The Yamakun Saga: Full Moon

Eons ago...

         Before our world was civilized it was ruled by war and chaos that has brought about the rise of the demons upon our world. A monster called Yamakun rose from the depths of Hell and conquered our world for he was the deadliest of all the demon horde. It was by the power of three legendary Heroes, Noracta, Hamakuros, and the 13th Warrior of the Dragonus, that they defeated the wretched beast. Though their king gone, the demon still controlled the land with great and vicious fury. Our heroes, who had defeated Yamakun...no longer had the strength to continue living. The battle had taken its toll on the three. So a victory for us, was also a loss. 10 years had passed and the demons continue to enslaved human like cows. They mined deep below the ground in serach for lost relics of their kind in hope to one day challenge God himself. In the kingdom of Delga, a demon queen called Yamako rules over the land with fear and cruelty as her right hand. She had created a field of mining yellow sand to the city of Jarqe. It was rare to find more than grass and rock among the land. This yellow sand, she believes, could benefit her people in numerous ways. Yamako controlled and terrified these people so that each generation knew her wrath, there was one she could not strike into no matter how hard she tried...her most loyal servant...a boy she found in at the gates many years ago. She does not know where the child came from, but this boy is dedicated to the queen even as she spreads her reign of terror across the land to further her power, he gives her his full support. He lives in the small clay house below the castle and behind the colossal walls surrounding miles and miles of land that she claims. This boy answers only to Yamako and that was all she needed. When he was seven, the boy did double the work that was done by Yamako's higher workers. Four years later, the boy brought the queen a flower that can only be grown every ten thousand years. Yamako has seen devotion in the boy and allowed him a private room in her castle as a Chief Instructor to the work force. At the age of seven-teen, do to his loyalty, Yamako allowed the boy to train under the Devil arts master himself and learn the art of Shadow Fighting. Within three years time, the boy had mastered the Shadow Fighting art that would take even a pure blood two hundred years to master. She then made him her personal body guard and a personal attendant to her. The boy enjoyed his life no matter what was given to him. One night, the queen invited him to her room and they stood on the balcony. They over saw the clay houses and mining facility of her kingdom. She looked at the boy and sees how he has grown from the scrawny child into a well disciplined man. He was dressed in his slave work cloths and didn't wear foot coverings with blonde hair. He looked to the queen and saw her blue shimmering hair and crystal eyes that brought praise to her ruby lips. He admired the sparkling floor length dress she wore. Her pale skin mirrored the moon. They stared into each other's eyes and see so much more than they believe. The boy had always loved the queen ever since he was three and could remember her face. The queen adored him as well since he had brought the flower to her many years ago that still sits in a thin vase by her bed. The flower shines a blue bright light in the dark and relaxes the queen as she sleeps. The queen and the boy walk over bed and sit close. She lays her head upon his shoulder and he lays his head upon hers. They stare out the balcony into the stars and vast blackness of space. As true lovers, the boy grabs her hand and grasps it. Yamako looks at him and he looks at her. They move in close as if for a kiss, but Yamako turns her head away and gets up from the bed, the boy follows, but Yamako snaps her finger which caused the boy to stop.

"Return to your room Leo" She said with her hair blocking her eyes. The boy took her hand and Yamako turned around to him and her hair moved from her face. The boy looked at her like it would be the last time they see each other. Yamako ran up to him and held him and didn't want to let go. She began to cry on his shoulder and the boy held in his cry to show her that he is not afraid of being executed for saving an innocent human from the falling rocks by using the Shadow Art to destroy the boulders. "I can't lose you!" The boy looked at her and wiped away her tears. Her eyes were red with emotions and sorrow.

"I know this had gone out of your judgment, but you mustn't cry for me" Leo said. "There is a difference between a man who wants to be right and a man who doesn't want to be wrong. all that matters is the purpose it's used for", Yamako looked at Leo and grabbed his face then kissed him like it would be his last kiss from her. She slowly ended her kiss with her hands shaking when she released her grip from his head. Suddenly from Leo's eyes, Yamako's face and hands that were descending flashed into a man with a black hood over his head with a crowd silent and Leo feeling a rope being tightened around his neck. Drums played as a symbol of his final music. His hands were bided with rope and his feet were tied together. In the distance, he felt Yamako was watching from a window in the castle. He looked up to the bright blue sky and saw Yamako's face in the clouds before a quick moment of the silence of the drums and the sound of the lever being pulled. Yamako cried and as she watched as Leo's body hung below the ground...silent.Leo was child feared from the moment he was born and any high ranking demon saw him a threat, no matter what he did.
