CHAPTER 1

I walked down the dusty path. "I must gain power....even if it means I must let the devil consume my soul.......I must get revenge even if it means even greater pain......I must kill my enemies even if it means going to Hell! I WILL GET REVENGE." I swore to myself. My village had been attacked by a band of thieves. It was burnt to the ground. The worst thing is that the gang was lead by my brother. I remember that night so well.......

"Daniel! Wake up Daniel! Hurry!"...... I heard my moms voice cutting through my dreams. I woke up and looked around. My mother was standing at my bedside. "Mother! What is it?! Whats wrong?!" I screamed. She handed me my sword and kunais and told me to run quick. "Why? What is it mother?" Then I heard the shreaks of pain and the howls of laughter. I smelt the smoke and saw the flames. I jumped from the bed. "Grrr...... stressed Who would do this?! scream Stay here mother! I will get to the bottom of this!" I ran out of the room and dodged the flames.Along the way i grabbed the little children that were huddled in the corner crying with their dead parents infront of them. I carried the children outside.I turned around and saw the burning village from the outside. It was terrible! "Well, well, well.....Daniel! It's been a while."
I spun around. It was my big brother who had run away two years ago. "Marcus? The village is burning! Hurry we have to rescue everyone!" I said. Marcus cackled "Ignorant, naive little brother....... I know damn well that the village is burning.........In fact i put it in its current state. In words your insulant mind can comprehend.... I put it on fire in the first place. Well me and my friends that is."
"Why? Why would you do this? We are your family!" I frowned. He just shrugged and said "Do my motives really matter?" I growled "I.....why would......but.....GAH!"
Marcus took a kunai from his pocket and held it at my neck." Come on, Daniel. Don't try to resist. It will be much simpler to join us......" I shook my head. I opened my mouth but no words could come out. Marcus paused. He thought for sure i would join him. "Well then... Go ahead.....uhh...just try and stop me!"
I smiled. I quickly drew my katana from its seath and cut at him. He jumped back and met my blade with the kunai he had held to my neck. I tossed a kunai at him but he dodged it quickly. Then to follow up he ran at me and slashed at my chest. He put a deep cut into my body. I fell to the ground and shrieked in pain. He walked up to me, kneeled down next to me, grabbed my head and pulled my ears up to his mouth and he said "Are you sure u dont want to reconsider joining me?" I stayed silent because i couldnt speak in this pain. But i was able to cut at his face with a kunai. He dropped my head and stood up, screaming in pain. "DAMN YOU! I swear by the fires of hell i will get revenge! I wont rest till this whole family perishes!" He backed off holding his eye and ran into the forest. I stood up and ran back towards the burning town. I was almost there but then it collapsed. I heard a familiar shrill scream. "MOTHER!!!" I cried.The village was gone. I fell to my knees and cried into my hands. Finally i stood up and yelled as loud as i could "MARCUS! IF YOU'RE OUT THERE IM JUST GONNA WARN YOU THAT YOU HAD BETTER WATCH OUT! I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN! AND I WILL FINISH THIS! I SWEAR IT TO THE SOUL OF MY......mother....... crying "

That was 5 years ago.... And i still haven't found Marcus yet. I'm not even sure if they were even still alive...... But i wont give up until I find proof. Never. Never will I break my promise of Marcus's death. Never.
