PHASE ONE

FOUR DAYS AGO...
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXBluokAg
Walking down the dark alley of this street, this man in his red robes calm as though of different existence in the present, had that insane grin on his lips, with the red moon of this night bearing the same devilish grin, but one thing was recognizable, that whip which seemed to be alive as it lashed at the air, pinning for its prey.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3KlnAOjQv
Taking a sharp bend, the man appeared on another street and just ahead of this alley appeared that bronze gate bearing the emblem of a crow standing on the nozzle of the Silver Night Wolf - the emblem of the Balkyre Family. The bells of this town tolled themselves as midnight approached and the grin of this man widened as his prey became closer. Stopping before the gate, he brought out that stopwatch from within his robes, staring at its ticking hands, Lord Raven was excited, as today was the day that history was about to rewrite itself.

Madam Theonis sat at the head of her table drinking her tea calmly - trying to, one could say, with another man seated at the other end of the table, he to calmly drinking form his glass of wine.

"Was that why you invited me to your mansion ?" The man asked.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G8Pqg2Enl
"Of course Theonis", Theonis replied, the dread of the previous night still in her eyes, "Balkyre Fang is really a threat to achieving the Dukedom and our goals."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMqBhWfXvs
"That means he must be eliminated", the man sighed as he played with the wine in his glass, "let's see how much of a demon he really is." That grin took over the man's lips.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIRD6AgPV4
"Be careful Barzak", Theonis warned her third subordinate, "from what I've seen, Fang might be real monster."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJFR2WS8Cp
"There's no monster that doesn't have a weakness." Barzak of the Mane's Citadel replied.

"It seems like you don't understand your situation dear sir", Lord Raven said, standing before the Vampires seated at that banquet table, only staring at the one who was seated at the head of it, "I am a descendant of yours", Lord Raven calmly explained, "and I'm here to not only take your life but the first sword of Balkyre family as well."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfOO32ZbHj
"Impudent !" First patriarch, Balkyre Foran cursed, "not only claiming to be my descendant, but threatening to take the first sword of the Balkyre family ? You must be mad for making such a statement."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSNzVrRugJ
"Why do you think that I'm crazy from what I'm certain over ?" Lord Raven sighed, drawing that purple quail from his robes and waving it into the air, he transformed everyone in the room into a heap of dust, "do you believe me now patriarch Feron ?" Lord Raven asked.

PHASE TWO
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q1zFhZP93
"You underestimate my capabilities my prince", Balkyre Fang said from his table as the people attending the banquet stared at the noble prince speaking with the black sheep of the family, "not only can I help you gain the Dukedom of the Balkyre family, I can also help you gain control of the six realms entire dark empire."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX4WlemHHY
"What you mean is that you're capable of granting me control over the entire dark empire ?" Prince Megraz asked.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5CeWRy8MZ
"I never speak beyond my capabilities prince Megraz", Balkyre Fang said, "if I said I was going to give you the ends of the world, I can give it to you in a matter of seconds."

"Do you believe me now patriarch Feron ?" Lord Raven said as his whip lashed at the air like a writhing snake, the flare in his brown eyes igniting themselves to a savage intensity.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnv9lncPEz
"You must pay you imposter", Balkyre Feron said, as he bore out his fangs and claws, that aureole of red lightning falling from the the thundering skies struck him, transforming his being into a burning form wielding that fiery blade.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJUzXswAA1
"The blade of dark flames.", Lord Raven laughed.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHkBTHtZ3k
"You want the blade of dark flames", Feron challenged, "then you must be ready to face its wrath, because I'm not sure that you are capable of withstanding even a single blow from it."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNz1BhF1xL
"The blade of dark flames", Lord Raven repeated smiling, "it's already mine."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQOqCNNugb
"You make me laugh ignorant fool", Feron frayed through the distance, leaping into the air, he made a mighty slash at Lord Raven with the blade of dark flames.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCE1xQfBn7
Lord Raven stared at the pitiful vampire with the gaze of the victor staring at his already defeated opponent.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6slI0FDEhG
"It will be easier if you just stay still", Lord Raven said clicking his thumb, transforming Balkyre Feron into a fading mass of dust, with the falling blade of dark flames flying into his palms, transforming itself into a scroll, which Lord Raven placed within his cloak.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHYz3h1Rqn
Turning around, about to leave, the appearance of this banquet hall transformed into a barren abyss of dark sandstorms.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC51Cin6DS
"Why do you challenge", that dark being appearing behind Lord Raven said, "the preordained ?"
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0auoI6rP2
"Because there's no way", Lord Raven replied as he turned around to confront the being, "I can achieve my objective without playing a bit with history's fabrics.", waving his hands, Lord Raven transformed the dark being into a floating mass of dust.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAp0sdBgRg
"You can't run forever hidden one", the dark being challenged, "your actions are being felt by the masters."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NyEUtM7MD
"Then let them come after me !" Lord Raven answered his challenge.

"The winds of Phelmur have changed directions and history is rewriting itself", Arch Sage Varna said, "sisters !" she yelled to the moonlit skies, "we must rise to the call of the Erama."

Seated on her throne, that raving wall of alternating ideograms before her flared brighter as their angles transformed unceasingly.

"What must have happened", Olana smiled, "that would make even the Erama tremble at this arcane being's breath ?"

"Give me the six realms of the dark empire", prince Megraz repeated, "I do not doubt you but, you must first show me what you are capable of by how you handle your siblings." Prince Megraz said rising from his seat at Fang's table.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyhIuNOrRL
"I'll be waiting to hear from you soon my friend", the prince said walking away.

"Just as they said", Balkyre Erva mused, "the second prince is now friends with my younger brother and here I thought he was nothing but an ordinary drunkard."

"Wasn't Theonis able to deal with him ?" Ludgar asked standing beside his master at the Balkyre's banquet.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsXMvDBV0O
"If she was I don't think Fang will be attending this banquet ceremony", Erva said, "if he did, then it's would be his ghost standing here."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MgJC0g5oC
"That means she failed." Ludgar concluded.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVeqRQoypH
"Or what is standing before us is the ghost of Balkyre Fang.", Erva said.

"I read that the patriarch Balkyre Feron had lived to a ripe old age", Desmator Mcvaller said smiling as he discussed with the head of the Balkyre family at that table which also had the patriarch of all the seven elite families seated.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXny77mxxb
"And that the sword of dark flames", Desmator continued, "is now lying in the secret basement of the Balkyres."

"You should have watched your words old man", Balkyre Fang said as he watched the group of seven patriarchs from his table.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHFCpkGo4d
Bringing out that ticking stopwatch from his pocket, Fang concluded, "because the timeline of things are about to change."

Lord Raven's eyes glistened as he stood before that blazing wall with a length stretching to the ends of infinity and it's height reaching the thundering skies. Stretching his right hand forward, Lord Raven placed the scroll on the surface of this wall. The wall shone brighter than before as it consumed the scroll into its core, then a change was enacted, a change that distorted its shape making it shatter into endless burning clouds of dense red.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBeIvp1uuJ
Lord Raven watched intently as those endless rows of ticking clocks took form within the burning clouds, their hands running anticlockwise at an insane speed, making the depths of the earth on which Lord Raven stood tremble.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpC08ds82I
"Indeed the timeline of history has been changed." Lord Raven sighed, "but it's still not over yet."
