Chapter 4 - When

"Your excellency, this expedition is in safe hands. I, Kotaro Shenjin, will personally lead our army to the Grelfield forests and exterminate the twelfth demon beast horde! Until my last breath leaves me, my sword shall never falter! Place your trust in me , my queen..."

A stately gentleman can be seen kneeling in a magnificent throne room. Palatial walls adorned with gilded depictions of mesmerising koi tenaciously climbing towards the dragon's gate surrounded the congregation of nobles and officials that now bow before a beautiful woman. Dressed in long flowing swathes of silk like cloth, large blue eyes calmly observe her subjects. Atop her long beautiful hair lies a dainty crown fashioned from crystals so perfectly cut that their beauty is magnified by a thousand times.

"It isn't that I don't believe you will risk your life for this job Shenjin but that I worry about your boiling blood and hot headedness. I dont dare imagine what might happen to you if you met some other kingdom's official and hurt him.", said the queen.

"Why would I randomly hurt an official? My queen you can trust me"

"You can hurt them randomly, don't you remember that time you hung an official up in the archer tower after he won a bet against you?"

"That is-"

"And what of the time you nearly executed the prince of the Zenshu empire because you thought he looked like a theif?"

"But h-"

"And what about when you punched the brother of the King of Freyordia because he ate the last peice of pastry at the banquet?"

"He asked for it! I clearly had my eye on it and he just grabbed it without any respect for me!"

"It was his wedding Shenjin, he can eat anything he wants at his own wedding..."

"...", Shenjin's face turned bright red after he lost the argument. The queen started giggling at the shy aura he began emitting. As the joyful sound of her laughter filled the throneroom, Shenjin and all the others behind him looked up at the queen with drool dripping from the corner of their mouths. The queen really was a beauty that could bring down nations and cause gods to fall from the skies just for a chance to see her smile.

"Alright Shenjin my brave knight, I, Queen Xin Xue of the Hexalia Empire give thee thine orders. In the name of the Hexalia Empire, vanquish the twelfth demon beast horde. You now represent the face of this kingdom and the object of hope for its people and me, your queen. Kotaro Shenjin, go forth and destroy the empire's enemies!", as the queen finished her speech, her face slowly turning red from the exertion of speaking so long without breath, the nobles amd officials slowly rose from their bows and with great fervor yelled

"FOR HEXALIA, FOR THE QUEEN, FOR FREEDOM"(Au: queue the murica music)

At the same time as this passionate bunch were beginning preparations for their departure on this mission, in Grelfield forests a blinding light engulfed the woods around for thousands of li. The large green mountains that surrounded the Grelfield forests blocked the light from leaving the center of the densely wooded area. The Grelfield forests were a mysterious place which many countries and kingdoms would avoid at all costs, even monsters dared not venture too deep lest they become prey to the forest. Rumor has spread in all the kingdoms that know of the place that hundreds of millennia ago, a great ancestral god fell from the celestial realm and as his powerful body fell it burned with great heat and shone brighter than the sun. Truly if one were to look down on the forests from great height they would notice that the mountains were simply the earth pushed up around a craters edge. Whether it was a dying god or just a meteorite, I'll leave that to your imagination.

As the brilliant light at the center of the forest began to fade, the outline of a thin man began to form. Slowly the outline gained blood and bones grew from the shadows of the mist that surrounded the body. Flesh spilled forth from the bones as wire like material tightly wrapped skeletal structure while transforming into muscle. The mist gathered at the head and chest of the figure. As the mists compressed it began to condense into pure white, glowing drops of liquid that seeped into the freshly formed skin.

As the figure of the man became complete, eyelids formed on his face amd then ears. Slowly his features became much more defined, if anyone were there to witness this scene they would be extremely shocked as it seemed that the very heavens were giving birth. As time progressed, the plants and trees that gaurded the mans body began to produce fibers as the very earth beneath the figure rushed to fawn upon the creation and dress him. Clothes similar to a blue striped hoodie that felt familiar took shape. After the figure was clothed, all came to rest and the mist disappeared. Ever so slowly, the eyes of figure cracked open and a powerful gleam shone in the pupils of the son of heaven. Eric Sullivan had awakened, the great god of dubstep will make his reign absolute!

'Why the hell am I in a forest? Dummy Pantheon! Stupid Pantheon! Couldn't you at least put me near a city! You vagrant beast! How can you just abduct me and throw me away after doing whatever you want to my body! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!!!'

At the great pantheon, shockingly a drop of sweat emerged from one of the pillars....
