He will be known as the Barbarian King,and later the Everlasting Emperor, but at the time I first met him he was a prince of a small kingdom, stranded in the beginning of the first millennium, and known only as Aak'r, fourth and last in the line of succession to the throne, the Little Prince.
He was a big man, standing 7 feet tall, long black hair waving in the wind, strong muscles and dark powerful eyes. In his hand he holds a big sword, too big for a normal men to wield with both hands. He was on top of a hill, looking down on a group of maybe 100 men, all armed with swords or axes and dressed in animal skins. Commanding those men was his brother, Prince Heir, a man half his size, dressed in heavy looking plates and with hate on his eyes as he screamed : "Ebony is my wife! She will be until the day I die, little brother!"
"Then you shall die today!"
Aak'r raised his sword, and from behind him came not more than 20 men, all armed with big swords, bodies painted in the blood of wild beasts, eyes blind with the fury of war. The Little Prince ran down the hill, and the Heir hid behind his troops. The first line was smashed under Aak'r's bigger men, and the prince him self sliced one of his brother's chieftains in half, laughing while the blood splattered on his naked torso, the joy of battle overcoming fear and reason. We swung the big sword, cutting a arm and bashing a skull. "I COMING FOR YOU BIG BROTHER!" he screamed, kicking another man and running his sword through his hearth.
Vastly outnumbered, but stronger, fighting from above and enthralled by their leader's words of rage, Aak'r's men had the battle won swiftly and bloodily, more than half of the Prince Heir's troops dead, and from those who survived, some had ran away, some had laid their weapons on the floor. The two brothers faced, one in armor and fear, sword raised trying to protect his face form his brother, that was towering above him.
The Little Prince dropped his sword and dismissed the Heir's with a swift blow from his left hand. With the other hand he grabbed his brother by the neck, lifting his feet from the ground.
"Ebony wishes to be with ME!"
The sound of broken bones, as Aak'r crushed the neck echoed trough the stale, blood filled air. Among the defeated men cries of horror joined the sound of the Little Prince cutting open his brother's dead body and ripping the heart out. He sliced through the heart with his teeth and with blood running down his face he laughed, loud. Around him his men join in the laughter as they got rid of the defeated army.
Later this would be known as the beginning of a rise to power that would sweep the Secret System from link to link and bring war to all the towns in the world, but at the time it was no more than a brother taking back his toy from another...
