Oblio95, Warrior of the Light and Dark

For as long as they could remeber, the people of Okren Town had been terrorized by the sea beast. On their tiny island, they had no true way of protecting themselves from the great creature. Every year, the hulking monster required a sacrifice to satiate its immense hunger. The villagers could do nothing but offer the sacrifice, live out their lives, and pray for salvation. But none ever came. Then, one day, a boat appeared on the horizon. The boat was piloted by a loan man, hooded and cloaked, his face shrouded in darkness. When the man asked the locals about their sacrifice, the people told the stranger about the location. They told him that anyone who dared oppose the creature would be eaten alive. But, the stranger paid their warnings no heed. He proceeded to the cliff top where the villagers made their sacrifice. A large crowd of the islanders stood at the edge of the forest, afraid for their lives. When the man reached the edge of the cliff, the great hulking monster burst from the sea before them.

"WHO DARES COME BEFORE ME," it roared, causing foam and spray to fly in every direction. It stared at the stranger. It bellowed again, "WHO ARE YOU?"

"A traveller, nothing more, nothing less. One who helps those in need from ones who would reign down destruction." The man pulled his cape and hood off. The man that stood there before them was tall, clad in gray and silver armor, a long red scarf wrapped around his neck, and wore an elegant sword at his waist. "I am the sword in the darkness. The shield in the storm. My will is neither good nor evil, and neither is my strength just or wrongful. But oppression cannot be tolerated in this world." He unsheathed his sword, which glowed with a dazzling blue radiance, and gave off the appearance of the purest ice. He spun it twice, as if testing its familiar weight. Then he settled, as if ready to do battle with the beast. The onlookers looked on in fear.

"IF YOU HAVE COME TO FIGHT, THEN I WILL DEVOUR YOU WHOLE," the creature roared. It dived forward, its jaw full of jagged teeth opening wide to swallow its supposed victim.

It was over in an instant. The man ducked low underneath the lunging beasts head, brought his sword up just at the throat, and as the beast continued to lunge forward, he split the huge sea serpent from neck to tail. Its body, now split in half, flopped across the rocky outcropping. It twitched for a second, then lay still. The islanders cheered at the slaying of their beast, and looked on to praise the hero for his marvelous deed. But he was no where to be found. The islanders never saw him again.

*I decided that i would add stories to any new skins that I create, and when I edit the older ones in the near future, I will add short stories to them. Also, this is my personal skin of use, so I hope you all enjoy!
