• “Lepus… I want you to show me no mercy! Show me your power as your reaper identity! Show me all your power you have received!”

    “Lupus, you have no idea what power you are testing!” Navis told Lupus. “His aura current is infinite!” Lepus came at Lupus at packed speed, ready to charge him down. Lepus’ demon self leaped up on Lupus and slashed him with his claws. His claws were like a blade on inside an inferno. Lupus ricocheted backwards, feeling that his chest was ablaze, but it did not stop him.

    Lupus pulled a razor-sharp blade out of his scabbard. As soon as it was brought in the light, a powerful dark aura filled the air with its evil. Suddenly, a dark for was released once again, as thick as it was 5 years ago. “No…Not again! Lupus, will you stop? This power was not meant for mere mortals! You must cease this nonsense!” “Why would I do so? You have failed in giving me more power! This blade shall give you your punishment! This is the Chimera's Claw. This blade has the strength of a lion, the stamina of a ram, and the fatal speed of a snake. This blade will have your blood at the conclusion of the sun! Prepare to die!”

    Lupus came at Navis in the blink of an eye. “Do you see? This blade gives me unlimited power! It gives me speed. It gives me strength. It gives me everything I need to kill you!” “Weapons are nothing to the purity of the heart. That is why we chose your brother!” “Silence!” Lupus slashed Navis across his back. He yelled out in agony against the blade’s impurity. Lupus then turned toward Lepus, who suddenly disappeared. Lupus turned his head around to find him over Navis, curiously sniffing his body. He looked up at Lupus and growled ferociously.

    Right there, Lepus’ aura current exploded in power. He unleashed a large ball of aura in his right claw, capable of destroying a whole village. He intended toward Lupus, ready to strike, accelerating more rapidly than ever. Navis soon realized if he did not stop it soon, the boy’s father will be dejected. He wobbled up off the ground and started to run toward Lupus. Lupus had a petrified appearance on him, but when he saw Navis, he had a triumphant sneer on his face.


    Right when he was about to hit Lupus, Navis took the strike. A crackling sound exploded as soon as it hit Navis’ chest. From then on out, his right hand has had a blackened scar to remind him what evil he had done that day.

    Lepus’ demon spirit fainted away as soon it struck Navis’ torso. “Master…Navis... WHAT HAVE I DONE?” Lepus stood up again and started to object to his brother’s sudden change in his behavior. “Lupus, why? Why would you kill our master? He cared for us! He taught us! HE LOVED US!” Lepus cried. “I did it for power. You are too weak to understand. He assisted me to still be in this world, brother. Now, I must make my departure.” “I swear, Lupus, as soon as I find you, I will eliminate you!”

    Lupus struck Lepus across his face and sent him across the solid granite flooring of the dojo. “You have no detestation in your soul. You never contain it. You are feeble! You deserve to be with that old fool Navis!” “Oh, no! I have to save him!” There, Lupus was a fugitive, never to be seen for a whole 5 years.

    “Master Navis…I’m so sorry… please forgive me for what I’ve done…” Lepus sobbed. “Don’t worry…Lepus… this isn’t your fault. Go…ask your father about everything…he will tell you about about the reaper within…Fare… farewell…” Navis gasped.

    Those were his final words. “NOOO! MASTER! I swear Lupus; I will find you and kill you! I shall take vengeance for Navis and our mother! And for you, master, I will be a dragoon, as you requested...” Lepus stood over his lifeless body, grieving over his teacher’s death.

    Lepus’ father was Vela, in reality was younger brother of Navis. “Hello, Lepus! How was your… my son? What ails you? Why have you come to me mourning in my abode? And where is your brother?” Vela questioned. “Father… father…the truth is… I…I...” Lepus stuttered. “Well?” Lepus told everything about Lupus, the reaper’s power, and Navis’ death.

    “I can’t accept as the truth…my own child…my own blood…” Vela sobbed. “Father… Please…tell me what this…this reaper is.” Lepus asked. The truth is a reaper is an inter- dimensional being from the Reaper Dimension. They have brought evil before to Coronan, but the last war has caused them to write a treaty with the emperor.

    The most hostile emperor was Temujin, the reaper that came when the dark fog hit Lepus’ village. In order to extinguish him from this earth, they had to seal him in a child with a pure heart. At that time, only two children were in the village. Moreover, Lepus was the one with Temujin sealed within him. Never was Lepus told about the evil reaper with the ability to obliterate Corona, and quite possibly, the whole Earth. Lupus did not know about as well.

    However, on his 13th birthday, Lupus was reading the archives to see the strongest combatant in Corona, finding out the truth of Temujin. This infuriated Lupus more than any other time before. He demanded to know the truth from Navis and Vela. They told him his brother had more purity in his heart. Ever since that day, he went to the evil smith Serpens in secret for knowledge in the dark customs.

    “Father, prior to Master Navis’s death, he desired me to grow to be a dragoon. Please, send me to the trainer’s fort at the Columban Palace. I want to fulfill Navis’ dying wish.” “Very well, son. If this is your desire, I will consent to it.” “Thank you, Father. I shall bring nobility once again to the family clan, if this is the final thing I do until I achieve my grave!”

    Ever since then, for 5 years, Lepus trained his soul, body, heart and psyche vigorously for the vengeance against his older brother Lupus. He has made many friends since that day, and little did he know, they will him help him restore the land of Corona back to serenity.
