Our King

traded and put on the ship and headed for the east continent.

The king and his close friend, which is me, I will refer to myself as such from now on. So the king and myself
sat for many hours forging our plan. We soon realized it would be easy for us to slip out into the water at
night .There was so many people none would notice us. So the king said goodbye to his mother. Told her he
would find her and set her free. We had noticed during the day that we were coming to a place where land
narrowed in on each side, we thought this would be a perfect chance .So we waited until night and slipped
into the water and swam under the water to shore, and did not come out of the water until the ship was a
good ways off. When the ship was out of sight we climbed ashore .We waited still a little while longer, before
we started a fire to dry off and get warm. We decided to get sleep and start our quest in the morning. As we
were sleeping a pack of hyenas surrounded us ,we awoke ,the king looked to me eyes wild with excitement,
go to that tree and close your eyes he told me, i will tell you when to open them or if I need help you'll know
now go, he hissed. So i went to the tree but did not close my eyes at least not as of yet. The king moved to
the center of the circle where the fire was he crouched over it with his tunic. The hyenas snarling and slowly
closing in on him, he jumps onto the fire smothering it out, that’s when it all happened. I did not need to
close my eyes I could not see anything when the fire went out. But I could hear and what I heard was blood
curdling .I could hear him tearing them apart. I could hear them trying to get away and him getting them, it
sounded so brutal i covered my ears and still closed my eyes even though I couldn't see. After what felt like
forever, the king finally tapped me on the shoulder, It's ok my friend was good exercise and now we have
food he said .so we restarted the fire cooked and ate some food talked, thought for a while and went to
sleep.

We awoke when the sun was high already. I knew that if we had been in any more danger the king would
have long awakened and dealt with it ,for in all my years as his friend he never slept more than 2 hours a
night some days no sleep, it never wore on him. So this was very strange to see. As we were waking still lying
on the ground our king looked to me and said, my friend that was the most peaceful sleep i have had in my
life so far .We should fight for this cause, that all men would have this peace. So all men could sleep in peace
of mind without fear. However my friend the road to peace is paved in much blood, the blood of these
terrible rulers of both the east and west continents and those that follow them .however when we are done
all this peace will reign on this world, are you with me my friend .I said that i was yes, until the very end. So
right then and there we formed our plan. First we were to separate and become mercenaries join rebels and
as many campaign as we each could, gaining alliances with only the best of the best .however our king was
the best he was known for being inhuman in battle nothing or no one in his league .He said that we would be
eventually contracted to kill each other, and at that point we start the second stage in our plan. You will see
all this as everything unfolds. So we agreed to the plan and set off each our own way .To hone our skills forge
alliances, all for the greater end. As time went by we each became well known as being amongst the most
skilled warriors. Our king known as being the most fierce and skilled of them all. He was respected by all
warriors he came across, even the ones that hired him would tremble as they would humbly ask him to join
their campaign.

Well as things went I finally had been contracted to kill our king, as well he had been contracted to kill me. I
could get into the politics of this however it holds know bearing, for all the politics were about to change. So
we met in secret to talk about where and how we would start. We decided to go after the ones that hired
