1 Erindale

in ancient times it was once said that magical beast where the rulers of earth, and men feared their power, until the third son of Ozarkh, a man full of knowledge and power, and without fear stood before the great king of the beast and challenge it with all the power he had, it was said the fight lasted for 30 days, on the great valley beyond, no one knew who had warn the battle only that, on the 30th day bothan and beast came down from the valley exhausted, and ever since then man and beast had leaved together as one, due to this, the king of the 7 kingdom granted the 3rd son of Ozarkh the greatest position in his kingdom for bringing peace between man and beast. Then after years of peace, men had began to amass power to be able to stand against beast in battle, it was then the king passed away due to an illness, and his son became king. The new king had always hated Ozarkh's son cause his father always favoured him on his son, so first thing he did was to strip him of all the title that had been bestowed on him, the king knew he could not kill him because his people wouldn't support it, so he tried to enslave the beast, because he knew how dear this magical creature were to Ozarkh's third son, the young king knew his enemy would try to defend the beast there by giving him the opportunity to kill him. this lead to a second war between man and beast, but now son of Ozarkh was with the beast fighting against his people, just has the young prince had expected.

The war lasted years, and both side lost severely, but the beast had fewer numbers to begin with so, it became apparent that if they continue waging war, all of the beast would be wiped out, so the king of beast and the third son of Ozarkh decided to surrender themselves in exchange for the freedom of the remaining magical beast. After their surrender, the young king tried to capture the rest of the beast but failed to capture all of them, still he was happy he had capture his enemies. little did he know that, the beginning of a prophecy he had choose to neglect, had already began to manifest. prophecy had talked about a new bloodline of king arising from the bloodline of the strongest, to once again bring light to the kingdom in its time of its darkest hour. This was the prophecy and the young king thought it was the perfect opportunity to eliminate his enemy. Everyone knew the third son of Ozarkh was the strongest man, and the prophecy was about him, no one could blame or stop the king from doing what he wanted if he or she didn't want to share the same fate as the king's enemies.

Not everyone was in support of what the king was doing, but no one had the power to stop him. when the third son of Ozarkh was eliminated, there was a period of celebration in the palace, and that of mourning among the people, Erindale was one of them, it was the home of the Ozarhks. Even the third son of Ozarkh grew up in Erindale before moving to the capital, when he became popular in the capital, so did little Erindale. Now everyone was trying to acquire power and land, so the king did the best thing he could to pacify those that had help him by giving each a powerful beast to bond with. Men had since learn how to bond with magical beast and subjugate then to harness their power. Men with beast were ten times more powerful than ordinary men, which was why this gift was alluring, the more beast bonded to you the more power you will have and it also depend on what kind of beast are bonded to you, two weak beast would not even make you has strong as having a strong beast, so when the king promised strong beast to them, all that contributed to the king's success were happy.

when others saw how useful and powerful the beast could be, men began hunting down magical beast and enslaving them. This went on for thoueightnd years, many king's came and went, many wars were been fought, soon the 7 kingdom under the king soon separated to form a kingdom each. They are the Alavyae of the south, Brownstone of the west, Rosthock of the North, Erindale of the East, Brigdeswhale of the water tribe, Elvyner of the forest people, Aragathr the land of the dwarves. The last and 8th was Kingsriver the land of the kings. All eight kingdoms were always at war with each other, it was only recently a peace treaty was agreed between the 8 leaders, and the only way to settle this was by holding a peaceful competition and the winner would have the right to take the throne of dragons, and rule over the rest of the kingdom for a year, which meant that the kingdom on the throne of dragons gets 30 percent of the resources of every other kingdom, over the years, all the 8 kingdom had sat on the throne at one point in time, but for the past five years kingsriver had been on the throne of dragons because of their strongest fighter Prince Viktor, it was said that he had bonded with 3 beast, which was the highest to have been recorded, since the third son of Ozarkh was also able to bond with three beast as well, Viktor was the second person to archive such feat. There was also rumour that a dragon was among his beast, no knows how to true that was, because dragons were the strongest beast to bond with, and it has never happened before to bond with a dragon because the last Dragon that was seen was thousands of years ago and it had long been dead. This brings us to our unfortunate heroe, Max Thornbrigde, a sixteen year old boy, who lives in Erindale, son of William and Mary Thornbrigde, with dashing red hair and blue eyes, with broad shoulders, being the son of a famous blacksmith, in town he was the attention of every girl in town and envy of every boy in town, because of his muscular build, no boy would pick a fight against him, Max was never bullied, even though he knew how to use the sword he and his father make, he never showed it.

Max had been saving to buy a beast from a local black market in town, the reason was because most of the boys in town were already bonded to a beast, he felt useless to them,the reason why they had not used their power to bully him was because of the law in Erindale which penalize anyone who uses beast power to attack someone who doesn't. Max was happy to have saved enough to buy a beast from the black market. He was already on his way there when an old man stopped him, " hey, you must be Max son of William the blacksmith " Max looked at the old man curiously before replying. " yes and who are you" the old man smiled, " no need to know how I am, here take this, its yours now, you have a tough journey ahead of you, that thing belongs to you now, you can't dispose of it, my advice is to use it, and wisely at that, because there are those that would kill you if they know who you really are, go ahead and get your second beast, remember choose the yellow stone. The old man vanished before Max eyes, if not for the bag in his hand he would have thought he was dreaming so he stood their to think of his next step.
