refuses and later that day conducts a meeting with the senate to further discuss the situation .
The senate tell him that there is nothing that they can do anymore and they advise the king to stand
aside and pledge his loyalty to the king of the largest of the islands King Garsiax of Lermanda to
save the Island .
The King tells the senate that Garsiax is a tyrant that wants to conquer all the islands and bring
chaos for the sake of the King of Vorhx and that he is telling for years to join him or be destroyed ,
and only Nancia remained , and Sartharios is not willing to bow before him and he thinks that there
should be other ways to confront the King of Vorhx .
The senate then says that he leaves them no choice as they pull out knives grabbing Sartharios and
begin to stab him multiple times , as if they were holding a personal grudge against him , some of
them were , some they were just afraid and angry only Lord Valrogon wasn't present but soon the
guards found him and his family and murdered him . The senate then announced that the king had
failed this country and only Garsiax can save them , they say to bring dead or alive anyone who
stands against their will , desperate and afraid the townsfolk followed their orders and they began to
capture and slaughter anyone who wasnt willing to serve the senate , in the midst of this chaotic
situation Rillo a messenger of Sartharios runs to the Castle of House Valkerion and tells
commander Kenrow what happened , the commander orders his whole army to guard the castle at
all costs . The servants ran to the noble family memebers , Marriezran knew that he must act as a
figher and lord and ordered the servants to find and escort the rest of the family to safety , with
Marriezran and the Valkerion Guard protecting the gates the family tried to escape through the back
gates of the castle , but soon the castle was being sieged and Narcian guards began to burst through
the castle killing anyone they could find , Vibrianna and stayed to protect her children , Ilucidor
began to search through every room but he couldn't find his other siblings until he opened the door
only to found the dead body of his sister lying there shocked and pursued by the guards he ran with
all his strength outside to the castle's yard , he then saw his little brother hunged by some men ,
Ezran's body burning to a pyre and his mother gutted like a fish like his father . He was so shocked
that he couldnt move or think and suddenly a rider ran by grabbing him and running through the
back gates leaving the burning castle behind .
 Chapter 4 : A Damned Valkyrie

After being saved by a mysterious man the now fainted Ilucidor had escaped .
Later that night he woke up , he saw that he was in a forest and the man told him that they won't
find them there . Realizing it wasn't a dream he asks the man what happened .
The man says that the senate betrayed his father and the country and that his family have been
murdered and that only him was the only survivor , after getting his senses together he asks the man
who he is , the man says that his name is Gilbert , that he works as a bounty hunter witch slayer and
that he was sent here form the western lands to investigate the situation in orders of Ilucidor's father.
He says that now with him he must go to his nearest fortress .
Ilucidor asks him who is he working for , the man says that he works for an organization and that
he only was temporarily hired by his father to seek the truth ,
Ilucidor bursts into tears as he realize his hopeless situation and asks why didn't the gods help them
after all his family was forever loyal to them . Gilbert says that he if he doesnt want to end up like
the others he should stop crying and stand strong , Gilbert understands the boy , he has been in a
similar situation before losing everything and left hopeless to die alone praying to the gods , but he
found the will to live and he decided to stop praying , hold up a weapon and survive he tells the boy
to do the same . After travelling many months he tought the boy everything he knew on how to
survive , it was the first time in a long time that he ever trully cared for another person .
Ilucidor at first didn't even like the man but after seeing what he faced in his life was more
compassionate to the man , and ended up fully respecting him . Ilucidor wanted to know more about
the man behind the hunter and so he learned everything from Gilbert .
Gilbert didn't want to say much about his past and so he kept it in secret most of the times but he
taught the boy about his beliefs , He didn't want to take part in any war or cult he just wanted to live
seeing a new world in peace , he fights for what he thinks best surviving and helping an
organization to rebuild the world as a new safe place for every one to live in . Doesn't like to pray
but has no quarrels with priests either , he just hunts down and eliminates those that even though
gaining power for purely personal reasons surrounding by their pride and greed like most people ,
seeking the power of demons or gods , it didn't matter what they believed in . Gilbert liked to
always keep a low profile and fight only when it's needed because he believed that some men could
be reasoned with not blindly fight without even imagining the consequences of their actions , he
keeps his revolver and blade only for protection and extermination of the true evil , he doesn't go
well with wizards and sorcerers and he despised magic , seeing magic as an easy tool for corrupting
a man .
One day while travelling they stumbled upon a hooded man that asked fro help , he said that he had
travelled for many days through sea and that know he is being in pursuit for days , when the hooded
man revealed himself Ilucidor immediately recognised the man , he was his uncle : Balkor
Valkerion , he then remembered that he saw him on the castle , seeing that he had escaped he knew
he was helping the senate . When he confronted him the man couldn't believe his eyes he said that it
was impossible for him to be alive and that he should be dead . Ilucidor now furious about the
treachery of his uncle knowing that he helped some men kill his own family to protect himself
unseathed a blade that Gilbert gave him and sliced the man's throat , the cut was so deep that his
head almost came off . Gilbert said that know he must bury the man or else he would leave traces ,
Ilucidor refused to bring such honor to such a scum .
After a long travel they finally have arrived to their destination a place to start again.

Chapter 5 : The Birth of a Creed

After their long journey the two men had arrived before a giant black fortress surrounded by dark
clouds and a red sky
Gilbert told Ilucidor that they have arrived at Gallowmere a fortress of the Hell Knights
as the guards of the gates saw Gilbert and opened the gates Gilbert xplained that the Hell Knights
are the organization that he was working with to bring peace , the dogma of the Hell Knights to
bring peace through total order and to destroy chaos forever from this world caught Gilbert's
attention and soon became interested in their methods . Gilbert and Ilucidor talked to a commander
that was standing there , after Gilbert talked to him , the commander turned to Ilucidor and asked
him what is his name , Ilucidor answered , then the man told him that from this day he belongs to
the Hell Knight Order . The man then procceeded to interrogate Ilucidor telling him if he wants to
confess his sins , Ilucidor didn't speak and then the man told him that he either tell him or that there
are other ways to make him talk , Ilucidor the confessed his crime for killing his uncle , the man
smiled and said to him that he respected that he spoke the truth but he shall now pay for his sins
though Ilucidor was scared Gilbert told him that the process won't kill him the commander then
ordered four men to come to him , and then four crimson cloaked men arrived and the commander
told them to take Ilucidor to make him pay for his crimes , as they carried him to a dark room they
then chained him and stood around him in a circle as they began to spell out unknown words and a
dark aura surrounded the room and then Ilucidor felt his whole body burning like the the hottest fire
and being cold as ice , with a continious pain he begged the men with all his strength to stop , he felt
so much pain that his body fainted and he couldn't feel a thing and then the pain grew stronger , but
suddenly in the midst of the ritual one of the cloaked men started to spell out different words and a
shadowy figure appeared and a red light surrounded Ilucidor and then he felt like his whole body
have been melt down and his soul disappearing then the commander bursted through and stopped
the ritual he and the other three men confronted the man as the fourth man laughed and yelled
multiple times that it is done . The commander grabbed his head and crushed his head ending this
madness , and Ilucidor now fainted was escorted to a recovery room . He woke up after 3 days and
wanted to see Gilbert , Gilbert then arrived and told him that he have been cursed , the men here
didn't knew what the curse is and they need time to know for sure , Ilucidor suddenly felt a pain to
his heart as like was dying and heard a voice calling him a dark deep voice after he got his senses
back he told Gilbert everything .
Weeks have passed and no sign of the curse have appeared .
Ilucidor know all broken decided to start from the bottom and began to study the philosophy behind
the Hell Knights , he learned many things , and realized that he agreed with the dogma of the Hell
Knights he began to study about gods , demons and devils , and found shelter under the teachings of
Typhus the god of Order , he saw that Typhus differed from Erandul in many ways and decided to
know be loyal to Typhus and try to achieve the same goal with the Hell Knights and Typhus , to
bring order to the world .

Chapter 6: The Dusts of Justice

Ilucidor now better from the accident of the ritual followed the strict training of the Hell Knights
and he followed their instructions ,
He met one man , he arrived one morning , his name was Marco . He was a strange man , and
everyone felt uneasy with him all except Ilucidor who tried to understand him he began to know the
man better , Marco became close friends with Ilucidor , in fact Ilucidor was his first true friend and
so Ilucidor and Marco began to have a platonic relationship , with Marco fully respect and follow
Ilucidor after showing him his ideals of the new world he wants to build , beofre Marco didn't
believe in anything on this world he just lived without caring for nothing because of his tragic past
and ideology he gained his antisocial personality but Ilucidor cared for him and Marco became his
most loyal friend . Many have passed through Gallowmere , new recruits or people swearing
allegiance to Hell Knights Ilucidor met a lot of them and made alliances with many of them .

Some of them were just believing in him from the beginning but after studying the art of persuasion
and knowing what he learned from all these years manipulated some of them to join him , they
formed a party and Ilucidor said that soon they would be recognised as an Order , the Order of the
Eclipse , bringing the light through the shadows , he told them everything he believed about
justice , the justice that differs from the outside world , outside of this fortress , the one true justice
and he created a dogma based on that . His justice said that no ruler should leave his people alone or
fighting for him in fact the exact opossite of those two , his justice contained the new god that he
will be , accepting the power of divine powers directly from heavens and bring an end to this
unjustified relationship between man and god , and that the gods shall never abandon this world and
always care and protect their creations .
Ilucidor had suffered from severe anxiety , fear and negative emotions almost everyday , because
the voice talked to him in his dreams and showed him visions when finally he decided to not fear of
this power he decided to embrace it and demanded for the voice to show itself . Ilucidor had a
vision like no other he saw hell and all its nine layers but stood upon the 8th , Cania the Ice Hell he
saw a figure aproaching him and showing himself he saw a devil , but he was lnot a typical devil ,
he was charming with human like features and had a soft voice , Ilucidor not afraid anymore he was
ready to face this devil , but he decided to make peace with him and offered him to work together
because they are stuck in the same body anyways , for the first time even before he told his closest
allies he told the devil about his vision of the world about how he could make a better life for all of
them , he told him his entire life and after hearing that the devil decided to tell him his story too , he
was an angel of mephistopheles , he trusted him and fell down to earth with him and yet , even
when Hells were created even though he been there for a long time , Mephistopheles promised him
that he would grant him strength , and yet he is still waiting for his loyalty to be repaid . He
understood the human that was standing before him and he respected him , all though he said that
he won't give him any powers yet he decided to live in peace with him . So they started to
communicate through painful processes and this situation changed him so much that he after a
while he even was comfortable with the procedure .

Chapter 7 : The Legacy of Truth

In one of his missions , Ilucidor came across a battle , his first one , he told his comrades to hide as
he would confront the enemy .
He asked for their leader and a man with plate armor and divine symbols appeared in front of him
Ilucidor asked his name .
The man answered as Lord Zarton Osteryn , a survivor of the House of Ilucidor's mother
Ilucidor then told him that he was his niece , the man told that that he lies, and that the whole
Valkerion House has been destroyed many years ago , and besides that Zarton has seen once
Ilucidor when he was a boy and he didn't looked like him . Indeed he didn't look like that boy his
uncle knew , his black short hair are now white and long , his skin is now pale his eyes almost white
blue and he now has an almost corrupted appearance , Ilucidor now a ghost of his past tells the man
he truly is a Valkerion , the man shocked tells him that he know is no more but a hollow man with
no soul corrupted by hunger for power .
Ilucidor enraged for the first time said that a pitiful human like him could not understand such
divine ideology that was given to him and that he learned to accept his fate and truth and make a
new life out of all this . The man drew his sword and prayed to the god to show mercy on Ilucidor's
soul and he laughed seeing inside his uncle his past self , ordering his comrades to attack , with
Iluciodor delivering the final blow to his uncle with his own blade that threatened him before.
