The Story of the New Guild.
And so starts the story of the New Guild...
Chapter 1: The Bloodline.
The Ancient Bloodline. The Bloodline of our main character, Blade.
You see, Physe is a decendent of Theresa, a gypsy seeress, who has endured the eternal curse of blindness, and The Hero of Oakvale, who slew Jack of Blades 525 years before our story takes place.
Now, off with the introductions, and on with the story.
Physe is a seemingly innocent 20 year old ruffian living in the quiet town of Oakfield, until one day, he is approached by a large, staggering character. The silihoutte looked familiar, but it was night, and, sitting intoxicated at the Sandgoose, his senses were severly impared.
"Hello."
The soft, calming voice came from the shadow, now sitting next to Blade at the bar.
"Who who... who is it?"
Physe now realized it was his king, Archon Sparrow.
Physe stumbled out of his chair, and bowed.
"It's your king, but I'm sure you already know that." Sparrow replied.
Sparrow continued, "I have an odd, but simple request."
"Wha...what is it?"
"Could you come to Bowerstone with me."
Blade couldn't deny, considering he didn't have any common sense when drunk.
"When are...when are we leaving?"
"As early as possible, if that would be okay."
"I just gotta ask my...my...those people who own my house. I'm sure they couldn't deny a...a...Hero."
Physe stumbled back to the farmhouse, woke up his slumbering parents, asked if I he could with the Hero, and left late the next morning.
______________________________________________________
Physe woke up, no longer tipsy, to a large, muscular arm on his chest.
"Wake up Physe, it's time to leave. I've already packed you bags."
"Alright, Your Highness."
The graying hairs on the Hero's head suprised him. He imagined the Archon but 30 or 40 years old. Oakfield was still buzzing about the "graceful sacrifice" and "new, better government" but Physe knew the Archon had endured so much pain in the Black Spire.
Physe knew the Spire only as an unreachable target in the horizon. He always heard from his parents of the story of "Sparrow's escape from the Spire with the Hero of Will, after 10 years"
They enter the carriage, and started riding towards Bowerstone.
"Why are you taking me to Bowerstone?" Physe inquired.
"Little do you know, you are a Hero, a special one at that."
"What?'
"You decend from a ancient bloodline. The Bloodline of my mentor, Theresa, and the Bloodline of the original Archons of Old."
Sparrow continued.
"You are the rightful heir to the New Throne."
"Well, you will be symbolic ruler, but will have no power in the government I estabished. You will be declaring war, and thats about it, except one thing..."
"What?"
"You will live in Castle Fairfax."
It it him like a hammer to the face. Or maybe that was just the hangover...
