the father of Leroy is the Dark One that Zegen was searching for, he is a high-ranked Dark One that have aquired the ultimate form, the demonic power, but somehow he managed to aquire a human form, also was one of the contendants for the Bel throne, his name was Abel, the only known Bel whose name is precided by another letter. He was different also because he decided to hunt down Dark Ones for hurting inocent people that according to him havent done anything wrong for deserving death, he indeed was one of the strongest creatures to have ever put his feet's over the Payon empire.

Abel managed to do things that even whole guilds couldnt, he defeated a whole Dark One army only using his powers and his sword, the weapon that Zegen had searched all his life, the weapon that Altreya and Bel created, the Forced Edge. The weapon was different from the other 2 legendary swords, since the Soul Edge had the enough power to destroy almost any foe that crossed his path and the Soul Calibur had power enough to purify all evil that crossed its path, the Forced Edge power was diferent, it was like a mix of both powers but it had one more thing, a will. The will of the sword was created from the own will of the user, so the sword could have dark energy and holy energy, depending from the user wish, the reason why Altreya hide the sword in the chaos realm, created when both Soul Calibur and Soul Edge fused.

Abel was one of the contendants for the throne of Bel, but he knew that Bel's were powerfull and evil creatures, so he decided to leave the battle, but that decition would affect the balance of power in the Dark Ones, so another powerfull demon was forced to take him down, but Abel managed to escape to Payon, finding that his once powerfull apereance had changed for that of a human and now he had the chance of leaving behind the war, or that was what he thought. Years passed and Abel lived a peacefull life, until one day he was in Geffen, were some Dark Ones began to attack the place, but some were defeated by a woman, her name was Lucia Schwartzer, even when she had proved that her fighting skills were great, she was in dis-advantage, so he had to step in, defeating the resting Dark Ones in the village and also saving Lucia.

Lucia was impressed by the power that Abel had since not even the mercenaries had that amount of power, she followed him and found that he didnt have a place to stay, as asign of gratitud she offered her house for him to stay all he wanted, Abel accepted and followed Lucia to the forest outside of Geffen until they reached a mansion, a castle that seemed very old, when he entered he discovered some inscriptions, they belonged to the Dark Ones, this place once was used for rituals, but acording to Lucia, her family had lived here for almost 100 years now. Lucia's great grandfather, Raphael, was a great lord once but he was betrayed by his servants and was forced to escape to the forest, there he found the castle, a place were no human had stood in almost 50 years, so he hide there, but this hide then become his home and also for his family. Lucia explained Abel that she learnt to fight when a burning desire of vengance to the Dark Ones appeared, they were responsable for the death of her mother and wanted to stop them so no one had to suffer the way she did.

Years passed, Abel and Lucia's friendship grew in a great way, he had gained the thrust of all the Schwartzer family and was considered a part of them, but all good things must came to an end and so it happened one day. News spread that a beast had appeared and that not even the guilds could take care of him, Lucia convinced Abel that they were the only hope for the empire, so they went to confront the beast. When they arrived to Einbroch, the beast had already killed all the guild members that confronted him, but his blood lust still wanted Abel and Lucia, a big surprise for the beast that was the same sent to kill Abel when he decided to leave the war of Bel. The fight began and the beast seem to have more power, but convined attacks of Lucia and Abel were making damage on him, until he managed to separate them, fighting Abel alone, despite the fact that he was one of the Bel's, he had spent many time in the human realm and also many time with that human form, so his powers werent as strong as they were when he first fought with the beast in his demonic form.

After a long fight Abel was defeated, but the beast decided that if he wanted to make his death more painfull, he would also crush his soul, so he began attacking Lucia, she managed to dodge some attacks but finally got hurt. Abel was so tired that he couldnt do anything to help her, he felt frustrated and shouted to the sky, asking for help, nothing happened but his voice was heard by someone, Altreya, who had been watching over him since he arrived at the human realm. Abel said that he would even sacrifice his life to protect Lucia because he loved her, Altreya was surprissed that a Dark One could feel that kind of emotion, so she decided something, to test the power of this creature.

With exitment and fear that the desition she was about to take could change the whole future of the humans, Altreya released from the chaos realm the Forced Edge and sent it to Abel, he managed to stand up and grabbed the sword, all his energy was restored, including his mighty demonic powers. Abel confronted the beast once again, but this time not even the power of the beast was a problem for him, the Forced Edge compleately destroyed the beast, saving Lucia and finally taking down the beast problem. Altreya was releaved that she had made the right choice, but was surprised about something, when she wanted to take the sword back, this one didnt answered to her power, it seemed that it had fused with Abel's will and somehow became a part of him, she was afraid but at the same time surprissed that the sword was capable of doing that, so she decided to leave the sword with him, after all he was different from many humans and Dark ones, so by now the sword would be in good hands.
