Ch 1: The Beginning of Seda
In the great Kingdom of the East a young boy was born by the King and Queen of the kingdom. He would become the heir to the throne and loved by many. But great terrors were happening to the west causing mass tensions in the peace of the nations. The king kept peace for many years, while at the same time raising Seda, his son, the heir to the throne. Seda was a kind boy, he would help a lot around the kingdom, doing chores, helping the farmers, even setting up community events for the people and help them forget the troubles brewing in the west for a few days. The king and queen raised him to be a very noble and selfless boy. When he was a teen he was also a very fine swordsmen, beating the trainer about three weeks after his training started. One day while hosting another community event he bumped into a girl he later learned was Sophia. They exchanged quick hellos before they had to spilt up. Seda for a some unknown reason felt he would meet her again. A week after the community event he set out on horseback to a small monster filled dungeon to hone his swordsmanship. He entered the dungeon and looked around the torch lighted caves. He walked down the cave as he finally meet his first real battle. "A bat" said Seda as a bat was sighted flying around. He quickly pulled out his long sword, which was a long but thin blade, and jumped at the bat cutting it in half instantly. He picked up a small of gold from the floor where he killed the bat, even he wondered why monsters somehow dropped gold form there dead corpses. After traveling in the caves for a long time, he made it to a natural underground waterfall. He drank his fill and quickly finished off the rest of the dungeon. Few treasures here and there ,but he needed to find the gate key for the next floor. After killing the last monster, that he had missed in the last sweep of the area, he opened the door to the next floor and when back home for the day to rest and see his family again. This pattern continued to several days, but he finally made it to the last floor of what he called The Forest Caves because the cave was located deep in a forest. He had suited up for with some armor as he opened the door to the finally floor. Inside was a huge cavern and in the middle of the cavern was the biggest insect he had ever seen. When great skill he charged the insect jumping out of the way at the last second as a huge arm crushed the area next to him. He cut the giant insect as he rushed at its legs. The insect roared in pain as he cut off one of its legs. "That all you got big guy?" taunted Seda as he jumped back away from the insect. He insect then suddenly opened and 3 eggs popped out as it closed itself again. The eggs quickly hatched as 3 huge ants crawled out. "That has got to be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen" said Seda as he avoided the ants that were now attacking him. He cut off the head of one of the ants before another insect limp almost crushed him. He had forgotten about the big one, and almost let himself get crushed. He cursed and quickly killed the other ants before charging the big bug again. Just as the arm was about to crush him, he jumped out of the way and up into the air, he raised his sword above his head as he stabbed the bug in the head as he landed. He jumped off the big with his sword as he got a safe distance away. The bug suddenly fell down and was still. He wiped his sweat on his hand and wiped his blade clean. "Wonder if this was worth it" said Seda as he noticed a huge chest at the other end of the cavern. He quickly ran to it and opened the lid. Inside was a huge sword, with a black handle and a wide and long blade. He picked it up with one hand and found it to be a very light sword. "Now, this is a sword" said Seda as he put his long sword away and used the new blade. He quickly exited the dungeon, and when on his horse for the trip back to the castle. When he got back to the castle, he found his father waiting for him. "Yes father?" said Seda as his horse stopped in front of the king. "Seda, I see you have finished the dungeon" said his father looking at the huge blade that he tied on his back. "Yes, I'm very sorry for going against mothers wishes" said Seda as he had been scolded more than once for going into that place against mother's wishes. "It's ok son, I just have to speak with you in private" said the King as he motioned for Seda to get off the horse and follow him. When they stopped they had reached the palace gardens. "I have to tell you that I may now have much longer to live, and to ask if you are prepared to take over the kingdom" said the king as his tired eyes looked at Seda. Seda shocked by the news that his father had not much longer to go started to protest. "Father, I'm sure you have a long life ahead of you, and I'm hoping I'm ready when you die" said Seda. The king nodded and thanked Seda for his time as he left for another meeting in the throne room. Seda quickly walked back to his room, avoiding mother, and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the bed. When he awoke the next morning the first thing he heard was...the news of his father's death.
