Hi there, before you ask. Yes, I am new to this forum. I figured after posting my introduction I would post the storyline of a series I am undertaking. I figured, if you know what I am writing than it will give an insight to who I am. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
The stories protagonist, Setharos [Yeah I know, I don't like thinking of new names so use them over], starts off as a slave. His father who was once an assassin disappeared through unknown circumstances, and his mother soon after fell sick. To pay for her, Setharos gets sold to a man who is a rather important figure.
The Story actually starts off at a gladiator game. Held by the king in which whoever wins will obtain the place of being the head of the king's guard (there is history behind that). While trying to find a drink for his master, Setharos gets knocked into the ring and forced to fight. Through luck, and his father's shoes (Assassin's shoes, blades which can come out from the tip at the click of the heels) he defeats his opponent but being to young he could not be the king's head guard, however, he is put into his army to be trained to be trained as his guard for the future. After the battle, he meets a girl who he soon falls for, but he is forced to leave the city and her behind.
After two years of training he proves himself worthy enough to be in the king's guard but that is not what he wants. He travels to the north where mythical creatures, Avaddons, rule and are scarcely hunted as only few humans have defeated them. on a patrol, his entire group dies and he is left to fight for himself, he kills one and stumbles upon a steel lodged into the ground, he soon takes it back with him and gets it made into a sword for him. The sword starts to give Setharos powers, he can move quicker and his hits with it seem to be stronger than he usually could deal. Though he soon realizes this sword is not a blessing, but it is a curse. His body starts fading, turning him into a ghostlike being, though he still looks human he starts becoming invisible. With a new war waging between the eastern and western kingdoms, both kings want to use his new found power against each other but he does not want it. Arriving back at the city in which the gladiator games were held he meets back up with the girl, who soon becomes his reason to turn back. Desperately trying to stop this from completing he learns of an oracle who can possibly help him. But the king does not want him to leave, using his new love against him forcing him to fight. He fights in a battle against the eastern kingdom and defeats the king allowing him to find the oracle. He soon finds her and learns of the land's past. Why a wall stands with a gate which cannot be opened to the east, and how the steel was used by the gods when they walked on the land to torture those who did bad things, binding them to walk the land without making contact with anyone. The oracle tells Setharos that he must die to free himself from the curse,that he might be brought back. He does so.
