Meet the Heroes
Dracon (Warmonger)
(Market Town)
In a bar, the sounds of cheering and music could be heard! Wonderful sounds that were once heard everywhere during the truce, but now they were rare! The doors leading to the establishment, revealing a white-haired warmonger in gold armor as she walks to the bartender and takes a seat. Slowly though, everyone started to notice her and for who she worked for, but they didn't know that she was a deserter! "Do you have anything that can make me forget, oh I don't know… the Order of Horkos?" The Warmonger asked before taking off her helmet, surprising the bartender, but he still complied as brought out his strongest drink! "Ooh, maybe not that strong!" Hearing this, he presented a drink weaker. "Maybe a bit stronger?" This time, the tender brought out a drink that wasn't too strong or too weak! "Yeah, that's about right." She claimed before grabbing the third bottle and started chugging it!
(Kazan castle, One Season ago, one week after the fall of the Truce)
There was fire and chaos everywhere, death and misery came to everyone who lived there! That day, there were three warriors of Horkos, leading the charge! A Centurion and two Warmongers:Sabaktes and a warmonger that was cladded in gold armor! "Keep moving, don't give them an inch!" Sabaktes commanded as her troops continued to lead the ram to the inner gate! "Sabaktes, what shall I do?" "Take out their Guardian Dracon!" Sabaktes told her as she nodded and ran for the shrine, after-all, that's where the Guardian goes during a raid on their stationed areas!
As Dracon arrived, she saw the shrine Guardian, praying to it before standing up to turn to the warmonger! "Horkos o kusara seta mono o mitekudasai! Anata to anata no sensō wa ie, kazoku, mujitsu no seikatsu o hakai shimashita!" The Guardian shouted at the knight in anger as he drew his sword before finishing! "Anata no hanzai no tame ni, anata wa shiharaudeshou!" He said before pulling out a mask resembled an oni's face!
He puts on the mask and becomes enveloped by a blood-red aura when suddenly, he grows a second pair of arms! "What the…?" Dracon said, confused as she said the Guardian turned into something unnatural! "Now. You face… power of the Oni!" He said in a demonic voice which caught the Warmonger off guard! She snapped out of it the moment she saw a blade coming for her! She parried just time before slamming her pommel into the Guardians stomach, staggering him! Dracon then tried to stab his throat with her claws, but he grabbed her arm and threw her into a wall! She barely escaped a downward slash by weaving to the side while grabbing one of his arms before stabbing the elbow! "Ah, you pay for that!" He said, holding his now limp arm with his third arm! They clash again, but this time she uses her speed to outpace him, she manages to get a few cuts in before she disables another arm by cutting it off! It looked as if Dracon was going to win until the guardian threw down a smoke bomb, blinding her! Before she knew it, she was tripped up by a leg sweep! Before she could grab her greatsword, it was kicked to the other side of the room before her left arm was stepped on, stopping any escape attempts! "You pay for sins, murderer!" He says before bringing his sword down on her, but in that moment something bizarre happened! Her hands started glowing as vines and roots started growing on the guardian, causing him great pain! Eventually, the Guardian died, turned into a tree!
When the Warmonger saw her handiwork, she checked herself to see if she was alright! Fortunately, she was physically fine, but she saw her hands were shaking and her heart was racing! Then she realized that this was the first time in her life that she was afraid! As she left, she began to notice the sounds of terror from everywhere, actually listening to the cries and pleads for mercy! As Apollyon once said, "Warriors rarely see the people their wars affect! The displaced, the murdered, the starving!" Here she was seeing the start of that as she walked, unknowingly, away from the battlefield! After a few moments, she saw a Horkos Officer with two foot soldiers standing above a distort family, who were grieving over the father of the family! "By the Order of Horkos, your sentence is death!" The Officer said, raising his sword as the children cowered and the now widow tried desperately to shield the kids! Suddenly, Dracon rushed in and killed the Officer in cold-blood! "STOP!" She shouted at the two before they could attack her! "Ge-general Dracon-!" "What do you think you're doing!?" The Warmonger demanded, believing there was no reason to murder an innocent family! "Astrea's orders, we were executing any warrior who resisted!" "Yes! Any WARRIOR who resisted! Not civilians! Understood?!" "YES MA'AM!" They shouted and saluted by instinct! She then told them to leave and return to the battlefield! They complied, but not before giving each other a suspicious look!
After they left, Dracon turned to the fallen man and kneeled. "He must have been a brave fighter, Huh?" She asked the family. "H-he was never much of one." The mother told her as she sniffled. This news surprised the knight! "If he wasn't one, then why did he fight back?" "Because he always believed that you should fight for what's right, no… no matter what!" She barely was able to say before breaking down in tears! Dracon muttered the exact words and started to think something was wrong! She grabbed the dead husband's weapon and placed it on his person before putting his hand on it before bowing her head in respect! She then got up and started to walk away before hearing the words:"Thank you"!
She was beginning to question the Order's true motives! She thought they were here to bring meaning back into the people of Heathmoor's life not slaughter the weak and innocent! She arrived at the battlefield to see the battle was over with the Commander dead! She was then approached by Sabaktes! "Dracon, explain yourself!" "I got lost after a near death experience!" The Warmonger general said as her commanding officer brought up a point! "Then why did two soldiers report back to me, saying you killed one of our Officers while protecting a group who resisted us?" "The Officer was crazy, he would have murdered a mother and her children next!" Dracon told her in a threatening tone before telling her to reign in her troops better or else with her hands glowing orange red! "All right." Sabaktes said with an ominous tone while Dracon turned around and walked away! It was then that the Warmonger drew her sword, as if compelled to do so by something supernatural! She ran at her and with a swing of her blade, she attempted to murder her general!
(Present day)
As the music livened, Hyperious walked in the bar with a Lawbringer, looking for someone! He looked around while walking deeper in until he saw a gold helmet on the bar table! He walked up to it and recognized who it belonged to! "Do you know the person who wore this?" The Warden asked the bartender as he pointed to Dracon, who was playing the flute with three others, playing a lute, a harp, and a horn! He thanked him before walking up to the band! "Are any of you Dracon? White hair, carries a Greatsword?" He asked, making Dracon stop playing and look at him, drunken! "Wh-what can I do for you?" She asked before letting out a loud belch, causing Hyperious to groan in annoyance before asking a question. "Are you Dracon, General of the order of Horkos?" "Sorry, she-hehehe… she stepped out for some rum!" She said with a laugh! "You can drop the act, I know it's you!" He told her, holding up her helmet which causes her joyous appearance to sadden! "You should dispose of that horrid reminder!" She said miserably before walking to the desk. "They say you could move like a Peacekeeper, but hit like a Lawbringer! The Alliance could use talent like that!" "To what, slaughter the weak and helpless?!" She replied with venom in her voice! He denies her remark and tells her they're goal is to re-establish peace in Heathmoor, but they need to get rid of Horkos to do so! "It won't work, nothing works." Dracon told the Warden with despair written all over her face, but Hyperious knew what she meant! "You failed to save someone and only had enough strength for self preservation!" The Warmonger was surprised to hear this! She hadn't said a thing about how she defected! "I know this because I experienced it myself!" He explained as Dracon decided to have him elaborate further! "Like you, my thoughts were once clouded with blame and I tried to drink the memories away!" Hyperious started to tell her as she remembers her past!
(Kazan Castle, past)
"You blame yourself for events under your control!" He narrated as Dracon slices Sabaktes in half diagonally! As her commanding officer's top-half falls to the ground, Dracon had begun to realize that the Order was all-but a bunch of psychopaths! She was snapped out of her thoughts when numerous soldiers saw Sabaktes's corpse and ordered Dracon to drop her weapon! Of course, still high on adrenaline, she attacked them!
"And events completely out of it!" Hyperious said while the, now blood-stained, Dracon was in shock, viewing the corpses of the family she saved earlier around a burning street! She then fell to her knees, losing all feeling in them! Suddenly, she started to breathe heavily before screaming at the top of her lungs!
(Market Place)
"You must regain who you are, so you may be able to prevent what happened before, from happening to anyone else!" Hyperious finished, letting her sink it all in! "I… understand, Warden." She told him as she saw a glass was in front of her. She picked it up only for it to be knocked out of her hand by the Warden! "BY YOU DON'T!" He barked as the glass broke on the floor! He took a moment to calm himself before continuing! "The future is unwritten. Before our goal is complete, before we can live the life we all want, you must stay on the path you've chosen! You must stay true to yourself, for if you don't, I fear there will be a much darker future awaiting us all!" Dracon's eyes sprung open, realizing what he meant when two Horkos soldiers walked in! "Dracon, by the Order of Horkos, you are under arrest!" One of them said while drawing their swords! Everyone started panicking, except for the Warden and Lawbringer, when the Warmonger stood up with a composed look! "You'll have to take me alive, monsters!" She told them before drawing her sword and charged at them! She blocked a strike and grabbed the second sword with her hand before stabbing him with her Greatsword! As the first guy swung his blade, Dracon parried the incoming attack with the parry-guards on her sword! She then grabbed the soldier while the other was bleeding to death and hurled him out of the bar!
Track playing:The only thing they fear is you from Doom Eternal (Indy Guest Ver.(0:39-1:45))
From the outside, a group of soldiers saw the man suddenly be thrown out as the Warmonger walked out with a grin that said, 'I'm having fun'! "Charge!" An Officer yelled as they all let out a war cry and charged! "Oh yeah!" She shouted, running at them as well with her sword put away! She soaked the first one, killing him on impact before uppercutting another one! She then used one as a step stool to jump on another soldier's head, crushing it before using his body as a flail, swinging him into two more soldiers,killing them! She jump-kicked a soldier's head off before slamming the neck of another! Dracon then took his sword and jammed it into the chest of another soldier before repeatedly punching another's helmet to pieces! Dracon then pierced an Officer's throat with her claws! She slashed a few more before pulling out eight knives and threw them at another Officer, cutting to ribbons! Grabbing a soldier's sword and her own, the Warmonger sliced two in half before decapitating the last Officer! Suddenly, a Shaman tried to ponce on her, but she stabbed the freak in the stomach with both swords and spit her down-the-middle! As she finally caught her breath, she realized her blood was pumping with endorphins, her heart was racing, and she suddenly remembered the one reason for joining the Order! The combat, the thrill of danger and a good fight!
"Now do you believe locating her was a good idea, Heric?" Hyperious asked his friend as they watched what unfolded! "Uh, yeah, yeah sure." Heric said without paying attention as he saw her laughing, surrounded by bodies!
(Storr Stronghold, snowy day (five days later))
An injured Jourmengandour let out a battle cry before being punched and uppercutted by a white-armored Warmonger! "By the way, you might have noticed, despite your numerous titles, we never called you by any of them!" She told him while pinning the Viking to a wall with two thick vines on his arms! "That's because to us, you're not special! You were special to the Viking Horkos soldiers stationed here, now they're all dead! Guess it was me who you should have impressed!" She told him before plunging her hand into the guys chest, ripping out his corrupted Draconite-infested heart before crushing it, killing him permanently! "Thor Damn it, I love the Alliance!"
She then walked up to two knights and Ayu, who was holding a stage two Draconite Scythe! "Now do you believe I'm your side, now?" Dracon asked smugly as Grace walked up to her with an extended arm, offering a handshake which Dracon accepted! "Welcome, officially, to the Dragon Alliance!" She said!
The battle for Valkenheim was fought and won and soon they will head for the Forge to reclaim it soon enough!

Notes:Here's the next hero and boy, is she bloodthirsty! I also gave her the Metamorphosis Execution as a way of making her a person who was born with powers like that! She is, but, one of the examples of someone realizing what the Order really is! Where Apollyon just wanted to remind everyone of their roots, Astrea is a nutcase who twisted her ideals for own desires! Also, is it weird that you can use the Corruption feats on the Horkos enemies?
