Family History
History: Guardians of the Vermillion Kingdom; it is governed by the Ysgarlad family, watched and protected by their Vermilion King––Dimidius Basileus Ysgarlad; although, it must be addressed that he is no king, no prince, nor a duke of any sorts or emperor even, but rather a former, yet still to others current, warlord. A man who once fought for power only to be graced with the meaning that there is more to life then power rather than ruling the weak and striking fear into the hearts of everyone whom dared to cross his path. Learning that protection, love, and uplifting the weak were far better representations of what life was truly meant to be.
The Vermillion Kingdom was founded by the four siblings great-great-great-great-grandfather, Arlington Ysgarlad whom passed on, from child to child, with the power and meaning of an Ysgarlad. The Vermillion Kingdom can be found within the southeast region of Alakitasia, Earth Land; far from the empire of Alvarez.
The current head of the family, the Vermilion King, came to be identified as a warlord due to his immense magical prowess; striking fear into those who dare set a single step past the magical boundary field that he has crafted within his Absolute Domain. This boundary field is a magical item that was crafted by non-other than his crafty scientist, Katherine Amelianda Physici. A woman whom had, in secrecy, (but unbeknownst to her that he knew), stolen his bloodline to create an artificial vessel (will be explained more in her section).
It was only but a few years ago that the Vermillion King brought together all of those whom were allies of the Ysgarlad family, be it adopted, apart of the bloodline, married in, etc. Everyone the former warlord thought to be of an ally had been brought together.
It wasn't until upon that dreaded day, Dimidius had been married to the love of his life––her name? Serenity. The woman who changed the ways of the Ysgarlad family, the woman who, during their time together, introduced him to what it meant to truly love and bring forth the desire to wanting to protect something.
Sharing their love upon that day, there also lingered darkness in the backgrounds. Ming-Hua Chen, a woman who bared his first child, had not been there upon that day of celebration––but it was the day he would introduce his eldest daughter that he, himself, had not even learned about until she one day just showed upon his doorstep with a letter from Ming-Hua. This child was his and she had already looked to be almost a preteen just entering her years as a teenager. To where he believed his eldest, second child was the oldest. It would seem his second child was not.
In the midst of the night as all were merry and cheerful, the Vermillion King thought it to be entertaining he would see as to what his eldest daughter and his second eldest child, being his only son, were capable of. This had come to spark interest in Sicri, for this child was the infamous daughter of Ming-Hua Chen. Meaning she must have had physical prowess that far exceeded possibly her child's. But since both she and her son were both almost near the same age, Sicri was confident her son would topple the young maiden with his own physical skills. After all, she is the one who began his training at an early age.
And there they were. With just one clap he would initiate his ability, Absolute Territory. Setting up a boundary to keep outsiders from entering the light scuffle. In the midst of battle both children showed a value of hand-to-hand combat; watching while the other two children would eye the match between their siblings.
The first child, being the eldest, showed an assortment of different Chinese fighting styles; some that not even the Vermillion King had heard of. But he knew that it had to have been her mother, she knew that he would cause the two to fight; she knew her one night stand better than anyone else. She was the only woman who could ever cause the man to intake a fresh breath of fear within her former lover.
The first child, although here for only a short amount of time, had already earned his love just like that. But as for the second sibling? He held his own extremely well even though she dabbled in quite a bit of martial arts, and he surely did not disappoint his watching father. The two held a variety of potential for if they were skilled fighters physically, then they had the chance to become great mages even with or without magic.
With but a simple clap the fight was done. The field was down, and the two were practically worn out. Watching as the two youngest siblings would come to see if their older brother were okay, they would escort him elsewhere to get him all patched up. Eventually, after an hour, Rosemary's mother would come to introduce the siblings to their new, and eldest, sibling of the Ysgarlad family. Welcoming her with open arms.
During the rest of that night all went smoothly and the party of gathering allies would come to an end. For a year all went well for the newcomer of the family, but Serenity felt an uneasiness by the girls mere appearance. Something wasn't right; she knew little about this girl, but yet held so much love for her regardless and treated her as if she were her own. And upon the night of December all would come to be revealed just as to why she was here.
The young girl would cross paths, during Serenity's nightly walk to watch the moonlit within their family garden behind their large estate. She would come to meet Ming-Hua's daughter within the garden of scarlet colored roses. As the two stood apart from one another, Serenity began to explain to the young maiden that she was happy to have her here. Happy that she got to become apart of not just a family that only just began to build their love for one another, but that she was here to be apart of that building.
"Thank you for existing; without you I don't believe our family could get any bigger! I'm glad...I'm glad that you're my daughter!"
But she wasn't. And although that may have been true, she just didn't have the love she wanted to return toward Serenity. A woman who so kind, so compassionate and considered someone, who wasn't even her own by blood, to be a daughter. It was a shame that she would have to extract the Etherious Demon she so happened to possess; as well as snatch away her book.
As the first sibling readied her fighting stance, Serenity had already foresaw something of this nature coming. Ming-Hua had been a woman of villainy, and she knew that some of Ming-Hua's traits would have to have rubbed off upon the girl. Therefore, this match would both be easy yet hard for Serenity.
Once the fight started it would seem as though the girl very much so did not hold back against Serenity, and where she cornered Serenity with ease she would come to find that her blows were futile. Although the first sibling landed successful blows, Serenity possessed a durability as well as regeneration capabilities. Something she wasn't forewarned about.
But as Rosemary entered the scene sometime after, her mother would be struck directly in the stomach with a strange extraction item that would come to rip out Serenity's devil from her own stomach, snatching away her mother's primary magic whereas her secondary remained intact. Unheard of someone ever being able to extract a Devil Slayer's "demon," it would cause Rosemary to scream in terror as she saw her mother come to harm.
And the second her scream was heard, a bright light would flourish about the entire Vermillion Garden; setting ablaze toward the skies a purification ritual of white flames that would come to disperse in a quick flash.
Upon that night, that was the night Serenity would enter a never awakening coma; whereas her daughter, Rosemary, remained unconscious for at least a month. And just where did the eldest sibling go?
No one knows of her whereabouts.
After that tragic day occurred, the siblings were split apart. And the only person left within the Ysgarlad estate was Rosemary and her mother. Ever since that day, the Vermillion King's heart had become scarce. His love for his children remaining, but his heart toward the outside world; anyone who wasn't a citizen of the Vermillion Kingdom were nothing more than enemies. Believing that he could only trust those of the Ysgarlad clan.
