Chapter 3
Harbin's task ch.1
Harbin was a simple palace guard who loved nothing more than money. He wasn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, if you get my meaning, but he was smart enough though. He was very strong and was the best palace guard, no doubt about it. One day he was on watch early in the morning when he was summoned to the king's chamber. Two other guards escorted him to the chamber and went out the door after he was in. He saw the king on the throne and looked at home with his big gold plated, jewel studded crown. Harbin wondered how much money he could get for that if it were to go, "missing". He saw many nobles and scribe and servants tending to the kings every whim. "Harbin?" the king said. "Yes milord? Why was I summoned here?" Harbin inquired. "As you already know, Valdivia is struggling to defend it self from the evil undead armies constantly trying to reach the inner core of this land. Many soldiers have sacrificed their lives defending this land from invasion of those evil undead. We have recently discovered a large army amassing in the north." "And what are you trying to say, milord " "As you already know, Valdivia is struggling to defend itself from the evil undead armies constantly trying to reach the inner core. Many soldiers have already died. We have recently discovered a large army amassing in the north." "And what are you trying to say milord?" "All the armies are not close enough and we don't have enough soldiers. We are close enough to send reinforcements. We are sending everyone available to the defense. If we fail, it will be an open charge to the capital." "So you want me to give them the best of luck?"He said stupidly. "No you idiot! I want you to go to the front lines. Everyone knows you are the strongest guard. Ill need you there in a week, so you should leave by the 8th and arrive on the 13th. "What!? I mean. yes milord." And then he left the court. He arrived back in his quarters. He tripped over something. He cursed and looked to see it was a sphere. He looked closer. The ball itself seemed to be made of diamond and it glittered. He saw runes inscribed with gold on the ball, and when he picked it up, the runes glowed and a mysterious emerald light shone from the middle. "Wow, I bet I can get a LOT of money for this. Heh." Said Harbin, grinning. Just then, a disembodied voice called out. "Harbin! Harbin! Harbin, you have been chosen to make a journey to the sacred tower and fulfill your destiny. Be warned, your journey will be filled with peril and corruption, and even death."And so ended the message. "Bah" he said as he tossed the ball in a trunk. He believed in no God and that are where the story of Harbin begins.
