Chaos Legion

Having the malicious spirit of Azrail put to rest, the Order of Saint Overia breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Evil has fallen in exchange for the loss of a once loyal man, Victor Delacroix. But the savior of this legendary tale has mysteriously disappeared. The Knight of the Dark Glyphs, Sieg Wahrheit, accompanied by a surviving member of the Maiden of the Silver, traces of both were mysteriously erased in the Order's records. The two haven't been seen since.

With hard labor and rebuilding at hand, the Order and it's scouts had no time to search for the missing knight. A new successor to Sieg Wahrheit must be chosen immediately, a new Knight of the Dark Glyphs..

Chapter I :

Order

The sound of footsteps filled a long, dark corridor with murals depicting fallen angels on the wall. Angels with faces of deep despair and eternal sadness pasted across their face, tears falling from their eyes as they plunged down from the heavens, their once magnificent wings burning off from the tremendous force of the descent down to the fiery pits of the inferno.

His dark blue eyes could see them. Their blue fiery presence floating freely without any restrictions, hovering about with no care in the world. Even at a young age he had visions of seeing these lost souls wandering the world with no sense of direction. These souls are blinded by jealousy and hatred against those who still live. Envious of the living, they refuse to go to the Celestial or Netherworld and live on the Earth's surface for eternity unless..

Large black doors opened up in-front of him, a strange insignia embedded on the thick black surface. He remained calm and closed his eyes and took a deep breath before stepping into the large room in-front of him. Once he stepped foot into the room, the atmosphere in his surrounding presence changed. He heard nothing more than the sound of deep silence, the lost souls no longer present in his sight.

He walked towards the center of the room, taking notice to the nine figures in-front of him hidden behind the darkness, only their arms leaning on top of the half-moon shaped table were visible. Keeping his cool, he stood still and waited until one of the figures spoke to him.

"Welcome to the Hall of Order," the center most figure spoke to him, "Reiks Agriwulf." he finished.

These people hidden behind the shadow of darkness are responsible for running the Order of St. Overia and the sealing of the forbidden spirit, Azrail. They have control over the Sacred Capital of Rotarl and the other neighboring cities that were badly damaged during the incident with Lord Delacroix not too long ago. The one sitting in the center is obviously the head leader of the Order.

"Ah, what a fine looking man of exquisite physique." a female voice to the farther right of the table stated, "You seem perfect for this job." the voice laughed with a tone of sophistication.

Two of the only women admitted into the Order. The one that had commented Reiks is the most talkative and flirtatious out of the two. The other possess a more stoic nature, completely opposite from the other.

Finally, he spoke.

"I am here for the sole purpose of serving and protecting the Order." he bowed before them, "May I ask, what are the Order's desires?" he asked.

Reiks was dubbed the Knight of the Dark Glyphs a few days ago by the Order themselves. He received the blessing of the sword and needed one more important thing to complete the ceremony. His legion crest.

The figure sitting in the center of the table stood up from his seat and lifted his right hand in the air, snapping his fingers as two silver knights carrying large spears, walked over to the center where Reiks was standing, "Your duties are now set. You will forever be known as a Knight of the Dark Glyphs. The protector of the Order. A legionator." the center figure spoke loudly.

Soon, the remaining eight figures stood up and watched as the two silver knights held a large silver case, opening the silver top revealing a strange looking artifact. Reiks shifted his eyes towards the silver item before he grasped it in his right hand.

"The Order of St. Overia bestows you with the power of Hypnos, a legion of immeasurable power that can only be rivaled by it's brother crest, Thanatos."

Reiks took a few moments to gaze at the crest with much awe. He could feel the dark power surging from within. He felt the crest's impatience and most of all, it's massive hunger. He turned his sight towards the Order and placed the crest over his heart, letting it resonate in unison with his heartbeat.

"As a legionator, you will feel no regret or sorrow towards the souls of the dead. They must be sacrificed in-order for the power inside that crest to grow even more stronger." the center figure paused worriedly, taking a few seconds before he spoke again, "Although I must warn you. Unlike it's tamed brother Thanatos, Hypnos has not been properly tamed yet." he cautioned the new Legionator, "You are the only one who we think can control Hypnos properly, just as Sieg Wahrheit controlled his crest, Thanatos."

Sieg Wahrheit. He had heard that name all around even before he joined the Order. A gifted and talented young man, he was one of the three that were ranked highest amongst all of the warriors in the Order, only second to Victor Delacroix. After the incident a few months ago, it seems he disappeared without a trace.

"Ah, this brings us to the matter at hand." the center figure spoke yet again, "This will be your first assigned mission and we hope you are successful."

Reiks took the crest off his chest and placed it into a dark blue gauntlet on his left hand. He felt the dark energy surging through-out his body, feeling as if the soul of the incarnated Hypnos merged with him to become one.

"Sweetheart," the flirtatious woman interrupted, "Your new job is to find Sieg Wahrheit and bring all the crests he took with him, along with the infamous Thanatos back here into Sacred Capital grounds."

"Understood." Reiks responded, taking a final bow before turning his back, facing the door.

Just before Reiks leaves the room, the center figure spoke in a dark and serious tone, "Do not fail us."
