Marcus Triun - Part 39 (Volfram)

Original Character is from : www.zervatheus.blogspot.com . Zervatheus is a good friend of mine, and he gave me his character in the hope I could write on with him since he has no time to write on anymore.



My name is Volfram Valtheus. Let's skip the chit-chat about my life, only thing I want to tell is that I'm part of the legion of The Black Bow. My high inquisitors were looking at me across the table. I was sitting on a chair on the back of the table, and the inquisitors on the other end. High Inquisitor:"You know what to do, you know your objective , and you know what is at stake. Do what you is teached, and don't come back until the job is done, if you do come back we will kill you. Good luck." I stood up, and walked away without even looking back, I went to my dorm , put on my pants, shirt, vest over it and my black shoes and gloves. I took the helmet from my closet, and put it up on my head. I grabbed my flintlock, and put it in my holster and I also grabbed my rapier and went off. I walked through our great halls, and went out into our big garden. Witch Hunters EVERYWHERE, training with bows, flintlocks, rifles and rapiers. Our standard equipment was a flintlock and rapier after all. This was just a small base of Niarlore, our great base was stationed elsewhere, which I'm not going to mention yet. We have bases stationed everywhere, eventhough we are in ghost modus at the moment. I walked near the gates that would open the way for me, and I could hear the gatekeepers shout:" OPEN THE GATE! It's the "Salvator"! " Salvator of what , I asked myself. Interesting. I saw my mighty stallion, getting settled up by a small farmer kid. I nodded at him, gave him some money for it in exchange hopped on, and galloped away. My way to the pass was rather silent, so now and then a raider would hop in front of me. Not a good match for my Flintlock. I grinned as I reached the pass. I could smell it. A Demon. I hopped off my horse, and saw footprints from an extraordinary big foot, atleast, not the size of feet a normal human should have. This guy is a big one. I again, hopped on my mighty stallion and went through the pass. My mask on my head kept it dark, eventhough I was close to Arishalore I still couldn't feel or see the light from the sun. I ventured on, almost being at the city, I could see the smoke in the near distance and the smell of cooked meat, which has been rotting for a week or two now. Ahh...So this is what they meant about the "Bloodriver" in the intel. Lovely. The whole river was covered with piles of humans and blood, sentinels were clearing up the place though and went they noticed me getting in they glared at me like I was a hellish spawn. Can't blame them, I'm already used to it. I hopped off from my stallion, and approached the nearest Civilian that was still pretty much unharmed or hurt. He looked like a pretty strong, young 'fella. 100% that kid could handle himself in these kind of situations, I looked at his face and noticed his eye was irritated in a way of that something has hit his eye very badly. I started a conversation:" I got something to ask, and it's very important." He glared at me and said ???:"Why the fuck should I help or trust you people? You fucking numbnuts took my family into a pit of darkness and doom! My father is gone and my sist--..." I shut his mouth before he could go on. Volfram:"Listen kid, I don't fucking care about your lifestory. I just want answers, to get the crazy fucker killed who did this." The kid was amazed by my rude interruption and replied ???:"That crazy fucker saved me, and my sister before from your sort...He was my teacher." My eyebrow went up, and down again. Amazing.

Marcus Triun - Part 38

Niarlore was a dark, dark place. The weirdest thing was that the sun never showed its face here , and I've been here for some time now . 6 months? Maybe a year? I don't know anymore. I lost track of time and of everything. I kept on walking through the pass, and now THIS was something beautiful...Directly in the middle of the pass you could see somekind of magical barrier between Niarlore and Arishalore. Aside from that, what the fuck happened to me ? I turned all dark and I started to look like Daemon, I held my Solerd hand in the air and turned it into a fist. I felt something glowing on the back of my hand, it was a pentagram. All corners turned white, then red and then turned black and stayed that way. Amazing, this isn't something ordinary and to be honest I don't really believe I was ever a god. With these kind of crazy powers, I don't feel like a god. A god has to bring happiness and respect, not death and decay...I walked through the pass and I was in Arishalore again. Never , ever , ever ever, never, I'm going back to that place. I turned my head around, and the place gave me shivers. I kept on walking and I found the origin city where Fiona lived, I walked into town and people were staring at me like I was the devil myself. Well, they weren't 'rong or either right, point is that I looked miserable. I felt my whole body burning again, and I fell on my knees. The Pentagrams started drawing theirselves onto my whole body. White, red and then black. I screamed and people screamed too , running to their houses and ringing the clocktower in their town. Guards appeared everywhere . Black , demon-ish powers were gathering around me, fromout the earth. Suddenly I got claws and started drawing a pentagram around my own body. Light filled the pentagram + me. I turned into an Ayakashi. My hair became long, and white again, red eyes and the pentagrams that were drawn on my body turned all red. My whole body turned black, fiendish and my Solerd hand again solved into my skin. It looked like my skin was made of Solerd only, indestructable and a Demon tint. I glided into the air, my power was immense and I started gliding through the city , guards that tried to attack my skin got killed by my mind. One guard jumped onto me, I simply grabbed him by the neck, flew high up the air and dived downwards with his head downwards pushing him totally into the ground. I stood up, and held my both hands onto each other , exploding all the citizens and guards that were outside in flashes of blood. I held my hand out and burned some houses to ashes, women, men and children screaming while I was burning them alive. Laughing at them how they got crippled by the fire, and the fresh smell of human meat. I approached a house, and kicked the door open. A man held an iron sword in his hand, and his child hiding underneath the table. The man ran to me , trying to kill me with his sword. I held out one hand, stopping the blow and bending the sword to his own face with just raw power. Then I grabbed his head and penetrated him with his own bend over sword, snatched out his heart and started to drink the blood of his heart. Mmm...So good. Suddenly I felt something burning in the back of my body. It was an arrow. Marcus:"Who dares, opposing the mighty Ayakashi Marcus !?" I turned around, it was a shadowy guy. ???:"An angry warrior, necrophile." Marcus:"HOW DID YOU CALL ME!?" I charged into him, but he stepped aside, grabbed out his knife and jumped onto my neck stabbing me, and didn't stop. The knife broke, I grabbed him at his neck and...it was Cucurion. Cucurion:"...M-M....Ma--..Marcus.....?" I threw him in the air, and made a spin and gave him a high kick to the back of the room. He flew THROUGH the wall onto the ground beneath it. No sounds anymore, I glided outside of the house. From now on, I'm not Marcus. From th-...NO!!..I DON'T WANT THIS!!...AACK...You got nothing to want. This is me. From now on, I'm not called pitiful Marcus Triun, but Xylus , Xylus Dangerius. I glided towards a house, opened the door...Fiona's house...Memories filled my head, but the Dark Powers sucked them in and I glided high up the air. I'm at turn now, Beshmendir and his whole kind will die. THEY WILL ALL DIE.

Marcus Triun - Part 37

What...The....FUCK!? ..I was broken, since they had let me down I fell with a huge smack onto the ground and my body started to burn everywhere...My bones were all broken (Metaphorically). Another Ayakashi entered the tent and I could see his face while I was lying on my back. He held out his hand, and showed his claw. He started to lick the tips of his fingers from that claw, they were covered in Blood. ???:"Where are my manners? Daemon is the name." He said the words with a gigantic evil grin. Marcus:"Get away from me...I don't want to hurt you." I winked. Daemon started to laugh in a absurd Demonic laugh. Daemon:"Hurting? Me? I think you owe me an apology. We Demons don't feel any pain." He changed form, from totally white, to a black, red eyed monster. He grabbed me, and lifted me into the air. My body was completely weak. Daemon said with a hellish voice:"You're coming with us !" Exactly at that moment an arrow got shot through the tent, directly in Daemon's arm. Daemon smiled while he saw blood sipping at his arm, and threw me onto a table with such power that the table broke in two. He grabbed the arrow and removed it with power and started licking up the blood. Then 15 arrows followed per second 1. Atleast 13 hit target, in Daemon's monstrous reincarnation. I picked up a piece from the table to lean on so I could easily walk away. Easier said then done, I first fell in my first attempt to even PICK UP the darn thing. Then finally, I stood and tried to waggle away while Daemon was still getting out the arrows with a gigantic smile on his face. Then suddenly more then 200 started to shoot everywhere and all through the whole tent. I jumped on the ground and tried to stay low. Lots of Ayakashi got hit, especially Daemon. Ofcourse Ayakashi won't feel the pain from the arrows. The other Ayakashi were gathering the blood from that Blood Elf, I tried to sneak out. And suddenly 7 witch hunters appeared, sneaking and running like assasins killing Ayakashi with fluent moves. 5 had to pick me up, and took me with them into the shadows. Daemon tried to slam onto us, but the 1000 arrows that penetrated his montrous arm, stopped him from sweeping us away with that arm. His arm started hanging and Daemon screamed, and quickly the witch hunters left the tent with me. I could see 50 with hunter archers shooting one arrow after another towards the tent. Sometimes even 5 at once. We stepped out from the shadow, and I could see the world again, and smell the world with all grace. At this moment it smelled like burned cloth and wood. Fire. Fire everywhere. Death. Death everywhere. The whole river was stocked with bodies, and the water wasn't water anymore. It was blood. I saw some Ayakashi, including Daemon, gliding away. Daemon held one arm up the air, grinned with his red eyes, and shot a a gigantic shadow bolt towards us. Enough. I jumped away from the witch hunters, stood on the ground, left leg forwards right one backwards. Both hands held forward and tried casting the gigantic shadow bolt back...But instead the shadow bolt infused into my Solerd hand and I absorbed the power and fell on my knees. Electricity grew all over my body, and I started to scream. Pain, and might. I stood up, eyes turning red, and glide into the air. I held out my Solerd arm to the Ayakashi and shot out an even greater Shadow bolt then ever before. The Ayakashi literally evaporated into the bolt, except for Daemon. I could see his red eyes glowing in the blow.The wind from the blow blew the witch hunters and me away. I fell , again , with a hard smack to the ground. I stood up, invisible gliding power around my back. My hair turned white, long. Normally black. And my eyes turned red, and my Solerd hand imbued with my black coloured body. I transformed, I'm a masterpiece. Now I will terrorize this world, and DESTROY this whole camp , everything ! Hunt down all the gods and goddesses , killing them all. Yes...Yes...YES! ???:" Hey ! Get down here! We only came to save the encampment, you're still our prisoner." I turned around ripped the unlucky one his heart out with only my mind. The heart flew to my hand, and I crushed it in my hand. The unlucky guys eyes rolled away and he fell with a lifeless smack to the ground, the others just turned into shadows and dissapeared. What...Why...Do I have all this blood on me? Gross...No I don't want to do this...NO! My Dark Powers slowly fainted, and I was sitting in the rain, in a dead camp, with dead people, blood everywhere. I sat on my knees and bended over with my knuckles in the mud...Fuck..I stood up and ran with topspeed to one of the walls, blew a hole in it and ran away. Fuck I recover fast. I could see a pass in the near distance, it said it was leading to Arishalore. But where was this place then? I saw a sign.


Niarlore.


I heard a voice talking in my head . ???:" Should you wish to learn your true destiny, and true Dark Powers. Then follow the piece of Solerd to the right destination, my son..." The voice was gone, and so was my sanity.

Marcus Triun - Part 36

Weeks, and eventually months passed while I was there. The kid, Cucurion, was getting stronger and better and faster with the day. And I, also became a year older. 20 to be precise , anyhow the kid became better at everything. From swordmanship to archery, so now and then the Witch Hunters appeared to check on everyone, and I felt they were also looking at us. ALOT. Sometimes they just stood there, hours looking at me and Cucurion training/practicing. However, today was bow training, and as always rain and no sunshine anywhere. The kid now shot from 500 metres distance into the tree. Exactly in the cross that I had scratched onto it. And he ran as fast as he could back to pick it up again, and shoot again from the distance. He became faster and faster, since that running made his legs very strong. Archery was for the arm muscles and sword mastery was mostly for his upper body muscles. His main body ( his eight pack ) was trained by doing those sit - ups and push - ups. When he came running back the 7th time, and pulled out the arrow of the tree I nodded. Marcus :" Enough, your training is done for today. Since you ran so fast, so you can head out an rest some bit." Cucurion :" Thanks Marcus." but then suddenly Helen came running up, ofcourse we both waved, but when she came closer to us we could see and hear she was crying and screaming. Cucurion ran so hard he almost tripped over some rocks. I ran after him ofcourse, in curiosity. She almost fell on the ground if Cucurion didn't directly catched her, and held her up. Helen:" The--...The...They....Got dad." She even started to cry louder and louder. Fuck . Cucurion:" Who is they Helen? Helen answer me !" Helen:" I don't know ! They came from nowhere, and they started to kill the jailors of this encampment for nothing!" I nodded. Marcus:" How did they look like? What were they? " It seemed Helen was abit calmed, and she started to speak again:" I don't really recall...They all had white hair an--..." I interrupted her:" and red eyes?" She nodded. FUCK, Ayakashi ! Marcus:"Cucurion, stay with your sister and run as far as you can, take this with you." I gave him a pouch full of gunpowder, and some firestones. Marcus:"I stole them while the jailors weren't watching. Now go, go to the southern side of this stadium, and blow up the wall so you can both leave." Cucurion:" But.." Marcus:"NOW!" Cucurion accepted the pouch with firestones and attached it to his pants, then he lifted Helen and went off with a very quick sprint. Damnit. I however, ran to the settlement as fast as I could on my naked feet. I saw smoke rising up, nononono FUCKING HOBO'S !...I ran faster and faster...I could see the river, bodies were stacked into it, the whole river had turned red. No no no no...I ran at my utmost speed, and I suddenly stopped. There I was. Suddenly eye to eye with a dead Heldin hanging with his legs...I mean leg.. tied to a lamppost, eyes cut out of his body and left arm and right leg missing. I turned around and fell on my knees starting gagging...I could see an Ayakashi fighting a witch hunter in the distance, the witch hunter tried to melt with his environment but he was too slow. The Ayakashi literally ripped off both his arms, and started to eat from his body...Disgusting...I suddenly felt I got lifted up, from an instinct I turned around , gave the guy/girl/thing a smack onto the face , and a fist to his stomach so he felt on the ground. I sat on him punching his face in with one hand, and with the other hand I grabbed a rock smacking it on his face. I was covered in blood. It was a witch hunter. GAH...I directly stood up and threw the rock onto the ground. I gotta look for survivors, I ran in all kinds of tents, all empty. Then I went into Heldin's tent, and there were 5 Ayakashi sniffing in Heldin's stuff. Marcus:"STOP YOU ASS-FUCKING DOGS !" I saw a kitchen knife lying onto the ground, covered in blood, picked it up and ran towards an Ayakashi and knived his neck open, then an Ayakashi appeared in my back, I stabbed him into the knee (sounds familiar) , crouched so the Ayakashi in front of me hitted the Ayakashi behind me. Then I ... ???:"STOP!" Another Ayakashi entered the te--...This was no Ayakashi. But a Blood - Elf. I turned my face so I could see him better...This...Blood elf...Seemed damn familiar... ???:" Remember me? You bloody fuckers took my son." He kicked me backwards so I fell on my back. He held one foot onto my stomach, and started to kick onto it. I simply grabbed his foot and broke it, and pushed his leg away so also he, fell on the ground. ???:" GRAB HIM!!...ACK...My foot ! GET ME UP !" I got lifted by the rest of the Ayakashi and got held up by a painful way. The blood elf approached and started hitting me on every body part you could imagine. Also on my face, I could hear bones break everywhere. I was totally broken...Forreal.. Marcus:"..*panth*...Wh-....Who...Are you...?" ???:"I'm Elfandos. Elfandos Dante, and these sons o' bitches will grant me one wish before they'll take a little bit of my blood to ressurect their almighty Succubus. And my wish was to take you to our hideout and kill you there. With my bare hands. " He went outside, and came back again shortly with two rocks. One in each hand. And he started throwing them at my face, FUCK THAT HURT...And he kept throwing, and throwing...Marcus:"ENOUGH !!!" The blood elf's body directly splattered up into a flash of blood and the rock he held in his hand also splattered. The whole room was covered in blood, and so were all the Ayakashi. They put me down, and started to bow before me. What...The...FUCK!?

Marcus Triun - Part 35

Heldin:" Well, we call it Afterworld." Marcus:" Came up with that name yourself?" I said while I was removing the mask tied on my face. Heldin:"Basically, yes. It's based on AFTERlife and World." Marcus:"I see. So what exactly, will we be doing here? And what time is it?" Heldin:"We're gladiators. And we all don't know since the sun doesn't shine here, it only rains, and rains, and rains...So much for my pension." Heldin sat down, and was looking to the ground in deep thoughts. Marcus:" So, Cucurion is your real son?" Heldin woke up from his trance:" ...HM!?..Wha--...Yes he is." I looked from Cucurion, which was walking around the settlement with all kinds of pots and pans which he all dropped on the ground, to Heldin the wise (still pretty muscular for his age) old man. Marcus:"I'm not trying to offend either of you, but he doesn't look very like you, or Helen." Helen was washing some dishes at a river, that flowed through the settlement. Heldin:"Honestly, I don't know what to do. He's a total idiot, and can barely stand on his own damn feet and try to not flip over...But he is my son, and I do love him...But...I don't know really." Marcus:"Well I could train him for you, my body is already at it's utmost so it won't be a problem training him, whilst I'm here. I still have to get back to Arishalore though." Heldin:" Arisha-who?" Marcus:"Don't mind it, I will head over to Cucurion." I walked away, and I saw Cucurion picking up all the pans and pots he dropped for the second time. Marcus:" Cucurion, leave those pots and pans, walk with me for a moment we gotta talk." Cucurion nodded, and followed me. People were staring in my back, I could just feel their eyes poking in my back. We went to a little place where 3 dummies were placed, 3 wooden swords and a bow. There were also 5 lampposts around it to keep it lighted and there were also some iron chains. Marcus:"I want you to do some push - ups." Cucurion was looking at me like I was crazy. I said with a very serious tone :" Do...It..." He directly started dealing with his push - ups. He didn't even get to 14. Ho boy. Marcus:" Come on ! Put some power in it, sooner or later you'll have to fight as a gladiator and then you won't survive, you miserable piece of shit !" That obviously worked, since he started to do his push-ups more serious and alot more faster. All with all he did 93. It was a start. Marcus:" Get up kid, and grab a wooden sword." Cucurion stood up, and grabbed the wooden sword. Marcus:" Hold it in this position..And then...Ah good you got it! Now hit that dummy 75 times without taking breaks." It took him 3 hours in total to do it without breaks. Marcus:" Now some sit-ups." Apparently this was easy peasy lemon squeezy for him since he did 250. Fair enough. Marcus:"Pick up that bow and arrow, and I'll mark a spot on the tree that you'll have to hit. First from 20 metres, then 60 , then 150, and then totally from the campside. And if you fail, you'll have to repeat until you can finally do it." First shot was a direct hit. Second shot also a direct hit, third shot took him 12 tries. And believe it or not, but the last shot he did in 100 times, exactly. And we only had one arrow, so he had to keep running from the campplace to the trainingsite, back to the campplace and keep on doing that routine until he finally hit straight. He was totally worn out, and apparently his sister had been watching us for awhile since she had warm water for his feet, cold water to drink and food ready for him. Marcus:" Now you just do that 5 times a week, and everything will be alright. And when you're up to it, you increase the difficulty everytime a little bit. So it stays a challenge. Cucurion:" Sir yes sir." We both smiled at each other. Now I'll have to find out who the fuck wants me here. I know I can just break out of here, tear a building apart but that would just destroy the fun. I'll just let those stadium - keepers THINK they are in control...But believe me...They aren't...I grinned deeply from the inside.

Marcus Triun - Part 34

I opened my eyes, the floor was so cold I couldn't even feel my body anymore. I couldn't feel the blood flowing through my veins anymore...Everything I gazed at was blurry-ish. I could see 3 blobs moving in the distance, while I was apparently lying on my back and my hea--...Wait. I wasn't on the floor. I was upside down, I just felt it. I'm upside down and I'm tied with my legs to the ceiling. FUCK, I tried to flap out my wings..But....They didn't appear and it started to burn like hell in my body...They were cut off. I couldn't feel them anymore. Atleast, my left wing had a little stump left, which I could flap up and down only. FUCK. My hands were tied, and a mask was put on my mouth to keep me silent. My hand, made of that certain material , Solerd , it had some rough edges made on because I probably got carried over the ground. Rough rocks I propose. It was night and I could see it was raining since my sight became better and better. What the fuck am I doing here, the wind was so cold that I could feel the rain even burning into my skin. Eventhough I suppose even the rain was really cold. My armor was stolen, and so was my robe. I was hanging there , with only a plain pants on... I was stuck to a lamppost, with iron chains. I did a sit up to get hold of the iron chain that held my legs high up in the air. I some of my firepower to melt the iron to break it. *clunk* I fell with a hard smack to the ground . Marcus:" FUCK.." The chains from my legs broke atleast. Now I have to escape. I could see pretty well now, and I was in somekind of big backyarden. The flora and fauna were black red -ish . What the fuck, this wasn't Arishalore. The 3 blobs appeared to be other people. They approached, and they had somekind of same clothing on I had. ???:" How did you get yourself free from that post? We thought you were...Dead..." He shivered of my scar / blood filled body. Marcus :"Fire can melt through anything, if it has some decent degrees." ???:" So you're a mage?" Marcus:"I'm a Demi - God . " ???:" HAHA, if you are one, show us your wings and your morph transformations." Damnit...The only problem was that my wings were cut off. ???:" I see that you haven't slept very well up there. And I suppose I can understand you had a wild dream, come with us to our shacks. I'm Heldin by the way, and that's my son Cucurion, and my daughter Helen." I could see the old man was wise, and went through alot of crap. The son however, looked pretty puny and I think he could barely keep a sword above his head. His daughter, on the other hand, looked pretty handsome...Although I didn't know her age. I think she was like my little brother 's age. We approached their little settlement a campfire was on and 6 to 8 tents were standing there. People were walking from one place to another to make food etc. Heldin :" Now, we told you our names and showed our places. But who are you?" Marcus:" I'm the heirloom of a Goddess. I'm called Marcus Triun." Heldin:" Never heard of, and I'm thinking you're still going mad, Marcus. Maybe they had put a little bit too much poison into your body." He smiled. Oh yeah..I got...Fiona was there! I'm sure of it..Wait...He talked about a poison. Marcus:" What kind of poison did they actually give tot me?" Heldin:" After our captures they all give us illusioning poisons, they practically make you paralyzed so you can't move and then you're starting illusioning about things so you see or know where they're taking you." Marcus:"Aha, I understand"I broke the chains around my wrists just simply by flexing my arm muscles. Finally totally free, Heldin and his kids were looking at me. Especially his daughter was looking at my body with certain interest. I went on with talking: "...But if you say this...Then where the fuck are we?!"
