Chapter 1 - The tale of a hero
"Long ago, there was a hero who was born on a mountain. He trained for many years under the guidance of a strict master. Eventually he had trained enough to defeat The Dark Wizard. He went alone and fought the wizard in his castle. It was a long battle but in the end he defeated the wizard and banished him for eternity. That man, was King Reginald." The preacher said.
Bullshit", a man in the pub said in response to the preachers tale.
"There's no way one man could defeat The Dark Wizard. It's all a made up story", He continued. The preacher spoke up,
"Shut your damn mouth! How dare you disrespect our great king like that?!"
"What was that you little mouse?", the man said
The preacher had to stand his ground,
"I said, you're disrespecting the king, you bastard!", he said in a fury.
The man responded,
"Let's brawl then. That's a good way to settle this. Fist fight only, no spells."
The man knew he could take on the small and frail preacher.
Suddenly, the bartender shouted,
"IF YOU TWO ARE GOING TO FIGHT, TAKE IT OUTSIDE!"
In an instant, they both sprinted out, scared of the very burly bartender.
Time passed and it was soon morning. Reginald was in his throne room when suddenly a guard burst through the door shouting,
"MY LORD, WE HAVE WORD THE DARK WIZARD'S BACK!"
"Quiet. You might wake someone, now tell me what you know.", the king responded.
"Sir, there was a bunch of dark creatures, ones that surely aren't supposed to be in this realm, even with necromancy. They seemed like corrupted souls. They came from the Dark Wizard's castle and took out the outpost closest to it."
"Hm... I'm going to see an old friend at Dragon Mountain. Inform the guards."
"But sir, do you intend on going alone?"
"Yes. This friend of mine has made it very clear he doesn't want anyone he doesn't know near him."
"Alright sir, I won't question your judgement."
The king stepped out the keep into the streets of the kingdom...
