You stand breathless as you approach the castle, it's spire pierce the skies like arrows in battle. This is The Emberstorm Castle, where the king lives all alone without a queen. You don't know why he has called you from your small town of Falcon's Reach. Why would he pick you out of all of the people within the small port town to do his bidding. This idea made you think far beyond what you have ever thought before. The endless possibilities of what Dreygor Emberstorm would want. You haven't ever heard that he is an unjust king, but he tends to be cranky sometimes. The horse you are on was provided by one of the local guardsmen, who was obviously ordered by the king to do so. Slowly the horse trots toward the large gates of Emberstorm Castle, bird chirp softly like a flute playing a song. "Open the gates", a guardsman shouts atop of the gate. Many horns sound as you and your horse stride through the gates. As you pass the nearby castle-folk many of them bow to you, almost as if you were royalty. This is so strange, it's almost like a dream you think to yourself. Each clop toward the castle gets louder, blocking the other sounds from reaching your ears. Is this just your heart beat, or is it the fact that you are scared and maybe aren't right for this job.The horses ninnies and neighs indicate that the horse is tired, just in time in fact. It's final clops leave you at the front gate of the castle. You step down from your horse and enter the castle. The king sits on his throne waiting for you...
