This is the story about me and my paladin zheyun, starting out on this tournament mission. Because i do not want to just post updates, i decided to write a story. This story is not the diablo2 lore, but a variant, which i made up. There are some truths in it, however.
Zheyun walked into the camp of the traveling strangers. A man in blue, identifying himself as "Warriv" started talking to him. He said the Prime Evils were back, but this time Baal, the lord of destruction, was called into the fight. Zheyun remembered an old story about the great 7, a party of courageous adventurers who went deep in the Chaos Sanctuary to defeat Diablo, the lord of terror.
The great 7 were:
Hinavka: The legendary amazon. Together with her legendary hydra bow, known among the common people as "Windforce" she was the parties spirit and hart. With her lovely smile and good humor, she fueled the partie, charging them up for hard battles.
Lojen: A necromancer. His curses and spells benifited everyone in their hard strugle against diablo. His wand, know as "Death's Web" held the enormous power of poison, corrupting every foul creature they encountered.
Elvira: The stealthy assasin. Armed with her deadly traps, she would use the power of lightning to purify the evils in this world
Skoog: The druid. He was once bitten by a wolf, which made him able to transform into a wolf to aid the party with his bloodlust and enormous physical strenght.
Eliza: The sorceress. Imbued with the element of cold, her frozen orb penetrates even the most powerfull enemies, chilling them and shatering them to pieces.
Zheyun: The legendary paladin. He mastered the holy arts of combat, allthough alot of people believe he was given his powers by God himself. His legendary Enigma armor granted him incredible strenght. His Blessed hammer would purge any undead immediately.
And last but not least, this party of heroes was led by Konan, the barbarian. Under his battle command and by listening to his Battle orders, the party could eliminate every threat thrown at them
Could this be a coincidence? Was zheyun named after the legendary paladin? A question who was soon to be answered.
Warriv asked zheyun to talk to akara. Akara asked zheyun to do her a favor and bring back light to the den of evil. Zheyn agreed and made his way to the den. Slaying every monster he sees. He entered the den, cleaned it out and returned to akara. She told him, "you are a holy paladin, Zheyun. Use your blood to cause great damage to enemies". Zheyun made a cut in his hand, and had his blood link with his weapon. Even thoug every hit drained his own life energy, zheyun could cause massive damage to his enemies.
Kashya asked zheyun to seek out the one called "blood raven" and eliminate her. She is to be found in the burial grounds, passed the cold plains. Zheyun made his way over there. But he noticed, he like pain. Yes he like pain, he loved it. Zheyuin learned the arts of using an enemies strenght against them. The prophecy describes this as:
"An eye for an eye is sometimes not enough. Those who would strike the emissaries of the Light had best take warning, for retribution shall be swift and certain. The might of your blows shall be felt a hundred fold unto you!"
Everywher he went, enemies striking him would take their own damage + extra, so they died when they touched zheyun. Only magic using characters and ranged monsters are able to bypass his thorn, so zheyun headed in with a blooded sword and hacked them down. As he arrived to the cementery, he went straight for blood raven, ignoring her minions as they would just be struck down by the force of their own attacks. Zheyun used his holy blood to quickly take down blood raven and he could return to kashya, and have dinner. Being allready 11AM, zheyun decided to rest for the night and continue his crusade tomorrow.
