Aliyr Şmiçra (Stetsed)

## I. Early Life:

Our story today starts in Ukialta, in the city of Israka the capital of Ukialta. This is where Aliyr was born, the son of the Assasins Guild Leader and an Assasin. His father was the Leader of the Assasins Guild in Ukialta and as such never gave his son much attention, this made him dislike his father as whenever he wanted to play with him his father would send him away as he was usually handeling businnes.

But his mother, Aliyr loved his mother who was always there for him. When he had problems he could go to her, when he needed help he could go to her whenever he wanted to play he could go to her. His mother was always home as she had decided to stop her job when he was born to care for him. And she cared for him as he grew up.

His father started training him to be an assasin and to later join the guild, as his father had been with his father. His mother didn’t want this training as she wanted him to grow up normally and not grow into being an assasin, but his father didn’t listen and continued training him. He became a very powerful assasin, but his mother against the fathers wishes also decided to teach him culture and try to put him off becoming a full blown cold-hearted assasin like his father.

## II. Death of Mother

While growing up Aliyr had become a soft-spoken and kind man, who tried to never harm those who hadn't harmed him. His mother was happy that she had been able to put him off this path and continued teaching him about culture and the world.

But one day, one faithful day in the winter this would all change. When he was walking towards his Parents room he heard them fighting, he peaked through the door and saw that his father was beating his mother and he was screaming that she was wrong to raise our son in the way she did and he will become an assasin. After a barrage of more beating it became very quiet and he realised his mother had died, her eyeballs rolled into there cases, she was completley still.

He immediatley walked to his room and started grieving his mother, but this event would change it all. That love which his mother had tried to build in him which had kept him on the right path was locked away. All that love was put into a cage in his heart and locked with the key thrown away. He became num and completley cold-hearted. He lost his emotions in that moment.

## III. After his mother's death

After his mother had died he became num and his father noticed the change but was thrilled. Aliyr finally became the assasin that he had always wanted him to be. He started training his son harder and harder and Aliyr became more powerful than any assasin in the guild at that time and he kept becoming more powerful the more he trained and he started taking on multiple assasins at a time during his training becoming even more powerful.

Once he was old enough he started doing the hardest hits the Guild had, and he did them with ease. He made the guild more powerful then it ever had been because of the simple fact that he could do the impossible tasks which had been attempted so many times before but he did them with ease.

## IV. The Turn

On a cold winter day Aliyr was practicing his sword skills in his room, the fire was crackling and he was slowly warming up from the cold outside. He lost his grip on his sword and it sliced into a wall, he swore to himself but then saw something through the sliver in the wall he had created. It was a small box, he took off the wooden board from the wall and examined it. It was a wooden box with a small latch on the front. He had never seen it before and clearly it had been there a while as it was completley covered in dust. He went to his desk and opended it.

Once he opened it he didn't know what it was, then when he removed all the dust he saw it was a painting of his mother and a message from his mother. His mother said that no matter what happens, that he should continu loving like he did and not fall into coldness like his father. And at that very moment when he read that line, something awoke with him. He became completley warm and that love which had been locked away so long ago flushed thru his body and it was like he awoke from a very long sleep.

From that moment he had regained that soft-spoken and kind mannerism that he had lost and became himself again, himself which his mother had taught him.

## V. Death of Father

The next day his father came to him and asked him to do a hit on somebody who was not complying with the guild. But Aliyr said no, he would not kill people that had not been part of the guild or broken there rules. They had not been marked with a contract either because his father would not pay for the contract.

His father flew into a rage and screamed at him that he will kill him if he doesn't do the hit and that he killed his mother because he was so soft, when Aliyr didn't respond his father flew into a rage more fierce then he had ever seen. He took his sword from his back and tried to hit Aliyr, but he blocked. He tried again and he deflected it with ease. Aliyr told his father to leave and never return, his father told him that how dare he speak to him like that. His father then attacked again.

The Father of Aliyr, the Leader of the Assasination Guild who had killed so many. Got killed by his own son, who killed him with the same sword that he had sent him to kill so many with killed 1 more soul the one who had ordered all the killings before.

## VI. Post Father Death

After the death of his father the guild moved on, like the father had done with the mother. Aliyr was declared the leader of the Guild and he declared a rule which would change the guild, 'Only those who have been marked by a contract or have broken the rules of the guild may be killed by the guild" changing the guild from killing anybody they wanted to.

Some of the guild members did not like this change as they had power over people with the threat of death, so they tried to rebel during a meeting. They all jumped up and tried to swing at Aliyr, but Aliyr was quick and the other guild members also sprung into action and they where all disarmed. He told them all to run, and never interfeer with the Guild again or he would execute them himself. Exiling them from the guild but sparing there lives which suprised alot of the participants there.

## VII. Death of King Of Kratia

One day he got a message from **Sir Okişlit Vatyanet(Kai)**. He was requested to be on the royal guard on a trip to Kratia with the new King of Ukialta **Cyrun Zyros(Zilo)**. He accepted and they went on there ocean journey to the city.

Once he had arrived in the city he followed the king to a meeting with the **King of Kratia(Skard),** once there he spotted the king, a beared man with strong armor. He greeted the arrivals and then spit at the feet of the King and then took out a sword and tried to murder the king. Aliyr without thinking had his training kick in and immediately he retaliated against the King.

Aliyr fought the king while the King of Ukialta and **Sir Okişlit** retreated and slayed the mad king. The Story that was later published was that the King fought a long and fierce battle which Aliyr ignored, but then the next section said he died an honorable death. Aliyr mumbeld to himself that how can you die honorably when you attack first but ignored it.

## VIII. Battle of Kratia

One day while sailing Aliyr accompanied by his friend Babrica where hit by a big storm which knocked them off there course and eventually arrived in a town which he did not know where he was.

Walking into the Town there where 2 men who threathend Aliyr to go away and that he was not welcome here, and they said if he did not leave he would be executed. Aliyr couldn't simply leave due to the storm going which could cause his small boat which he used to capsize so he decided to move location to see more clearly who these people where as they where right into the sun so he could not see anything about them. When he moved he saw 2 people in full armour. One, who seemed to be the commander was dressed like the knights of the old in full Iron armour which shined in the sun.

When he was about to speak he saw something shine, and it came closer. And he realised it was an arrow going for him, he told babrica to duck but he did not have the time and Babrica was hit by the arrow. Aliyr dragged him under a tree to shield him from the arrows and applied bandages to wound. At that moment he lost all sense of reason and decided that he shall punish these people with death.

The 2 men where shooting arrows at him forcing him to duck and hide behind trees and cover, he was able to get off some shots hitting them but not being able to pierce there armour. Then with the morning sun rising he took 1 arrow and shot it with all the might and anger he could muster and launched it at the man in bronze. And he saw him fall and at that moment he rushed in with his sword to attack the second man.

The man swung at Aliyr with all his might and while he tried to dodge he was not able to get clear and the axe broke his arm thru his armour. But with 1 final swing he shattered through the helmet of the man and killed him. While being able to only stay conscious with all his strength he saw Babrica approach and asked where they are going, and he said that they are going home.

## IX. Battle of Israka

War is coming, that is what flashed through Aliyr’s head when he saw the armada arrive. A ship of massive proporitions and enough men to trample the ground flat comprising of the armys of Kratia, Deva Victrix, Eudaimonia, Thyconium and 1 bandit. Aliry was ready to defend his home, the place where he grew up and the place where he lived. Soon they started to approach the walls, the defenders of ukialta, **Zyros(Zilo)** and himself prepared for a battle where they where outnumbered in numbers but superior in skill. They started launching arrows at the attackers and inflicted major damage, while they where marching to the walls they suffered heavy casualties.

But then something happened which changed the tide of the battle, in the North the attackers had found a weak spot and they started streaming into the weakness. And they immediatley started getting overwhelmed and Aliyr wanting to continu fighting but very damaged decided that he had to leave after he saw Zyros die, and he started sailing to the Shogunate where he had met before and agreed with the Honorable Shogun that he would be allowed to retreat there if wanted.

## X. Retirement to Hinasho

It was a cold winter morning when somebody who Aliyr didn't recognize came to the Shogunate. He was immediatley on edge as he had never seen him and it basically never happened that they got visitors due to there isolated position. He said to the man "What do you want", to which he responded that he wanted... Aliyr. Aliyr was immediatley getting ready to fight but the stranger said that he wasn't here to kill him, he was here to help him. Aliyr asked him to follow him and they headed to sit down next to the forest to discuss.

The stranger said that he was Tabi, the name Aliyr didn't immediatley recognize but it sounded familiar. Tabi continued and said that he is forming a new nation of sorts, where skilled people from all over the world can reside and work together with no political affiliation of any sort. The city of Hinasho. This sounded very nice but Aliyr asked Tabi what he wanted in return. Tabi said he didn't want anything, which intrigued him. So Tabi asked if Aliyr wanted to join his city and after thinking about it in silence for some time Aliyr had decided to join him.

He started following Tabi towards Hinasho which was a long travel, Hinasho was very isolated from the rest of the world in a well naturally defended area. And when he arrived he was pretty amazed at what he saw, a pretty sizeable town built to be defendable from an army of a thousand man. Tabi led him into the vault of Hinasho where he was amazed at all of the loot he had collected. He put his own stuff in the chests and for the first night in Hinasho slept in his bed.

Aliyr thought to himself that he had found it, the place where he would retire and grow old. He had seen alot in his life, mighty cities grow and those being destroyed by forces which made the earth tremble. But in the end he was just tired, tired of all the running tired of it all. So he decided to retire to hinasho for the rest of his days.

## XI. Retirement and eventual Sepuko

Aliyr enjoyed his retirment in Hinasho, he sometimes helped Tabi continu to build the town while other times he just relaxed and watched time slowly pass. He enjoyed Tabi's company, he was the first person besides his other friend Aurelius, that Aliyr could actually be friends with and enjoyed being friends with. Aliyr had the uptmost respect for Tabi and what he had built, it was clear that he was not only a very skilled warrior but a dedicated one aswell.

After some time in Hinasho, Tabi approached Aliyr and told him that he wanted to end it. Tabi wanted to end it all because no matter what he did his life didn't seem fulfilled so he told Aliyr that he was gonna burn down everything and take this own life. Aliyr saw his reasoning and decided that instead of going on the run again, instead of going back to that life. He would end it with Tabi, he had done enough in his life and didn't want to always continu running again. His time in Hinasho had been the best he had had in his life, no running no rush nothing everything was calm everything was peaceful.

When Tabi started to walk away Aliyr said one sentence, "I shall join you". Tabi turned around with a suprise on her face, but nodded and continued walking. After this Aliyr helped Tabi burn down Hinasho, everything was covered in lava and everything was burning. Tabi said to Aliyr that it was time, so Aliyr took of his armour for the last time and through it into the Lava. The armour which had been forged so long ago was now melting to become nothing more than a memory.

Aliyr followed Tabi to the field outside of the great city walls, where Tabi, Aliyr and his Loyal Guards all took out there sword. After Tabi said his final word all of the men stabbed themselves through the heart and fell to the ground. All those men, who could have taken out an army which would tremble the ground, layed on the ground staring at the night sky which was clear as any other all layed there dead. In his final second one sentence flashed through his head, I will see you soon mother. And then his final breath it became dark.
