Story


The island nation of Almega had just won a war no one had ever thought they had a chance at winning. According to the poets and many a soldier, this victory was due to seven heroes. These seven had been little more than a small group of friends from a village on the island's northern shore, and decided to join the military together. no commander ever saw them as amounting to much at first, but soon they were proved wrong. The little group was nearly invincible on the battle-field when together. And soon they began to shine individually as well. From battle tactics to ship smarts to wilderness survival; they had any unit they were in covered.

When the war ended, and they returned to Almega, the entire nation was already singing their praises as fearless warriors of unmatched talent. The king gave them the highest honors, and they and their families moved into the castle. Life was grand. But, as it always does, change began to occur.

Many people began to see them as gods. Their heroic tales were twisted ever so slightly every time a new song or poem was written in their honor, that they had become larger than life. People loved them more than the dynasty of monarchs that had governed them so fairly throughout the nations history. Soon, the situation exploded.

A rebellion had started. It lasted only days since there were so few against the heroes' followers and even fewer that dared say so. Overnight the royal family was eraticated by their own guards. Just days later, the heroes were pronounced by the joyful prime minister to be Almega's new rulers. The cheer of the people was thunderous when the seven warriors stepped out onto the balcony overlooking the capital city, adorned with crowns and magestic robes.

But the faces the heroes bore were ones of uncertainty. None of them had ever guessed their following would get this far. They were not gods, and they knew it. But now it was too late to stop this. Almega had crowned them its ruler, and it was there duty to honor that.

So for the past year or so, they have been the nations kings and queens. Litterally worshipped by their people as gods. No other nation dares upset them, for fear they might actually be immortal. But all is not well for the once proud and moral soldiers. For the life they once held so dear is fading quickly.

The very culture of their people has changed drastically, and there seems to be little trace of the old Almega left. Every day another priest or priestess is ordained, and the heady scent of perfume and inscence overflows from every room that one of them may walk through. Some of the heroes have come to enjoy all this adoration, to a certain extent, but others want nothing more than for it all to end. Their once close friendship is falling apart. All of them, even the most power-hungry, regret this change more than anything else.

As everything they knew fades away due to their own, corrupted glory; they all have to wonder: What will become of us and our beloved Almega in the comming years? And is it too late to stop it?

Lorietta hurried through the halls to the throne room to see if any of their rulers were there. She clutched an envelope tightly to her chest that had been in front of the fireplace of one of the royal advisors. It was obviously meant to burn, but missed the flames themselves. And now she had it.

Having read the contents of the letter, she knew she had to tell her lords and ladies. She wasn't sure if they were going to like this at all. The royal advisors among other nobles were really pushing this this time...

Roan strode down one of the less traveled hallways in the upper castle. he went up there often when he wanted to be alone knowing not many of the people who would ask him of things, he believed he wasn't fit for, wouldn't come. Silence. he thought to himself his longsword ever clipped to his belt as he stopped near a window. "How did it ever come to this?" he said to himself was he slowly opened the window letting a warm breeze fall in. Sweet serenity. he smiled hearing the sounds of daily life.

Lori stopped as she passed by another hall, and looked down it. One of her lords, Roan, was standing near the window in it. She remained where she was for a moment before quietly approaching him.

"M-milord?" she murmured, as though if she spoke much louder the castle would crumble to the ground. The letter was getting particially crumbled in her clammy hands as she held it close.
PostPosted: Tue Feb 26, 2008 4:18 pm


As Roan still stood there staring out the window, lost in thought, he did not notice the servant girl walk up to him. Finally after a few seconds he turned to her. "Yes? what is it?" so much for alone time. he thought as he looked at the girl. Lori? wasn't it? he thought to himself thinking on how many times her had seen this girl but still couldn't quite get her name down.

"Excuse me, sire," she curtsied, as was polite, "I wasn't interupting you, was I?"

She didn't want to bother him. She would get him the information in due time. Unlike most of the servants, she kept her gaze up, instead of respectfully staring at the ground as one would be expected to in the presence of an immortal being. But she knew better than that, and was fairly sure their lords didn't enjoy that treatment much.
PostPosted: Tue Feb 26, 2008 4:37 pm


"Roan is fine." he said bluntly stating how he hated being called sire. "No I was doing nothing of importance. Just admiring the view. Did you want something?" he asked "Lori wasn't it?" he said adding a touch of kindness when saying her name as he looked back out through the window. I wish it were back to those days when all we did was fight nothing else mattered. he thought remembering the good feelings he had with his comrades now their friendship was strained at best.

"Grahhh!!"

The sound of a battlecry was then followed by even louder sounds of crashing and splintering trees. The ground rumbled as the massive weight of each trunk shook the ground, each tree hewn cleanly through as if a hot knife had gone through butter. Amidst the jumble of fallen vegetation was a golden haired young man, his thick upperbody glistening with sweat as his chest rose rhythmically up and down, obvious that the effort of slaughtering the gigantic trees exhausted him quite a bit. Gripped by his left hand was an oversized sword of crystal like material, luminescent and glowing brightly as the sun shone on the young warrior. The whole forest was silent except for the sound of the man's heavy breathing, just the usual soft noise that a forest would have but that's about it. It was the warrior's secret place of solitude, away from the awkward grandeousity that the castle he resided in represents. The man was Siegfried Schtauffen, one of the Great Seven Lords that led the rebellion against the repressive royalty that once ruled Almega...
