Chapter 24 - Chapter 20 The forging of the five Rings of Light and the creation of the eight Rings of Darkness

The story that I am going to tell you happened one thousand years after The God Wars before The Era of the Dra'ghoul Bloodline.

but for those who have seen it and lived through it know well what this world will endure if Zargorwarth is not stopped. The world of Tylingariea was covered in shadow as an evil wizard known by the people of Tylingariea as The Demon Lord. The Demon Lord ruled over Tylingariea with an iron fist spreading fear and chaos throughout the world with his Army of Demons he caused pain and suffering in all of the realms of Tylingariea.

One night a stranger in a grey hood on a horse rode up to a small town called Deltar. He approached the gate an armed the guard asked the man in a gruff voice " what is your business here stranger?" the stranger replied, " I am but a humble old man wandering the world and I came to your town seeking shelter and food."

The guard motioned to the Gate Opener to open the large metal gate that leads into the town of Deltar. the Stanger lead his horse though Deltar he noticed that no one was walking down the streets and all of the shops were closed. The Stanger looked at his pocket watch which read seven o clock. " this is odd why is the whole town deserted at such an early hour?" he reached a nearby inn and noticed that the door was locked. He knocked on the door and said, " hello is anyone there?" a door opened a male voice said, " were closed go away!" the Stranger replied to the man " I can seeking a room. I have credits to pay for the room." The man unlocked the door and said: " hurry, get in before the Watchers see you."

The Stranger rushed in as two black flying shadows drifted by. " hello Stranger, my name is Brink and welcome to my inn and Ring Forgery. So, what is your name?" Brink said as he got a key for a room to give to the man. the Stranger took his hood off and said, " my name is James Jale-gar I am the last of the El'taree Princes of the Palingar." James was a tall man with a medium build that had fair skinned. His ears were pointed and he had light brown hair and colbot blue eyes.

James had a long sword attached to his waist that was made of a inky black metal and engraved on the blade were mystic runes that Brink recanized as being from Other-Heaven scripture.

Brink was speechless he had heard legends of the El'tar but had never acutely seen one. " Brink, I have come to you with a mission the dark evil that is called the Demon Lord will create eight Rings of Darkness and when he does he will intend to spread his evil across the whole universe. I need your help to stop him." James Jale-gar said to Brink who replied " How can I help?"

James was glad that Brink would help and replied " I need you to create five Rings of Light so that I can wear them to destroy the Demon Lord."

Brink was unsure how to forge objects of such emise power so he asked James Jale-gar " how can I make this Rings of Light I do not know Mano-Teki?" James Jale-gar put one hand on Brinks' shoulder and said: " I will aide you, but we must hurry in the Forging of the Five Rings of Light."

As they were forging the Rings Brink asked James "why not just make six then it would be an even number."

James replied, " because when all five of the Rings of Light are combined then the user will be transformed into The Warrior of Light an embodiment of light and has of the powers of the Five Rings as well as the untapped power of the cosmos."

As James and Brink were Forging the five Rings of Light deep in the depths of the dark unknown a huge shadowy figure sat on a large throne made out of human bones he looked at a globe that was swirling with a dark mist that showed James and Brink forging the five Rings of Light.

" so, they know about my plan to create the eight Rings of Darkness." The Demon Lord stood up and laughed as he said " they think that making those weak magic rings of Light will help them from my plan for total Multi-universal control!"

the Demon Lord lifted his hands and cried out " noting can stop me not even those Rings of Light for I have created of pure Darkness eight rings that I have formed from my own wrath, hated and darkness that is inside my soul!"

The Demon Lord then plunged his hands into a vat of molten Xentra Gold, the screams of the damned souls that swam though the melted Souls howled in pain and agony as there Mano-Teki morphed and twisted around the hands of the Dark Lord, Blood red lighting shoot from the cauldron and the earth beneath began to shake and crack from the power of the Eight Rings of Darkness.

As the Dark Lord slowly lifted his hand from the ancient cauldron the Xentra gold poured off his hand like a waterfall. the Demon Lords shadowy figure changed to an actual body. This new body that the Demon Lord had had large muscles, he grew to ten feet tall as he grew a seven-foot long tail and a two nine-foot long pair of demon wings, his fingers turned into claws and he sprouted two long curved horns on the top of his head.

Black bolts of Shadow lightining emitted from his body. The Dark Lord stood still his massive muscle twitching with Mano-Teki aftershock. " the power. I can feel it corsing though out me" The Dark Lord said as he opened his eyes slowly

Brink and James had just finished the last Ring of Light. " I hope that you are able to kill him." Brick said" even if I do that does not mean that he will be gone forever," James said Just as he was about to put it on when a huge claw came through the wall and right into Brink's chest

"No!" James cried out in anger as Brink fell to the floor gasping for breath James knelt down beside him and said with tears in his eyes" Brink don't go!" Brink grasped James' arm and said weakly" it is my time."He coughed up blood and said " go and kill the Demon Lord I know that you can do it. I will be with my family cheering you on." Brinks' breath slowed down and until the last of his lifeforce had left his body.

James led Brinks head on the floor and with the memory of Brinks' death in his mind and the weight of the entire Multiverse on his shoulders James slipped on the last Ring of Light. As he did, he was transformed into a being of pure light.

James drew his Lonsheng Longsword that enveloped itself in a golden light as he spoke to the Demon Lord and said: " let's take this battle were no one else can get hurt."

The the Demon Lord led James to a vast empty wasteland were a monolithic Spire of Crimsion Stone stood at the foot of Mount Zalgar

"now this ends Demon Lord!" James Jale-gar said darkly as lightning flashed across the sky.

A thunderous boom erupted as James blade collided with Demon Lords arm that started bleeding black blood as The Demon Lord smiled a dark and evil smile as he said " yes it does end here. It will be your end and it will be a slow and painful one not like your friend" as he pulled out a sword made of pure Shadows.

The earth shook as the swords clashed against one eniter and lighting lit up the sky after several minutes of clashing swords the Demon Lord was on the edge mountain.

The Demon Lord was at his limit and dropped his sword over the cliff James then lunged at him slicing both of his hands off as well as his wings.

The Demon Lord cried out " now my power is gone, my rings are gone! How is this possible you can't defeat me?!"

James thrust his sword into the Demon Lords heart and then pushed him off the mountain killing him instantly.

James Jale-gar looked at the Rings of Darkness and said "I most hide these so that they can never be found again. I know I will create mutable kingdoms so that they can house all of the rings good and evil" After the Demon Lord was destroyed James created the Western, Southern, and Eastern Kingdoms he also founded many of the Northern, Far Northern, Far Western, Far Southern, and Far Eastern Kingdoms. He then became the first King of Deltariea the Kingdom of the First Ring Crafter.

As Cailly finished her tale the Six were on the edge of their seats and they were speechless. After several minutes of silence, Adam asked Cailly " if there are only five Rings of Light then would I be the one to become the Warrior of Light?"

Cailly replied, " it did not say that in the story, but each Ring has its own unique ability and powers." She looked at the Six and said: " when you put on the Rings of Light your body will go through a transformation giving you complete control of your Rings powers." She paused and Adam asked her " how do I get my powers?"

Cailly replied, " when all five of the Rings of Light are retrieved you all must go to the Kingdom of Light there the five that hold Rings of Light will give their power to you to unlock your true power."

Jason stood up and said, " when we give our power to Adam do, we still keep our transformations?" Cailly replied, " yes you will only give Adam a portion of your power you will still keep all of your ability's and Transformation plus anything else that you have earned on your journey."

The Six stood up trying to absorb this after a minute "How do we get to The Hades Horn isn't that where the Ring of Fire is?" Victor asked Cailly Jason then walked up to her and asked Victor " yes how are we going to find this Hades' Horn when we don't even know where to go."

Cailly walked over to a Dragon Statue and pulled down his horns and then the wall slide down and an upward winding staircase appeared Cailly said " it is not we, only Victor can go on this quest to get the Ring of Fire. For the ancient elders cast a spell on each area that holds the Rings of Light that only the ones who may wield the power of the Rings of Light may pass through all who are not will have them and their family be cursed will have eternal suffering."

The Six all agreed that they would have Victor go alone because the curse seemed very septic if anyone that was not the one who wields the power of that Ring of Light will have them and their family cursed with eternal suffering and nobody wanted that.

" I will do it for its part of my destiny to go and get the Ring of Fire." Victor said as he started to walk up the long and winding staircase he turned back and said: " be sure to train while I am on my journey to the Hades Horn." The Six nodded and Victor walked towards the Gateway of the Horn so that he could retrieve the first Ring of Light the Ring of Fire.

Meanwhile in the Nowhere

" There is a part of the story only i know of" Xeno'vent'taris spoke to himself as he remembered back to that time so long ago when he was The Demon Lord then defeated by James Jale-gar the ancestor of Erik Dra'ghoul. It was at the point that he created the Rings a seed of Unspeakable Evil was placed within him and once the Demon Lord was destroyed The Seed of Unspeakable Evil lay in The Nowhere growing into the being known as Xeno'vent'taris who would come to the mortal realm in the Age of Erik Dra'ghoul as the boy Ezra Riddle a Vi'ha'ree then destroyed by Erick Dra'ghoul.

Xeno'vent'taris returned in the Age of Draco Dra'ghoul as the boy Lupine Riddle but was again destroyed by a Dra'ghoul. Xeno'vent'taris remained inside Lupines body as the shell until he is to return. " It is written as it always is and always will he that the Dra'ghoul Bloodline and Xeno'vent'taris are locked in a eternal combat of Light and Darkness one woven of Death and rebirth" Xeno'vent'taris said gravely as he returned to his mediation
