THEN
After years of learning magic, honing his skills and fine tuning every little aspect of his life, Mashyuu the Earth Wizard joined Sabertooth a legal guild that held the ability to help him find his mothers killers. Only a few weeks after joining Sabertooth, Mashyuu was handed a letter stating his childhood friends were in trouble and needed his help. Upon arriving at the address stated in the letter he learned both his best friend and his first love had been changed into terrible zombies. Mashyuu returned home to let their families know when the village was attacked by demonic plants. During the battle Mashyuu was nearly killed but saved by a small stone elemental named Rocky. Since then the pair had gone on a series of adventures, growing stronger and stronger...
NOW
Brown steel toed boots padded and crunched against rough sand and stone. The dirt that slipped under Mashyuu's feet kicked back and settled again just before hitting Rocky, who was just a few feet behind the Earth Slayer. His blue eyes stung from the dry air in the early morning sky but for one reason or another it just wasn't hot enough to make Mashyuu sweat. His dead mother's one sleeved jacket rested firmly on his strong body and as he came to a stop Rocky patted up up next to him. Smiling meekly Mashyuu looked down at Rocky then back up, before them was a large mountain top and at it's peak was a massive tower. Even with his Dragon Slayer eyes Mashyuu couldn't see anyone atop the mountain. But he was down wind and his nose picked up to many scents to pin down on any one person.
Mashyuu hadn't been to the Sabertooth guild hall in months, after a job with a beautiful young woman he was given an invitation from a dark Wizard to come to a tower in the desert if he wanted to face his family's killers. The journey took much longer than Mashyuu thought it would. But it seemed that at last he had arrived. He clapped his black and red leather covered palms together and grabbed a piece of stone on the side of the mountain. "Alright Rocky, you wait here and I'll be back when I take care of things up top." He ordered the dog sized Earth Elemental. The small animal whimpered and trotted in a small circle then stopped to lay down.
"Are you sure that is such a good idea Mashyuu. With the book of secret arts I have taught you new spells. Don't weaken yourself climbing the mountain by hand. Find a safer way up." The spirit in his Dragon's ring called out to him. The Earth Slayer released the stone he was about to climb in response and snapped his fingers while walking past Rocky's left side. "Come on boy, let's find a stair case or something to walk up. I wouldn't want to leave you here. Just in case something happens while I'm gone."
