The Chosen Defender
The emperor khan sent a expedition team of special emissary, elite soldiers and a coven of shamans(witch) in search of a special tree, according to the legend it is the the birth place of every life, itself. After twenty eight months of search the expedition team found a region peculiar and similar to the legends. Hearing upon the news, the emperor khan sent his most trusted warrior and the commander of his war band to join the expedition team. The commander is called "Borokhula" He is originated from family of warriors called Kheshig, who were bred only for war. He is well known among mongols as a man of his word and his life is bound by loyalty and honor. He faught and won countless wars for his khan. He is the most skilled & brutal warrior in the history of mongolian empire. As per the order of the khan he was equipped and set to venture the harsh weather in his stalwart companion mori(horse).
In a far away northern land, There is a humongous snowy Mongolian mountain called "Mount Belukha". with presence of sprinkling silver snow, that spreads all around, the trees are dancing with the blow of sizzling air, which sprinkles crusts of snow. The chirping of the Red & White-winged Crossbills were echoing in every peaks of mount belukha. The crossbills are rare species that are only seen in snowy harsh weathers of mount belukha. The warrior Borokhula descends atop from mount belukha's Katunskiy Ridge, covered in grizzly's fur, trailing down hill by riding his big footed pale white horse. Piercing through the thick white mist, he came down by following the single snow covered trail road. After a few hours down the hill, the trail led him to a village called "Ongii". Which is filled only with snow yurts. and the village is surrounded by huge group of white birch trees.
It looked like the red birch trees are arranged in circle surrounding the village like borders. The place looked like a "white Desert". Wherever we turn we can find only snow and more trees and the yurts placed in the shadows of the birches. Borokhula approached the village in his horse, finds the village with no people around as it was still early in the morning with sun not fully risen(dawned). He looks exhausted from the long journey in the harsh weather. His horse grunts and breathes snow. He climbed down from his horse then tied the horse near to a water pot in the stables along with some other of them. As it starts to fill its thirst by sipping the water with haste, he gently rubbed his fingers along the head of his horse and said,
"yeah Good girl, paramour, drink"
Paramour winks eyes and neighs happily, feeling the care of his warm and gentle touch.
Then he left paramour to quench her thirst and roams inside the village in search of the village head.
After a quick walk he came across a huge tent which he assumed it was the head and called for them. A tall and huge man comes out of the huge tent and asked,
"Who are you?".
After hearing the name of the nations greatest warrior he is thrilled and bowed before Borokhula, then respectfully he said that his team has found the tree they have been searching for a millennium. He suggest to Borokhula that they ride after breakfast And asks his servants to prepare for the journey to the location of the discovery.
After having their breakfast Borokhula begins his journey along side the head of the village. A few hours if ride they finally made it to the site where they witnessed a huge frozen water fall. and Borokhula is amazed to see a huge shadow of a tree inside the frozen water fall. Men were working to carve & melt the thick ice. The more they dig the more the shadow got clearer. But the wait, made the head impatient, so the leader summoned his coven of witches who are said to be centuries old & they covers their body with white straps to hide the wrinkles. they began to chant in old tongue and the ice was caught & spread with blue flames. the thick glacier starts to melt faster.
As the last layer of the thick ice breaks, it revealed a huge black tree engraved with ancient markings in its bark. The is no leaves left in it as the plain dark branches stretches across the cave inside the waterfall and its deep roots glows red and the red roots connecting the ground like veins. They all witnessed it but it looks nothing like the legend they heard of. It's completely different and more gothic. In order to get a closer look the commander 'Borokhula' boldly stepped forward to inspect the tree and the witches accompanied him. As they entered the cave the witches started to translate the ancient engravings on the tree. Meanwhile the commander found a blue particle glowing in the farthest corner of the tree, as he bends down with his one knee on the ground, he slowly touched the blue spot. And the witches who read the ancient engravings, trembled with fear and whispered in despair "Damnation". Abruptly the blue spot electrified and exploded against the commander and he was thrown away from the cave. With the explosion The tree cracks within and opens like a door. The witches shouted "it is the tree of damnation". Before they could finish their sentences black smoke like particles descended from the tree and absorbed their souls. It gains strength by eating souls, then enslaves and take controls of their soulless bodies. Instantly all the living souls were snached by the dark smokes including the head of the clan and his coven of witches. In the next few seconds all of the dead were woken up with dark flames in their eyes and start to walk in a parade towards the village.
After a while the commander who is thrown away by the explosion, gasped and gains consciousness. He breaths heavily and his eyes were blurry, also he felt heavy on his chest. So he reached his hands to his chest to find his heart and veins around it were glowing in blue. With confusion, he slowly stood up and witnessed the dead bodies of the leader and his clan members were parading in a distance. Suddenly the black cloud found the commander and approched closer to suck his soul, in an instance his eyes were glowing blue, his hands were conjured with blue flames, then he blast the dark smoke using the blue flame emitted from his hands, and the dark smoke vanished into thin air. He was shocked with his is own abilities. And suddenly his eyes burned with bright white flames and he gets these different memories played in his head that are not his. that's when he came to realize as the memories of the past defenders plays inside his head.
He is the 'Chosen Defender', who is destined to find the "World tree of light" It is the only weapon that can destroy the tree of damnation. The world is under the verge of the dark ages and the defender is the last hope.
