King's Fall: Rise of the Second Crown

"When the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew."- Hiruzen Sarutobi's last words. Even the greatest kings have to hand over their crowns someday, allowing future generations to take what they had to greater heights. Passing on the torch is something almost every family must go through, for children are the parents' greatest legacy. But to truly see if the heir is ready to carry the burden of King, the successor must pass surpass predecessor in a more ways than one.

The forest was ancient. The trees thick and old, roots that were twisted. It might once have been filled with bird-song and animals that roamed. But now it was ages past its former glory. Its canopy was so dense that one could only see the occasional streak of sunlight that rarely touched the forest floor. Yet despite the initial vibe, the day was beautiful. It was an early autumn morning and a frosty chill hung in the air. The sweet surrendering scent of the morning dew filled the forest with a scent that did not belong in any other nation. Autumn leaves from the tall trees lay scattered on the forest floor; each of them turning brittle brown. The dark shadows of the voluminous trees and the surrounding bushes had become the backbone of the forest, standing as passive protectors of a peaceful place. This enchanted island of Kyūdō is known as Tetsushinrin.

Only two stood in this vacant forest, two beings who were not of this land. These two are related by blood and kin, for they are both of Red-Haired decent and the eldest of the House of X siblings. What the future has in store may be unknown but they are both here for the same reason; to defeat the man who started it all, the man who is both famous and infamous, The Dark Slayer Raido X. Success would not only mean acknowledgement, but power, for if they are the victors, they will attain the divine power of their father. Defeat should not be an option but going against a man who has years of experience such him, it is a possibility.

"A duo, interesting. Not really my cup of tea, but it seems it can be avoided." the Red-Haired Mage thought, expelling the toxic fumes from his lunges. Not really knowing his half sister too well, this being the first time they've ever met, Shenron was skeptical about the entire situation. "It seems I made an error smoking this much before the battle. While they aren't going to interrupt, I'm not able to access my "mind palace", how unfortunate." Gazing his attention towards his sister,"Can I rely on you. I'm not used to battling with others, so if you are not able to keep up, try not to be a burden." he uttered, demonstrating his hubris personality.
