Story of a journey

[Ivan]

Years have passed since i took my first steps outside the woods, that day changed my life. I was just a foolish kid who ran too far away from the camp and got caught by orcs, for days they kept me caged and were preparing a feast. On the seventh night i was too starving to fall asleep, thats when i started hearing screams of the orcs. I passed out while i was dragged out of the cage by the orcs. They were most likely trying to use me as hostage to get away. Next morning i woke up to smell of ribs being cooked. When i opened my eyes i saw a beautiful lady in shining robes and bluish armours sitting next to my bed. She pushed a cooked rib into my hand, stood up and walked out of the door without saying a thing. I never saw my saviour again.

Years passed on and i learned to live in the city, i lived on the steeds and did any job i could just to get some food. Later i started realising that it was not way of a beggar that my life was ment to be and i started traveling as i was a young man and thought i was invulnerable i did not fear anything that came across on the road. As a traveler i learned how to fight and how to hunt things, first small ones lizardmen, orcs anything i could scavenge few coins for food. I found out it was way more profiting than i thought and i started striving for bigger monsters and larger challenges.

Soon i found myself infront of a corpse of stone giant, even though it felt like impossible task to kill such evil monster with a halberd, i had done it. After that i understood that there was no way to go further from there, it was the best i could do with my skills.

I had barely started searching for something new to achieve when imperials started attacking britain aggressively, everyday i saw the same massacre and no one was stopping it. Order of law just backed down simply from the scene as they couldnt match their enemies. I saw an imperialist threathening a simple merchant, i could not hear him speaking but i understood one thing that person was frightened and being threathened by that imperialist. Thats when i chose to take up my arms and defend the city with all my might. We fought many fights against the imperials with the order, sometimes we were pushing them out of the city and making them retreat, sometimes way around. Then came that fateful day when i found myself alone in middle of the city, imperialists had over ran the city and surrounded me. There was no way out of that situation, that day i gave up my weapon and armours and left the city and never returned.

My will to fight and protect was slain by being abandoned into teeths of the imperialists, i hid into the furthest corner of the realm i could find and rested there for years while training to be stronger and thought daily should i return to those wicked lands.

The day came and i made my return, whole place was rebuilt and everything was totaly new for me. I had honed my skills in the solitude and i started hunting for money, didnt take long i had more than i needed.

Something was still missing from the place i didnt feel myself comfortable in such peace and harmony. Soon i started seeing the corruption that lived withing that dreamful peace and harmony, i couldnt stand it. I left the town as swiftly as i had returned there, i started traveling again.

On the road i met one of these "priests" whitecoated ones that pledged their faith to justice itself. He was more crooked than any man i had seen, he had absolutely no backbone and relied totaly on his faith and powers of his god. That day i killed first monster in the clothes of human and i was labeled as a murderer. As an outlaw i had to find my ways of surviving, i was constantly chased by the whitecoats. Soon i found myself in front of a leader of certain guild, that offered me a safe haven on one condition, i had to join their group not as a memeber but as part of the family. They taught me many things, they were like family to me even though our way of living was a bit shady as robbers.

Soon i noticed my "family" taking a turn that made me jump off the boat, they started being too friendly to people who were as horrible as those protectors of justice. From that day on i've been mostly hiding and only aiding my friends in their battles.


I am Ivan and this is story of my journey.

I've now completed my training for good and i shall be returning into the battles once more. This time more fierce than i've ever been and i shall warn you i will also be more deadly than i've ever been.
