In a prosperous rich kingdom that is furthest north, just at the foot of mountains that touch the heavens, that are as cold as they are tall and dangerous as an arrow to the skull along with being home to many beasts such as elves, yetis, and other mystical creatures there is ignorance. The continent of which the kingdom is situated on almost runs down in a straight line making the continent longer than it is wide. The kingdom being situated on the most northern side of the continent for 300 years made it's citizens unaware of what else lies beyond those frozen mountains that act as walls blocking their sight of anything new.
300 years can really take a toll on available resources. The king had decided that an expedition party should be set out to make a trail through the giant frozen pillars of stone and to explore more lands along with more resources. Although the citizens being sceptical about the safety of whomever chose to leave the kingdom the king had announced that it was indeed a crisis for the kingdom if newer resources were not discovered. And so, a large group of experienced fighters, mages and healers volunteered to venture beyond the mountains that had kept their people in isolation from the rest of the continent. So began the first party.
The first party managed to slay any beast that got in their way and pushed forward. They had marched a great 20 kilometers before the unthinkable happened. A new beast that they had never seen before had appeared. The beast was unheard of and undocumented so the party had no clue how to deal with it. After a monster had been slayed it was to be documented and studied, but unfortunately for the travelers this beast comes from unknown territory thus it was an unnamed creature. It walked on all fours with glowing red eyes,teeth the size of an arm and the height of an average sized cottage. This wolf like beast charged at the group. Soon after a messenger crow had been set out to inform the kingdom that all the party members had been killed. The crow spoked words of sorrow and grief as it informed the king about the failed expedition.
After hearing such troublesome news the king had to play his trump card, a man who had been attempting to scale the mountains ever since he was a child. Trying to go Beyond the mountains was a crime and he was in jail most of his life until he had broken out 5 times to try again, and get caught again. It was until the king had noticed and given the boy a chance to enroll in the army's forces. The boy excelled in broom flying, his ice magic along with his physical capabilities. He was the kings last hope. In his service to the kings army he had saved over a 1000 lives from beasts, granting him a spot in the kings royal guard which protected the king directly. Even when faced with elite level beasts he hadn't broken a sweat, he was so talented, so skilled, so unreal, that he was considered a myth.
The king ordered that another party was to be put out and for the myth himself to go, he had finally gotten exactly what he wanted. To be free. And so the myth along with another 49 skilled adventures set out to explore the hidden world that the kingdom doesn't know about. The adventures had traveled 60 km, more than double of what the last party had traveled, the party celebrated whilst walking as they were all so cheerful that they had a living legend travel with them, any beast that appeared was swiftly dealt with by the skilled legend. Although, even legends can fall, the group learned this as a dragon swooped down to strike the myth to the ground, that same night the king received another crow with the same shocking news.
This time the citizens opposed the kings idea of sending out another party, morale was low but so was the kingdoms resources. With the failure of two expeditions almost nobody volunteered to adventure beyond the mountains. This time it had only been 23 adventures which only compiled of cocky snobs and nobles who had been on a high horse their entire lives. These nobles felt obligated to teach the peasants how it should be done and that is what went through their heads. But faith is not always different at times. Only reaching 57 kilometers the nobles were ambushed by a horde of goboins, a crow had not been taken with the party has the nobles had denied it and stated that they shall report back to the king themselves.
All of the nobles had been wiped out, all except for one, a little girl with a flower that rested on her ear, she had been saved by none other than the legend. The man dragged her into a little bush to hide from the blood thirsty green goblins, after the area was cleared they came out from their safe bush.
Myth : that sure was close, they could've killed us too.
Girl : did you just put your hands on me.
Myth : yes
Girl : what do you mean yes?
Myth : i was answering your question
Girl : ugh anyways do you have a name
Myth : yes
Girl : well what is it! I'll start, i am Maria Dienes, daughter of Parrel Dienes.
Myth : ahhh a noble, well i am Zel, the legendary myth who saved over a thousand lives
Maria : am i supposed to know who that is.
Zel : yes damn it I'm legendary
Maria : for a peasant you sure are cocky
Zel : quiet
Maria : excuse me
Zel : somethings coming
Maria : from where
Just from behind them a giant ape like creature with immense power leaped to strike maria, Zel had got it in the way to protect her taking the blow, Zel had been launched away by the blow. The beast tried striking one more time at maria but was stopped, Zel had quickly struck the beast down with a ranged attack launching an ice spear right into it's chest.
Maria : thank you for that but i had it all under control
Zel : sure, mind giving me a hand getting back up
Maria : you look horrible, when's the last time you ate (sniff sniffs) or took a bath
Zel : will you help me or not.
Maria : you're in no shape to be... Ahh!
Just at that moment a dragon had swooped in and taken both of them, Zel being too hurt to do anything, and maria not having her bow, they was nothing they could do. The dragon carried the two for days, even weeks, they had been starved and exhausted. Finally the dragon dropped the two of them in its nest, the dragon had carried the two all the way to the south of the continent.
Maria : where are we?
Zel : your guess is as good as mine
Maria had dragged Zel away from the nest, luckily the dragon wasn't at home. The two had been stranded in the south, an area they know nothing about, will they get back home, or lose their lives trying, either way the myth is in no shape so it's up to maria to rescue him, and so begins their tale.
Maria : that dramatic ending for the chapter was so lame.
Hey! No it wasn't
Zel : Anyways see you soon.
