Description

The art of Dragon Slaying is a secret skill few have mastered. The first was a noble Knight who before slaying a terrible dragon of fire was offered the chance to learn the secrets of the Dragon's power. Using this knowledge the Knight harnessed the element of Fire and befriended the Dragon. After becoming close friends the Dragon decided to protect the village the Knight was from while he ventured fourth.

Traveling the lands, the Knight went on to slay Dragons all over the realm who dared to attack any innocent soul. Slowly the Knight started to change, his blood boiled hot and his skin slowly started to harden into scales under his heavy plated armor. The Knight remembered that the Fire Dragon warned him that slaying too many Dragons would indeed cause the Knight to take on more aspects of a Dragon until he himself became one.

It was apparent that the Knight was going to change into a dragon if he didn't seek out help as fast as he could. A single month later the man found a fabled Witch who was rumored to be a former Dragon herself. Begging for help the Knight offered to protect the woman until the pair passed to the next life for her aid. The Witch agreed and gave the man a potion, quelling his boiling blood to keep him from changing into a Dragon himself. Still his body did change, he found he could indeed boost his already impressive physical skills for a short time daily among other fantastic powers.

Just a few weeks after consuming the potion the Knight met the Witches daughter, falling madly in love with her. After a year of living with the Witch and her daughter the Knight found out the Witches daughter was also a Dragon Slayer, being taught by the Dragon of Earth. Unable to hide their love the two were married and gave birth to Mashyuu's great, great Grandfather and thus created a powerful blood line destined to create a Dragon Slayer of legend.

Rubble and compacted earth shifted in the destroyed forest on the outskirts of Fiore. The ground rumbled as a crater nearly seven foot deep opened up, soil fell deep into the ground as a living corpse rose up out of the ground. His jacket ripped to shreds, golden ring snapped in half and hammer shattered and laying deeper than he could even sense, Mashyuu blinked his blue eyes and snarled, coughing up dirt and metal that had built up in his lungs from months of being seemingly dead. Slowly, as if learning to walk for the first time, the once powerful Wizard climbed out of the crater he had made when he fell from the sky after his Dragon pet was killed mid battle. His mouth opened up and his jaw cracked and popped, causing water to well up in his eyes as tears streaked down his face.

His last memory was his wife dying just before he was knocked out of the sky and buried in the ground that had always given him power. "Where am I?" He asked as his bare feet stepped up on the edge of the crater. In front of him was a small pond with dirty water. As he looked at himself in the reflection he could see the new scars on his body, dirt and dried blood where the gashes were. How was he alive when everything around him was dead?

Hours turned to a day when Mashyuu arrived in a town, no real memories to call on he looked at Beanstalk Village with confusion in his eyes, why was he drawn here of all places? The former Slayer walked towards the village and past his old home, stopping to take in the air, catching his own scent. Slowly he turned and entered his home. Empty, just like he had left it years ago. Silently he stalked around his house until he found the bathroom and turned on a family made shower his father, an Iron Dragon Slayer, had created before he was killed. Not that Mashyuu could remember. He washed his body in the hot water and dressed in a pair of red sneakers, blue jeans and a red tee shirt, a long hooded coat covered his body, hiding his appearance in the shadows of his clothes.

As he stepped out of his room he felt something walk to the front door of his house, his hands clenched up into fists and his eyes lit up. He stood behind the door and watched as the handle started to shake and the door opened up slowly. A man with a golden blade entered, the blade lit up and shined a light on Mashyuu, alerting the swordsman to Mashyuu's presence in the dark. The man, shocked at seeing someone in the abandoned home pulled his blade back and swung it forward to try and send a shock wave from the blade. Mashyuu didn't think, his body just reacted. His left arm shot out towards the stone wall of his home, the brick wrapped around his body and absorbed the blast while forming armor. "Earth God's explosive armor." A dark voice echoed out of his throat as a second blast hit his chest, causing the armor to explode and launch spikes of earth from his shattered armor, impaling the man with the blade and sending him flying out of the house, dead on impact. "Pathetic effort." Mashyuu's dark voice remarked as he walked past the dead body, still his heart went out for the dead man's family.

After walking through a bit of farmland in Beanstalk Village, Mashyuu pulled a few husks of corn off some stalks and started to much on them happily. Fed and ready to go, Mashyuu wandered out of the village, aimlessly walking, unknowingly headed back to his home, the Ace of Spades. About half way there, a week and a half into his travel Mashyuu found himself standing at the base of some mountains, four men in black hooded capes stood in front of him, each holding a dagger with a strange symbol Mashyuu recognized as a threat. One man stepped forward under the high noon sun and spoke. "Our master thought you were dead. But it seems you have survived and have the god he wanted living inside you. The only way to free that god is to kill you and give it control." Mashyuu pulled his hood back and dropped his jacket to the ground, his hair no longer perfect and messy, but wild and untamed. "You are welcome to come and try to take it. But I won't need more than a few spells to take you all down. Your lives will be in my hands though." Mashyuu dropped into what he knew was a familiar stance as his weight set in and his body flexed hard. The men all charged Mashyuu, one grabbing his waist and pulling his blade back, unable to even manage to push the Wizard. As the man's arm came back Mashyuu reached out and grasped the man's blade holding arm, only to pull back and snap the man's arm at the elbow, breaking the arm and causing the man to fall to his knees in pain. Mashyuu spun on his heel, darting to the left and lazily lifting his right index finger. "Earth God's all consuming earth quake." His voice echoed out as a massive wave of earth shattered and split, swallowing up two of the men and sealing them underground with no effort at all. With three of the men down Mashyuu stopped and looked at the leader of the group. He tossed his dagger to the ground and pulled his hood back to reveal a bald head with a mask on his face that resembled a skull.

"Your power is untamed and wild, let me help you harness that. Together we can destroy my master and rule Fiore with an iron fist." The man reasoned. "Sorry, I don't want to rule anything. I just want to remember who I am." Mashyuu retorted. The man brought his arms up and wind kicked up around the wizard while the God like Wizard let his head tilt to the side in a curious manner. "Death's embrace." The man whispered and pushed his hands out. The air turned red, lancing towards the Earth God Slayer. Mashyuu tapped his foot on the ground once as the ground came up around him, encasing him in soft clay. A moment later five more of the same clay molds sprang out of the ground flanking Mashyuu on either side. "Earth God's transition." As the red air smashed into where Mashyuu was, his body was sucked underground and shot up into a different clay double. All at once the clay molds moved, zig zagging between one another but never leaving the ground. The skull mask covered wizard took a half step back and started to cast another spell before Mashyuu's body erupted out of a single clay mold and grabbed the man by the throat. He spun around on his feet and tossed the man as hard as he could through the air. "Earth God's Meteor Crush!" Mashyuu called out while slamming both his fist into the ground. Before him the ground changed to a black tint and exploded from the ground, a massive ball of earth launching up and soaring straight for the man who was flying through the air. The ball hit the Wizard and exploded, sending the Death Wizard to the ground in a motionless husk on the hard ground at the base of the mountains. Mashyuu returned to his jacket, slung it over his shoulders and pulled the hood back up, leaving the mountains and going on his way... As the sun set he looked on at the floating castle that made up Sabertooth, a place he was drawn to, where he would start again, and regain his memories....
