1 The Beginning Of Struggle
Will's POV:
'These voices-',I was sitting on the poor wooden bench in an empty room wrapping a white torn cloth around my right hand when this thought was cut by the rough knocks on the door.
"Its time" the voice came clear but in an unfriendly way.
I stood up with a deep sigh, walking out of the door then straight down the alley which was pitch black and a provided a bright opening at the end.
"The time for which you all have been waiting has come to its end. "this was the signal for me to start walking out of the bright opening. This was normal but a sight to behold, a large arena with mud as footing and a high sitting arrangement where the people were screaming and cheering to see nothing but blood.
"As you all know our champion the DEVILS RIGHT HAND -" the announcer spoke like a well speaker. "but this time he cannot stand easy as his opponent haunts the mind of those who caught even a glimpse of him, the HUNTER GOBLIN" he said by aiming his hands towards the opposite side of me.

(the hunter goblin is head of the tribe. It can surely take down at least 10 goblins on its own.)
(A goblin has equal dimension as a human but is slightly more powerful whereas a hunter goblin is double sized than a normal goblin and is far greater in strength when compared with its size)
This is the first time i will fight a monster of this level. A man came to hand me with a shield circular in shape and a spear. " now let the match commence" said the speaker with his hands shutting down. The gate started to open slowly, when it was not even the half way there that creature came out bursting towards me. I deflected his forceful dash with the shield taking some as i also slide back, i thought to myself that now its my turn. I took a heavy step as if jumping all the way towards him then struck out the spear and pushed at him, in that mere moment he stepped in to the right of my face. Leaving the spear stuck in the ground i used the shield to drive a heavy uppercut connecting to his chin. He backed down with several of jumps, while i was taking my spear out of the ground. With all the might in my hand i threw the spear into his face, just when it was about to hit him in the eye he shook his head out of the way and took a grave bite onto the long wooden handel of the the spear, shattering it into two pieces and spat out the small rumble. He gave a loud cry in a roar as if asking me to come head on. I gave him a little grin seeing his insensible but warrior like attitude, leaving the shield out of my hand as it dashed on the ground.
As usual the left hand of mine got loose, like a useless flesh tied on my body but at same an immense amount of morale started to coagulate in my right developing a lethal force.

( In this world the surrounding contains morale which is used by living things to manifest, control and manipulate the laws and elements of nature)
(One can only harness morale energy when he/she has gone through hardships and enough physical training)
(Types of using morale usage:
1. Elemental
2. Raw morale
3. Complex spells
4. Time & Space
5. Sealing
6. Support)
(the most easy way is to use raw morale and a lot of morale is also wasted when used, so none of the fighter ever try to use morale in its raw form)
Now the goblin started dashing towards me, i stood there holding my stance just when he was about to come in range i drive my right hand into his torso to provide a deadly blow at the most optimum time. My hand ripped his chest and came out of the back, he was dead on spot. I pulled out as my hand was gushing red, the crowd screaming all over and the dead body lying on the muddy floor spilling blood around my footsteps. "now as expected of our champion, this 12 year old kid never misses to astonish our guest" he spoke like an appraisal was delivered with annoyance hidden inside. " as he have succeeded to defeat his death trial he shall be awarded with thirty whips on his back" he gave me a grin with a dirty smile. For me it has become a routine or what can you expect from the life of a slave. The guards came to take me between the two poles and tied my hands from the ropes which were hanging from them. I was thinking only if i could get freedom i would be able to live a normal life, without this torture, without these useless creatures, without these bondages. Just when the guard was about to hit me a man with a black cape stood up and said "STOP!!". The owner of mine, that brown baldy with his fat tummy and face said " what is the problem you bastard? " in an annoyed way. The man with that black cape whom i can't even see the face of said " I would buy this boy's freedom. I would give a hundred -" he was cut by my owner saying " A mere hundred silver pieces won't be enough to buy a prodigy like him"

( 1000 copper coins = 1 silver coin
1000 silver coins = 1 golden coin)
Even though my owner bought me for couple of silver coins i don't think anyone would give more than fifty silver coins to buy me. " golden coins" said the man in black cape." you are lying " said the owner in a confused way as if he doesn't believe what his ears heard. The man in black cape took a pouch out of his pocket and threw towards the greedy man." untie him" the man in black cape ordered the guard. Some of the people were wondering what is happening in front of them and the other were complaining that he should not pay such a big amount for no reason. There were many thoughts in my mind like why is he going to such lengths for me, what is his identity, why buy freedom for me rather than having me for himself.
Owner walked up to me to remove the soul penalty contract. I don't know what feeling were emerging within me suspicion, gratefulness or to wait for the hazard that generally strikes when you are at the peak of happiness.
Information available for readers
( soul penalty contracts are signed by a specific morale spell, its not that much of a hard spell anyway when one person is not resisting. Slaves are held captured, so they don't resist anyway.
Under the effect of this spell the slave must abide to the command of owner and will face death the moment he fails to do so.
Soul penalty contract is one of the forbidden spell )
I was given my freedom in a very unexpected way. The man in black cape was standing at a distance couple of yards away from me. Before i could muster up anything to say he said " i want you to grow stronger my friend 'cause there will be time in the near future when you will understand the gravity of your existence. For now i will only say nobody should see the mark on your shoulder."

He left with his words hitting my head hardly.

Hayzel Hemsworth's POV :
I was in my room packing some essentials when Irina asked " may i come in my lady?" while giving a gentle knock on the door. "Yes" i replied while continuing the work.
"Do you really want to go?" she asked while trying to hide her worries. I said " if brother lucas is going then what's the harm in me tagging along with you guys". I was thinking that i shouldn't be ceased just because i am a girl. I won't be bother cause i can manifest water and am wiser for twelve year old kid, Irina is top class sealing and elemental mage and we also have uncle Charles with us. If you talk about me i haven't seen a better swordsman than him.
Irina Martyr's POV:
Going outside the walls isn't safe for a child whose never been in an actual combat. Lucas is going to take enrollment in STOMFORD ACADEMY next year, and as a royal he should be ahead of the normal students and that's the only reason for him to understand how real life threatening situations are. Leaving these thoughts out of my mind i said " its time for your sword practice my lady". "yeah lets go" she replied in an obvious way.
While we were approaching the training facility where soft grass petals kissed our foots and fresh air started embracing us because of the open area, Charles and lucus were already having a spar with noting but wooden swords. Seeing me and Hayzel there Charles called of the match. " Lucus we have to go tomorrow morning so don't go out of your way for training" i gave him an advice as a strict teacher would. "yes mam!!" he complied in loud and obedient way.
Lucus POV:
Ever since we came to our senses Charles and Irina were there with us. Being the prince its normal for me to start training beforehand hence it was my twelfth birthday when it all started and now i have completed a whole two years of training.

(a total of five kingdoms are there each with high wall boundaries providing an area for peaceful living as outside of the walls there are demons, monsters and everything which can try to kill a human. Some of the barbarians and illegal merchants stayed outside the wall in a small human settlements to live the life as they wanted)
Will's POV:
Without having a precise goal i was wandering in the local market of the local settlement. Randomly looking here and there i saw a black cape hanging at the corner of a shop. Moving near to the the shopkeeper i said " how much for that cape?". He replied " i was going to put it in the garbage, if you want you can just take it". The old man seen to be good person so i thought i could gather some information for the journey ahead.
