Who was that man who stood and United them who was he and how did he create the Iron Horseraiders?

Let's dive into the story of Zrokes, the first of the Iron Men!!!

Year 1 BA

(BA -year of the Black Assassin)

As the mountain lands were now getting filled with humans, who were reproducing and filling the forests, the Dark existence which was unknown, began to panic....

But they found a way of creating a new society of humans.....

As the struggle for existence continued, there was just one human, who wanted to use his mind and think, as the rest of the humans didn't want to do so......

...****************...

Month 4, Year 1 BA

There was a scuffle between a small family and a group of men,

The man and the women, had two children, a 13-year-old boy, and a 10-year-old girl.

In those Times there used to be no names.....

Three Men, who were in search of White Carnine Meat, came and barged into their cave, and the Man fought to defend his family, but the three men overpowered the Father and killed him.... and then raped the mother and the daughter.....

The boy, who was a little different, instead of fighting blindly, decided to run away and became the first human who decided to run away......

He ran, and he kept running,

Until he went deep into the rainforests of the mountains......

For the very first time, the boy discovered a small shrine, located at the foothills of a small hill.....

He went inside the shrine, and found a big black stone figure, right at the centre of the shrine.....

The figure was glowing with a black aura.....

The figure asked the boy, 'Are you ready to rule, young man?'

The Boy asked, ' Who are you?'

The figure replied, 'I am the supreme figure in these mountains! But I live hidden so that no one can learn about me, and I am the one who guided you to come here.'

'Why?'

'Because you, my boy, are special!'

'How am I special?'

'Because you know how to decide.'

'What should I do then?'

The figure pointed towards 9 fragmented stones which were kept far on the right side corner of the shrine,

'Bring them to me!'

The boy did as he was told,

And as soon as the figure touched the fragments the turned into humanoid figures,

creating another 9 figures.....

'I will name them, The Black Assassins. They will be the Best Warriors in this world and will aid you in battles, but they will not serve under you so remember that!'

'Serve under me?'

'Yes, you will become the leader of the these people whom you see, now, why don't you start by killing the murderers of your family?!'

'Yes, I want to kill those assholes......'

'Then go do it boy!'

The figure summoned one of the Black figures and said, 'You will lead the other 8 assassins till the end of this world, Your name will be Noire 1!'

The first Black Assassin bowed and replied

'As you command, My Lord!'

The Ultimate figure ordered, 'Go with the boy now and kill his family's murderers!'

Noire 1 Bowed!

The boy asked, 'Can I have a name, sir?'

The Ultimate Figure replied, ' Your name is Zrokes!'
