Chapter 2: Current Times


Koram and Sarah May had one son. They named him Kyzen. He became a Battle like his father and specialized in swords. They lived in Neravien, one of the biggest cities in Moracius. The other two are Lamis and Kratias.

Kyzen met and married Defender Shora Mairei and they spent the rest of the as an incredible team! They had two children of their own. The oldest was their daughter Susan, named so in honor of their Earthly roots. Their youngest and only son was Kyzen Jr. Susan and Kyzen both chose to be Battle Demox, Kyzen using spears and bo-staffs and Susan became an archer. Susan had two daughters and Kyzen, strangely enough had a daughter and son respectively.

Here’s the good part! He named his daughter Kimi, and his son Dyron. That’s me! Dyron Anokuro! Though I Demox, my sister does not. She’s more of a businesswoman. Always has been. She’s the perfect girl for business. She’s persuasive, good with numbers, popular, and I’m not gonna lie, beautiful. She’s 19, me being three years younger at 16. That is me and my family history.

Now as I mentioned earlier, we live in Neravien. Neravien is famous for its history of great Demoxes among other things. The city of Lamis is very political and is the wealthiest of the three. Kratias is known for its gigantic factories and technology including 65% of weapons production in Moracius. These three cities as a whole are the ruling body of Moracius, using a variant of the checks-and-balance system.

Another thing about the cities is that they love to compete against one another. The biggest is the Demox Race. This is a perilous, ruthless, cross country trek across a land uninhabited for centuries.

Two members form a team for each city with an alternate just in case. An Anokuro has never participated in the Demox Race. Until now that is! Yes, I make half of Team Neravien for this year’s race! Well, a third if you count the alternate.

Here’s the rest of the team. My official partner is my best and lifelong partner, Hope. She’s a Mage. Her grandmother was so good a Mage that she earned the title of Elite Priestess and served the government for at least 30 years in this position. Me and Hope’s friendship goes back before us! Our moms were best friends in high school. We even live next door to each other!

Our alternate is my cousin Anthony. He’s a Battle Demox specializing in most blades single and dual. He moved here from Earth with his Mother and little sister when I was about 11. Yep, he’s on my great-uncle’s side making Anthony his great-grandson.

But I haven’t revealed much about myself now have I? Everything my grandpa, dad, and aunt used, I do as well. But about five years ago, I took up one of the most dangerous weapons in Demox history. The chain scythe. The originator of the chain scythe is unknown, but all we know is that they took the blade of a scythe and welded a chain to it. I have mastered it, which few have done. To some degree I’m called somewhat of a prodigy among the three cities. In the near future, I hope to master the double chain scythe.
