Not long after Haven and I had our breakup, and after Zebediah had been training me for awile, I decided it was time to tell my best friend Brently.
Brently looked quite a bit like me, and he was also an excellent martial artist. But unlike me he had an attitude that ensured he would be the best at all costs, he would win no matter what the contest or the odds.
I went to his house and nervously explained what had been going on, hoping he wasn't going to think i was crazy.
To my surprise he already knew. In fact he told me more than Zebediah did. He told me of a species of exceptional warriors. They were once humans but not anymore. Well all were once human except their king.
We went into a field and waited. Out of no where Brently screamed, "Come out you dumb bastard!"
At that a gust of wind formed and a man with long black hair and dressed in dark clothes flew in as if he was riding the winds like a greek god. He reminded me of the guy in the graveyard that beat me up. I was terrified, but Brently looked over confident.
I looked at the man as he landed. His eyes were black. Not just the pupil or the iris but the whole eye was black as the new moon.
Brently said confidently, "nice entrance."
The man said, "you two aren't near ready."
Finaly Brently attacked the man screaming, "We'll see about that!"
The man easily defeated Brently Then in an act of desperation I attacked. I faught valiantly but vainly. I foolishly continued after Brently got away. The man blocked or dodged every attack until finaly he grabbed me by the throat. and lifted me off the ground.
As I felt his hand crushing my larynx and felt my senses dull. I barely heard Brently's muffled voice say, "drop him asshole."
Then I felt a cool breeze move across my skin. For no reason that i could tell he dropped me. I saw him staring behind me, i turned around to see Brently, he was standing in the chun bi position. I saw everything spinning in wind gusts around him. He looked to be in a daze and the storm like lightning randomly striking around him. When I looked what we later named the Dark Warlord, was gone. The wind and lightning stopped and Brently fell over.
When I gathered my senses I ran to check on him. As soon as I went to my knees Zebediah drove up.We helped Brently up. I turned and looked at them, they both said at the same time,
"It's time to awaken, Darkwolf."
