"In the time of havt and hath, after the long battle of despair, an Ancient race flourished, leading themselves to madness itself, to begin a war, against the Mighty knights, you are one of them, an ancient human, that lost the purpose of living and even remembering thyself..."

You wake up besides a statue, you don't recognize who in the statue is.

You find beside you, a letter, it says.

"Whatever thou art, this island is doomed, the war's door has opened, whatever thou art, flee, before you meet a vile death."

"The Land of Golden hast lost it king long ago, and now it's shattering, whatever thou art, stay away form the Doom."

You really don't understand what is the meaning behind the letter.

You walked to the door infront of you, you see a longsword, it's rusty and old, but you can still use it, although you don't know how to fight, you feel a hideous pain in your arm.

You take the longsword, and open the door, you see an open field, silent, almost like a Cemetery, you continue walking towards it.

You see someone, a knight, with a golden armour, shining in the middle of the field, holding a Greatsword of great length, and a shield with a face on it, looking at the other direction.

You walk towards him, he hears you, and turns at you.

"Hm?, Thou art look like a Valueless assassin, wherefore thou art even here?"

You don't know what he mean by this.

He laughs, and replied to his own question

"Huh, thou art just a vile Cavum, As the knight of king Flavius, I'll killeth thee, and grant thee an honorable death."

You hear new names, you really don't know what he is saying, Cavum?, Flavius?

He attacks you with his sword.

You get damaged unfortunately, you try to fight for yourself.

He attack you, unleashing a thrust, you try to dodge it, but no luck, you got stabed in your kidney.

You fall apart, you see the knight walk the other way, then you fall at the ground, In a state of fainting.

Chapter 1.1: Pictor and Scriptor.

You wake up inside a small house, with a little girl besides you.

"Oh, thou havt woke up already, welcome, maketh thyself at home."

You stand up, looking at the little girl, she says:

"Oh, Forgive me for not introducing myself to thee, I'm Pictor."

You are curious why she did help you, you asked her why, she didn't want to answer at first, you asked her again, she looks hesitated, but your curiosity is flaming inside your soul.

She answers your question, in an Angelic, yet Wobby tone.

"I did see something when I did look at thine eyes, a blazing fire, perchance you are the one..."

"Forget about it."

You ask what land we are in, Pictor tilts her head, her tone not changing, she breaths, a deep breath.

"Hm?, The Frozen peak of Gaints."

"Oh, I did forget to tell thee, I hath brought thy longsword too, and did repair it for thee."

You take the longsword, seeing how good it is now, you don't know how to use it, though.

You tell Pictor that you don't know about using weapons properly

Her eyes lits, her tone is more beautiful in your ears.

"Oh, Worry not, I know who can help thee, there is a woman outside the house, ask her, Chosen one."

You are thinking about why she called you a "Chosen one", you thought it was a compliment.

You get outside and see a somehow japanese-looking woman, wearing a red dress, an Angular body and a mask white mask on her face, with red colours surrounding the middle.

"Thou art the one who Pictor and Scriptor brought, hm?, I'm here to help thee improve thy sword skills."

Your curiosity rising again, who is "Scriptor"?, but you didn't thought of it because how weird the woman was to you, You tell her who she is.

"Oh, I'm a Geisha named Chiyo, a Miku-Geisha, from another land."

You look at her, she stares back at you, after a long silence, she decides to break it with a question.

"Thou art here to train?"

"...Shall we begin our class?"

You nod, then you enter a fight with her.

Her weapon is a katana, her stance is as strange as her look, you step back and ready yourself.

"Let me see how thou wilt react to my attacks."

You nod.

She attacks from above with her sword, you hold the point of your sword and the grib, to block the attack, then attack with the same holdings.

She gets back, you focus on her footwork, she walks to your side, you walk to the other direction, you try to attack her, she blocked it, she take a step towards you, then attack your throat at the same time.

Her sword didn't touch your throat.

"Thou shall focus more." She says.

You get back, you are trying to read her, but her moves seems weird to you, almost like dancing on the pure water of the rivers.

You decide to focus on her footwork more, she attacks you with an upward slash, you get back, then launch at her to stab her.

Your sword reached to her face, she looked at it, you can see her smiling through the mask.

"Thou art skilled at fighting, I'm amused, Dear chosen one."

She gets back and sheaths her sword

"Good, now our lessons are complete, you can go now.", She confirmed.

You nod and go.

your mind was refreshed, remembering the fighting techniques you've learned long ago.

Your starting to remember something from your past, but it was too little, you move on.

Chapter 1.2: The capital of Lawrence.

Pictor said "Thou, should go, to explore the land, and do what shouldst the King of the Land did long ago..."

You didn't ask about what she means, she looked down.

The small house of Pictor lies in a crossroad of four different places to go.

First is "The capital of Lawrence."

Second is "Cavum Hamlet".

Third is "Boreas Civitas".

Fourth is "lacuses regis".

You decided to go towards the Capital of Lawrence.

You meet a poet, he tells you.

"One hadst the shall of a king, the other hadst the mind of a daw."

"The king hath lost and the daw wonneth."

"What a fate they hadst, doth thee concur, poor sir?"

You really don't understand what he is saying, you continue walking towards the capital, you start to see it, unfortunately before you arrive, you see two soldiers talking, you decide to hide and listen at what they are talking about.

Soldier 1: "Our suger is at base, what shalt we do?"

Soldier 2: "I knoweth not, we shouldst bid the captain."

You approach them, they saw you, and they draw their swords.

Soldier 1: "Who art thee? Introduce thyself!"

You gazed at them, unfazed.

Soldier 2: "Thou art a vile Cavum, alloweth us to killeth thee, thou shall die an honourable death."

Soldier 2 attacks you with a slash, you take a step to the back and stab the Soldier at his heart, the other soldier thrusts his sword towards toy, you blocked it with the edge of your sword, to slash the soldier at his chest, then stabs the soldier's eye.

You loot the Soldiers, they didn't have anything interesting.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

You continue walking, you see a road towards the gate of the capital, suddenly a soldier riding a horse rushes at you, he jumps onto you from the horse.

You stabbed his stomach in the way he jumps down, you took his Spear.

You approach the capital gate, it was open, with three soldiers standing, you hold the sword with one hand and the spear with the other hand, They draw their swords.

You attack one soldier with the sword from above, he blocked it, you stab him with the spear.

The other soldier attacks you with a thrust, you get back and stab him with the spear.

The other one, was watching, hiding behind his shield, you attack him with your sword, he blocked it, and attacks in return with a sweep.

It caught you of guard, you get slashed at your chest.

You try a more defensive side, the soldier attacks you with a thrust, you step on his sword and stab him with your sword.

You see an Archer above the gate, you throw the spear at his stomach.

He screams before dying, making a little group of soldiers come to the gate.

You enter the gate, you see a lot of soldiers In a square inside the capital, one of them saw you, and pulls a horn to signal the other soldiers.

You're getting back a little, a lot of soldiers ran into you, 10 of them approaches you.

You manages to kill 3 of them, but unfortunately, you get stabbed in the back, and you fall to the ground.

"..."

You wake up at Pictor's house, you see someone that looks like Pictor, but different, she talks with the same Angelic tone.

"Oh, thou art did wake up, welcome, I'm Scriptor, the younger sister of Pictor."

You ask her about how you are not dead by now.

She says:

"Oh, a Chosen one cannot die, until thee fulfil thy own duty."

You think about what she said, what did she mean?, but you didn't want to ask her.

She said:

"Thou shalt continue thy journey, to the Mountain peak, and get the Blade of Mercy, and thou wilt accomplish thy duty."

You asked her what she means.

"Thou would not understand If I tell thee now, continue thy journey, and thou wilt have thine answers.", She answerd.

You are really curious now, but you think you must continue through the journey.

Chapter 1.3: Sir Octavius

You exit the house, and go to the Capital of Lawrence, you see that the Gates are now closed.

You climb the mountain beside it, to get access inside the Capital.

Unfortunately, they are guarded, but there's only 4 soldiers.

You get to them and attack them, two of them attack you at the same time, you manage to block and counter attack one of them, by slashing his chest.

The other, tries to attack you with an upward slash, you step back, and stab him in the heart.

The one that got slashed in his chest, tries to attack again, you block it then attack him with a diagonal slash from above, you step back to cover distance.

Only two remaining, you take the sword of the fallen soldier beside you, the soldier attack you from above, you block it, and stab him in his stomach.

You throw the sword you just picked at the final soldier's head.

You continue through mountain, you jump at a house roof inside the capital.

You see someone more armoured than the other soldiers, in the middle of the capital, shouting at the soldiers, he said:

"Thou shouldst guard the gate when that vile Cavum came here!, at least, he is no more, But as I, Captain Octavius, of the Flavius army, shalt guard the capital, with all my might!"

He seems a prideful knight, you took this at your advantage.

You jump in the middle of them, pointing your sword at the captain, to a 1v1 duel.

He said:

"Thou art didn't die?, no matter, if thou want to continue, thou need to pass by my corpse first!"

He seems to accept the duel, the soldiers got back and performed a circle around you, shouting the captain's own name, Captain Octavius.

He pulls a greatsword, waiting for you to attack.

You try to read him, he is Larger in physique, with a normal greatsword that outclass your Longsword, he is also more armoured than you, but you see a disadvantage, his gut is not armoured enough, your sword can pierce through it.

You attack from above, to see how he reacts.

He blockes it, then attacks you with a thrust.

You manage to dodge it, he attack you from above while you dodge the thrust, like he knew that you will dodge it.

You manage to block it, but you get some steps back, he's reading you well, you take an aggressive role against him.

You attack him with a diagonal slash, he blockes it, then he grabs the sword by the edge and grip and pushes you, you get pushed, he performs a slash from your left, you manage to block it at the last second, your heart are racing, he seems skilled, but he's havey armoured and swings slowly and aggressively, so you try to break his momentum.

You attack from below, then combine it with a thrust to his chest, then a quick slash towards his arm.

He blocked the first attack, but his armour got damaged by the thrust, and his forearm got slashed.

he gets back.

He seems too focused now.

He attacks with a sweep, then spins to swing at you, then he attack you with a thrust.

You got hit by the sweep, your stomach got damaged, you manage to block the swing, then you step on his sword when he thrust, you really have an opportunity to attack now, but he pushes you out.

It's getting tense now.

Your stomach is still hurting, at least you had some armour there.

He screams a war cry, the Soldiers gets back and the Circle gets bigger, he attacks you furiously, he attacks you from below, you step back, then he attacks you with a sweep, you step back too, then he do a thrust attack, you parry it and stab him at his chest.

He gets back, while holding his chest, his chestpiece broke because of your attacks, he is heavy breathing, you are thinking about a way to pierce through his gut.

He attacks you from your left-side, you parry it then thrust your sword towards his chest, he parry it then he attacks your right-side.

You get injured, your forearm starts bleeding hard.

He smiles, he broke through your defense, he can attack freely now.

You really don't know what to do, you start gasping, he attacks you with a sweep, you jump and bounce off of his face, to get back from him, he charges at you with his sword to thrust you, you walk to the side and get behind him, ready to stab him, you stabed him in his back.

He got stabed hard it pierce through his back, he got on his knees, and dropped his sword, he said:

""V-Very well, Cavum, thou havt fought well, Sir Octavius, approves thee as a Fine...Warrior."

"Now, finish me, Cavum."

You took his sword, the soldiers looked at you, with terrified eyes, he looked at his soldiers.

"King Flavius, I have failed you, accept my apology."

You cut his head with his sword, and put the sword on the ground, the soldiers were shocked, they fall to the ground, terrified from you, you gazed at them for a while.

You look at your injured arm, you thought of going to Pictor's house.

You exit the capital, walking towards Pictor's house, holding your forearm, while breathing heavily.

You start to see Pictor's house, but your vision became blury the more you walk.

You fell to the ground, you try to stand up, you managed to, then walked slowly towards the house.

You enterd the house, then fell off.

Chapter 1.4: Scriptor

You woke up, you see Scriptor, gazing at you.

"Thou havt woke up, Thou did worried Pictor a lot."

You stare at her.

She feels nervous by your stare, she takes a breath.

"Thou deserves to have answers to thy questions, feel free to ask, now."

You ask her, about the Word "Cavum".

She says:

"Oh, thou havt heard it a lot?, The Cavum are a race of ancient humans from a foreign land, known for their low intelligence and lack of knowledge, and for their short height, they lived in the Golden Land of King Flavius, but Flavius hate them, so did his knights, They wast banished form the land, they lived in the Frozen peak, in the Cavum hamlet, They wanted to take revenge from Flavius, and was obsessed with rising a child that can finish Flavius once and for all, They learned the way of the sword, rising their own sword techniques to show themselves in front the Flavius knights, their obsession led to Gluttony for power, and envy for the Flavius knights."

You ask her about King Flavius.

She replies with:

"King Flavius is the King of the Golden land, an old, pridful Knight, known for his achievements in the battlefield, known for slaying the Dragons in the" Old Battle", known for his figure and legacy, his knights wore a Golden armour, representing the Gold of the land, thier pride of their King and Queen were unmatched, And they do not think that there are better than their King and thyself, leading to an unfortunate behavior towards anyone below them, Like the Cavum, and towards the Chaos land of Lord Agni, like how their King did."

You ask her About the Capital of Lawrence.

She sighed.

"Thou want me to talk about The capital?, Perchance thou art hungry for knowledge..."

"The Capital of Lawrence ruled before by Captain Lawrence of the Boreas Army, known for his wrath and power, his legacy and power wast most wondrous, that the Giant lord grant him a capital for him to rule, The capital flourished, and survived several attacks, several wars, but in the end, when Captain Lawrence died, the Capital was invaded by King Flavius."

You nod at her, you don't seem to have any questions right now, you are thinking about what your journey will lead, you ask her about this.

She looked away.

"Thy journey is to get the Blade of Mercy, and end King's Flavius suffering..."

She looks down, you are really curious what does she mean, but she's in a very bad state, you decide to leave her alone for now.

Chapter 1.5: Chiyo, the Geisha

You exit the house, and see Pictor sitting outside.

You sit beside her, she looked at you, with happiness in her eyes.

"Oh, thou did wake up, Thou made Scriptor worried!", She said.

You ask her about her Sister, Scriptor, and how she looks sad right now after you asked her.

She looked away.

She respondes to your question.

"Dear Chosen one, having high knowledge about what happened around you can hurt."

You nod.

She looks at you curiously.

"Thou went to the Capital, didst thee?"

"I hast heard about Sir Octavius death, Did Thou Killeth Octavius?"

You nod at her.

"Captain Iovita is looking for the one who Killeth Octavius.", She replied.

You look at her, you remember the injury that happened during Octavius Duel.

She looked at you.

"P-Perchance thou should train for the fight, hm?, Chiyo is there, if thou wanteth."

You nod, and get up to Chiyo the Geisha, you get infront of her.

You ask Chiyo of she have time for a training session.

"Oh, thou art interested to know the way of the blade?, fear not Dear chosen one, Chiyo the Geisha at your service."

You ask her about her story, curiously.

She looks down a bit, then she says:

"I'm one Of the Six Geisha sisters from an Eastern land, The lord of blood land, we, The sisters served The lord, until his death, the land was destroyed, and we havt to flee..."

You ask her if she can train you.

"Oh, yeah... Right."

She gets back, ready to fight you.

You draw your sword.

You launch at her, trying to stab ber, she moves to the side, she starts circling around you.

You are feeling awkward, she giggles softly.

You slash at her, she moves to the side, pushing you back.

You gaze at her eye, she gazes back, while both of you circle around each other.

She poses "The middle guard" pose while holding the katana, a basic middle stance sword holding pose in kendo.

She looks ready to strike, you focus at her footwork, she steps with her right foot, you predict her upcoming attack, its an attack from above.

She attacks from above, you move to the side, you pushed her back.

She smiles, you feel that her smile is coming really from her heart.

You also feel she will change her plans.

She steps at you faking a slash.

You step back, she steps again to attack you from above, her sword touched your head.

You were shocked for a moment, she smirked at you.

You get back, gazing into her eyes, waiting for any opportunity to attack.

She was to focused, she seems ready to attack.

You take a step to slash her throat, at the same time, she takes a step to stab your chest.

You both stopped, her sword didn't touch your chest, however, your sword touched her neck hard.

Both of you were shocked for a moment, Chiyo laughed.

You get back and sheath your sword.

She sheaths her sword, and looks at you.

"Dear chosen one, thou art a true warrior, take this, as a reward."

She gives you a Katana and Wakizashi, you take them.

She smiles, and says:

"Be safe out there, Chosen one, shall thee?"

You Nod.

End of Chapter 1.
