The Gods had fled.
The darkness swallowed the sky.
The last hours of mankind had started.
What is humans without Gods?
That is the question people had.
"Did the God fled?" That's the question asked for the first time in history.
"That cannot be true" People denied the assumptions.
But they find out immediately.
In the horizon, a tall wall of darkness stands. The night is rising, the moon is bright, the darkness became red.
The blood of knights who approached the darkness paid for it's ignorance.
It's not a shadow, nor a wall, it's the demons standing tall not fearing anyone.
Priest kneels, they prayed to the Gods "Oh mighty God! Please have mercy on us!" but no answer.
The priests who are able to draw the powers bestowed to them by the Gods felt the absence of the holy.
The age of chaos began.
Word travel fast. That God's had fled. They abandoned the world for this world is no use to them.
Everyone lost hope. But someone is standing tall in this thick darkness, the last proxy of Gods, the first proxy of the light.
The Knight of Light, Kein.
Humans, when threatened they seek shelter. Once the word is out that the light did not lost it's power, people flocked towards the holy kingdom of Adelia.
"The Gods has not forsaken us!" This word spread like a wildfire, this leads to overpopulation of the kingdom, they had to make the refugees tent outside the walls.
But to those people it's better than waiting to die in their village. At least here in this wall, in this kingdom, the last knight, the last proxy of Gods stand.
In the chamber of the king, Griedvon. The 14 king of the kingdom of adelia sits. King Valerius Thalambrosian Adelia IV.
"I welcome thee knight who stands in front of the darkness itself. I, Valerius Thalambrosian Adelia IV, will bestow thee the authority to give orders to the knight of the kingdom" his Majesty King Valerius announced.
People are silent, including Kein. He knows the weight of the authority and power he acquired. The burden of humanity is among his shoulders.
People murmurs, "If only the 10 swords of the continent survive" or "If the mages noticed the sign much earlier" echoed the room silently.
Those words are nothing but a silent denials, handing authority of the kingdom to the people under the direct order of the church is such a mess.
The balance of political and religious power in the kingdom had been equal, until Kein shows up.
He who was pronounced the "First Proxy of the Goddess of Light" becomes the hill that the political power needs to climb.
But they cannot do anything about it. For he bears the Goddess will's.
The demons has marched towards the last stronghold of humanity. Among the demons are the 4 wings of the Demon Lord.
Demon Lords came from the demonic realm, they were categories as some nobles of hell. The current demon lord, Akzakh the Terrible, is one of the marquis in the demonic realm.
Naturally the Gods can fight back, but for some reason the Gods did not answer any calls from their servants. They stay silent, unlike the previous wars against demons, this time, only one proxy remains.
In the barrack of the kingdom of adelia, near the southern gate. Kein in his office kneels towards the window and bow his head.
"Goddess... Did the Gods really fled?" Kein asked the Goddess, but she stayed silent.
"Don't think about that and focus and storing my powers into you. Such matter do not take priority in this scenario." The Goddess firmly evaded the question with a warning to not ask her again.
"Oh Goddess, could I really defeat them?" Kein asked, "..." The Goddess stays silent.
For the moment the room is filled with silence. The swords clashing outside can be heard in his office, the people instructing one another, the busy people around him walks around working everything they can.
"Can I save them?" Kein firmly asked, his voice trembles, he knows the weight he is in, and his responsibility and duty to do so.
"I can't tell for sure. But are you regretting your decisions now?" The Goddess asked.
Kein was nothing but a commoner, someone who he himself doesn't know who his parents is. He who saw the murder of those he loved, and his suffering in the way to the top.
For once he thought, "Nothing could be more bad than this" but he then realize the weight of the authority and the title he bear.
"If I had not do those, I will not be here. I do not regret anything" he answered the Goddess firmly and finally made up his mind.
"I will stay every demon that will approach this walls." He declared to himself and to the Goddess.
The Goddess stayed silent.
On the next day, the 4th day of the month of the sea dragon. The southern barack of the city of Gregalia, the capital of Adelia Kingdom.
In the office of Kein, the current commander of the knights and the commander of the cavalry and clerics from the church.
A knock from the door. Kein let the man in, he is one of the soldier of the southern barrack, Sergeant Khevon.
"Your excellency, the demon had started their march towards this way" Khevon reported to Kein.
"Ugh... Don't call me some fancy names. Tell me the details" Kein replied.
"The scout had noticed the demons started their march and is moving. The messenger from the scout had fled the scene, unfortunately the other scouts did not make it. Currently they are in the Felg hill. They are moving as we speak." Khevon provided the detailed report but was it enough.
"Call the clerics and the kingdoms swordmasters" Kein ordered.
In the cliff of Felg. The ground is painted red a d violet. The blood of both humans and demons mixed. The 4 great demons of the abyss had stood atop the hill.
The Knight of Light, had fallen.
The last light of humanity vanished.
