This is my first story, a story which was inspired by my dreams, my life's experiences, my imagination, many books i have read and last but not least Antarian_Knight's Story titled "The Last Dragons" and "The Knights of Juno". Please check out his page here http://antarian-knight.sofurry.com/ ^.=.^

Please provide Critique if you have any as this will improve and make me a better writer in the long run. And don't be shy to give any ideas and suggestions because 9/10 chance that it would make it into my story (with reference of course).

So finally after all this boring text above, let's begin the actual story shall we?

~The Five Warriors of Legend~

Prologue | - [The Dance of Death] - |

The night was quiet, crowds of people from all corners of the land gathered to the centre of Ishiistia to watch the dance performance. The dancers were in the centre of the stage, each of them spinning in uniform, their long hair waved around as they spun. The dresses they wore glistened as the golden moon shone brightly in the skies above. It was a quiet night, or so I thought. A woman from the crowd looked up and pointed towards the sky screaming, everyone stopped and looked up in shock and fear as the sky was lit up with flames. Fireballs hurtled towards the city, one of them landed right on the stage causing a massive explosion that knocked me, as well as many others down to the hard stone ground, The sound of the explosion ringing in my ears.

I shook my head and stood up, looking around to see everything engulfed in flames. Demons of all sorts materialised from the fire, all them went around and started killing everyone. No one was spared. I looked to my left to see a little kid screaming as he was being grabbed by the neck and thrown into the flames, I looked to my right to see a man and a woman being beaten up and slashed to bits, then I look towards the front and saw a demon looking directly at me, laughing as it held an axe and walked slowly towards me. I spun around and ran for my life with the demon chasing me close behind.

I jumped over a small burning cart, my pursuer smashing right through it, I jumped from the top of the stairs and rolled as I landed, the demon simply jumped down after me, landing perfectly on two feet. I ran past a pile of dead bodies and sighted a blood stained sword, I picked it up and spun around throwing it towards the demon, it simply jumped out of the way, running across the walls then jumped landing straight in front of me. The demon laughed as he swung its axe at me, I ducked and while the demon was in mid swing I picked up a stone and smashed it on its face, the demon cried out in a loud piercing scream of pain then staggered backwards holding onto its face as blood tricked from the open wound. I poked my tongue out at the demon then saw several others come up just behind. If I didn't do something now I would be surrounded and would surely be dead.

I spun around and ran again, this time towards the forest that lay just beyond the city. I breathed in hard, feeling the smoke filled air run down my throat and into my lungs, causing me to cough and splutter, the demons closing in on me. Eventually I reached the Forest, the demons ran in after me but were immediately incinerated as magic radiated from the centre of the forest. I stopped running and looked back towards the city, seeing it slowly burn down, my home, my family, my friends and my whole life disappearing in a cloud of smoke. I shed a tear and turned my back towards the city and walked on. For many hours I walked till I was so tired, so distraught and so depressed that I fell to the ground and the world faded away.
