Symphony of Frost and Flame

Chapter 1: The Return

Octeber 10, a silent night in Konoha, well supposedly silent night if not for someone preparing something nasty for the village. In a forest, far west of Konoha, thirteen human bodies lay in a circle and a man with long silky black hair, pale skin and yellow slitted eyes doing a long series of hand seals in the center. These are modified summoning seals. An ancient pentagram with a length of six meters glows underneath his feet as he finishes the last seal. The pentagram started spinning in a slow rate then becoming faster and faster as the man infuse it with more chakra. Finally the ritual is done and the seemingly sacrificial bodies are engulf in flames, dark red flames. Then there is a bright flash of light. A few seconds later, the light recedes but only the pale skinned man remains and a giant is now in front of him.

One look at him and you'll immediately know the giant is a demon. He has fiery dark red eyes and a body covered with the same dark red fire. His hair is also in fire too and his hands are clawed. Huge black dragon-like wings grew at his back. He wears an armor to cover his torso, arms and legs. The armor has ancient runes or seals written all over it. A huge dark red sword is strapped at his back also with two runes written at the blade near the hilt.

This demon's name is Sargeras, lord and creator of the Burning Legion, a former warrior Titan, the greatest of them all. He was sealed by a human female when he first stepped into this world to claim the power of the Nordrassil/World Tree as his own. Now he is finally free. He looks down at the being that freed him and couldn't help but feel disgusted. A human who smells like a stinky snake. And to top it all off, the power he sense within him is far too weak compared to the Night Elves who were faced by his Burning Legion. Hmp, humans, they are all the same, all too weak. He now wonders how did he manage to free him? He must have sacrifices that he offered, a number of sacrifices to be exact.

"I can see that you're that one who freed me from my prison. What is your purpose?" asked Sargeras, his voice booming with power.

The man is now feeling really afraid after he sensed the demon's evil and powerful chakra. His power is far greater than he had imagined. 'So this is Sargeras, the greatest warrior Titan ever. He's far more powerful than I thought. It will surely become more troublesome to control him for sure. His mere presence make my body shake wildly with fear. Better be careful.' thought the man.

"Yes I am." came his answer arrogantly but also fearfully. "And my purpose is to destroy the nearest village east from this place with your help."

"Hmmm," Sargeras said while thinking. "I don't want to" finally came his reply.

"What? Why? I freed you so you owe something to me. Help me and that will be your way to pay for what I had done" the man complained but not without showing his fear.

"I can sense the power of the citizens living in the village you're talking about from here. They are all too weak. Destroying them will not even be an entertainment for me. I can't see any benefits that I might have. And I have something more important to accomplish" said the dark Titan as he walk away.

The man is now thinking a way to convince Sargeras. Then he shouts at his retreating form, "Wait! May I know what this 'something more important' is? I might be able to help you."

"Hmmm, you are weak. But I must admit your knowledge about this world may be useful. No, I don't need your help. I know what direction I must take. I can sense the chaotic power of the Maelstrom from here. It's far greater than the Well of Eternity and Nordrassil put together. The tree has the same signature as the well but it's far weaker. Taking its power will not be satisfying so I'll just take the Maelstrom's." Sargeras then continues his walk towards east.

The man then realized that the demon is heading towards Konoha. He becomes happy but curious so he shouts again at the demon.

"Wait, I thought that you are not going to destroy the village but why are you going to its direction?"

"This is the shortest way to my destination" came Sargeras' simple reply.

"If the people see you they'll attack you for sure. We humans are very wary and hostile towards your kind" said the man trying to show curiosity instead of his joy but failing to do so.

"If they attack me I'll simply kill them all. All who obscure my way will be eliminated. Why? You should be happy for I shall indirectly help you" again came his reply and he then continues on his venture.

"Yes demon. You shall indirectly help me. Now I can have my revenge. Sarutobi-sensei, you'll regret that you make 'him' your successor instead of me. I will have a lot of joy watching your precious village crumble. Ku ku ku ku ku!" the man's maniacal laugh echoed all throughout the forest.
