The blood will run thick, like oceans of past shadows.

The Blood Kings
Hale to the abyss said the leader of the shadow organization entitled the blood kings. We declare the masters of our universe. They kept chanting at the false golden idle hanging on the wall. Above the fire place. Inside the huge temple located in the middle of the West Virginian Mountains. There oldest ancestor the one that started the organization placed the temple far in the West Virginia Mountains. Because it would be the last place anyone would ever look for it. The blood kings were a systematic organization built by a mercenary soldier. In whom was outcast. Do to the work he did for his own government. The people who did him wrong would have never thought that he would come back around. Like a nightmare with an army of warriors behind him. After they pledged there loyalty everything went silent. For a few seconds. As there leader approached. Then he spoke saying this. We are a clan of unique warriors. We stand before the world as outcasts. Let them believe whatever they need to believe in order for them to be able to tolerate there own small, and closed minds. We have come together to rewrite the history of this world. But even that comes at a price, and that price is war. So lets bring that war to them. Are you with me? everyone yelled yes we are! Then tomorrow at 6am we strike first, and without mercy, and do you know why? Because we are change, and change never dies it just re-manifests into different versions in different times, and because we are change we are forever evolving, and becoming more powerful then ever before.
Everyone cheered as he walked off the stage. Within his temple.
Afterwards they all retired to there bunks. Located behind his temple. Until the next morning. Now the leader of this army of outcasts name was Master Pier. No one knew his real name. But they followed him because he demanded respect, and would accept nothing else. Some would go as far as to say that the universe shifted when he spoke. That was the Ora he possessed, and how carried himself.
The next morning at 6:00am
That morning they rode out each with there own mission handed to them. In teams of mercenaries they were to spread there influence threw the entire world. By any means necessary, and when he said any means necessary he meant it. As for master sanction himself he staid in his temple, and let his warriors do his bidding for him. He locked himself in the top of the temple, and stayed consistently in a meditative state. The entire time all of this was going on. Hoping to direct positive energy in all directions. To protect his followers from harm. This type of focus also helped him to conceal his temple into complete invisibility. So no one could ever find him. If you ask how could he do this? Then understand this. He spent much time in his travels. Before this time in the midst of a clan of ancient monks, and sages that taught him many things Including how to control energy, and re manifest it in any form or fashion. 6 years later the war was over his warriors had won for him. Now his rein of power began. Certain past enemies had
been caught and imprisoned as war criminals. They were brought to his temple to be dealt with each one
was selected to be captured off of a list that he had given each team.
As he stood before all of his enemy's. The black bag that was placed over each of there heads was removed so they knew who they were standing before. At that moment the looks on there faces were perfect they looked shocked, and ashamed at the same time. He laughed at them, and then told his warriors to place them each at a pole out back of his temple, and poor kerosene over them. Then light the flame, and burn them into non existence. His last words to them before there sentence was carried out was this is punishment for your small minded evil, and ignorant attempt on my life over so many years.
now you reap what you’ve sewn. I win, you lose. Take this trash away to there fate. Then his personal guard asked him whats next Master Sanction he replied with now we change the world forever.
200 years later
My name is professor James Ronald, and I am hear to present to you a statue of the man that changed everything. Its because of him there is no more violence, no more wars, no more hunger, homelessness or disease, and no more death. He molded the world in the light of the greater good. He brought love respect, loyalty, and honor back to all of our society. So I now present this statue in the honor of Master Sanction our fearless, and wise leader.
Then one of the students walked up, and read the bottom of the statue, and he asked have you ever met him professor? The professor replied with this statement once when I was a boy. But he stays to himself in his temple in the mountains in the united states. he never comes out anymore. He has been retired for quite some time. Then the boy looked at the professor, and said he must have been a wonderful person. The professor laughed, and replied with that he is, and always will be.
