Chapter 1: The Task part 1
The shining path of the sun peaks through the curtains of my chamber, woke me from my dreamless sleep and force to wake up to a life that is dedicated to my father, my kingdom, and my people. I stood up and walked to the bowl of water and washed my face. As soon as I finished bathing and dressed, I walked to my father's throne room where he sat wisely beside my beautiful and now smiling mother. They have a harmony together, the perfectness that they can show the whole kingdom and the reason why they fight for what they want, the reason that I fight for them and the reason that I vowed to fight forever.
"Morning Father, I apology for my absence in the morning feast. I was very tired" I bowed as I apology, though the reason I have given was not entirely true.
"All is well my son, your difficult training does that to you, and it's a task every prince must pass through. In the end it produces excellent ruler" He said as he smiled to me, smiling proudly at his son.
"You are doing great Alexios, I am proud of you" My mother added, as she gazed to my father.
"You are spoiling him my love, Alexios listen to me carefully you have a task that awaits for you"
"What task are we speaking of, father? I did not know of this" I asked, the training I took did not mention any other task that must be done in the end.
"You do know that kingdom that calls themselves Sparta, it is said from one our ears that they have a secret weapon that can defeat anything. A weapon that consist the power of magic, and it is very deadly. I want to know about the truthfulness of this weapon, and you my son will find that out for me" he explained as he stood up with his luxuriant armor, an armor that reflects a power that the king possesses.
"A weapon father? We have the best weapon of all Greece, why would we want this weapon? And how can I find out about this father?"
"Do not be a fool boy! If this weapon does exist, we can conquer and build a new empire! A much stronger one that we have now. You will disguise yourself as one of the chosen warrior; the guardian is what I heard they call it. You will search of this weapon in their castle and once you are certain, then we may attack. Now go, prepare yourself!" he waved off in an attitude of sureness that I, Alexios will not fail due to whatever reason. And for that very moment I believed that there will be no reason that I can possibly use to not fulfill this task my father had given me.
