The King's Blade

Long ago when the Earth was still young, twin siblings were born; both gifted uniquely in separate ways. The woman, Atla, in science of the mind and the man, Prom, in science of the body, but both were gifted in the arts that preserved the Earth. From these two ambitious beings came forth the legendary city of Atlantis and what once was prosperous now withered island of Prometheus. Before the doings of what did happen came to be there was a mighty wise and humbly powerful king that felt a type of sympathy toward the lower race, the cursed race.  His wish was for both his offspring to live in harmony not only with each other but also with all of God's creations, even the fallen.

To ensure that only the will of God could be carried out in the event of a war, the king forged a unique sword that would enhance one's abilities and complement one's faults, a sword that would shape and morph according to the wielder's passion and essence; a sword that could both start and end revolutions in one decisive swing. To some it was called the King's Blade because he often boasted of its power, but to those that have grasped its hilt and tasted its edge it was known as the Hand of God. It was truly a sight to see sheathed patiently or gloriously emanating its valor to both friend and foe.

When Atla wed, her husband was to be next in line for the throne, until Prom choose his bride which meant he would take the throne. Atla's husband would not stand for Prom's values which mirrored their father's, only Prom viewed the lower race as equals to their own. Atla's husband warned Prom that if he took the throne with his love for the degenerates, he would be more than a torn in his side. Ignoring his brother-in-law's threat and heeding his father's words, he assumes his place as king of land. Within hours Atla's husband is able to pull together an army to usrp Prom. To much confusion, the King's Blade would not allow itself to be unsheathed, and so Prom had to step down. After much conflict the King's Blade is lost and the new king begins a genocide of the lower race.

In an effort to stop the madness Atla finally speaks up and takes Prom's side in the matter. The Mad King strikes Atla down and she is lost at sea. In rage Prom conjures a power hidden in his blood and since then the blood line of the Promethean's would grant them immense power when in the presence of an Atlantean. This is not enough to sway the Mad King. Prom is banished from Atlantis to waste away on a forsaken island. Years go by as Atlantis slowly dies without the aura of a kind and just heart. Hidden within all the corruption a savoir was born and somehow the King's Blade ended up in his hands. He led a group of assassins into the castle and smote The Mad King with the King's Blade augmented to Jsohan the Assassin's essence.

Jsohan led the kingdom of Atlantis out of the hells of poverty and disease and into a prosperous era. Meanwhile Prom forged a people from the land and he crafted a country from the forsaken land: Prometheus. Though Prom had seen the changes in Atlantean government, there was one person who saw the new Atlantis just a great a threat as its forerunner. Secrtly, this man learned their ways and befriended Jsohan- who taught him the secrets and shadows of an assasin. This man learned the magic of the Atlanteans and soon became known as the Full Blood Wizard, having a perfected knowledge of both Prometheus and Atlantis.

The wizard soon murdered Jsohan and took his body for his own. Those that knew him could see that Jsohan was not the same, and Prom could sense that Jsohan had been adulterated. It was not long after he started calling himself the Wizard King. Once again the King's Blade had proven to be mysterious in its nature. Centuries came and went. The line of Prom continued on. And then the Wizard King took the kingdom of Prometheus. In all this turmoil the King's Blade was nowhere to be found. It appeared as though prayers had been unanswered or rejected. Questions about the future of the two kingdoms were raised, but only time could answer them.
