The Darker Hour

Lightning flashed in the skies as people scattered to their homes to escape the rain, the drops came down as a shower that pelted the green plains of the world of Terra. Others though kept their pace towards a large golden mountain. At the summit of this mountain, there stood a massive coliseum known as the Rings of Ultimis. One of the oldest known sites of the world and a mysterious one too. A trail of lightning ran behind it in the sky. It was near end of a long autumn and a cold thunderstorm had marked the beginning of one of the most well known rituals of Terra: the Rings of Ultimis Championship Tournament. Year after year, strong warriors who brandished their weapons with hope of placing a mark upon the world in the most coveted area of all, The Grotto of Heroes. Upon this wall were the names of the champions from each tournament. Receiving this honour was the greatest achievement a Terrajin warrior could ever hope to receive. However only a few names ever stood out, the rest became easily forgotten. The rain continued to fall with another thunderbolt in the sky as hundreds of people entered the coliseum.

Aisu: What do we have here? Why is Dark Hour! Don’t be fooled though, as this is more than just a repost. This is a project I’ve been doing over the course of the last year that consists of going through each chapter and fixing up some of the grammatical mistakes I made and editing several portions of the story. No, these are not censors like our favourite television shows, instead these are retcons made so that this story flows into Dark Wars better, and so I can kill off some potential plotholes. At first the changes will be subtle, however the end chapters have been fully revised from start to finish, simply because I wanted to (and in most cases, make something that’s much better)

That said, away we go…
