Eshaaxe: Chapter II



← As I got older, things looked like they were going better for my dad. He always told me things would be okay, and that the demons wouldn't ever be able to hurt us, but he also told me if anything ever happened to him, I'd have to be in charge of Eshaaxe.. And I would be able to fight the wars. The thought of war was exhilarating to me, I had always wanted to fearlessly charge into battle, taking down anyone who threatened Eshaaxe, but my dad always tried to teach me to show remorse. Once, he brought an enemy prisoner from the war home to me. Worried, I asked if we were going to kill him. He replied with "No.. He is just wrongly taught.." and he let him go. I never liked showing mercy though.. Not to them. If they attack my county, and then me, I wouldn't ever want to show them mercy, but I always complied with what he said, hoping I would get rewarded with power or fighting, or even training. I never got anything though. I was always treated like a baby, and I was tired of it. I told him I was tired of the way he was treating me, and that I wanted to fight like him. He told me that he was fighting to protect me and everyone else he loved, and that me fighting with him would defeat the purpose, so I ran away from my home in hopes that I could find someone to teach me how to fight. After days of searching without food, I eventually came across a cult-like tribe known as the "Spectral Order" that agreed to teach me how to fight, but only if I fought alongside them. I was desperate, and I didn't want to go back, so I accepted their offer. Knowing I didn't have any special powers like some others do, they gave me a wide variety of weapons to train with, telling me each one had their own unique "gift". I chose a good sized one handed sword, and they told me its gift was "Extreme agility in combat". I trained with the Spectral Order for multiple months, and by the end of my training nobody could best me in a fight, and I could strike at the speed of sound with my sword. Then they told me it was time to fulfill my end of the deal, and that we were going to fight my father's army in the Spirit War. →
