The Legend of Certavus

Welcome
Hello,
This Page will have all the updates to my new stroy The Legend of Certavus!
matanui,



The Legend of Certavus, Section 1: The Glatorian System
Cetavus was one of the founders of the Glatorian system, along with Tarix, Ackar and Vastus. Together they helped bring order to the world they called Bara Magna. He faced many challenges and once almost got killed by one of his fellow Glatorian, this Glatorian was banished because of the rules of the system. Certavus never went to far from Iconox, his village, because of the danger after the shattering. The Glatorian and Agori crossed the desert sands cautiously to avoid Vorox and other threats. After the shattering, both the Elemental Lords and Skrall went missing. Not that anyone was bothered by their absence, but Certavus knew they were still out their...

Certavus stood in the arena.
Today he was facing Malum. They were fighting over a very small oasis next to Iconox. A fire Tribe Agori found it and said it belongs to Vulcanus. But the Ice tribe says its in their territory so it belongs to Iconox.
"Ready to meet defeat Certavus?" Malum asked.
"One of us will meet defeat but it won't be me." Certavus replied.
Malum fired a Thornax at Certavus but Certavus dodged it and charged at Malum. Certavus struck his sword down but Malum blocked it with his Flame Claws. Malum backed away and fired another Thornax, this one didn't miss its target and Certavus fell to the Arena Flour.
Malum stode over Certavus ready to attack, but Certavus attacked first and fired a Thornax at Malum. Then Certavus got up and attacked Malum with his sword.
Malum couldn't take much more and said: "Stop! I concede."
Certavus thanked Malum for the Honorable fight and left the arena as a Champion.



The Legend of Certavus, Section 2: Discovery near Iconox
A Agori had just been through the scariest moment of his life.
He was walk through the mountains near Iconax, minding his own business. He was hoping to find something useful for trade, maybe a weapon or some form of food.
But what he found was not what he was looking for. He had seen a shape shifter. It looked brutal and unfriendly. It stared at the Agori as if it was scanning it for some thing then it moved on. Terrified he ran to the  Village leader.
Luckily for the Agori he wasn't carrying a weapon. For the creature he had seen was programmed to kill any thing that was armed...

Malum was leaving Iconox when he saw the Agori. Malum stopped and asked him what was wrong, not that Malum cared, he was just curios.
"I saw something in the mountains." The Agori said.
"What did you see." Malum asked impatiently, wishing he had never started the conversation.
"A shape shifter of some kind." The Agori said.
Malum believed he knew what the Agori had seen. Their had been rumours that near the end of the Core War, the Great Beings created a race of Warriors that were programmed to kill anything with a weapon.
"Let me handle this." Malum said bravely. "No-thing can escape my Flame Claws." Little did Malum know that he was about to make a big mistake, a really big mistake...



The Legend of Certavus, Section 3: The Missing Glatorian
Certavus had arrived to late, a Agori had told him that Malum went into the mountains to find a Shape shifter. Both Certavus and Malum knew what this thing was.
Malum was foolish to go alone, he knew it would be better to do it together. But no the Fire Glatorian did it alone.
With the decisions he makes I'm surprised he hasn't been a Skopio's dinner. Certavus thought.
Certavus knew why Malum was doing this. I'f he defeated the beast he would be treated like a hero and be given fortune.
But instead of a fortune he was given a pounding, a bad one by the looks of it. All Certavus could find was part of Malums armour.
This is not good. Thought Certavus.


Malum woke up in a huge amout of pain. One minute he was on his way to find a Shape Shifter. Next he was pounded by a warrior in red armour, in fact this warrior looked exactly like him.
"Imposter!" Malum muttered.
"Who?" asked a voice.
Malum turned to see Tarduk, a Agori from Tesara.
"What?" said Malum.
"Who's a imposter" Tarduk asked.
Mulum didn't reply. By the looks of things thing, Tarduk had patched Malum up well. "Thanks" Malum said.
"For what." Tarduk asked.
"Patching me up." Malum replied.
"Your welcome." Said Tarduk.


Certavus turned to see Malum running towards him. The Fire Glatorian was armed and ready to attack Certavus...



The Legend of Certavus, Section 4: A New Trick
Certavus blocked the Attack just in time. Then where the Fire Glatorian once stood a Warrior in black armor took its place.
SKRALL! The word echoed inside Certavus's head.
Of course this was not a Skrall but it was the Shape-shifter, and Certavus knew he could not win this fight... But maybe he could survive it. Certavus dropped his weapons and stood still. The Shape-shifter scanned him, it did not find any weapons so forgot about the fight and walked away.
That was easy. Thought Certavus.


Certavus found Malum and Tarduk,  and walked back to the Ice Village. It was quite along way but no-one complained.
Certavus was amazed at what he had saw and wanted to see more.
They were almost home when they saw a swarm of Shape-shifter's. Tarduk was terrified, Malum was angry but Certavus knew what to do.
"Drop your weapons." Certavus ordered.
"What?!?" Malum protested.
"Just do it." Certavus said.
"Fine" Malum said droping his weapons.
They walked through, Unarmed and came out without a scratch.
"Amazing." Tarduk said.
They returned to the village and awaited the next adventure Bara Magna would throw at them...



The Legend of Certavus, Section 5: Champion of Bara Magna
Cesrtavus beat Ackar. He was fighting in the Arena of Atero to be named 'Chapion of Bara Magna'. The only thing that stood  in the way of him and that title was Tarix.
If anyone could defeat Certavus, it was Tarix. Both Glatorian had won all their fights so far... but they couldn't both win this match.
"I wish you luck old friend." Tarix said, he was a honourable fighter.
"Thank you, Tarix." Certavus said. "We fight by a code of Honour, a code that we helped create."
"Indeed." Said Tarix. "But just because we are Friends, I wont make it any easier for you."
"Neither will I." Said Certavus, and with that the fight began...


Strakk, as usual, was sneaking around. He went into Certavus's cavern. He saw that Certavus had packed a lot of supplies.
"Look's like that Glatorians going on a journey." Strakk muttered.
"Looks like your sneaking around." Said a voice.
Malum pushed Strakk to the flour.
"How dare you!" Strakk exploded.
"How dare you sneak into Certavus's cavern!" Malum shot back. After Certavus saved Malum from the shape-shifters he had gained more respect for the Ice Glatorian, and he wasn't going to allow Strakk to sneak into someone else's cavern.
Strakk got back up but Malum pushed him down again. "Your not going anywhere until Certavus comes back." Malum said.


Certavus was winning... Just. He and Tarix had been fighting for ages now. They had traded countless blows and both seemed to keep getting back up to fight.
But Certavus had noticed something. Tarix was getting tired, but Ceravus was getting tired also. 
"I've just got to keep ahead of him." Certavus told himself.
Certavus couldn't go on much longer but neither could Tarix. Certavus attacked while he could and knocked Tarix to the ground.
The battle was over... Certavus had won...



The Legend of Certavus, Section 6: What to do with Strakk
Certavus and Tarix went into Certavus's cavern. They saw Strakk on the flour and Malum standing over him.
"What's happened?" Certavus asked but her felt he already knew the answer.
"Strakk's been sneaking around, I found him in here, I'll let you deicide the punishment." Malum said.
Certavus but on a bag full of supplies. "I'm going on a journey." He said. "Up north, Strakk you've already volunteered yourself to go."
"What!" Strakk said.
Certavus ignored Strakk and continued: "But I cannot speak for you. Malum?"
"I'm coming, I still owe you one." Malum answered.
"Good." Certavus said. "Tarix what about you."
"Up north? No-one's every gone up their and returned" Tarix said, then paused. "Fine, I'll come. Besides you don't think I'm going to let you have all the fun."
"Good, We leave in the morning." Certavus said.


It was a long night. Certavus was resting. Tarix was practising. Malum was packing the last of his suplies. And Strakk was deciding about who he hated more: Malum or Certavus.
It was quiet in Iconax, the Glatorian went their for shelter. The quiet was unusual, After the Tournament Agori, would be up a night talking about it.

Not very far away from the ice tribe, Someone was watching them. He was a Ice Warrior named Thaw.
He was scouting ahead to check for dangers that may threaten his squad. He had been watching Iconax for some time now, he was trying to see if they were hostile or friendly.
He amused they were friendly but he couldn't be sure. After a few minutes he went back to tell his Squad about what he had found. The Elemental Lord of Ice would know what to do about this...
