 Once upon a time, on the outskirts of the Asturbian forest lies the village that Sebastian was raised and born, a mighty warrior and his mighty sword have done miracles for the village. The villages know him for his ability to kill a person as fast as a blink of an eye. Carrying the big sword on his back all of the time protecting his small but glorious village. It might be a small village but its beauty lies inside. With a waterfall at the end of the village with dozens of fresh fruit trees just blooming its a paradise for everyone who steps inside. But things take a huge turnaround.

Chapter 1 - Run , Run , Run


Sebastian recently just got married, it was the biggest wedding of them all with hundreds of people being there and celebrating their marriage. Their was wine, music and plenty  of food to last for 3 days of celebrations. 

The emperor who  is a tyrant has heard all the rumors about this so called "mighty warrior" and asked his best warrior. Who'm he trained for over 30 Years in the arts of the sword.

"Who is this mighty warrior I keep hearing about? "

Leonard replies, 

Well sir, he is well known for his ability to kill a man as fast as he can blink, he has defeated 8 men who have tried to take over his village, they were good swordsman. Their village is very known for their fresh fruits and beautiful landscape to grow other crops or meat.

The emperor replies

 "I don't care who he is, I want him gone. He is a liability.Oh, and take over their village"

"Put a bounty on this so called Mighty Warrior let's see how far he can get, and bring him to me alive its an  order! " He says

His best man Leonard follows the emperor's order and places the bounty to bring him alive or to have  a tip that will lead to his capture. 10 of his best warriors rush to the table get a few shots of whiskey and are trying to contemplate a plan to capture him and anyone in his village. 

Sebastian looks to the dark sky and sees a carrier pigeon. 

The pigeon swiftly goes further down, down and lies on Sebastian's shoulder. With a letter on the left leg of the pigeon. 

" Dear Sebastian, 
The Tyrant emperor of our country has put a bounty on your head. They are coming for you!
You must take your family and RUN Sebastian, RUN. 
Take care. " 


Sebastian crumbles the paper and runs to his house to find his wife. She's not there. The 10 warriors have received a tip from someone and are marching to his village. 


It's too late the tyrants have entered the Village and have taken possession on most of the people in the Village and burned their houses. Sebastian gets startled by the noise and goes outside staring  terrified of what is happening. Even with his "mighty warrior" status, he could not take 10 heavily trained , armed and protected men alone. It would've been complete suicide. 


One of the men suddenly spots him in the distance and marches his horse heavily. Wiping the horse angrily. 2 of his men follow, and Sebastian runs to his house takes his sword  and goes through the back of the house into the heavily dense , black forest. He run's , runs and runs until he looks back and sees no sign of any tyrant following his trail. He stops,  to take a deep breath and  spots a small cottage in the distance on a green plain of grass with a lake in the front of the house. Fruit trees blooming in the perfect shine upon them. Was is it a mirage due to dehydration he thinks to himself. Shaking his head he rushes towards the house, he approaches the  door and Knocks. 

Is anybody home ? " he says. 

He waited and knocked again. 

"I'm coming in, " he says.

Quietly and slowly he opens the squeaking door and looks around. There are towels and clothes on the floor, the firewood is still produced crackles of heat then he sees food on the table. Quickly closing the door behind him with his leg approaches the table and eats the best noodles he ever had. Running for over 4 hours in the dense dark forest of Asturbia without a guide it's like running in circles loosing calories and energy. 

The emperor is not happy that Sebastian has slipped away right to their fingers. He is now very angry and kills in cold blood the warrior who seen Sebastian.

" Do not let this slip away again, or someone will be next " he shouts angrily.

The 9 Men look at the " warrior " and taken a big 

 This has only done the job for Sebastian much easier. He has to make a plan to get his wife back from the tyrant's bloody hands.
