Chapter 1
Tord left his fathers with a new spring in his step for Tord had passed the final test and was now considered a warrior. He walked on a well trodden dirt track witch travelled between to towns just thirty miles long, Tord was going to Crysimery just 3 miles from his house. As Tord walked he whistled a marching song his father had taught him when he was young, and said mourning to every person he saw. Tord reached crysimery just before noon. As was about to pass though the town gates, the guards stopped him.
"You need to pay a fee for each day it is 5 copper a day and if you are found with out a pass or its out of date you will be thrown into jail till the last day of the season were you will be seen by a judge and be charged with a fine." The tall guard said crossing his pick with his fellow guard to bar Tord passage in to Crysimery.
Tord passed over a silver coin and the guard passed him a purple and a blue disc.
"Purple disc is for today the blue one for tomorrow. You may pass but beware get a new pass in 2 days time or else." The smaller guard said uncrossing his pike to let Tord passage into Crysimery.
"Thank you have a good day." Tord said.
As Tord entered Crysimery a little man maybe a dwarf or a gnome jumped up and pulled Tords hair which brought Tord down to the person's level.
"Come to the blacken tree near the forest outside of town be there at noon if you wanna fight for big gold."
Before Tord could reply the dwarf or maybe gnome released his hair and disappeared into a throng of people.
Tord walked slowly over to Anack little house on the west side of town were the not to well off people lived, Tord knocked loudly.
"Hey no need to take the bloody door of its hinges." Anack said opening the door.
