Chapter 0 prologue
Outside the walls of Troll Berg walks a being in silver armor with white details painted on it the armor had a pair of bronze antlers coming out of the helmet and the armor itself was slim had a small bust and there was an area for the hips but if one looked closely, one would notice that the piece wrapped around the stomach was not done properly leaving it slightly loose, the figure stopped and took off their helmet to show a woman's face and brown hair her name was Johanna.
Johanna: I know you're here it's safe to show yourself.
A figure wearing a blue cloak appears the cloak is made of scales that at first would seem like stone but have a shine that would remind one of metal the man himself could not be seen because of a strange enchantment that covered his body in shadows the only thing one could see were his eyes that glowed a strange blue with black slitted pupils.
Cloaked figure: One can never be too careful these days the order is I don't want to be rude but…
Johanna: They have become corrupted by the power they hold and are going to start a war with the magical creatures you don't need to mince words around me especially since I'm leaving them.
The cloaked figure backed up in shock.
Cloaked figure: You're leaving them but you know what they do to deserters!
Johanna: Don't worry their sending me on a stealth mission into the wilderness to find flush out and slay any creatures I find, what they don't know is that I won't be doing that or returning besides.
She puts a hand to her stomach.
Johanna: I can't let them get to her.
The cloaked figure walks up to her putting his hand on her cheek.
Cloaked figure: (sigh) if only they stayed on their path, then we could be together but the war will happen and we can't stop it, I have a cabin in the wilderness that can keep you two safe it is supplied with the things you need to raise her.
He pulls out a map and hands it to her.
Johanna: I wish you would come.
Cloaked figure: So, do I but I was demanded to attend the war and if I don't, they may do something regrettable who knows maybe some day things will be better but for now.
He takes off his cloak reveling his face and body blue scales just like the one on his cloak instead of skin his hair a matching color.
Uncloaked figure: take this and when you get to the trees put it on it will keep you safe.
Johanna: I cant believe it has gotten to this first it was keep them secret then stop the bad ones now their going around torturing nisse I hope they fall in the war, I have to back now please be careful my love.
Uncloaked figure: I will.
He then falls on all four limbs as his body twist and change his frame expands and change his limbs and neck elongate as his clothes dissipate into magic his head reforming into that of a beast and when he is done a large winged blue dragon stands where he once was and then his body vanishes and Johanna could feel the wind from his wings as he takes off, she turns and heads back to the city stuffing the map and cloak into her armor.
The next day within the confines under the city there is a meeting room that filled to the brim with knights wearing armor each suit designed differently with a different color scheme and animal theme they sit in patience for their master to arrive and then they did wearing armor forged from the bones of a great sea beast sculpted to look like human bones in their hand a spear made of the same bone they were First Knight he spoke
First Knight: HELLO MY LOYAL SUBJECTS I BRING MOST HORRID NEWS THE WITCHES COUNCIL DO NOT WISH TO HELP US!
Those words brought rage and hatred to the many knights that were there muttering and arguing about why they would not agree.
First Knight: FURTHER MORE THEY DEMAND THAT ANY WITCHES AMONG OUR RANKS BE WITH THEM DURING THE WAR!
More arguments and yelling could be herd especially amongst the magic users of their ranks.
First Knight: I KNOW THIS WILL BE A GREAT LOST DURING ARE BATTLE BUT FEAR NOT I HAVE PLANED FOR SUCH AN EVENT SEVERAL SCOUTS WILL BE SENT A WEEK BEFORE THE WAR THEY WILL LEARN OUR ENEMIES MANY SECRETS THEY WILL REPORT THEIR STRENGTHS AND THEY WILL WEAKEN OUR ENEMIES MANY SOILDERS THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND THEY RIDE TOMAROW AND WITH THEIR WORK WE WILL SLAY!
The knights cheered at their leaders words and left to slowly get ready for their mission, Johanna was one of them but she had different ideas she packed her things checked the map she was given and packed that to what many members of the order didn't know was that she was planning her escape for so long her secret love just made it easier buying a car in secret hiding it with a cloaking stone all planned in advance, she will have to return to Troll Berg for supplies but she could manage that, as she was leaving the hidden guild she thought of how she first became a knight she was only a child but the memory fresh her family was camping in the forest when they were attacked by a giant golem creature, she was the only one to survive and that is only because she was saved by a knight wearing gold amor that had a large horn in the front after asking were she was from or if their was anyone to take care of her she did not so she was taken to the order back then they were heroes they could do no wrong but now they have lost their way.
By the time she finished she was at the place she parked her vehicle in secret she removed her armor and put on the cloak the cloaking and drove off, to where the map told her a sense of freedom in her veins.
Johanna: I will miss you my love but I promise on my parents graves that our daughter will be safe she will not come to the city until it is safe and I will slay anything that may try to harm her you will have a good life Hilda
