Welcome readers to my first ever tale! I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I've enjoyed creating it, just sit back and relax as I tell you The Legend of the Human.

Argus always loved the night sky, something about it always seemed beautiful and mysterious to him. As he stood on the balcony lost in thought he let his gaze drift to the north, to the Cursed Mountains. Of course Argus knew they weren't really cursed but there is still evil in those mountains, it is were the necromancers live and practice their dark magic. The very thought of them made Argus' blood boil with anger. They had been launching raiding parties against the city for weeks. Attacking in the dead of night, taking people from their homes never to be seen again. Now usually something would be done about them but since they are only targeting the poor district the nobles voted against fighting them. The people in the poor district are useless to them anyway, besides they wouldn't be missed anyway. Thieves and cut-purses, the lot of them. Fed up with the nobles he joined The Order so that he could fight the necromancers and save those he could. His father disapproved of course, you see when one joins The Order they give up everything and that includes titles.

"I guess father will have to find a new heir to the throne" Argus said out loud to nobody in particular. 

"Yes he will" came a voice from behind him. Caught of guard he instinctively grabbed one of his blades, spun around and put the blade up to the neck of however startled him. What he saw was the face of his mentor staring back at him. 

"A little on edge are we?" he said, a slightly amused expression on his face. 

"You really shouldn't sneak up on people like that" Argus put his blade back on his back and leaned against the balcony railing. The sound of laughter came from inside. Argus looked behind his mentor and saw food being served on the huge table and the nobles taking their seats. 

" Look at them. All of them. Laughing joking, having fun. You'd imagine we weren't getting attacked on a near nightly basis. Ugh we should be out there in the streets watching for signs of trouble but instead we are playing security at a damn party!"

His mentor then turned to look into the main room. 

"Ha well you know the nobles they can't eat in peace unless they know they are protected" 

"Ha ha ya I guess that's true". The nobles started to clap signalling that the king was about to give a speech.

"Well time to listen to listen to your father talk Argus." He then walked into the main room. 

"Oh this will be entertaing" Said Argus sarcastically as he followed closely behind his mentor.

Meanwhile the necromancers were getting ready for another attack....
