Chapter 1 - The world of magic! ' Empyrium'

* TWENTY THOUSAND YEARS AGO FROM PRESENT *

There was a world far from the mortal eyes of humans who lived on the Earth. This world was located on a whole different continent all by itself , of which there were very few entries in the normal dimension. These entry points tested the strength, wisdom and determination of a person before allowing them to enter this land where supernatural power governs everything instead of science. Any normal human faced utter hopelessness if he or she tried to challenge these gates to land of supernatural , the land of infinite possibilities known as ' The Empyrium '. Supernaturals of various categories resided there and used to take active participation in fulfillment of the 'motto' of this paranormal land that was to ensure the safety of normal dimension by the intraterrestial existences and also from the evil known as 'blood seekers'. These evil existences have only one aim in mind and that is to rule the world of humans.

Power here was divided in different levels and each level had its own function and significance.

This world of power and possibilities didn't only has supernaturals but also humans who had failed to catalize power or the humans who had arrived from holy gates although thier numbers were low. Supernaturals also ensured the safety of the non magical existence.

' The Empyrium ' was a land filled with YUJ which is the most basic element of power and the more powerful a person becomes the more they can comprehend and contact to their surrounding's YUJ. Supernaturals who can cast this energy by drawing them from surrounding to their bodies are the first stage wielders called 'Greenhorn', likewise when a person starts manipulating YUJ of a small area in their surrounding for their own convenience then they are considered second stage wielders called 'Rookie' and like this many more supernaturals - some at even higher stages -were present in the Empyrium. YUJ was the fuel driving the abilities of these supernatural existences.

The people of Empyrium who had powers were trained in special academies called 'School of command and control'(SCC). One should know that these schools had efficient Masters who trained newly catalysed Greenhorns to control and use their powers as the name itself suggests.

This land had a very developed system where magic and science coexisted together. There was also a law management system which was the supreme authority in this land. This management system provided for rules and regulations in the Empyrium. The name of this association was 'The judgement court ' . It's branches were widespread throughout the Empyrium and maintained the peaceful existence.

The blood seekers were actively destroying the peace of this world under the command of thier new leader who will also be considered evilest creature world has ever seen. The death tolls were rising under this new commander and the judgement court had shifted it's attention to this 'new leader'.

* HUNDRED YEARS LATER FROM PRESENT *

The day was dull and gloomy but for some reason the people in a certain place were very pompous. They were celebrating something with great fervor. The place was not big but the houses were very close to each other.

At the centre of this region there was a pretty well kept mansion , which was quite out of place for a down trodden locality but if one looked from a certain height they will notice that the setting of the locality was very tricky where houses at outskirts were broken and run down and as one starts moving towards its centre, the condition of houses starts improving from faded to eye catching and then to grand.

In the mansion of the village the atmosphere was even more lively. Several well dressed and important looking people were sitting or standing in the hall. At the raised platform of the hall there was a good looking man with blond hair and fair face which was chiseled . The man was sitting there observing his vicinity with care free look but tremendous joy can be sensed in his blue eyes as if he has won the world.

Suddenly some disturbances could be heard outside the hall. The man frowned and said to one of his guards in an authoritative voice

" who dares disturb my happy time? Go check it."

The guard moved immediately to resolve the problem.

Few moments later several footsteps approached the hall. The guard was seen leading a group towards the raised platform with a tensed face.

" What is it?" demanded the man.

The guard looked reluctant at first but after looking at the irritated look of his boss he said " Great setate Lux we found just now that someone killed one of our men and threw him in the outskirts..."

The look on the man's face changed from irritated to intrigued ' Who dares go against me now ? ' thought the man.

" Who died?" the man asked aloofly.

The guard became even more tensed as sweat can be seen pouring down his face continuously.

"Great setate .... urrh..he was th...the ... ju.. junior master Le..Leonard."

The man's face darkened as if someone painted his face with charcoal.

He lunged out of his chair and grabbed the guard, lifting him in air few inches from ground before demanding " What did you say? Leo is dead? Who did it ?Tell me who did it?".

The guard was shivering all over and answered chokingly " massster we do... don't know yeet please hafe mercy" The man threw the guard some distance away.

"Use all resources and find out Who did this ....or I'll kill all of you."

The people in the hall were terrified when they sensed the murdurous aura of the man.

A frail lady from the group whom the guard had brought came forward shivering and extended her hand towards the man, "Master we got this letter alongside the body"

" What is it in it?"

" I ...I didn't che.....check."

The man snatched the letter from her hand and tore the seal open taking out the paper to look what was written.

The darkened face of the man lost all its colour all of a sudden. His demeanor changed to a frightened puppy and he started shaking with a pale face . The people in the hall were confused as to what was in the letter that their evil master is so frieghtend. As everyone was confused, the letter dropped from the shivering hands of the man and reached to the feet of the guard who was now kneeling.

The words on the letter registered in guards mind he bagan twitching in horror,his nose and ears started bleeding due to intense pressure."He.....he is not dead....he didn't die ...the devil is alive" saying this the guards eyes bulged as his heart failed to work he vomited blood and then died on the spot. The whole hall fell silent. The silence was of their approaching horrible fate.
