Mark: When i was just a little boy my father always used to tell me stories about the great battles, knights, dragons and war.......Soldiers marching through the cities praised by crowd, young boys searching for the adventure but quickily found just sharp iron blade stabbed in their chest. kings and quens, emperors and empresses, protectors and milytary dictators.

Some of these stories were just made up by my father but some were real.   

He was one of the soldiers serving in the royal army, thats where i think he always got all of his great stories for me. He was always great father, when my mother died at birth he raised me all alone, he was always little bit cold distanced person and wasnt much at home but he always was doing everything he could for me. But one day when the war was about to end the royal captain came up to our house and he told me that my father was killed in battle, in that moment my whole world was coming apart.I had just my father and when i hawe lost him i've just lost everything. The war hawe ended and there was nowhere to go.

since then i was just lonely dreamer in a big city with nowhere to go, after few months, another war broke out, from the last one this one seemed more like a little skirmish but they needed soldiers so i've bin conscripted. I hawe fought the war till the end, gained some adventure and horryfiing images of dying soldiers and was again left without purpose. I hawe stayed in the army because it was finally place where i had bed and food. And now here im, a lonely unimportant soldier with nothing else then his uniform and duty.


The land where im is caled Alerin, its big masive continent with deserts, seas, mountains and all other beauties of nature. Curently im citizen of the Ferenian Empire, the one of the newest empires of our continent. It was formed from the southern allied kingdoms what were conected trough royal family. Im curently in one of the biggest cities of the Empire, the Adria. The era has quicky changed when the magical industrilasition came, most of the bows were replaced by pistols, horses by cars, and factory workers more and more by machines and other magical tech, but still there was really lot of this same old medival energy.

Its now exacly one year since i've been conscripted to the army,. I didn't really know where to go, what to do , I didn't even know anymore what i actually want in my life, so army was like my only beacon of light, the path that i knew , the only path that i knew........

Now im assigned as the city guard under captain McGill. The armory where im has everything i need, food, bed, and some friendly faces. I was just sitting in my room when one of my comrades came into room.

Jackson: Mark c'mon the meeting is about to start. You don't want to be late.

Mark: Yes im alredy coming.

Maybe i forgot to mention that captain McGill isn't our captain very long time, he has replaced previous captain, captain James Carver, he has been fired because of insufficient work, and some corruption. So now we hawe McGill and his far better then Carver, He immediately fired all corupted officers and started to make some changes around armory.

And now he has planned some big meeting where we will disguss some changes and new way this armory will go or something like that.

When i was walking trough the halls of armory i hawe noticed really big squads of guards marching out to the outside where the meeting is organised. McGill probably pulled almost every man here. Something really big must be going on.

Jackson: c'mon we will be late!

Mark: Im going! calm down dammit.

We hawe finally arrived to the outside just in time, McGill just left his office and he looked like he is about to start his speech.

Captain McGill: Man!

McGill yelled, everyone froze and were carefully listening.

Captain McGill: Today i hawe organised this meeting to announce that there will be some big changes around here, first of all many of personal has been fired from their positions , so expect new faces what will fill their places, i would like to finally free this armory of its corruption and finally make it what it always meant to be, the beacon of hope and protection for the people of this city, the light what will always protect the citizens of Adria from the darkest corners of our city. Be ready, we will finaly meke this city guard again working in the right direction. And today we will make first big change we will march to the Merchant Street and finally destroy Meridian gang what is threatening the administration and people of this great city and empire.

So thats why there are so many big squads, we will raid the Meridian gang, its gang that hawe been big trouble for this city since the great war, they bribe many politicians and milytary in this city, thats why captain Carver was fired, he was one of their bribed officers.

Im really suprised that we can do something like that, the gang has bribed so many officers and key figures that it shouldn't be possible to do something against them, Captain McGill must hawe some very powerful conections.

Captain McGill: Well then, city guard! March!

Many transports hawe alredy stormed the armory and we all were on our way to the Merchant street, i'v picked one seat for me and one for the Jackson.

Jakson: thanks Mark.

He tkanked me , and the transport was on its way.

Meanwhile we were weiting for it to arrive, Jackson whispered to me.

Jackson: Well thats unexpecting change.

Mark: Tell me about it.

Jackson: Im little scared, this is our first real action. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

It was true, nothing like this didn't really happened before, Carver was so much corrupted that only duty we had was most of the time just sitting in the armory when meanwhile in city the gang was robbink and killing.

Mark: It looks like we will be on these actions now loot more often.

Jackson: Yeah, captain MacGill looks like finaly someone good for this job, i think with him we will finaly make this city safe again from crime.

Mark: Well who knows, but yeah he really looks like hes gona pull it off.

The driver signaled that we hawe arrived to the Merchant Street, everyone immediatelly rushed from the transport and lined up before the gang headquaters. And captain McGill was about to give us order to enter the building.


Captain McGill: Alright man, on my mark. Charge!
