Mystery Land - Chapter 1 - The Mystery Begins



King Riley was a ruthless ruler. He ruled over the vast country of Titania with an iron hand. He was always looking to expand his kingdom and crush the neighboring states. He didn't believe in having any allies. He thought he was more powerful than any other ruler so there was no point in maintaining a truce with anyone. He wanted to conquer the whole world. And, conquer he did. For he killed millions of people and enslaved the remaining people. There was no one who could stop him or so he thought.

Sam Wrily was a simple farmer in Titania.  But, he had a truly exceptional gift. He could communicate with the Spirit World. His father had passed him this family secret before dying. Sam had concealed his gift from everyone for fear that the people might hang him for practicing witchcraft. So, he communicated with the spirits only at night when everyone else was asleep. Unfortunately, Sam had been a victim of King Riley's atrocities as well. Riley's soldiers had forcibly carried off his beautiful sister Sheila. A few days later, he had found her abandoned body near the river bank. They had cut her like a pig and murdered her brutally. Sam had sworn to take vengeance on Riley and his men. He had promised that he would not die until he had reduced Riley and his men to ashes. To fulfill his promise, he started communicating with the Spirit realm to seek their help in this endeavor.

One night when everyone was sleeping, Sam went to the graveyard to practice a dark magic. He chanted several mystical spells and after some time, dark shadows started rising out of all the graves. Sam had called upon every single spirit in the graveyard to help him. Many of the people had died because of Riley and his men. And, now the spirit of these dead men vowed to help Sam. Sam was rising an army of dead men to kill King Riley and his men.

King Riley was a man of a great physical stature. He was seven foot tall and had arms the size of tree trunks. He was a gifted swordsman, archer, and horseman. He was an expert war tactician and had knowledge of every single weapon on the planet. But, his main source of power was his magical scepter. He had made friends with some wicked Elves and had given them gold and some land to live in. In return, their evil Elf King Runal had given him a magical scepter as a gift. The magical scepter made him invisible to his enemies. King Riley had to chant a secret spell while holding the scepter to vanish. King Riley had slain many of his enemies by becoming Invisible. King Riley had kept this knowledge a secret from all mortal men. Only the evil elves knew of his secret power.

King Riley looked at the world map to plan his next siege. He saw that there was only one small kingdom in the continent left to be conquered. The name of this kingdom was The Mystery Land. It was named as Mystery Land because no person had ever set foot in this kingdom. If ever someone had ventured into this land they had never returned back to tell the tale. King Riley wondered what should be his approach in conquering this mysterious kingdom. He had sent a few messengers and scouts to this kingdom to make the King surrender. But, none of them had returned back. The king decided to send a few spies to this land to gather more information before he invaded it. He wanted to know what was in store for him before he attacked the enemy with full force.


King Riley called upon his most trusted lieutenant Abar and asked him to bring information about the Mystery Land. Abar was a decorated soldier. He had single-handedly decimated many enemy regiments. He was devoted to his King and was prepared to die for him. Abar did not favor the atrocities committed by his King, but he had vowed to fulfill his king's dream to conquer the whole world. So, he promised his King that he would not return alive without getting information about the enemy. Abar mounted his horse Swift and raced out of the King's Palace at top speed.

Abar was crossing the Dark forest to reach the Mystery Land when he was suddenly attacked by a pack of wolves. A huge gray wolf jumped on him and he fell off his horse. He drew his sword to defend himself when suddenly a white light flashed in front of him blinding his eyes. When he opened his eyes, all the wolves lay dead around him.
