Prologue: The Unfolding
His face was ashen in the moving light of the fire. He packed hurriedly. He first strode over to his enormous dresser and began flinging his clothes across the room onto, into, or nearby a small sack that had a strap so you could easily carry it. After throwing his last jerkin across he strode across to the opposite wall by the bed where his sword and shield hung awaiting him, it was a wonder blade made of the finest metal to make it nearly unbreakable and the shield was wonderfully ornate with a huge red dragon running rampant in the middle. He grabbed his axe which was made out of a strong piece of wood similar to oak and a huge silver head with interesting designs all over the head.
He took one last look around the ill lighted room. He had literally ransacked his suite of rooms while he was packing. Just then his door banged open and a great shadow was transfixed in the doorway.
"And where do you think you are going, eh laddie?" asked the man in a tone that he knew well.
"Where you and your generals are to cowardice to go." He said with a slight edge in his voice.
"You know that I have forbidden it."
"Yes father, but they will need much help soon and no one will aid them so I will go."
"NO…….. We have not reason to help them besides we need not listen to an old prophet who is now dead and by all rights insane. He prophesied on his deathbed that evil would come but he was old and was constantly telling me stupidity. He was great once but he had fallen and become pitiful."
"We who are descended from dragon fighters should not need to be told, we should know it before anyone else should now. Don't you feel that he was right?"
"That is not the point, besides we never fought dragons."
"Aye but it is in our blood and we all have been blessed with out ancestor's powers to be able to protect this whole land if they ever returned."
"Let the fools fend for themselves we did not wish to fight but had to and they were the ones who started the wars anyway, if the dragons destroy them it will be good. They banished us because they thought that we might do things without their approval. The Legends were forgotten."
"Yes but we are still bound with the oath our forefathers took. That we would and our descendants would come to the aid of the world if it was ever in need. Because of this I will go and aid them."
"Fine I will not keep you but know this. I will disown you from my house. Once you step the castle gate to do this you are no longer my son or the prince and I will not send men to aid you if you are to be killed."
"I understand father, but I must think and if I go then you have my answer."
"Good that is all I wish you to do is to think before going off rashly."
"Would you permit me to go and scout out and discover if things are amiss?"
"That I will allow for I do not doubt that dragons are returned or will return but I do not know when, were or how. You may go with your men and scout out and then inform me but you will not lead out and army yet. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, father, I must go for we are prepared to depart."
"You will of course use Fargus' services?"
"Yes, of course"
"Good, until your return or message my son this place is a good day of Pegasus or Wyvern riding away."
With that his father left and the prince finished his packing and left for the town just outside of the town. He walked through the town until he came to the door of an inn and slowly began to open the door. He did not notice the shadow dart away as the light poured out.
