First Chapter in Heavens Star

[Zeth]

Chapter 1

A young man sat on a window sill looking out over a large city. The man had dark brown hair that went down to a little bit past his ears, and was keep and clean. It did though have small silver strecks in it, which was unusual for most people to see. His eyes were a dark blue, and in the right light it seemed that they would glow. He wore a depressing like look on his face and after a few more moments of looking out over the city his head glanced down to his right hand, which was holding something. It was a pendant, made of silver and in the shape of a feather. It was a family emblem and once the woman he loved wore it. But that was many years ago, and back when there were more of his kind.
There were not many Ryoka left now, most had been hunted after a few rogues had killed top officials of the government. He was all that was left now. His wife, and daughter were killed. He had nothing left to live for. Except he wasn't the only one left. He knew that there was one more left. One who had orcistrated the assassinations, and also survived because he betrayed his race and led the kingdoms army against his kind.

This man, Zeth AngelWing, or Zeth Yukimora as he was not called would get his revenge on Sinx DarkWing. His hand clasped over the pendent and he brought it up to his chest and closed his eyes and gave a small sigh." Nena, Ren, i will avenge your death, I will kill him." His eyes opened back up and looked out over the city once more.
He had learned that Sinx was in the area, searching around in a cave for something. This wasn't the most reliable information. It could be a trap but Zeth had nothing else to lose.

"Its time to be off and time to get my revenge." Zeth got up off of the window sill and walked over to the bed that was in the room he rented. On it rested his traveling clothing. A black scarf that wrapped around his neck, and keep that and his mouth hidden so to hid his identity. A pair of fingerless gloves with a set of steel on the top were the buckled at. A sword sat next to those. It was a great sword, that was nicknamed Shadow. Reason being its sheath was made of black leather, and also the blade sometimes seemed to let off a black like mist when it was used, but that was only sometimes.

Zeth proceeded to put these articles of clothing on and after the were on his person he walked out of the room, leaving his pack, and other belongings behind. Only thing he keep with him that was important was his AngelWing pendant.
He exited the inn, and proceeded to the exit of the city, which wasn't to far from were he had been staying. Although it was an hour walk from there. This gave him ample time to get a plan formulated, and find an escape route if it came to that. But he didn't plan on making it out alive. He would die and with it the rest of his race and that they ever existed.

With in an hour or so he came to the area. It seemed that the cave was well guarded. What was going on here, and it seemed that the king was here as well. His royal carage was off to the side." Hmm seems like I will have to sneak by, or kill them. It seemed that taking them out would be the only way.
Zeth closed his eyes and took a deep breath. From his back a, on the left side a large black wing, as long as he was tall, and as wide as he was wide, burst forth from his back. It looked like a angels wing, or bird with, which ever you chose. His finger nails grew, and were made to look like claws and last but not least his teeth turned to fangs. This was what set his race apart from humans, they looked like them till they transformed.

With that wing out he lept into the air and took to the sky. He only went twenty feet in the air. Out of the site of the three guards outside of the cave. Then he came down right above them. Hitting one on the back of the neck. He rushed ahead and struck at a third, but this time hitting him square on in the gut with his fist, knocking him out. Zeth turned to get the other but he was rushing into the cave to alert the other inside. Zeth was forced to. He pulled out a dagger from his belt and let if fly. It hit him in the back of the neck and severed the spin. He was alive only for a few moments though, then everything went black.

Zeth took off into the cave lving the dagger behind though. It seemed like he was running forever but finally he came to the cavern were Sinx and the king were. He took a peek into the cavern to see that he was right. The two were in there, but there were others, two guards, both elite guard from the kinds trusted force, the Shadow Elite. This would be a battle that would kill him. But that wouldn't matter he was only here to kill Sinx and that was all. He looked around the room to take in the area and find advantage points. But he found nothing like that. Instead he found strange symbols on the ground, walls and ceiling. There was also a platform in the middle that also had the strange symbols as well, also what looked like a time symbol from the old forgotten writtings of his people. That didn't matter, there was not places to take advantage of so he would have to rush out and take out as much, or just take out Sinx. He decided he would take out all that were in his way on the way to Sinx. Slowly he unsheathed Shadow so that it could not be herd. He took a deep breath and dashed out.

The closest person was one of the guards. Before he could even register that Zeth was there, he was already impailed by shadow. Zeth ripped the sword out of him right after it went in about half way. The guard fell away dying from blood loss. Next to come was the king. He would not kill him, not right now atleast. If he got the chance then maybe later. The king being a really good swords man put up a well faught fight. His sword, a long sword came out of its sheath. It was a well designed sword with a blade made of strong silver. Leading the way was shadow, its point going right for a less direct attak at the shoulder. The king moved his shoulder out of the way and thrusted his sword forward. Not caring if he got a bit hurt, up came Zeth's hand, it knocked the blade down so that it sliced a small gash in his right leg. His hand was wounded as well when the sword was deflected. Up came Zeth's knee, the king having little experiance with the strength of Ryoka under estimated how much his kick would hurt. He did however get his leg out but Zeth's knee connected with it and shattered the shin bone on the blocking leg. Down he went to the ground. All the while this was happening Sinx was getting ready. Slowly taking out his two daggers and waiting to fight Zeth when he finished.
Zeth stood over the king, a hateful look on his face."You will soon pay for the slaughter of my friends and family. But first I take care of him." He turned to Sinx who was ready for the fight. He ran at him, shadow's tip scraping the ground as he went, filling the room with an errie scratching sound. This would be a one attack battle, it would decide who survived and who dies. Up went Zeth into the air. Shadow going up for a vertical attack. Then down he came Shadow cleaving down fast and hard. Sinx's daggers came up, but crossed, to deflect Zeth's sword the best way without breaking an arm. Both weapons connected. When they did Zeth poured all of his energy into Shadow, which made it smoke black, and let off an aura of death.
The Time symbol below them started to glow, activated by Zeth's power release. It glew with a blue light. Sinx smiled, and Zeth wore an expression of confusion. Then they were gone, the platform empty. Guards rushed into the room to the aid of thier king."What happend my lord?" One asked." I do not know." Was all he said

************************************************** ************************************************** ********************************

Zeth lay in an alley way. It was three thousand years in the future, and Sinx was no were to be found. The area was cold, it must be in the middle of winter, it was also near midnight. Small specks of snow covered the concrete under Zeth. He gave a small shiver as he lay there unconsious.
A form dropped down infront of him, and it smiled down at him. "Finally Zeth, you have appeared. We have been waiting for you to come. The threat has gotten worse." It wore a hood over its head. Then the hood dropped to reveal a female. She was smiling sincerely at him. She had dark brown eyes, and even darker brown hair. Her face was the look of beauty,and yet if Zeth were awake he would almost have a heart attack.

Zeth stirred a bit. But the woman only smiled more. She bent down and picked him up, slinging him over he shoulder. Then here eyes closed, Out of her back came two white wings. Equally the size of Zeth's one wing, which was still out. After that she reached down and picked up Zeth's sword and put it back into the sheath on his back. With all of this done she lept into the air and took off into the cool night.
