╭── ✰ ──╮
A rippling sob escaped the old man’s lips as he cradled the limp body in his arms. Raising one shaky hand, the great and powerful man stroked the fiery hair of his once bright and lively companion. Trembling lips pressed an unsteady kiss to her forehead, skin like ice without the warmth it once held. Had he allowed this to happen? Had his own selfish pursuit of riches, power, and might caused the death of his one love, the only one he'd ever truly given himself too?
“Oh, my dear love, I’m so sorry,” He crooned, trembling hands wiping blood from the lips of his lifeless partner. “I will avenge you,” he promised in a trembling voice, pressing his lips one last time to his queen’s, then slowly standing, a fierce look of determination finding its way onto his aged face. He'd find who'd done this. He'd ensure they too felt the despair he had experienced. The wizened old man would break them, as they had broken him.
In another land, a shadowy figure stood silently before his master, head bowed. “Yes, my lord,” He rasped in his soft voice, “I understand.” Straightening up, the cloaked male’s glowing violet gaze locked onto the coal gaze of his master. “I will do as you have asked. I will keep them from reaching you.” Earning a nod from his regal lord, the beast gave one last bow, then turned on his heel, slipping silently from the massive throne room. He had a job to do, and he had no choice but to complete it, despite his despair at doing so. And he always completed his jobs, no matter the cost.

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖆𝖓𝖊𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕾𝖍𝖆𝖉𝖔𝖜 ࿔₊•
The kingdom of Rular’s beloved queen has been assassinated by a mysterious man known simply as “The Shadow”. The king, in his grief and fury, promises to avenge his lover's death and protect his youngest daughter from harm. In order to do so he creates a motley group of criminals, knights, magicians, and peasants to one day bring justice and an end to the king's bitter hate. Their task?

Capture the Shadow and bring the Queen's murderer to face judgement before the King.
The strange group of heroes must traverse the continent in search of the King’s enemy and bring him to justice. However, the path is riddled with dangers. Beasts of all shapes and sizes lurk in the shadows. Men and women hold predjudice and anger. Some strange entity seems hell-bent on their failure. And, most importantly, it seems as if this strange crew cannot get along, consistently bickering with one another. Despite their differences, can they unite with one another and work well enough as a team to succeed at their task? Or will the group fail, and bring upon themselves the king's wrath?
In order to summon these strange heroes, the King sends out letters, his humble followers delivering his words to the men and women he has summoned. The letter is vague, and says simply this;


”Greetings,
You have been summoned to the castle of Rular to have an audience with the king on the third day of the week in the sixth month of the year. Failure to respond to these summons will result in death.”

Sealed with the King’s ring and delivered by knights, our heroes have no choice but to respond to the man’s call. Soon, the day comes and they begin their journey towards the castle to meet the King, unsure of their fates. This is where our tale will begin.
