The Ace of Blades
Chapter 1
Our young hero has just defeated Jack of Blades. Deciding for ultimate evil, he has slain his sister and kept the Sword of Aeons. Now that he is without family in the land of Albion, he is the supreme ruler of the land. He spares no one, not even his own minions, if they disagree with him. He does not accept insolence, and he hesitates not to kill any who stand in his path. Upon conquering all the land, he dubbed himself The Ace of Blades. He commands an army the size of Bowerstone's population, but it does not stop him, for he is the most powerful being of the world. But from another world. . . that is a different story . . .
The Guildmaster, who once was more powerful than Ace, is now dead. But a stronger force than our hero, now villainous tyrant, could ever imagine was coming. Moments before his death, the Guildmaster accessed a special device: The Godsend Pendant. Using this, he transported himself to another land, known as Astria to call for help from the great heroes. Astria is the alternate dimension of Albion, and the greatest being there is a hero by the name of Hannah Grey. Upon defeating the world's most terrifying being, Hannah spared her brother's life and cast the Sword of Eternity into the transdimensional rift. The Guildmaster requested Hannah's help in the land of Albion.
Hannah is now disguised as a peasant in the town of Bowerstone as a fair lady by the name of Amanda. She goes to the castle, built soon after Ace's reign began, to speak with the king about town affairs. Upon reaching the castle, two guards halted her.
"What is your name, peasant?" the guards inquired gruffly simultaneously.
"I am Amanda, I hail from the village of Bowerstone, and I wish to speak with the king." she replied.
"The king does not speak with mere peasants, so leave."
"Let her in." Ace's voice came from the doorway behind the guards.
"But, sir. . ."
Ace burst open the door and cut the guard's throat with his blade. "I said, let her in."
"Thank you, sir. 'Tis such an honor."
"State your business, madam, and do so quickly. I have little time to waste. Are you worth my time?"
"Yes sir, I am here about our village's food supplies."
"Are they not plentiful enough?"
"No, sir, we are only sent one barrel of whine and a crate of bread monthly. We are starving."
"That's already more than you need. Now, begone. You are NOT worth my time."
"Yes, sir." she turned to leave. After taking five steps, she turned to see Ace and the other guard walking back in the door. She quietly followed him in, and pulled a blade that was strapped to her leg out from under her dress. As soon as went through the door, Ace said "Are you testing my patience, madam?" She didn't reply, frantically trying to put the sword back into her dress. Ace turned around and stated "Madam, if you don... what were you planning with that blade?"
"Nothing sir."
"Guards, seize her!" In moments, Hannah was surrounded by guards. She pulled her blade back up to her waist, waiting for a guard to try to grab her. A guard unsheathed his sword and rushed towards her...
