## History

Before Gizzy's Arrival

When a demon threatens to destroy the land, King Alpha and his bravest knights travel to location of the Demon's planned rising, Dawn's Opening. A hugh battle takes place, where the king is seen fighting with the sword against the Demon at Dawn's Opening. During the fight, while Alpha is slashing the infernal creature with his blade, the sword becomes tainted with blood of the Demon, making it the only weapon able to kill it. Unforutantely, King Alpha sacrifices himself to save Witch and is slain by the beast. Once the king dies, his powers split into four elements and are each given out to his knights. With their new powers, king's knights manages to defeat the Demon by imprisoning it within the Prophecy. ("Origin", "The Spirit World")

After the battle, King Alpha's body, along with his sword, is buried at the Jungle of Hope. At some point, Shadow, a strength absorbing power born ghost, breaks into the king's tomb to steal his sword. The ghost later takes the sword to his home, the Abandoned Mansion, where he frames it on the wall. ("Five Nights at Freddy's", "Fight Your Demons")

Volume Three

Days after being resurrected, King Alpha starts to look for his missing sword. His search leads him to the Abandoned Mansion. He enters the residence only to be taunted by Shadow's voice. The two eventually come eye to eye and the ghost shows him into the other room, where he reveals Ratchet dying in a small cage. Learning from the prisoner that he had his strength absorbed, Ratchet blames Alpha for his current status, since he and Voice left him in the forest alone following their broken deal and was later kidnapped by Shadow. Riddled with guilt, the king makes a deal with Shadow, so that he can keep the sword, but only if he frees Ratchet. The ghost agrees, but Alpha has change of mind and starts telling a story to him. Alpha uses the story as a distraction while he edges closer to the sword framed on the wall and manages to take it. With the blade, King Alpha impales Shadow and kills him. Alpha frees the former Earth Guardian and takes him to Letvia for knowledge on Voice's location who's able to heal Ratchet. With the Pendant of Love, the two set off to find Voice at the Broken Church. ("Haunted House")

Returning to Jen's House looking for his wife, King Alpha decides to store his sword at her house, thinking it would be safer there. ("Yandere Crypt")

Sometime later, Jen returns to her house where she finds the King Sword lying around and decides to hold on to it. Suddenly, an intruder enters the home, searching for something of great importance. Thinking it's one of the men who previously tried to hurt her, Jen arms herself with the sword and confronts the intruder, threatening to harm him if he doesn't leave. The man, claiming to be the Chosen One in need of the King Sword to slay the Demon, tries to reason with the woman, but Jen remains in disbelief. Knowing disbelief, the trespasser tells her a story of another man named Brayden who was the only one he could trust in the universe, but unfortunately, Brayden died while trying to protect him. Upon hearing the name, Jen reveals that Brayden is her son and is also the secret prince of Altered. Believing his story, Jen lays down the weapon, and mourns for the death of her son. After shifting her grief into revenge, Jen decides to accompany the intruder to the Prophecy so that she may spectate the Demon's death after all the pain the beast has done to her. The man, later revealing his name to be Gizzy, tries to stop the king's wife from joining him, but seeing her as a valuable asset, Gizzy finally gives in and the two set off to kill the Demon with the King Sword. ("Friends with the Enemy")

Jen finally arrives at the Prophecy in Dawn's Opening with Gizzy and chats with the Demon from behind the gate. The Demon reveals that their friend, Divine, had fallen into a spider nest and is trapped. Jen takes action and heads to rescue Divine while Gizzy stays with the Demon. Entering the spider cave, Jen is welcome by the Spider Queen, who has Divine held captive in cobwebs. Undaunted, Jen uses the sword to petrify the spider children and makes the queen relinquish Divine to her. Later, Gizzy is forcibly pushed by Inferno into the Prophecy, causing it to open and release the Demon. With the Demon coming, Jen hands over the King Sword to Gizzy as the final battle between Gizzy and the Demon commences. ("Demon Slayer")
