A NEW ERA

Clink!clank!woosh, a gust of wind followed as two sword met . The ground shook and dirt scattered as the battle was about to reach its peak. Two men stood facing each other a few meters away from each other. It was dark ,there was heavy rain and the looked like shadows . The field had white flowers and they stretched as far as the eye could see and above this beautiful battlefield was a menacing looking blood red moon . One of then had a katana with a gold and black hilt with a red blade and the other had a large rusty broadsword with a silver hilt . Blood was flowing heavily from each of them but they didnt stop or falter , they only got faster , stronger , better .White flowers and blood flew around as a grand battle took place . There were no fancy moves or extreme powers that could slice mountain or rock the earth itself used, this was a pure fight , just two men ,two swords , two era's, fighting for survival. This was not a battle of right or wrong , good bad , this was a battle of ideology's.

The blood red mon above them was at its peak just as the battle reached its peak . Both of the men went into their stances , everything fell on this moment , on this second , it was as if time stilled itself just for this moment .....woosh! They moved faster than the eye could see and they're swords met each other at the middle ..... splat !Blood drops fell on the beautiful white flowers.

====================================

Imperial palace in the imperial capital of the Roseburg empire, ireian continent

A maid who had just been enlisted into the palace maids was walking towards the quarters of the third imperial prince .This was just a front though , she was actually an assassin from the shadow moon assassins guild hired by an unknown client to go kill the third imperial prince . She was one of the few top level assassins from her guild , going by the name 'beautiful calamity' . She had an excellent track record where she only failed 3 mission in her career total of 357 missions . This was going to be her most important mission yet .She had a less than 1% chance of survival the second she went in the palace but there was a price to everything and she was prepared for it . She was one of the few people in history who tried to assassinate an imperial prince of an empire as massive as roseburg empire. The third imperial prince of the roseburg empire while not the most important or the strongest prince was one of the few top princes who had a Duke backing him . Se was a powerhouse in the empire and she was going to assasinate him, well she was going to try and assassinate him as this was the most dangerous mission she had ever taken . The money and the fame she would recieve was well worth it for such a dangerous mission . She walked across through the large hallways , tall statues and massive courtyard's to reach the quarters of the third imperial prince . There were a few maids walking around but they were all going towards their areas . She walked slowly towards the office of the imperial prince . Strangely there were no maids in this part of the quarters . She heard voices from the rooms and she quickly masked her presence using the heavy mana in the air and leaned on the door and listened to the voices.

"We should start moving soon the second prince is already gathering his forces we cant let him get it before us. He already has a large number of the noble houses supporting him ."

"There's no need to worry everything is according to my plan . The only reason he lives is because of the old man who is already one foot in the grave . The only person who worry's me is carius . He has gotten arrogant enough to think he is on my level , he is my equal and he is plotting something of which I haven't a clue . He is the wild card in all of this ."

" I hope you have everything under control , i dont want to lose everything i built because you weren't prepared for the other princes . I will try and get more noble houses to join our cause but dont expect anything. Have you talked to the Duke about it ?"

"He is still reluctant to do anything . He just needs a slight push in the right direction then he will help us ."

"Good if we get him to move then everything will be perfect .Though there is one thing I am curious about , what are we supposed to do with 'him' ?"

"We will do...nothing about to him after all what can we do against him at this time we only need to focus on the others them we can focus on 'him'."

" I will take my leave now your highness . "

Beautiful calamity quickly got up from the large door and was about to quickly dash out to another area in the quarters when she heard.

"one more thing if I may... take care of the rat hidden in my quarters for me "

"It would be my pleasure your highness "

Her eye's widened as she ran through the quarters to get to the doors to get out . She was about to go through the doors when she suddenly found herself in front of a large fat man who had golden hair , golden eyes , golden brows and blue eyes . All of his attire had the same coat of arms , a lion and he had an amused smile on his face . There was only one person she could think of , Bloodthirsty marquess thiron . Her faced paled as quickly turned around and tried to run the other way .

"We cant have rats running around the imperial palace now can we ."

she couldn't register what happened as she suddenly found her neck in his fingers .

"please , please dont kill me ,let me live I'll tell you anything you want , please. "

Tears poured out of her eyes as she begged to live .She thought she was prepared to die but now that she was at death's door she was terrified .

"Look at that, even rats can beg "

Crack! her neck was snapped .Her body crumpled to the ground .

"come collect this trash "before he hurried outfof the Prince's quarters .

====================================

Plains of nahzargul, continent evernight where the sun never shined.

There was a gathering here , a gathering of some of the most powerful men and women on evernight continent . Contracts , assassinations, plots , conspiracies they did it all . The 7 of them joined together years ago for one specific goal , the other things were just a front for them .

"She failed "

"Perfect"

"As expected of them "

"Yes they did well "

"This will alert the roseburg empire's higher ups to the assassination attempt while we get to do our plan "

"It was a good choice to hand her the job , it was a death sentence for her when we sent the assassins guild outdated information "

"quiet " A powerful voice sounded from the back of the room .The room went from being noisy to being absolute stillness . A tall 7 foot man sat on a chair at the back of the small room ,he wore a dark cloak and in the dark cloak you could see fiery red eyes but it was as if the fire in his eyes was dwindling every second. He had pale skin from the few spot's left uncovered by the cloak .

"We shouldn't underestimate the roseburg empire, they might find out our plan and destroy everything I've worked for. We need to be as quiet as possible when carrying out our plan , moriana you can start and if any of you gets caught you know what to do "

With that he went out of the room in slow steady steps .

For a second nobody said anything .then

" He unsettles me "

" We only need to do our job and he'll do his ,that's all that matter ."

"Well moriana you better get going on your mssion we wouldn't want you to be late ." A red haired man with no pupils said as he stared at a white haired woman with golden eyes and who was wearing a blood red dress , moriana . She said nothing as she stood up then suddenly disappeared In a flash of blue.

"With that the 27th meeting of sanguis is completed . "

People started teleporting out of the room and only 1 person remained .A black haired man with green emotionless eyes and a sharp face , he wore a full black suite and was holding a black cane .

"From now on everything is in your hands my liege ." He said to himself , he then teleported out of the room .

===================================

On a wheat field on a farm out in nowhere ,

"It seems that they have started moving ."said an old man dressed like monk with elongated ear's and a yellow robe .

"This will make our job much easier since we dont have to flush them out " A young black haired girl with purple eyes and a white dress replied as she ate a hard boiled egg.

"We can't both go or we would cause a disturbance so do you want to go to evernight or should I go ?" The old man asked.

"I'll go i haven't tasted demon's blood in centuries ."

" restrain yourself or I will have to tell him " The old man warned . The girl tensed in fear .

"sorry got excited "

"just be careful izalith "

"Ill bring you some souvenirs "

She floated and then dashed towards evernight . All that could be seen was a whites line crossing through the world .

The man watched as izalith went to evernight in reminiscing eyes .

"Times are changing izalith , after this we may never see each other again .....well I have lived long enough , I hope you can survive this era izalith " he said to himself. with that he also flew to the opposite direction .
