Guile of the Chosen

Interlude

Time...this form of guidance that we, as human beings have used since the sun dial was invented. What would happen when time ceased to exist? Would you be able to continue your day not knowing the time of the day? Or perhaps what time you need to be somewhere like a meeting. What most don't think about, is that this God we call time, has impacted our lives more then you could ever imagine. Time is like a river or stream that flows in one direction, forward. Going up stream only pushes you further backwards till your in an endless loop and you get nowhere. Society says that time in itself can't be reversed so time travel is impossible. Now i'm not saying anything is impossible, its just difficult. Think about this...you traveled back in time to one of your childhood troubles, where you were being picked on or a memory that impacted you to who you are today. What if you changed that situation to go more in your favor? Would things change in the present? Think of your actions as stones being dropped in this river of time; you do something as small as choose a different flavor in ice cream cause at that time you made a wrong order in what you wanted. You just dropped a pebble into your river flow; it makes little ripples but changes the current pattern in the flow. Now because of that action you have a consequence, you tempered with this God's power.

Judgement has happened. Maybe cause of your original pick you kinda knew that something would be wrong; the sixth sense you have. Food poison kicks in and you get very ill, and this illness causes a change to where you may miss that important meeting to further your business and then your business gets a shot in its now crippled hand. Zap! Your now back to your present time and now your career is gone and all you have left is a apartment, your spouse leaves you for being unreliable, and you have a job that can just barely make your monthly rent. As you can see a small action can lead to a even bigger consequence yet it took some time for it happen. Now if you were to change something that was a bigger issue like you actually severely injured that bully from your high school, the consequence would happen a lot faster. That was your rock just thrown in your river.

So is time real? I see it as more as an illusion. Order on the other hand would turn to chaos; everyone would be at a loss and since there is no scheduled time to be somewhere or time to make an appointment. This world needs this illusion to keep order though time, is a man made God.

Chaos has started.

The Calshirian War

Ten years have past since the the Calshirian race waged war against the Shinii Kingdom. This relentless battle lasted five years filled with sorrow and darkness. The Calsirians are ruthless race with no souls of there own; once a peaceful human, now brings death to anyone who tries to get in there orders from their newly crowned king. Their blades are infused with a dark energy that once the flesh of a victim has been pierced, the soul of the fallen with be stripped from their body and feeds this endless hunger of these beasts.

During the battle of Mt. Jhall, a fearless warrior by the name of Rahz lead the Shinii to a short lived victory. He lead an assault that weakened the rear assault against the peak. As he continued to hold off the enemy forces, he realized an error in his assumption of the Calsirian numbers. They soon overwhelmed the warrior's militia and this evil race took of Mt. Jhall, the only place left holding them off from the Bashir fields. All hope was lost for the Shinii...they will soon feel the mighty force of the King of Shadows. From plants, to animals, to even the Shinii, nothing will remain in a living state with his rule amongst the Calshirians.

Mt. Jhall was last defense the kingdom had and with it under Calshirian control all seemed lost. Just then a powerful spellcaster used every ounce of his energy to create a barrier across the ridge and prevented the progression of the enemy fleet. He then retreated to the Sacred Forest, a place of legend speaks of to be the home of past heros who have died trying to protect the Shinii Kingdom. None with a heart of evil can enter this mystic place. The closer you get to the Sacred Forest you will start to hear the cries of the ancient echoing through the trees.

The war came to a halt for the time being, but the Calshirians kept on trying to get through to the other side of the barrier. The legend of the chosen will soon come to be...the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of a folk lore.

Chapter 1: The Coming of Age

"The world will be covered with a thick cloud of Darkness...for he, the one known as king will reign supreme"

I remember very little of my childhood. The fields of Bashir, a slight breeze moves its way through the grass. Sky as blue as the wide open sea. That single tree on a small hill that many generations of my family has taken care of.
