Kippo, The Empty Knight

Chapter One: A Sane Mind
Kippo, once a person who longed for peace and equality. A person who sought the protection of her family and friends. Laid cold on the ground clinging to life. Where sounds of blades rattling and clanking filled her ears. Her strength barely enough to keep her eyes open. She clung to life. Lnowing fare well that if she closed his eyes then she may not see the light of day ever again. She wished to not die this very day. To see her friends and family again. As she watched her allies and enemies slaughter one another as the dark began to swallow the battlefield.

Chapter Two: The Sprout of Madness
Kippo’s eyes twitched as light began to extinguish the dark. Kippo had watched her allies get slain in the dark. She watch as they crumbled to the ground in agony and pain. She felt as they looked directly into her soul and shot insults at her for being a coward. She was in deep shock at what she saw, cold lifeless bodies lying littered to the battlefield. She began to remember her family and friends were in the town. The town she was ordered to protect. The reason she fought in the first place to protect her family and friends. Nothing else was relevant in Kippo’s mind. Then a sudden cold lifeless hand gripped her arm. It was so cold that shivers ran down Kippo's spine. "Ki—pp-o is that you?" A familiar voice rang in Kippo’s ear. The next thing that occurred was water dripping down from Kippo’s eyes. The utter shock sent her to madness. Her dead allies came back to life to haunt her or something else. She stumbled to her feet and staggered towards the town, running from her allies lifeless dead bodies

Chapter Three: The Breaking Point of Madness
A thick trail of blood followed Kippo's footsteps heading towards the town. Kippos throat clogged with thick black smoke. The thought of a fire didn’t even spark in Kippo’s mind. The only thought was to see her family and friends. As she neared the burnt rubble of farmers houses and mangled bodies. Realization was hitting Kippo; her family and friends could be dead. This sparked a larger flame in Kippo, a drive to get to the town faster. As she grew every step closer so did the dead bodies of familiar faces and burnt buildings. Till she made it to the town where faint screams echoed and burning buildings stood. The screams sounded familiar but Kippo didnt recognize them. The screams made faint words "nooo!" "Please!" "Stop!" As she grew closer. When he was 5 houses down from her home he spotted men leaving her home turning to face her direction. She dashed into a house where the bodys of her neighbours lay, a child laid beside them murmuring the words “let this all be a dream. Please.” Kippo didn’t have time to waste on the child, she was dead set on saving her family and friends. The men passed yelling "find the man that did this." One man yelled “captain there must be at least 400 bodies.” Kippo didn’t know what they were talking about since that was the direction she came from, but she didn't care, sprinted to her home. She stood in the doorway looking at an oddly familiar woman laying in his home beside a butchered man. She sobbed and screamed at the sight of the butchered man. She turned to Kippo and yelled “my baby my baby ohh your alive” Kippo didn’t know her and pushed her away. Kippo asked “Where’s my family?” She replied, “Kippo sweetheart, I'm right here.” Kippo replied, “Who are you?” she stepped back in shock and said “I’m your mom Kippo.” Kippo was at the brink of madness, her mom suddenly laid cold on the ground. Kippo dropped to her knees, waterfalls rolled down her cheeks and she looked at her hands. Then Kippo started to laugh and she stood up laughing as tears rolled down her cheeks and left out the door. Kippo looked out the door the way she came and her foe's bodies laid there, spilling blood from every inch of their bodies. Kippo laughed so hard she came to her knees. Water still dripped down her cheeks harder than ever before as her laughter filled the streets. Kippo had lost a part of her humanity to the blood lust of killing and pillaging. She was at the brink of madness.

Chapter Four: Madness
Kippo awoke in a daze at a random back ally not burnt by the flames of his enemies. It was the crack of dawn the next morning. Kippo couldn’t remember anything prior to seeing her parents' lifeless bodies. Kippo picked herself off the dusty ground and peered over the corner of the alleyway entrance. Kippo saw the results of the pillaging. Charred rubble of buildings and dead bodies of town folk; almost no one was spared by the wrath. She walked out and stumbled around searching for something she herself didn’t know. Swooosh an arrow pierced Kippo’s shoulder blade and everything went dark. Cling clang slice aaarrrggg clank slice aaaarrgghh ting cling clank slice aaarrrggg. Then Kippo regained her mind, holding a severed head of an enemy and a bloody sword. Kippo screamed in terror at such a gruesome sight. She quickly dropped it and turned around to see a massacre of enemies. By the very sword she held. Kippo was in disbelief that she had killed all of them. She dropped to her knees and sat there in disbelief for a while. Till she realized the reason these events occurred was the madness she got after being shot with an arrow. She sobbed, questioning did she himself kill her parents? Did she kill and enjoy killing them? She picked herself up and began to leave the town. She crossed many things marked by Kippo’s enemies until she saw wooden spikes with men, women, and children nailed onto them. Then one spoke Kippo, "Kippo... is that you?" Kippo looked up into the sun and saw her younger brother face withering away on the spike. Then everything went dark.

Chapter Five: A New Beggining
Kippo woke up on a sandy shore dazed by what happend after seeing her brother's face. Kippo didn’t know if she was out for hours, days or weeks because of the madness from the face nailed to a wooden spike. She soon found a small town where the town elder said she was located on a continent called Rathnir, the town elder welcomed Kippo to stay in his town, Which he called Ai, and kippo welcomed the kind offer. Kippo remained in the small town for a good many years. She slowly made new friends and gained trust until he became the princess. Kippo’s madness still ensued. Even with a new life, her old life still showed. She could not leave her past behind her because Kippos' madness never faded. It’s just waiting to ignite from madnesses to bring upon pillaging and murder to those who come across her path.
