Sorry! Very, very sorry… I got some documents messed up. Here's the real chapter 1.

Lief downed a goblet of ale and listened to the jovial ballads floating in the air. He tore a piece of chicken off a chicken leg as his eyes drifted towards Jasmine and their son, Draken. Jasmine shouted something incoherent.

"What!" Lief yelled over the crescendo.

"Captain Kwynlin wants to see you! And Draken is going to his chambers; he's getting rambunctious!"

As Jasmine rushed a screaming Draken through the Great Hall. Lief wobbled towards one side of the hall. A man dressed in a suit of armor waited at that exact spot.

"A crow of the Shadow Lord was spotted over the Eastern Tower. We shot it down with an arrow to the breast, and we found this tied to it's leg."

He unrolled a scroll and held it for Lief to see. Lief's eyes widened in shock.

Do you not fare well

In the trenches of hell

That are the Shadowlands

Then definitely

You will not fare

In the Pit of Despair
