Imperial Retribution

Prologue: Xenon

 In a Kingdom called Vormyr there were 4 young prodigies who lived on opposite sides of the kingdom. In the city of Cyras lived a clan of the worlds best assassins, The son of the clans head master name was Xenon. Xenon has been trained in the art of stealthe and various assassination techniques. Xenons father is the best assassin of his time but he wants his son to be just like him, Xenon on the other hand doesn't have any interest in being the clans head master because he wants to go out in the world and become his own man and not be remembered for what his father was. Xenon vowed to follow his own future when he became of age and that is what he will do. 

    Xenon is known as his fathers progedy but he wants to be more than just that. One day Xenon was in the middle of sword training, Xenon has mastered the art of the 3 swords, when Xenon was younger he was tasked to pick 3 weapons he would use in his arsenel but he couldnt but he was indecisive so when he gave it a little bit of thought he told his father that he wanted to master 3 various swords, The Great Sword, and Dual Kitanas who are polar opposites of eachothers. He gave his swords a names because it was only normal since he forged them on his own all with magical properties, He named his Great Sword Elysia, and 2 Kitana the Murasame and the Uramasa Mastering these swords plus the intense training he went through up until this point has earned Xenon the title of the "Unseen Shadow" because he has never been captured or seen by anyone and has always Eliminated his targets which is a very high achievement of his clan. While Xenon is training he is interrupted by his fathers assistant Carl.

   "Sir..your father requests your audience in his quarters." Carl says. 

"What does he want? Did he say? " Xenon asks as he sheathes his Uramasa.

"No he just asked me to tell you to meet him at his quarters that is all." Carl walks up to xenon with a towel.

  "Thanks..Alright ill head there now." Xenon wipes the sweat off his face and disappears in a cloud of smoke and appears in his fathers quarters. Xenon seen that the room was completely dark and very quiet as if no one was there besides himself.
  "Dad?.." Xenon looks around, but he had a strong feeling that someone was lurking inside of the room so he puts his hand on the handle of his Uramasa looking around. Xenon then turns his back and gets ready to head out the door but in that instant he senses an omnious presense in the room.

  His father appears out of the darkness and charges right for xenon and in an instant xenon blocks his fathers sword with his uramasa blade. Xenon then pushes his father back, "Ok What the hell Dad do we have to do this now?." Xenon grips his sword tighter. 

 "But of course i have to make sure you in tip top shape." His father says as he dashes at Xenon and attacks him with a flurry of attacks that cant be seen by the human eye, but Xenon can see his fathers every movement, he was trained by the best, Xenon blocks every attack his father throws at him and his father follows up with a soaring kick to the midsection sending xenon flying through several walls. His father follows after him and they end up in the clans main courtyard as Xenon recovers he charges toward his father and prepares to strike as his father is about to parry his attack he summons his second blade Murasame in his left hand and swings it forward. His father jumps backward before he is struck by his sons blade.

  "Very Impressive, your skill improves by the day." His father says.

"hmph." Xenon smirks and charges at his father once more and they both clash blade, they are attacking so fast their clan members cant see whats going on, Xenon then pushes his father back and quickly runs up to his father and flip kicks him in the chin sending him crashing into a tree. Xenons father recovers quickly and snaps his fingers creating a orange magic cirlce, "Hell Flame." His father fires a massive fireball toward Xenon apon impact it creates an explosion, once the smoke clears Xenon has disappeared His father begins to look around because he knew that wouldnt be enough to take down Xenon. Xenon begins to chuckle his father looks up and sees Xenon sitting ontop of the roof. Xenon snaps his fingers creating a similar magic circle to his father. "Flame style: Purgatory Hell Blaze." Xenon creates a Flame Beast and it fires a massive and destructive Blast of Blue hell Fire from its mouth the attack explodes on impact and creates a big cloud of smoke. Everyone around them is shocked because Xenon mastered that spell when he was younger and it is more powerful then it was then and it seemed more potent then it used to be. His father is seen laughing and as the smoke clears his father comes out unscathed as he blocked the attack with his sword. 

  " Well done my son, you have again surpassed you limits." His father says as he sheathes his sword and walks to the middle of the courtyard. Xenon also jumps down from the roof and meets his father in the middle.

"Thanks Dad." Xenons says as both his swords disappear.

"You will soon be able to follow in my footsteps and replace me as the headmaster of the clan." His father places a hand on Xenons shoulder but Xenon seems displeased with the words of his father.

 "No you've got the wrong idea dad, Im old enough to follow my own path..idk where that path will take me but first i will start by Joining the imperial army and making a name for my self. I dont want to be known as just my "fathers prodegy." thats not what i want to be, I will take your teachings and make them my own and pave the way for my self." Xenon says with strong conviction.

  "Well who am i to argue with that, you are a grown man and your open to follow your own path but never forget where you come from and remember your mother will always watch over you." His father says as he puts a crescent moon necklace that belonged to his deceased mother around his neck. Xenon holds it in his hand. 

  "I will make both of you proud." Xenon says. 

" You always make me proud, the moment you were born ive always been proud with everything you accomplished, I wish you the best." His father embraces him for the last time.

Xenon then turns around and heads to the clans main entrance, As the wind is blowing everyone gathers around Xenons father and sees him off Xenon looks back and makes one last glance at everyone and waves them goodbye and then turns and disappears along with the wind as a bunch of leaves blow by behind him. Xenon then reappears ontop a peaked building that was the tallest in the entire Capital city of Vormyr. Xenon takes in a deep breathe and exhales.

  "Imperial Army Here I Come!"
