Chapter 1The young warrior is on his way to Oaklore a fortress of knights were he wants to meet Capitan Rolith the ruler of the fortress and the trainer of his father who mentioned to Paul that he was not even near in reaching Rolith’s level of skill. Paul on the way to Oaklore fought a few packs of wolf he met on the way this packs were no match to his skill and he considered them a good training. In the young warriors opinion the wolves were poor opponents considering he just had to watch the jaw, and attack the moment he blocks their attack.
After 1 month of walking in dangerous forests close to the fortress he stopped to rest on a small cliff. After 20 minutes of relaxation the earth shake and he saw rising from below the cliff a full grown red dragon, in that moment his instincts kicked in he took his long sword and with his stance ready he prepared to fight even if he knew that his chances were very small but the dragon bowed and from his back a woman caring a box walked said hello and went further. Following her Paul saw a moglin that followed the strange woman a red moglin, after few minutes the woman was attacked by a gorilaphant a huge creature that is said to be a lot stronger than an average human. Seeing the two threaten Paul attacked the Gorilaphant together with the moglin, the fight was tough as the creature had much more strength then him but what the beast lacked was speed a thing Paul was superior in and by using his speed he got at the back of the creature and with one placed stab in the heart he killed her ant took her tusks to sell them at a market, after saving her the woman thanked Paul and disappeared.
Paul after 4 more hours of walking he saw Oaklore, an impressive fortress build around a big oak tree. There inside the fortress in the courtyard asked for directions to Capitan Rolith and one of the knights there pointed the young adventurer to him. The young warrior walks in the direction of Capitan Rolith and says “Hello Capitan Rolith sorry to bother you but I want to ask you if you could train me in the ways of the warrior”,Rolith said “Hello to you to young lad I am glad you want to learn the ways of the warrior but I only train those who prove to me that they are worth training” ,In response Paul asks “What can I do to prove myself” to which the Capitan says “You can begin by helping the other knight in the keep”.
Paul began to search for knight who needed help; he first asked the cook if he needed help, the cook told him that he had some problems with some wild boars that are destroying his vegetable garden, Paul went in the garden and began slaying the boars using fast hits with his long sword, one thing the young warrior noticed was the boars resistance which was superior than that of the wolves who in spite of similar speed and agility were killed with fewer sword hits then the boar who died with an almost double number of hits, but similar with the wolf the only way he could injure Paul was with his tusks which the young lad easily blocked and like the wolves the boars were eventually slayed. The cook gave Paul some gold and some jerky for his help, after that the young warrior went in the direction of sir Casm who is the knight in charge protecting the ruins of an ancient building close to Oaklore which is now invested with Vurrmans, the knight asked Paul to help with clearing the ruins of some of the vurrmans which the young lad accepted happily, the ruins were close to the keep and Paul reached there in about an hour there he saw a party of 3 vurrmans he got ready his long sword and attacked them in 3 fast slashes to their stomach the young warrior killed all 3 of them and continued further in the ruins, there he met more of the rat peoples and slayed more of them and after a hour of walking he reached a strange place full of elementals.
The young warrior heard of elementals from his mother, they are magical fire, earth, water, wind, energy, ice, light and darkness animated elements. That place was full of water, energy and wind elementals and thought that they were good opponents for him to hone his skills. He took his long sword and began slashing trough them killing them very easy most likely because they were lesser elementals they had no way to block the hit, going through all the of them he reached a place where he saw 3 larger energy, water and wind elementals that were guarding a chest. Paul wanted to see what was in that chest and attacked those larger elementals but at the beginning of the fight the young warrior underestimated them and received a hit from the energy elemental a hit that almost made him fail, but gathering his remaining strength he stood up and changed the tactic he will allow them to attack him he blocked and dodged the attacks that comes from them and hit when he saw a opening which lucky for him they had a lot and in 30 minutes of blocking and attacking when they were losing the momentum he managed to slay them all. After the fight he checked the chest and saw three weapons a sword a dagger and a staff that had electricity that were going in and out of them, he took them all but Paul chose the sword for combat instead of the long sword he had because the sword was more resistant and he could do more damage a thing he tested on his way out of the ruins against a band of Vurrmans who the young adventurer managed to kill using even less strength.
Back in Oaklore as a thank you for doing his job Sir Casm offered to teach Paul some footwork so he can attack without stop for about three hits so he does not offer a chance to his opponent to attack.
Capitan Rolith in the next 2 months had strength training with Paul he gave him a huge maul that weighted double his weight and he had to hit a training doll for 5 hours each day gave him a challenge to do more hits than the previous day a thing the young adventurer tried to respect.
After 2 months of training the keep was taken by assault by a small army of snevils, that are a goblin like race that like boxes a lot, they had taken headquarters of the keep, the knight’s quickly mobilizes after recovering from the initial assault and they pushed the snevils around the keep in the headquarters there the young warrior asked the knights to let him retake it, the knights agreed. After entering the headquarters Paul began fighting the goblin like creatures and noticed that they were of a challenge then what he fought until then with the exception of the practice matches he had with his father and some of the knights of the keep.Paul started slashing and stabbing the snevils who eve if they were decent enemies and had technique in their fighting they were were slower and weaker in strength then the adventure.
He reached the top of of the headquarter and killed every snevil he met on each of the 3 floors of the keep but some of the sneevils managed to get away with a box of weapons.
Paul followed them to a tree fort where he was forced to fight a small army of snevils and saw how ingenious they were, they began using the boxes as protection they attacked in groups and even managed to hurt the young warrior but he still managed to get at the top of the tree fort.The adventurer admitted that if any of them had his speed and strength he would have a real challenge, after getting there he met the king of the snevils who was as big as Paul that immediately started attacking,Paul managed to duck the first stab attack but was scratched by the second in the gut area through the armor, he had a armor of simple design made of metal which in most fights offered good protection but this opponent is strong enough to overcome it, of course the adventurer change the tactic and started blocking the huge snevils attacks with his sword and after seeing an opening he started his attack, he hit his opponent 3 times with the hilt of the sword and made him faint, the snevils that saw the battle immediately gave him the box they stole from the keep and dragged their leader to a safe place.
Sir Rolith thanked Paul for his bravery and told him ”You have the makings of a great warrior and I have a job for you I heard of a priestess of light that is followed by a group of bandits I want to ask you to go save her” , Paul listened to what the great knight said and went to save her, he met the priestess who carried the box cornered by 3 bandits, one of them asking for the box. Paul immediately jumped between the bandits and the priestess who he immediately recognized as the woman that he saved from the Gorilaphant, he started fighting the bandits and he immediately slayed 2 of the bandits but had difficulties with the third who fought quite well and had a scar on the face, but using his sir jing’s sword in a clash with the swords of the villan he pushed the bandit down as the young warrior had superior strength.
After subduing the bandit he saw a snevil take the box the woman was caring and running. After that distraction the bandit disappeare,the lady asked Paul, ”Please search for the box because there is your destiny, go in the city of Falconreach and talk with the moglin named Twily” .Hearing all that the adventurer went to Oaklore and told Rolith what happened and of his intention of searching for the box the lady had.Rolith understood and warned Paul of a hydra who blocks the bridge to the city, on his way to the city the young warrior was attacked by bandits who he easily slayed he was attacked by a huge bear who he managed to kill with difficulty almost being overwhelmed by it because of the bears strength which was superior to his but lucky by using his superior agility he ducked a hit from the bears paw and got right under the bears chest and stabbed him through it.
After the event with the bear Paul reached the bridge that was going to Falconreach but after reaching at the middle of the bridge a 3 headed hydra emerged Paul immediately prepared his sword and began blocking and ducking the creatures attacks, in this fight the young warrior had to give all he had to defeat her he used his strength by puting the sword between the mouth of the creature and pushing her and the bite attack of the creature back and using his speed to counterattack very fast, by using this tactic he managed to cut down the 2 smaller heads the hydra had. And for the last head the adventurer jumped with his sword forward and stabbed the creature through her lower jaw killing her, after that the hydra's head had fallen down covering the destruction the hydra made to the bridge.
Staying on the hydras head Paul thought that this is a powerful monster he killed and he is one step closer to surpassing Christian the hero that showed him how powerful someone can be.
