Verse 1 troubled youth
Born into poverty Leon lived in the slums of Brightvale spending his youth begging and stealing to survive, never meeting his father who had left him on possession a strange key that he kept on a peace of string around his neck at all times. His mother was a sleeper who sold herself for money sacrificing her dignity for the money she needed to feed herself and Leon. One night a customer became violent and stabbed his mother entering the room he found his mother dead as the man fled he cut Leon across the face leaving him bleeding. Standing up his face covered in blood he followed the man to his home. Waiting until he slept Leon entered the house and used the man’s own knifes to stab him through his eyes, as the blood sprayed onto Leon he stayed motionless his own blood dripping to the floor. With his revenge complete he returned home waited buy his dead mother. Hours passed and a pair of guards and a knight entered seeing the dead lady and the pale boy who also seemed bathed in blood taking the kid to a doctor the knight Sebastian saint cross stayed with the boy watching him as he slept for weeks, His facial scaring never healing.
Verse 2 a new life
When he awoke he was inside a mansion and his wound had been healed during his slumber. The knight had buried his mother and chose to adopt him, the knight who had only recently lost his real son and wife to an illness felt a kind of kinship with the boy and so the boy Leon became Leon saint cross. Finding his new life hard he trained twice a day with a sword and bow spending his spare time reading absorbing the knowledge he thought would keep him from further heartache. Attending formal banquets and parties he became a favourite of the ladies and princesses that attended, his quiet mysterious facade amused them.
Meeting a few friends peter Solomon and Darius Faturo. peter was a kind boy who kept to himself he was the only son of a lord of some kind and there was darius who was quite the joker the three became close friends and Leon felt a sense of kinship with the only true friends he had ever known.
Verse 3 Julia
Living a life he could have only dreamed about as a kid he spent his time studying hard and training with his new father or with his new friends although darius had a thing for getting then into trouble. Attending a party one night he sat as usual watching the others dance while darius and peter also danced. Thinking about his new life he slumped his head feeling a soft breeze he looked to see the most beautiful creature he had ever seen standing on the balcony. Standing he walked over and stood at the other end of the balcony watching the woman and trying to buck up the courage to ask her to dance. even asking her name would be better then standing there like a moron, turning she smiled softly and walked over as Leon felt butterfly’s in his stomach and a frog in his throat he stood there too scared to move as she said
“I’m Julia what’s your name?”
That name would become engraved in his mind and as he stuttered the word
“I...I’m le...Leon”
The rest of the night seemed like a dream and before he could wake up it was over. Standing on the balcony still they had talked for hours she smiled kissed him cheek and said
“I hope I see you again”
Watching as she walked of his face began to blush, her word staying with him even as he dreamed and she would see him again. for the following months they became inseparable Leon felt a sense of belonging with her and eventually confessed his love. Standing waiting for a reply for what seemed like an eternity she kissed him. As time once more passed Leon trained twice as hard and got engaged to Julia and also somehow found time to see his friends peter and darius.
Entering the academy to become a knight he couldn’t be happier he was to be a knight and had the girl of his dreams and the life to match it.
Verse 4 the academy
Upon arrival the word stunning didn’t even cover the reality of the academy, the place was huge its statutes stood proud in the entrance the statues where of kings of old and heroes of the realm. Walking up the marble stairs toward the gates of Ashelion academy Leon smiled this was truly stunning.
The room he was lead to was made mostly of the finest oak he sat on his new bed and thought being a knight was one of his dreams but when he was a child they seemed unattainable. After a few days Leon stumbled upon the library it was huge a true knowledge seekers dream, Spending a long time reading training his mind he also excelled at melee combat. Tutored by sir Tylan a knight considered the best in his time know an old man hoping to inspire a new generation.
Writing daily to his beloved Julia after a short time he was join by peter who had final gotten admittance into the academy asking about darius he learned his friend had become a trader of rare artefacts, helping peter settle in he found it comforting seeing someone from his home town, years passed and both peter and Leon graduated and when knighted in Brightvale cathedral by the king himself, arriving home to his beloved he decided to finally get married, it was a huge wedding in the same cathedral he had been knighted in, settling down he was once again in Brightvale with the woman he loved.
Verse 5 the war
Placed second in commanded of a platoon of soldiers Leon and peter where enlisted times where changing and war was on the horizon, the world would never be the same. Leaving Brightvale and his new wife they travelled north to engage a shinobi army, the battle was intense and Leon’s first real taste of fighting, he killed any one who faced him. Upon arriving at his tent he received word his father had been wounded by shinobi warriors. Having to stay because of an upcoming battle he hoped his father would be ok. Fighting through the months and months of endless battles he was given command after the knight in charge died. Becoming leader he won great victory’s, he seemed invincible to his men as there trust in his combat and tactical skill grew he was given more and more dangerous battles as his men grew more and more close to him they became a band of brothers lead by him and peter. After battles he would collect the items of interest from his fallen foes placing them in a chest he would send to his fort near Polaris city. After one such battle he found a strange sword amongst the corpse of his enemy general. After returning to Polaris city after the battle he discovered the sword was of dark origins he decided to put it to use as his swords had been getting broke left right and centre. A old book said it was a soul sabre and that once there was a spell he could cast that could awaken the blade in this form it just collected soul energy but in its awakened state it could collect and use that power through a link to its wielder. Taking the sword he used it in the years of combat that followed not caring for the souls of the fallen shinobi as in his eyes they where evil.
Finally after a long hard fought victory he was given orders to march for Brightvale on the way he discovered Ashelion academy in ruins the children and tutors all dead he collected what he could and sent the items to his hold in Polaris city. Fighting his way home for months he was greeted by the smell of the dead the city he loved was gone the ruins still burning. Rushing to Julia’s home he found her dead and his heart broke unable to believe the obvious truth he ordered one of his healers to heal her all it did was remove to wounds but she still lay dead. Carrying her in his arms he marched for his fort near Polaris city.
Verse 6 a dark turn of events
Upon arrival he searched through his collection of items and found a book his men had retrieved from the academy’s secret basement archives it was locked by a key feeling draw to the book he removed the key that was around his neck and it unlocked the book revealing that it was a book of darkest black magic’s using the magic’s he encased Julia in a magical orb to keep her body well preserved the book had pages telling of steps to achieving his goal bringing her back even if it meant using the darkest magic. Placing her in a temple in Polaris city and Spending months reading the book he became more powerful in the dark arts as the book seemed to be linked to him. As his friend peter began to fear for his friend’s soul he confronted him. After the talk seemed to go nowhere he said he would take command until Leon could see what the path he was choosing would do to his soul. Leon refused saying peter had betrayed him after a long sword fight Leon’s right hand was sliced open unable to continue the fight he grabbed the book and there was an explosion that engulfed the room killing peter but the book reviled its self it was the Necra mortis once his biological fathers it had been awaked by his blood and it spoke of his fathers death by a knight. Learning more the book told him he was its heir and that he would get all he desired there was a time that he would have simply burnt the book but this offer just made a sinister smile creep across his lips. Using the book to sink the city of Polaris with the people still inside there homes and Julia placed in a temple in the city he would raise it when he had completed his goals letting the book guide him he became more powerful then he ever dreamed but alas the book said it needed the will of a demon to bring his wife back to her former beauty. As the book lead him around the world with his soldiers that remained loyal he discovered a depth of secret knowledge and power. After his search lead him to an item he needed a black candle made from the remains of a dead demon.

Learning this Leon began to think his father was betraying him as he still believed peter had. Deciding he needed more power using the black candle he cast 3 spells one to awaken his sword another to make his armour a Faustian armour and the third bonding the book to his blood. Upon arrival his troops where decimated by the superior army of humans but all was not lost he used a spell to bring them back but as he had feared they where now just mindless zombies not a fate he wished for his beloved Julia. As the human army fought the horde of dead, the more that died just added to the horde. His father stepped forward and cast a spell of his own making the ground swallow every thing only a few soldiers survived and sent word of Leon’s defeat but he was not dead he had used the book to travel through a shadow to a safe distance as he watched his father and army sink to there death. Using this time he pretended to be dead using its mask he continued his search for a demon it lead him to an old blind man who could see the future, walking inside the mans house he paid for his services and the man saw a vision of a great demon coming forth and freezing the very surrounding in his awakening. But Leon knew the man would also tell others about this so he killed him as he had done the many others standing in his way.
