1 Marauding Baron.

"Will you dimwits put your heads to it and stop messing around with me?!"a booming voice exclaimed in annoyance. It belonged to a tall,average looking man. He was endowed with charcoal black long hair and dark gold eyes on a finely chiseled face. His brown skin complimented his set of clothes;brown trousers,grey long sleeve shirt and black cloak with gold draconic designs. The designs resembled a shenlong. He was known as Sir Bolderick. He was the teacher and caretaker of three children;two boys and a girl. The boys were 15 and 14 respectively while the girl was 12.

They lived in a world of martial artists. In this world,the type of ones martial arts determined his or her destiny. The types of martial arts were Defense and Offense(D&O)martial arts,Spirit martial arts,Speed martial arts and Beast martial arts. How these martial arts came to be were told in legends that during the time that the Humans and the Brelores,the two races in this world,were forced into hiding because of the changing world and introduction of Wild Beasts and other dangerous life forms,four brave young people ventured out into the new world to explore and find answers for the current demise of the two races. That was the time the humans and the brelores united to fight their way through. They ventured and through their adventure became one with the new world,comprehending the mysteries within the world. How they did it was not told but through their comprehensions,people got new hope. Slow but steadily,they passed on the most important aspects of their comprehensions to the people. Those comprehensions are now known as the Martial Arts of the Fore Bearers. Among the Fore Bearers were three humans and a brelore. As a matter of fact,brelores looked no different from humans except for their exceptional red,golden or silver eyes and beautiful scales which started forming on their faces down to their necks when they reached the age of 18. The scales complimented the color of their eyes when they formed.

With the newly acquired power,the humans and brelores got the power to fight back and eventually dominate the war. Slowly they came back to the top and everything continued as they are now. The next generations took after their ancestors and also comprehended the mysteries of the world and gained the various Martial Arts. But,theirs were different from the ancestors. Instead of comprehending when they were old,they started or their minds started the comprehensions when they were babies and it took at least 15 years for them to fully comprehend and gain one of the Martial Arts. A person could gain only one Martial Art.

"Did you hear that,dickhead?!"one of the people referred to as dimwits exclaimed. "I heard alright donkey."the other one shouted back. They were the two boys among the kids Sir Bolderick was taking care of. They were all orphans and Sir Bolderick saw them as a way to seal his past which he had forgotten. They were Kevin Black and Revel Bone. Kevin Black was the eldest of the kids being 15 years,then Revel being 14 and the girl Lolita Black being 12. She was the younger sister of Kevin. Kevin had brown skin,ashen black,short,messy hair and grey eyes on a perfect angular face. He was 5'3 feet tall with a slim and average build. Revel the other one was 5'1 feet tall with a slim and average build. He had a noble-like temperament around him unlike Kevin who acted like a barbarian. He had golden black short hair and red eyes on a perfect angular face. His skin appeared pale complimenting his cold nature unlike the carefree Kevin. Lolita the youngest was slim with a slightly curvy stature. She was still in her development stage a reason for her flat chest but all in all she was extremely pretty and cute. She had brown skin like her brother which rather brightened her dark golden eyes and white blonde hair. Her perfect round face and plump pink lips made her extremely beautiful.

"Did you call me a donkey,DICKEY?!"Revel shouted. "What you gonna do about that?!"Kevin sneered. "Will you guys stop what you are going!"Lolita shouted from where she stood beside Bolderick. "Shut up! No one called you!" Revel scooped a handful of dung and threw it at Lolita only for it change directions and splatter on Bolderick's face. "Someone's dead" Kevin taunted. Bolderick wiped his face of dung a looked coldly at Kevin and Revel. "Kevin! Head to the forest and bring me the head of a Marauding Baron. I don't care about it's level. You have 30 minutes. If you're even a second late, you miss supper. Revel, I want 20 buckets full of Mad Donkey dung without impurities. You've 15 minutes to get it done or you also miss supper." Bolderick said in a mock tone. "Bbb…but Sir? I don't have the power to do that. I can die in just a second." Kevin stammered. "Then you die. Your timer already started." Bolderick replied with a smirk.

Kevin could only swallow his anger as he took an axe and barged in to the slightly dense forest behind the house. He was so angry that he basically forgot he was in a forest and started venting his anger by exclaiming loudly. Nothing happened though as he was just at the entrance of the forest which only had slightly normal animals like small birds and squirrels.

Still shouting and granting, he crossed the safe zone but his anger and stupidity got the better of him. He totally ignored the danger he was in. After 10 minutes, he realized his surroundings as the place became unusually quiet. The silence was so loud that he instinctively took a few steps back. He bumped into a sturdy but furry obstacle but he did not think much of it. But after a moment, he froze in shock. The axe fell from his hands which had become sweaty and slippery. He was so in shock that he even felt his breathing annoying and loud. He instinctively gulped in fear. Gathering a tinny bit of courage, he turned around and saw himself face to face with a 6ft tall dark brown body with a strange wide mouth and exposed tusk-like teeth. It appeared to be smiling from his point of view.

"Fuck! A Marauding Baron!" that was all what he could muster to think.
