The Shadow Chronicles
Chapter 1: The Assassin
I stood there in front of my father with my ears folded back as he looked at me with anger. "You what?" he said, words sharp.
"I…umm…want to be able to see what the outside world has to offer…to see what its like," I said.
"You, royalty, want to be among those beneath you? Ridiculous!" he snapped.
"But father! Please...," I began.
"Silence!" he yelled, "As of now, I am no longer your father. Nor are you my son."
I stared at him in disbelief. "Father, you are joking right?" I asked.
He snarled at me, "Get out of my sight.” I felt anger swell up inside of me.
"Dear, please, you don't have to be so hard on him," my mother said
"No. This is my final decision. Now get out of here," he told me.
My eyes were blurred with tears of anger. I turned and bolted out of the room. I ran until I collapsed from exhaustion. I moved with the little strength I had left and sat against a tree.
I was asleep in no time.
I began to dream of when I first desired freedom.
It was about a year ago when some traders came to the castle. I was amazed at all of the items they had. Afterwards, I talked to my mother, who thought that it would be nice for me to travel.
But not my father. He told me a future king shouldn’t say such foolish things.
I awoke to a male voice. I looked up to see a walrus leaning over me. "Hey. You okay?" he asked me.
"Yeah. I’m fine," I said as I stood up.
"My name is Gants. Nice to meet you," he said.
"Likewise. My name is Kael," I replied.
"Are you a soldier too?" he asked.
"Umm…yeah; I just joined today," I lied.
"Do you need me to take you back to the barracks?" Gants asked.
"Uh…yeah, sure." I replied.
He began to walk back to the barracks where I head a deep, booming voice call out to me. "You there! Are you Kael?" I turned and saw a very buff dragon staring at me. "Umm…yes, I am," I admitted.
"Come with me. Your barrack is this way," he informed me, nodding at me to follow him.
‘How did he know who I am?’ Kael thought suspiciously to himself.
"Later," Gants said.
"See ya," I said as I cautiously followed the dragon to my new room.
