THE APOGIST RISES
The Apogist, believe it or not was once a normal boy walking on a normal street on a normal day on a normal time, but in a bad weather.
He breath the moist air as he walks down the beautiful pavements on the streets of vandartha, commonly known as 'the street on which misfortune walks', the heavy rain and cloudy weather beat vehemently on him as he walks slowly down the street.
He's not so tall and not too short he's neither fat nor short. His fingers were rough and rugged or not, he wears a medium size dark cloak on himself which had a hood on it, and a pair of scandals and a very tiny bag hanged on his back pocket.
A woman walked, not too far beside him on the pavement in quick steps dragging alongside a little girl who was in tears,but the apogist never looks much at anyone, so he pulls he's hood over his head and continues walking slowly.
On the apogist mind was always an obsession of not being the person he thought he always was, this unruly manner of thought always kept him going anytime he had a trouble on his mind.
He always smiled if he had any trouble, if he were crying he would still be smiling under the tears, because his grandmother with whom he lived with always made it very clear that he should never frown, unless he wants to suffer the punishment.
The punishment was simple, he would simply walk down the streets of vandartha on the road, instead of the pavement on which everyone else walked on, no body knew why but every one walks on the pavement except the people who rode on the carts and people with donkeys or horses on the dusty paths of the street,
And this was what he was currently doing, because he had frowned when his grandmother had mistakenly stepped on his tiny little bag which he always carried about.
This tiny little bag was his only possession he had from he's deceased parents, which he's grandma told him they had left for him with a message'open it only when the time is right' before they were rumoured to be dead, this little treasure he had, lead him to believe that they where just rumoured to be dead, but are still alive one way or the other somewhere above where his imagination couldn't deduce they were, so he held onto this treasure which he had never opened since he got it for fear of what may be within.
Sometimes when he strolled to the peak of vandartha, where the grave was on, which he's parents bodies were supposedly said to be buried, he was sometimes tempted to open the little treasure, sometimes he even went as far as opening the tiny zip halfway through the tiny bag but did not dare to look in.
The peak of vandartha was where mostly few old people dared to enter because it was rumoured to have been cursed after the great seven apogees had disappeared, he once heard two old men discussing about this on one special day so he sat on a tomb stone behind them and listened, the first man said.
"The Great Dark Apogee was a great dark Duke which was one Known by the people of vandartha to have started and ended the war of the dark Apogees in the dark ages where the seven Apogees ruled the seven domains in the kingdom of vandartha"
The other man said "Ausburn the first known to many as the red apogee, hardias the second know as the earth Apogee, Faltron the third; the Falcon Apogee, Golden the forth known as the Gold Apogee, coltus the fifth; the Cold Apogee, Darwin the sixth know as the arch Apogee and lastly Darkovan the seventh known as the Dark Apogee.
Ausburn the first known as the Red Apogee after succeeding his father as the heir of the throne in the Ausburn domain went against the great law of Vandartha and got married to Faltron the third,
which was said to have killed her father and her junior brother for trying to make her junior brother the heir of the domain instead of her as the elder, because she wasn't a male heir, after they got married the two domains succeeded in combining their resources to form one domain known as the Apog domain
meaning the combined power of two domains
as king and Queen,
And all these was forbidden by the great law of Vandartha, this whole event caused Darkovan the Dark Apogee to have resentment over both rulers of the Apog domain, on which he sets he's plot to form allies with coltus, Darwin, and the Hardias domains to wage war against the other three domains which were Ausburn and Faltron
the Apog domain
and Golden
because Golden refused to fight against the Apog domain because he once loved Faltron before she married Ausburn, so he was silent with the Apog domain.
The Dark Apogee seeing all that have happened knew his next course of action, he was known to all of Darkovan as the dark mastermind due to the famous free fire incident which too place on the borders of Darkovan and Hardias domains,the famous free fire insident was about four brothers, who were said to have fallen down to the earth in great dis-unity, there by fighting against each other for reasons best known to themselves and causing great distraught in the borders,
So Darkovan, head of the Darkovan's domains sent a message to the four brothers, saying "whichever of you as the last man who stands alive in the next Darkovan hour would be allowed to leave alive"
With this message delivered the four brothers came into agreement and splited into a two man duo mode to defeat the other group after the fight which didn't last very long, two of the brothers came out as the victors with one of them badly wounded, so the other of the victor shot him on his back, with that he became the only true Victor,
He was said to have ran into the highest mountain in all of Vandartha for his escape and then as he reached the top, he glided away with a glider, few villagers were said to have seen him glide high over their roofs, but after that he was never heard of or seen again.
As Darkovan listened to his most trusted male servant Julius, he could see that the servant had put on the memorial cloth meant to be worn in every hundred fortnight of the Vandartha year, in remembrance of him great-grandfather Damion Alehandro Portfolio who was the first Darkovan ruler.
"i see you are ready for the counsel sir, or shall make it be delayed a little longer" Julius said as he walked into Darkovan chambers, Darkovan gave him a meek smile and said "no Julius am ready and I would be with them shortly".
Darkovan walked gracefully into the wide counsel chambers, which he could see very clearly have been renovated for the new counsel season as a tradition in the domains that was setup by his great grandfather, he then sat down taking a sit at the center of the symposium.
