This is a little story that i'm making to keep myself busy.


Prologue:
Purgatory, a place where heaven and hell intertwine… a place where the dead can reside until they choose which path to take. In to the fiery core where there are the souls of many fallen ones; there is one person whose soul is actually alive...

Chapter 1: Purgatory

“It’s been an eternity since I last saw the light or darkness of day and night… I remember when I was the leader of the fire planet Infernia’s army until….there was a war. A war over supreme elemental sources… known as Oracles…I was at first a personal bodyguard of Infernia’s Oracle named Ai, then with all my hard work and skills I was made a ranking so high, it’s of its own category I was called the “Immortal Flame” and the leader of my own special unit in the army known as the Sacred Order of Infernia. The war started when the planet of darkness Ozura attacked Infernia and attempted to take Ai away from us, but the Sacred Order and I managed to stop the attack…but at the cost of my live… and that’s how I ended up here…. In Purgatory… trapped in this prison between heaven and hell… forever…” Said the warrior covered with a cloak that concealed his entire body and all that was noticeable was his crimson colored eyes.

Suddenly a cracking sound happens to echo throughout the entire place and a shadowy figure appears. “And you are?” the warrior said in a somewhat calm and collected tone as he got up. “Are you Kiro The Immortal Flame Kiyazaki?” Asked the shady figure. “Depends on who wants to know…” Kiro said as he readied his katana which was by his side. “Tell you what… Let’s have a little fight… if you lose, I get your soul.” The shadow figure said. “And if I win?” Kiro asked getting interested since it’s been a while since he last had a fight. “I shall free you from this place and let you carry on with the life you’ve miss so much of.” The figure said as his body took form of a tall tan skinned man well built with long silver hair and battle scars all over his body and ancient markings and symbols around his chest and back. “Now I’m fighting you without a doubt.” Kiro said as he drew his katana and it gleamed from the light of the flames from the territory. “Glad to hear... oh that’s right, how rude of me… not giving you my name… If you must call me by a name let it be Rizen.” Rizen said as he was ready to fight as well.

“Very well then, let’s go!!!” Kiro said as he dashed forward and started the fight with graceful swings of his katana, Rizen just stood there at first and then dodged the swings with equal grace as his body started to glow a unique shade of green. As the fight carried on the souls of the departed were screaming a tormented tune that wanted to see a blood bath of a fight happen. Kiro’s swings got more and more intense with every passing second and changed the attack pattern so it wasn’t predictable and slashed in a vertical motion causing what looked like a decent strike on Rizen, but Rizen parried the strike with a neon-green blade. “What kind of blade is that?” Kiro asked curious yet on guard. “This is a Soul Blade… After all I’m a Soul User!!” Rizen said as he dashed in and started slashing like crazy yet with skill and elegance, Kiro also started slashing in the same formation as before and as the two blades collided every time it creates a barrier of wind and then it suddenly stopped when the two blades intertwined in a tug-of-war like situation.

“So, what they say is true about you” Rizen said as they kept pulling the blades back and forward. “Oh, and that is?” Kiro said smirking. “You are skilled.” Rizen said as he broke the tug and appears behind Kiro and performs a deadly X slash and impales his blade. “heh, but you’re nothing compared to me.” Rizen said as he pulled his blade out and sheathed it as Kiro’s body fell to the ground but vanished. “What!?” Rizen said confused as he looked around for Kiro but to no avail. Kiro popped out nowhere and started to slash like crazy. “Million Slash Combo!!” He said as he did a million slashes and ends it with an X slash. Rizen stumbles back and fall onto one knee. “Damn you kid… well a promise is a promise.” He said as he opened up a portal. Kiro left through the portal. “Go forth warrior of the flames… This is your story.” Rizen said before he vanishes.
