章 2: A New Era

The Dark elves, these were the Moon elves that have betrayed the Moon Goddess, Alathia as they succumbed to the abyss,and were filled with dark energy, the original pale white skin of the noble Elves turned ashen. Devoid of the light that had once filled them with the power of life,light and love. The Dark elves were outcasts as the noble Moon Elves only considered those whom served the goddess of light as one of their kin. Because of this the Dark elves are forced to resort to other means to survive. Some Dark Elves would remain lost, and find ways to redeem themselves, while others turned to the Blood Demon Queen, Alice whom accepted the Dark Elves like they were her own children.

In this world filled with battle and death, what more could they be than revered assassins. They are often hired by other races to do the work in the shadows as the elves did not wish to associate with them as they were banished from the Alathia's light. The parents of Karina and Selena were both Dark Elves as they have strayed from the way of light and into the darkness, due to their betrayal the punishment too affected both of their children and have become Dark elves aswell. Unable to bear the punishment and humiliation, both parents killed themselves for betraying their goddess leaving the two sisters behind. The older sister Karina, had to earn a living for the sake of his younger sister. Training, killing and stealing was the norm for them both. This is were the beginning of the game of blood begins.....

Huuuuuuhhhhh...Another normal day, Karina thought as she was skinning a creature alive, surrounded by other Dark Elves in robes. It was tied upside down in a humiliating fanshion, the creature had a humanoid figure with green skin and large physique, this was a Green-Skinned Orc. The squeals of the orc could be heard every time the edge of one of her treasured twin shadow blades. would scrape his skin. "Im not stopping till you tell me where and when that Orc commander of yours is planning his next attack on the Moniyan Empire." said Karina with her usual cold and intimidating voice. Interrogation and torture where one of the few skill sets Karina had learned as a child to fend for herself and her younger sister Selena. Although she did not approve of the things, she would do it anyway as she simply had no choice as the elves and some other races were not willing to work with her simply because her skin was purple.

She and her sister had nowhere to go so they were taken in by the other Dark Elves and soon they trained her to be an assassin. However the Dark Elves did not expect that this "little girl" that they would be training would then become a powerful monster in the future, as she became one of the strongest assassins within the group of the Dark Elves.

Still scraping of the skin of the Orc"I will never tell you anything about General Balmond! nothing gaaaaahhhh! " exclaimed the Green-Skinned still squirming in pain as he was hanging upside down. Orcs weren't exactly known for their intelligence, they were known for their brutality and incredible strength, despite that.This Orc was in a very pitiful state, he was upside down, bleeding in nearly every inch of his body. In the midst of all this pain he was being healed. Yes this was the torture that they used for such creatures. It was not the pain that would get to him but the psychological trauma that was being inflicted to him, it was fear. A fear that would make creatures that relied on their strength to talk, a fear so great that it was as if the weight of the world was on you.

However this Green-Skinned Orc, had already failed the moment he said his commanding officers name. "That is all I need, stop healing it and let it bleed." The other Dark Elves then listened to her orders, these were one of the neutral parties that didn't want to join Blood Demon Queen, Alice.

They still wanted to somehow redeem themselves to by showing their faith to the Moon Godess Alathia, however they only strayed further away everytime they would kill, and do their jobs.

They had no choice, they needed to survive however they were always being discriminated by the Moon Elves as an inferior race. The other races fearful that the Moon Elves may deal with them when they tried to help them only made the condition of the Dark Elves worse.

"Wait! Before you leave me I have a message for you, it is the arrival of a new dawn, a new era, even if I tell you this you cannot escape what is to come next." Said the Green-Skinned Orc. "Kill him." Karina said with new found vigor in her she then proceeded to walk away

While she was walking the other Dark Elves simply slit his throat with one of the enchanted dual blades. "Now where did I put my other blade?" As soon as Karina said that the corpse of the green-skinned orc suddenly began to float upwards suprising the Dark-Elves, Karina in turn looked back in horror to see that the eyes of Green-Skinned Orc where burning, as if it was a bright blue flame. It is being possessed, Karina thought as the mouth of the Green-Skinned Orc opened. "Why, are my children slaying my pawns?" The one speaking was none other than the Blood Demon Queen herself, she emitted an incredibly powerful aura, an aura that reeks of death itself. "My poor children come back to me, and serve the abyss, the elves do not want you, and so do the other races, join me and you can finally take your revenge to those who have done you harm."

The Green-Skinned Orc then opened his mouth projecting magical flames that projected an army, it was a gigantic army of Orcs. However these were not the common Green-Skinned Orcs, this was an army of Red-Skinned Orcs or High Orcs. The Dark Elves were shocked to see so many Red-Skinned Orcs including Karina, whom was showing a cold attitude earlier was now incredibly fearful, she now knew the power of the Blood Demon Queen Alice. ""Why are you so surprised my children, this is only the beginning, the beginning of a new era."
