Among the mysterious, and unkown

-The Faithful Encounter-

"Awwwooooooooo~" A howl is heard thoughout the full mooned night of a small village in Japan, a man wearing blood red samurai garments with a katana at his side, he quietly walked down the street. A woman was running down holding a small child in her arms as a wolf man like creature was chasing her, as he continued to run as fast as she could child in arms, the world jumped at her barley missing but clawing through her clothes leaving 4 long claw marks across her back, as the man stood at the end of the ally seeing the girl and the wolf-man, he drew his sword and held it firmly above him. The girl feeling the blood from the wound sliding down her back, as the wolf-man continued pursuit, The samurai brought the sword down to the ground fast, a strange shockwave was approaching both the women and the wolf, the ground flying to the sides as it went though, as it reached the women she quickly stepped to the right as the strange shockwave went though her left arm and left foot, it went directly down the middle of the wolf-man.

"AHHH!" The women screamed as her arm and foot seem to fly off as blood spewed from the now decaptiad body parts as she fell to the ground safely holding the child out in front of her, trying to crawl to the end of the alley. The wolf-man still somewhat standing seemed to fall in half, nearly perfectly, as both sides fall, the ground seemed to be soaked with its blood. The Samurai then quietly sheethed his sword and began walking to the women, who was half-way down the alley. As the man reached her she looked up, blood was begning to come out of her mouth, she was begning to look pale and her eyes seemed to have a dead look in them as well as tears from the pain, as she held up the child to the man, she could only say 2 words, "Alexander... Demon...chaser..." as she spoke them with the last remaining life she had, her hand and face fell, dead. The man quietly looked over the women then at the child, as he picked it up he moved a blanket from it's face showing a sleeping child, with white hair.

As the man examined the sleeping child he spoke quietly, "Alexander Demonchaser.... that is your name, and what you shall be known hence forth." in a very deep Japanese accent. He slowly picked the child up and throws a match onto the girls body, then does the same for the Wolf-man's body. as he slowly walks away from the rising flames, he looks at the child who had began opening his eyes. the childs cool and calm blue eyes seemed to stare into the mans shadowed face. As the child smiled at the man, he continued walking, the child looking at the flames reaching his hands out to it. As they turned the courner the man sighed and looked into the stars as if searching for someone. He then walked off, his features hidden in the shadows. After a couple hours they arrived in front of a temple looking home in the middle of a montain area, as the man holding the child walked into it he silently opened the door and laid the child on a pillow, the man then began to remove his clothing revealing his face, it was rather rough edged, his eyes emotionless, balding, or fully bald, a incredible tattoo that wraps around his entire back, the tattoo of a Dragon, Multiple scars ran across his face and body, he seemed incredibly fit. The man looked at the child "I am Yin Ryuki-Hei, I shall train you, I shall protect, Nothing more, Nothing less." Yin said with a cold stare.

Multiple years pass, the boy grows, at the age of 4 he begins his training under Yin, when he reaches 11 Yin begins teaching him his sacred techniques, Techniques only they would know. when Alexander finally hit the age of 13, Alex began to explore. He found a cave behind the Yin's home, and decided to explore.

-The Cave-

As Alex began to walk into the cave he turned a flash light on to be able to see. He started to step very carefully around the blood colored stones which he found odd, as he continued down the cave, he felt it harder to breathe, light headedness, he came to a edge no way down. Alex quickly looked for a way to continue, losing conciousness from the lack of Oxygen. Then he heard a voice "It's ok... Come Down.... I've been waiting for you..." he quickly paniced reaching at his waist for his sword, which he couldn't find, 'Damn it! I must've forgot it in my room.. Yin will scould me for that...' He thought, as he felt himself lose concious and fall off the edge, as his unconcious body began to fall, memories began to flash though his mind, Stormy weather, a man with white spiked hair, wielding a sword in one hand and what seemed to be black fire in the other, his eyes, a deep blood red, with a unique smoke coming off of them, small black horns were coming out his forehead, the man was wearing a white dress shirt, with rolled up sleeves blood stained and torn up, white shorts that were also bloodied and torn, The sword seemed to radiate its own energy, a dark presence, a pure white sword that seemed to scream in hate. what looked like hundreds dead were around the man.

Alex opened his eyes quickly sitting up, breathing heavy, but easier, he looked around, he had somehow lived from the fall, as he looked up he could see where he fell, an impossible height to live from, two voices rang outloud this time "Quickly, You have no time to waste, come to me, I can help you escape from this place." The other then rang out "No, Don't listen to him, he is trying to confuse you, Trying to trick you, help me and I will tell you how to get out." as Alex gripped his head, a ringing sensation though it he thought 'I need to get out of here... But what was that dream... What could it symbolize... damn it..' Alex then began to rise he saw 3 paths, the one on the furthest right seemed to illuminate a great white light, the farthest left a pitch black dark feeling. he slowly began to walk down the middle path, which had strange looking crystals coming out of the stone walls. Alex slowly placed his hand against the stone wall begining to walk faster, as he came to what seemed to be a large room. a skeleton laid next to a red sword. While Alex began to look around the room amazed on how it looked, a large crystal above it all that seemed to make the room bright.

Alex slowly examined the room backing up towards the skeleton and sword. "Wow... this place is just... wow..." he said slowly backing up. The red sword begining to glow, as Alex turns around he sees it glowing "What a weird looking sword" he says picking it up, slowly looking it over, the light grows brighter and seems to blind him. "Gah!" he yells dropping onto the floor when he hears a loud yelling voice from within the blade.

"OW!, WHAT THE HELL! I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO BREAK! DAMN IT! IF I HAD AN ARM OR TWO I'D BEAT YOU!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE BEEN DONE HERE! GOD! IT'S BEEN ALMOST 4000 YEARS!!!" The sword yelled as Alex looked it over, a shocked expression on his face. "Hey... What are you standing around for!? Pick me up goddamnit! Hello!?! Earth to Alex!!!" The sword exclaimed, once again Alex was taken back, Somehow this sword knew his name, it knew who he was. The sword sighed lightly from what Alex could hear "Okay, okay, I get it your freaked out, A talking sword, never seen before, Right? well Listen, The Name's Saimax, I know your name due to you grabbing me, we Connected in a way, I know everything about you that I need to know" Saimax said proudly.

Alex still shocked from this discovery silently and cautiously picked the sword up "How can you speak? are you magic? are you cursed? were you once a person? can you do anything special? are you able to fly? If i use you will I gain red wings? How did you end up down here? Can anyone else hear you?" Arkz asked questioningly as if he had just gone to a toy store for the first time. He smiled as he held the sword, he began to glow bright it's shape changed to that of a Katana, a slick red blade, a sheeth at the Skeleton's side also changed shape. As this happened Alex watched in Amazment never had he saw a sword change shape before him, or even speak.

The sword was reading Alex's fighting style from his mind when he replied to all of his questions "I'm a magical sword, And No i was never a mundane, And I'm nearly indestructible who can help you grow even stronger then you already are, and No i can't fly! And no you won't gain wings! for the last one... I was hoping you could tell me... And as far as I know, only those who have touched my hilt can hear me, So no, as far as I can tell no one living in this Decade can hear me speak but you." Saimax replied as the glowing stopped "now shall we get out of here and rejoin your 'Master' Who will most likly scould you for coming down here?" Saimax said proudly. Alex then asked a question What a Mundane was. "Wait? you don't know what a Mundane is? Well... A mundane is a Human who isn't special, Unlike you, You're a seer, meaning you can see the future, or pieces of it, there mostly wrong though." Saimax said quickly and efficently trying to be a show off. As Alex slowly began to remove the sheeth from the skeleton and put it on himself, the skeleton seemed to come to life. "Hey! Watch out you idiot! behind you! Skeleton coming at you!" Saimax yelled.

Alex reacted quickly to Saimax's words moving away from the skeleton, then swinging Saimax at the skeleton but only slightly out of range. "HEY NUMBSKULL! YOU MISSED!" Saimax yelled, But Alex just smirked as the skeletons skull seemed to fall in half. Saimax quietly anazlyed the skeletons cut in half skull as it deanimated and fell to the ground. "Now it's my turn to ask, How the hell did you do that? Even the greatest swordsmen I knew couldn't do THAT." Saimax excalimed.

"Well..." Alex said sitting down, "That's what my Master Calls Heaven's Blade, we basically cut through the air... wait.. no that's not right... We basically cut though reality, it's a techinque that can cut though anything, or so far anything, the theory of the technique is so great, that eventully someone could possibly cut a mountain in half by mastering it, though I am far from doing so, and so is Master Yin, he can go about... A block or two, while I can only go 1 to 2 feet in front of me, not a very great distance if you ask me, but it shocks most who think that they have me beat." Alex says laughing at the end, he smiles at Saimax then says "Well now that I think of it... I can use that to get out now... that you're here with me, We'll be the best team out there." Alex says giving the swords a thumbs up.

The sword remains silent possibly smiling to itself about what Alex said "Alright, Heaven's Blade Alexander Demonchaser, I think you should go by Arkz, and for those old bible tells, Ya know Heaven asked some dude to make a Ark to help life or something like that, Well I think that you should go by that due to your Technique! and Together we'll be the strongest warriors ever!" Saimax declared with excitment. Alex just smiled at Saimax and shook his head yes. A thought just crossed Alex's head as he shook his head yes.

"How do you hear me? and can you ever see me?" Alex asked questioningly, The sword doesn't have ears, or eyes it seems, but it saw the skeleton that was going to attack him. as Alex quietly studied the sword it remained silent, almost poundering the question itself, "Also... Are you a boy.... or a girl...?" Alex asked as he finally noticed a strange red cat eye looking gem in the hilt. "Is this how you see?" he asked as he sighed and leaned back.

"I don't know how I can hear you, but I can, maybe through the vibrations of your voice, but who knows, I can also see you from every point of my blade, including the hilt, and... I think i'm a boy.. I may be genderless... I sound like a man... I'm not sure" the sword said thinking to itself as well. "oh well... We should get out of here now..."

As they came to the main room with three paths, the other two paths had caved in it appeared, and a set of stone stairs that wasn't there before had also appeared, they went up in a spiral like motion, as Alex began to climb them with Saimax at his side, he eventully reached the top, where there was a light, he quietly went though it and saw that he was at the cave entrence, he then began to walk back to the temple where Master Yin waited for his return, there Alex, explained the whole situation to Yin, and his daughter Mei-Ling, he let both of them grab onto Saimax's handle allowing Saimax to also speak to them, The three listened carefully and quietly to Saimax's tales of his past.

-IN AMERICA-

Alex slowly got off a train, now the age of 17 with Saimax at his side, a M9 pistol behind that and a satchel of Shurikans on his back, accompanying him is Mei-Ling a 14 year old girl and the daughter of Yin, she was told to go with him to America to learn from them, and to watch over Alex's rash decisions, while they are there Alex told her to call him Arkz, and that he'll just call her Mei, as they began to walk down the street, a police officer blew a whistle and began walking towards them. "Do you have a licesnce for that weapon sir?" The Police officer asked pointing towards the sword. Alex quietly looked at Saimax, who he could hear snoring, which made him question how a sword could sleep. All Alex did though was reach in his back pocket and take out a wallet and open it towards the police officer which appeared to be a blank piece of paper to Alex and Mei. But to the officer it was an ID for the FBI, meaning for the officer to keep on walking, sliding the wallet back into his back pocket he sighed.

"I'm glad your father gave me that, I don't know where we'd be without it." Arkz said as he sighed. smacking saimax's hilt into a stone pole as they began to walk out to the street. they were in New York for the moment, they had took a plane from Japan to America and had landed in California, with the Wallet ID, he was able to go anywhere and everywhere, mainly because it shows people what he wants them to see. If he wanted the officer to see a weapon's liscence it would show him that, a useful parting gift from his master. As the two queitly walked, he felt tired and exhausted, they would have to get a room for the night. he sighed and walked to the nearest person. "Do you know where we can get a room?" he asked gradually the man answered shaking his head yes and pointing to a shady motel, as Arkz picked his and Mei's bags up they began to walk towards the motel to stay for the night.
