Chapter 1 - Where it all began...

Alexander put his hand forward"On your feet, little brother," he said, his voice calm, steady like always.

Arthur looked up at him, dirt on his cheek, breath heavy from the fall. For a moment, he saw the sun behind his brother's head, casting a golden halo that didn't belong.

He took his brother's hand.

That was before the lies. Before the gods. Before the war.

Back then, Arthur still believed that the world was a wonderful place.

In the blink of an eye ten years had passed.

It felt like only yesterday when the boy still reached for his brother's hand.

Arthur now older now stood tall with a sword by his side.

He was deeply saddened as his father the king was about to pass very soon.The man who raised him and his brother.

Come forth… before death takes my tongue.The old King said "Both of you."

They came closer.

"The gods… watch you now," he whispered. "But they are not what they seem. One will carry the fire… the other, the flame's price."

Alexander expression after hearing changed from one of worry for his father to a look of determination.

At that moment the old King gave Arthur a necklace,He said "This once belonged to your mother. She wanted me to give this to you my son".

Arthur took the necklace from his father's hands. He said "I will cherish this as long as I live father"

Some weeks later the king had passed.

As Alexander was older he was thought to be more capable for the throne.

The crown had barely touched his brow before the he started The Search.

No one knew what he was even looking for.

Alexander had become a total monarch.

The nobles bowed lower. The soldiers stiffened like statues. No one dared speak.

In the courtyard, the banners of the old king were torn down. The people whispered the new king's name like a curse.

As days passed Alexander became more cold till one fateful day.

Alexander called Arthur to the field ironically this was the same place where Alexander had reached out his hand.

Arthur said with disdain in his eyes "brother why are you doing this do you want the kingdom to come to ruins"

Alexander expression was stern he said " have you ever fealt them?"

Arthur shouted " FEALT WHAT? WHY ARE YOU EVEN DOING THIS?"

Arthur had so many questions but not one was answered.

Alexander took a deep breath and said" In this world there are people whose power are unimaginable. These powers have many names but the most common name would be impulses. The deepest,darkest desire of man."

" To the south there is a blind priest go and find your desire then come for the throne. From this moment on your are exiled from this nation ."
