After the failed invasion of Spurta, and the subsequent retaliation by the minotaur armies, Ozylandura was left as a prince without a kingdom. When he found ancient writings about a place deep within the desert - a place which the Old Gods had built centuries ago - he knew that it was where he could find the power to take back what was rightfully his.
After thirty long years, his search is about to come to an end.

A very interesting tale, very thought-provoking, and I am truly sorry that I chose to read it now, when I don't have time to give a more thought-out comment. I'll give it another read tomorrow when I get off work, Pinkie Promise
I liked this. I liked it quite a bit.
And incomplete? Nice. I really hope to see more of this, very well balanced, at no point did I suspend my disbelief and this is a very engaging beginning. I really like this look we have into Ozylandura's past and present. Not too much, not too little. Definitely worthy of a first place.
An ominous way to end things...
That was not at all how I expected you to end this. Hum.
