My Book

Okay everyone, I think it is time to tell you the point of why I am doing all of this; the blog, the pictures and the title. Well I'd like to start with one of the books I am working on. It is about a Melvian 16 year-old human boy named Maxwell. When his father is murdered and his city razed by the skeletons, Max sets out on a quest with an Elven Princess named Kaera, another human named Erik and later Samuel the Faun. They embark into dangerous lands to find how his city was attacked so quickly and unexpectedly. Here is a sneak preview of the Introduction... enjoy!



Introduction

001 B.B.D.
A long time ago in a peaceful land far away there was a king and his son. The king known as Belgasia the Creator and ruler of all was a fair and powerful king, so powerful in fact that he was a god, not just one of your average every day gods but a true god. His son known as Prince Augustus De Ravenous was a quiet non-social boy possessed with extraordinary intelligence, who Belgasia adopted and called his own. He also acted as Belgasia’s apprentice learning magic, knowledge and the way of the universe. For a millennium they ruled their people, other wise called the Belgasians who believed the peace must stay and vowed never to fight other countries. And of course why would they need to? They had everything they could ever want. For years their plan lead them in up rise but then suddenly the great nation vanished, never to be seen or heard of again. Was it plagued, destroyed or wiped out by another nation, no one knows. No trace of their disappearance was ever discovered and all there is left of their ancient culture is temple ruins, sculptures and parts of artifacts. For centuries the land remained empty until it was discovered by merchants, pirates, and explorers all looking for gold, land, power, fame or simply a place to live. So the land was inhabited by nine new nations all taking a piece of Belgasia and calling it their own.

For awhile these nations lived in harmony and were called the Nine Great Nations of Belgasia, each with different cultures, beliefs, and fighting styles. The inhabitants were the Human race, owners of Melvia, the Woodland Elves, keepers of Woodsor, the Mountain Dwarves, holders of Dwelven Cur, Ape-People, possessors of Anitopia, Ice-Warriors, protectors of Icentine, barbaric Orcs, conquerors of Orca, Desert Nomads, landowners of Deseron, an alliance of mixed mythical creatures’ ,proprietors of Mythonosis and Jungle Tribesmen, chieftains of Canopia.

Suddenly war broke out, started by an exiled Melvian necromancer who was banished because of his growing power in the dark arts. Furious because of his expulsion he vowed to enslave all of Belgasia and found himself an expanse of land abandoned because of lack of proper soil, sunlight and water. He then summoned forth a great army of Skeleton warriors, horses and all things vile and marched forth to destroy all and called his new nation, Skullcron. The Orcs, seeing a great slaughter coming joined forces with him and began their dark campaign. Mythonosis soon fell and its inhabitants were enslaved or went into hiding and after that Anitopia followed. Deseron, Canopia and Icentine joined in fear of being destroyed and soon Skullcron was outnumbered by its allies, and seeing this, the necromancer made more soldiers and put less of his on the front lines to weaken his allies so after he conquered all he could easily sweep them away.

Meanwhile the remaining nations formed an alliance and made one last final stand. Elves, Dwarves and Men all fought bravely fearing the end, the elves with their bows and elegant swords, the Dwarves with their axes and heavy mattocks and men with their cavalry and war machines. How they fought with their fate balanced on the edge of a knife, hoping that that knife would plunge into the enemy and give them victory. The fight was not going well for the defenders until suddenly the allies of Skullcron caught whiff of the treachery the necromancer had planned, turned around and attacked Skullcron. The Orcs though remained true and stayed with him. With all of its strength allied at last the defenders took back the land that was corrupted from them drove the Orcs to the point of extinction. Then at last they attacked the very borders of the necromancer’s dark realm, and the necromancer with his armies diminished was killed by a spell gone horribly wrong.

With the war over everyone went back to themselves all except the defenders, they had made an unbreakable friendship and forever elves, dwarves and men would live together, work together and fight together. This friendship was called the Alliance and for years to come the land lived in peace and harmony until now…
