The Dark Celebration is the name given to the celebration of the birth of Onyx, the second son of the king Horwanna II. It is a moment in history when the whole of Middleworld was turned upside down thanks to one person... a person called Two.

  "HAHAH. I am very... yes, VERY sorry, but I have decided to invite a few of my friends to the celebration!!!!" - Shouted Two as he stood on the table where the rulers of various kingdoms had been feasting just a moment ago. Several purple portals appeared behind Two, from which many of Two's friends began to emerge.

  The party guests tried to stop Two, but before they had a chance, one of Two's friends created a bubble around Two, Horwann, and the leader of Horwann's army.

  "Oh dear, I was honestly hoping that you and I would have a date, Horwann. But unfortunately, you stood too close to the Mr. One ear. Oh well! I think it would be rude not to introduce my friends. The one who just enclosed us in a bubble is named Forty. If you've already put two and two together, you've realized that we're named after numbers! Oh yeah and her's power is bubble creation...strong enough to hold all introdors out."

  The leader of Horwann's army stood in front of Horwann. He looked around, and saw members of Two's group attacking all the guests at the celebration. From what the leader saw, there appeared to be about a hundred of them.

  "Well, well. I'm amazed at how you protect your king! But don't worry, I don't plan to hurt him if he voluntarily hands over the black Crystal! Wait! You're supposed to have the Black Crystal, right?" - Two thought hard about whether the information he had was correct. Two thought that Horwann was the ruler of the kingdom of the black Crystal, so he was very surprised when he saw that Horwann did not have the sword with the black Crystal in it by his side.

  "Oh, yes. I should have the black Crystal." "Your Highness! Don't tell him anything!" - The army leader stopped Horwann when Horwann wanted to share some interesting information with Two.

  "Hmmm, interesting. You two have a nice little secret between you! Honestly, it's a bit disappointing that you don't have the sword that holds the black Crystal with you, because I was hoping for an interesting fight. But anyway, I'll beat the information out of you about where that sword is!"

  Two ran towards Horwann. Meanwhile, a few guards who weren't currently fighting the uninvited guests tried to get through the bubble created by Forty...however unsucesfully.

  The leader of Horwann's army, who stood in front of Horwann to protect him, watched the horrific scene unfolding outside the bubble. The guests at the celebration were being murdered by members of Two's group. The guests tried to defend themselves, but each member of the group had a different special ability that gave Two's group a great advantage... no one had ever seen anything like this before.

  The leader managed to pull himself together when Two tried to cut off his head to get to Horwann. In a split second, the leader drew his sword and blocked Two's attack.

  Two's sword and the army leader's sword clashed. The two had very different expressions on their faces. The leader's face showed that he had to win this battle, because if he didn't, Horwann... no... everyone would be in even greater danger than they were now... the leader knew he had to defeat Two here and now. On the other hand, Two had a big smile on his face... Two took it all as fun. While the swords of the two men clashed, Two took the opportunity to strike up a little conversation.

  "WOWWW, I really didn't expect that! You blocked my strike so quickly... that only happened to me a few times! I would ask you your name so I could remember you, but on the other hand, I don't like to remember the people whose lives I've ended... it gives me goosebumps!!"

  "Funny. I’m not in the habit of giving my name to corpses anyways! But I wonder where that ''I come in peace!'' went?

  "Oh yes, peace! I came in peace, but you all showed me that there's no point in forcing you to do anything if you don't believe me. And that's why it's time for me to start plan B... to kill everyone who stands in my way!"

  Two jumped a few steps back from the leader's sword and then ran towards him again with a leap. The leader was expecting anything and everything and prepared his sword for defense... the leader was expecting anything and everything except for the possibility that Two lightly tapped the tip of his sword against the leader’s blade, using that contact to glide around him as if drawing a line through the air.

  The leader managed to turn around, assuming that when Two "jumped over" him, he would run straight to Horwann, who was standing about two steps behind the leader... but Two wanted to get the obstacles out of the playing field first.

  When the leader turned around, Two stabbed him in the shoulder with his sword. The leader wore heavy armor, so Two had to look for small gaps between the pieces of armor in order to hurt him.

  The leader knocked Two's sword out of his shoulder. The leader was amazed. What Two had just done was impossible. The leader is one of the best swordsmen in all of Middleworld... and Two had just stabbed him in the shoulder after easily circling him in the air thanks to the tip of his sword.

  "You're very lucky to have this shiny armor, otherwise I would have aimed for your heart!" - Horwann wanted to run up behind Two, but since he had no weapon and Two had just stabbed his best soldier... Horwann was paralyzed with fear.

  An interesting thing about every ruler of the Crystal kingdoms is that they are VERY good at fighting, because every ruler is prepared to inherit a legendary weapon with a Crystal from childhood. The one who owns the legendary weapon should be able to wield it well. Horwann is very good at fighting with a sword... but Horwann doesn't have a sword with him... after all, why would Horwann bring a sword to his son's birthday celebration?

  The army leader took a deep breath, realizing that Two should not be underestimated, and slowly began to approach him. He had to stop him here and now.

  The two began to fence. Two still had a big smile on his face, while the leader had an expression that said, "If I die here, it's over."

  After a moment, their blades met again, but this time Two had decided to end it all.

  "You are very skilled. Your experience with the sword... I am PROUD. I think I will remember you in the end. Unfortunately, I'm getting bored and I have work to finish!" Two opened his third eye. He dodged the leader again. Two left his body completely unprotected, offering himself up to the leader to be stabbed. The leader tried to take advantage of the opportunity.

  The leader swung his sword directly at Two... this blow will definitely hit!... Two placed his little finger directly in front of the leader's blade... did he let himself be stabbed in the little finger? No, he bent his little finger a tiny bit before the leader's sword hit and pressed it against the sword. This trick changed the trajectory of the sword to Two's feet, but before it could touch them, Two stabbed his sword into another opening in the leader's armor... into his knee.

  When Two stabbed his sword, the leader fell to the ground, and as the cherry on top, Two kicked him in the mouth just before he hit the ground. The leader lay on the ground. Two stood on him in an instant and put his sword near to his jaw.

  "Make ONE move and my sword will fly through your face! Don't be sad, though, fighting someone whose eye can see a second into the future isn't very easy! Anyway... Horwann, my friend! Tell me where your sword is, or your friend will really get it."

  Several scenarios ran through Horwann's mind about what he could do. He quickly realized that Two was definitely not joking, so tricks on Horwann's part were out of the question. In the end, Horwann decided to tell the truth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the leader tried to stop him.

  "Horwa-...ahhh" "SILENCE! What part of my order did you not understand, Mr. One Ear?" - Two stabbed a small piece of his sword into the leader's jaw. This act was not fatal to the leader's life, but one more small offense and Two would not let it slide again.

  "Enough! I'll tell you where my sword is. My son Horw has it. Horw is somewhere in the city. He didn't come to the celebration." - A few several ago, Horwann handed over the sword, which contained the black crystal, to Horw. Horwann would soon cease to be king of the kingdom... Horw would take his place, and so it was time for Horw to become the new holder of the sword.

  Horwann decided to tell the truth for one reason only: it was the only chance to save both Horw and the leader, because he hoped that it would take Two some time to find Horw, which would give Horwann a chance to find Horw first and protect him.

  "Well, well! That wasn't so hard, was it? I'll spare your little friend this time, but if he gets in my way ONE more time, I won't hesitate! See you around, Horwann!" A hole appeared in the bubble, and Two ran towards it.

  "Forty, come with me, let's have a chat with Horw!" - Two and Forty jumped into one of the purple portals, followed by another member of Two's group.

  Two was finally gone, but the disaster unfolding at the royal court continued. The rulers were using their Crystal weapons to defend themselves, the guests were falling dead to the ground, it was a disaster. Two had come for all the Crystals, and the members of his group were trying to get them.

  Will the rulers defend their Crystals, or will Two get what he came for?
