A father from Argos, blacksmith, lost his wife to the twins deliver so he had to raise his children alone. A boy named Wonk and a girl named Bella. From their baby age he had them with him, literally everywhere he was, so it was really natural that both of these children would master blacksmithing from really low age. Bella love to craft shields and Wonk javelins. Their father was so proud of them, his children was all his life, seeing them master blacksmithing was both a sorrow and pride, but thatâs the best he could do and knowing that he had a family was all he needed!
Children felt the void of the mother, they were searching her face in every other mothers face. So when a woman was approaching the blacksmith shop they were running to her for a warm hug. This was the most difficult thing to suffer for the poor wife less blacksmith. But he was still in love with his poor Artemis, a beautiful hyborian woman, with big sky blue eyes and lips like strawberry. No other woman could match her⊠never, above all her kindness and big heart was making her an Angel in earth. So it was impossible for him to ever love another woman, no matter how much his children needed a mother.
Bella on the other hand was exactly like her mother, like 2 drops of ice spring water, looking at her becoming a little lady was keeping his fire alive for his poor Artemis.
When his children became 18 years old they went to the village tournament to gain a reward of becoming adults in their community. It was a custom of this little community, every man and woman had to present him-her self in front of a green hatchling and defeat it.
Bella showed up with a shield and Wonk with a javelin!Everybody started laughing since their weapon choice was poor!
Wonk was a really strong young man, handsome and all the girls of the village was crazy about him. When he listened everyone laughs he tossed his armor away and stayed with his linen cover only. Bella did the same, her curves shocked the rest laughing audience. What they did was crazy, but the most crazy was that they asked the hatchling to be released from the chains. Everyoneâs blood was frozen in the arena, but above all the poor blacksmith had to watch âTHISâ. His family was in great danger but he couldnât do a thing, it was the custom, the ones that would defeat the hatchling unchained would gain leading rights in this small community. The leader of the village, a fat coward who loved Artemis and couldnât win her heart but the blacksmith did, was rubbing his hands. It was time to revenge the blacksmith for it and without secong thought he said ârelease the chainsâ. His whole inside was laughing making his belly bounce from joy! He was happy to see the younglings of the blacksmith slaughtered from the green hatchling, after all they had no armor and their weapon choice was poor.
The young ones fought like lions and the hatchling was defeated! All the villagers were praising and calling their names, but the leader was not happy! So he stopped the cheering blaming them that they used poison to defeat the hatchling! Wonk went upset and aimed his javelin just to scratch his cheek saying⊠I donât see you die from poisoning? All the arena went frozen and Bella broke this silence with words that literally shattered her fathers heartâŠ
âMe and my brother will go to the exile lands and escape this prison using just these 2 weapons, nothing elseâ
The whole village turned eyes now straight to the leader. He became a leader because he managed to escape the exile lands. Nobody knew that he lurked to the chaos mouth and slaughter with backstabbing another brave exile to steal his keystone and escape these lands. He was a coward rat bastard nothing else. But he knew, these weapons were not enough for something like it!
He knew, these kids would be stupid enough to fight the monsters of this punishing world without proper gear. He knew that these lands would become their eternal exile⊠So how handy that was? He said without second thoughtsâŠ
If at least one of you return from these lands i will give the rights of leadership and a final fight for it⊠With me!
He was so sure (so stupid) that these younglings would never return from these landsâŠ
The young ones at once asked from the leader to call the Argos guards and lead them to the exile lands. The leader fabricate a story, good enough to send them there, he was a coward criminal after all it wasnât so difficult to think of something!
The last memory of the children will be the sorrow in the eyes of their father. A sorrow that they decided to weaponize for a fast return and a promiseâŠ
My daughter, you look like your mother Artemis, why? What i have done wrong my child? Why should i loose my heart again? Wonk answered, Bella couldnât because she just understood her mistake!
Father i promise you and this promise will give me strength all the way, Bella will return no matter what! Bella looked her brother saying, little brother you will return because i am watching your back, little clumsy boy, i was borned first and watch your back all these years. Wonk laughed and turned to his fatherâŠ
See father? No reason to worry and he laughed. For a minute they forgot what was coming, all of them hugged as one with tears in their eyes filled their hearts with strength only Crom gives. The Argos soldiers arrived and took the young ones to the exile cross road. Now the journey beginsâŠ
Will these young ones make it?
For @fito and @Talyna!
These outstanding members triggered my imagination for role play more than anybody else in here! Both of them encourage me to create a mini story before a big challenge and this is my poor effort to say THANK YOU to them!
Poor @Wonka doesnât not know until now that he is Wonk and he will join Bella in this mission . I really hope youâll say yes my friend, but Bella must return to her father nonetheless, she promised, so what say you?
My dearest Community of players in this forum! I donât seek your hearts, i seek your imagination to help me and hopefully Wonka (cross fingersđ) to create a decent challenge equal to âimpossibleâ to be done and make this little story interesting and challenging enough for both of us. This time i will wait for your opinions - suggestions before i start or we start. For sure Wonk will use only javelins and Bella only shield. No armors just fiber clothing.
SoâŠ
Make it more challengingâŠ
I beg you!
THANK YOU!
