Chapter Two: Call of the King.

Part II

Five days after Kallian arrived to the camp that was created especially for men who had answered king’s call. The camp was located right outside the Capital city of forest kingdom Antolin in a small forest called kings garden. As he was entering the camp he saw large number of people arriving from all directions.

Guard: Name? Kallian saw a city guard that was checking everyone as they ender the camp.
Kallian: My name is Kallian I come from Greenfield sir…
Guard: Well Kallian from Greenfield follow the crowd and find you a place to sit and wait for orders. Next!

Kallian did as the guard said and put his backpack near a tree and sat down. The camp was large, bigger than his village. Kallian was looking amazed by so many people gathered in one place. Everyone seemed confused for the reason that brought them here. He saw many soldiers that were also there, putting tents all over the place. As he was sitting there his thoughts were back home. I must obey even if I don’t want to that was my word that day. Maybe I shouldn’t be here? But what else you could do? No you did right! He said to himself over and over again. Altho before he leaves Greenfield he went to find Brondir but he wasn’t there anymore. He thought over and over that maybe it was his imagination after all. But deep down inside him he knew that what he saw that night was true.

Young Man: Hey there. My name is Tolin. Can I sit with you? Kallian heard a voice and looked up. He saw a young man around his age with dark long hair and he looked big and muscular, but his voice gentle and soft.
Kallian: Yes of course. My name is Kallian I am from GreenField.
Tolin: GreenField you say? Then he laughed and said
Tolin: My aunt lives there. Her name is Miri.
Kallia: Yes Mrs.Miri I know here of course. Kallian was happy he felt good being with Tolin. The talked about they home and swapped stories.
Tolin: You know these call is dream come true to me!
Kallian: Why is that?
Tolin: I always wanted to become soldier…A dream to become great warrior you can say. He said and made a fist and rose to the sky.
Kallian: Warrior you say? I never thought of it. I always believed I became a tree cutter like all in my family up until now. I don’t know how. He said and smiled.
Tolin: Don’t worry. I will help you with that.

Time passed and more people gathered at the camp. Soon military officers where dividing all of them in smaller groups. Kallian was happy to find out that he was in the same group as Tolin. Each group was placed in a tent under the supervision of two guards. Tomorrow the military general will be there they said and after that people will know they duties. As far Kallian could understand the king was gathering an army. But why no one would tell. That was enough suspicious to him. The night came really fast and all of them were tired. Even if it was really cold night and the tents weren’t warm at all, everyone fell asleep.
In the middle of the night Kallian woke up. He was freezing so he took out from his backpack another leather jacket that Emian made for him. He walk out the two guards was sleeping. The camp seemed so peaceful and quiet. His eyes fell on the officer’s tent, there was light and he could here people talking.

What Kallian should do?

1.Go back to sleep.
2.Sneak to the officer’s tent and listen what they talking about.
3.Walk around until get tired.

Chapter Two: Call of the King.

Part I:

It was almost morning, Kallian slowly walked out of the forest. It was the strangest night of his life. His head full of thoughts. Was it true what he saw and heard tonight? This land wasn’t really what he thought it was? And if it was all true what Brondir revealed, was he really the one who could do something? He stopped and screamed

Kallian: What I’m supposed to do now?! Then he stopped and looked around. The snow almost stopped, the village looked empty it was still early even for the villagers to be up.

Kallian: I know I tolled him that I need time to think and that I will return soon with the answer. But will I? Never mind I must hurry back before my uncle wakes up he thought and rushed home. Fortunately he found that Emian was sleeping and quetly walked towards his bead when he heard.

Emian: You was out all night Kallian… Is everything ok? Emian spoke as he was getting up.
Kallian froze for a second he didn’t know what to say

Kallian: I couldn’t sleep uncle… I walked around in the forest… He lied. He felt ouful espesialy lie to his uncle but he felt that he couldn’t tell him the truth.
Emian looked at him for a moment then spoked

Emian: You know that I am here for you? Anything that bothers you, you can tell me. He spoke, got up and started to get ready for work. This time of the year was a busiest one espesialy for a woodcutter.

Emian: You can sleep today. I will go alone.
Kallia: No I can come! I’m fine.
Emian: It's ok you are still young. You’ll cut plenty of trees in your life. Now rest. Kallian didn’t want to argue with his uncle. He was really tired after all. Emian light up the fire for him and left. Kallian fell asleep but his dreams where dark and images of what Brondir tolled him where spinning around.
He got up around midday hearing his uncles voice.
Emian: Wake up Kallian. Wake up boy. Emian was over his bed and he seemed scared of something. Kallian got up quickly.
Kallian: What happened? He asked and placed his hands on Emian shoulders.
Emian: Come with me. You must see this!
Together they walked out towards the In. There was almost everyone in the village looking on some kind of announcement. They walked close and Kallian read it.

“Hear all citizens of Forest Kingdom.
This day is the Beginning of new age.
Finally Attus Antillian crowned king.

Hail Attus Antillian! Hail Our King! Hail the Ruler of Forest Kingdom!

Hear his first orders:

All capable young men are to show themselves in the Kings Castle within one week.
You will be given the blessing to serve in your Great Kings Army.
Those who refuse to come will be named traitors and be punished!

Hail Attus Antillian! Hail Our King! Hail the Ruler of Forest Kingdom!”

Emian grabbed Kallian from his shoulders

Emian: What will we do? This is king’s order!


Kallian answer:

1.Don’t worry uncle we will find a way out.
2.I must obey even if I don’t want to
3.I will hide in the forest. It will protect me!

Chapter One : Breaking The Silence

Kallian looked at Brondir and after few seconds he spoke

Kallian: Maybe I’m young but I decide my destiny! Now speak. Why am I here? After Kallian spoke for couple of minutes there was silence. Loud laugh came out from Brondir soon after.

Brondir the tree: You got some guts to talk to me like that boy! After saying this few words Brondr waited for some reaction from Kallian side. But the boy stood there and stare him with wide open eyes.
Brondir the tree: Well then… It would be better if you knew the truth. What you’ll do with it? It’s another matter.

Kallian didn’t spoke just waited there with ears wide open and his heart beat were rising up as he heard what Brondir had to say.

Brondir the tree: The story of this land goes way back… When this land called Wondrous Land. Living beings like me were ruling this land. This planet was created by pure magic that provided us with life and longevity. For many thousands years we all lived in harmony, maintaining the balance of life that were required by this planet. It was 5000 years before this day when your kind appeared. At first we welcomed you and treated you with respect and love like any of these land creations. But soon we saw the ugly side of your kind. The unreasonable need for power led this land into war that we couldn’t win. Our numbers was growing a lot slower than yours and the balance of this land was broken. Few of us that left made an agreement with your leader Beron Antillian.

Only by hearing this name Kallian got filled with excitement and was anxious to hear the rest of the story.

Kallian: And what happened then? What agreement you and the Great King had?
Brondir the tree: Patience boy… I see I have your complete attention now. Where was I? Oh yes! Beron… Beron Antillian. After our meeting we opened his eyes and he saw what our war had brought to the land. We had fought only for few years but the damage was too great to let it continue. To create another balance we agreed that the creatures of the past will stay in shadows. Never interfere again. On the other hand your kind will rule the land under the name of Antillian and the secret of this agreement will be transferred from one king to another.

Brondir stoped to take a good look at Kallian who stood there listening carefully every word he said.

Brondir the tree: We stayed this way almost 5000 years now, boy. But it seems the time to break the silence came. The Antillian line has been broken and the new king will use the secrets of this land and lead this planet and everyone to death.

Kallian: What you say is impossible! All our kings are chosen from the book of Bloodline. You speak of false king? You speak of secrets that can destroy us? How can you know that its true?
Brondir the tree: I wish we could trust you right away young Kallian… I personaly do! But to know all secrets that this land has you first must pass a test to prove yourself. Are you ready to do so young Kallian?

Kallian looked serius, he stood there and didn’t speak. The sun was almost up and the snow slowly starts to fall again. He looked up to the sky and opened his arms to welcome the snow and said.


What he said?

1.I liked the story. But it’s only that. Goodbye!
2.I will pass the test. If this land is in danger I’ll do my best to help!
3.I need time to think. I will return soon with the answer.

Chapter One : Breaking The Silence

Kallian was filled with mixed emotions fear and you can say excitement of what he could see and hear right in front of him.

The Tree: What’s wrong boy… Come closer… I don’t suppose you are afraid of me? (Kallian heard the tree speak again and then make a loud noise. He could swear that the tree was laughing)Kallian tried to ignore his fear and walked slowly toward the tree. Still he couldn’t believe what his eyes showed him.

Kallian: It’s a talking tree… (He thought out loud.)
The Tree: A Tree you say!? Me? I am the guardian spirit of this forest young boy! (The tree became louder)

For a second Kallian thought that he maybe should run from here. Not only he saw a talking tree but he made it mad. But then the tree lowered its voice and talked more quietly.

The Tree: But of course you couldn’t know that. I am known as Brondir the Forest Guardian. I’m happy to see you well young Kallian.
Kallian: You know me? How…? (He asked surprised that Brondir the tree spoke his name)
Brondir the tree: I remember you since you were a young boy, playing and gathering flowers here. I remember you because I am here hidden for many thousand years and you are the first human who could ever see me. (Kallian couldn’t remember seeing the tree when he was younger but everything else the tree said was true.)
Kallian: Everything you say it’s true but I have never seen you in my life. Not until now at least. Brondir the tree laughed and said
Brondir the tree: Yes I left from your memory young boy. I left because we have an agreement that last almost 5000 years now. An agreement that we made with humans
Kallian: I don’t know anything about an agreement between humans and Spirits.
Brondir the tree: Well then maybe it’s a time for you to know. But I must warn you young Kallian. Once you know the truth there is no turning back. (Kallian felt a cold air running thru his body)
Kallian: No turning back? (He asked and opened his eyes widely)
Brondir the tree: Yes. Once you hear the truth you cannot go back to your life again.

What Kallian Should say:

1.My life is too precious to me! And I cannot leave my uncle alone!
2.I am prepared to pay the cost for truth. Whatever it is!
3.Maybe I’m young but I decide my destiny! Now speak. Why am I here?

Chapter One : Breaking The Silence

Kallian was confused. Was it real or his ears playing tricks on him? After a few minutes his curiosity won and he quietly dressed and went out without causing any noise. He looked for his hand axe that was laying near the door and placed it on his belt. For some reason he chose his direction like he knew where to go. The forest was deep and dark. The snow made his path difficult but he didn’t give up. He knew this forest like his five fingers. When he was younger he used to play here alone for many hours, pretending to be a royal knight. Many thoughts where passing his mind. Why I’m here? What do I expect to find? Kallian didn’t hear the voice since he left the house. Maybe it was my imagination after all, he thought. I should return back. What if my uncle wakes up and don’t see me there. But before he could finish his thoughts he heard someone singing. It was the same voice, he was sure. Beautiful song in language that he didn’t understand, he felt warm and peaceful. Kallian walked quietly towards the voice and after hiding behind a tree he looked.
There she was. A young beautiful woman dancing and singing around the biggest tree he ever saw. 'I remembered this place, it was an opening deep in the forest' he thought. When he was little he was gathering flowers here for his mother. But this tree wasn’t here back then. And this beautiful woman whoose skin was white like snow and long white hair that gently touched the snow as she was dancing.. Who is she? With these thoughts he stood there charmed from her dance and voice. After few minutes passed, with big surprise and fear he saw the tree starting to shake and made this loud noise that was piercing his ears. With his hands he covered the ears and screamed from pain. When the loud noise stopped he heard a deep and loud voice.

Young boy… Come closer to me…

Kallian opened his eyes and couldn’t believe what he saw. The woman wasn’t there anymore. Only the three that spoke to him.

What should he do? :

1. Get up and walk towards the tree?
2. Run back and reveal everything to his uncle?
3. Run back in fear and pretend that nothing happened?

Story 1 - Wondrous Land

Wondrous Land

Our story begins in the land Concoria in the year 4050, age of Antillian. Let me begin with the known history of the land. According to king Maren's Antillian palace records, the human civilization began 5000 years before our day. The counting of years begins 50 years later, when the first King of Concoria Beron Antillian started to organize the populations of Concoria under his rule. The land went through many wars in the first 1000 years but in the end, when the great battle of Countless Death's took place, the Antillian's were named as the superior rulers of the known world.
After that year, till our days, Antillian bloodline rules the land of Concoria. Today divided in 4 Kingdoms, each of the kings are direct descendants of Beron Artillian according to the records from the Book of Bloodline. In the North, the Holly Kingdom and the ruler Maren Antillian The First. In the South, the Sea Kingdom and the ruler Kasher Antillian The Fifth. East, the Desert Kingdom and the ruler Millian Antillian. Finally west, the Forrest Kingdom and its ruler, a young prince named Attus Antillian.
According to any record i could find, this is a land without anything unusual. That was all until we can see the myths that surround the Land of Concoria. And this is of course if someone believes in myths and legends. Unwritten records show us that the history of the land goes way back, when this land was known as the Wonders Land. A time when magic and magical creatures were walking the land. The more we try to find anything about that time, if there has even been such a time, the less answers we find. That was the end of the search and the whispers about Wondrous Land until the year 5000, age of Antillian. When the story takes us to the west, in Forrest Kingdom, to little Village GreenField, where a young man called Kallian lives.

Chapter One : Breaking The Silence


This young man Kallian comes from a long line of farmers and Tree cutters. He lives in GreenField under the same roof as his uncle Emian who took care of him since he was young boy. It is a cold winter and the two of them are gathering wood at the east side of the village. Everything is so white from the snow that covers forest. As we come closer we can hear man’s voice.

Emian : Hurry up young man, we will freeze here if you don’t pick up your speed. (He spoke as he was gathering wood from the ground)
Kallian : Yes uncle. Its just... The forest seems different today, somehow... (Said the boy while staring deep in to the forest)
Emian : What is so different...? Stop that nonsense and lets hurry up. (Emian spoke and started walking towards the village)

Soon after, Kallian followed his uncle carrying wood on his back and thoughts in his mind of what he had felt before. When they got back, everyone began doing their work. They repaired some holes in the house, that was old and barely standing. Fortunately for them, they had enough food on the table and wouldn’t go hunting today. The day passed, as always uncle Emian was sitting near the fire smoking his pipe and Kallian was looking outside the window. The snow had stopped for this night, it looked that way. The sky was clean and the stars were bright. Couple ours after uncle Emian and Kallian where sleeping in the same room to be closer to the fire:

Kallian... Wake Up Boy... Kallian...

In the sound of a woman’s voice Kallian woke up. He looked around, the fire was almost burned out. His uncle was sleeping and no one else was there. That was strange he thought as he was looking around and then he tried to sleep again.

Kallian... Wake Up Boy... Kallian... Come to Me...

This time he was still awake and the woman’s voice was real. For some reason he looked outside the window toward the forest having the same strange feeling as before.

What action he must take:

1. Follow the Voice in secret from his Uncle?
2. Wake up his uncle and tell him everything?
3. Ignore the voice and sleep?
