"Raghh" Broon screamed. He smashed the ground with his shovel. He had just heard the news about the Infinity Sword. The sun was raging and Broon was sweating.
Broon was broken. His life long dream, Gone. He had heard of the kings expedition but there was no way the sword would have accepted him. After all the King of Trung wasn't exactly the most fit man in the world. A bit round near the sides, Snobby at best, like any other old King.
The thought of him paying someone went through his mind, but at this point it was all pointless. The king had achieved the Infinity Sword.
Broon looked to the left to see his tall friend Akim, he was the one who broke the news to him, and you could tell with his face that he regretted that. "Sorry man." Akim said
Broon at this point had calmed down, his thoughts were jumbled up, but he had a look in his eye, the type of look that you only make when you start to lose it. Dropping the shovel, he looked at Akim, walking close to him he grabbing his collar bringing him down, looking straight into his eyes.
"I have an idea." Broon said. Dropping Akim, wiping his forehead of sweat, turning around to face the horizon like some complete idiot.
Akim at this point was scared for Broon, he had never seen his best friend like this, it was scaring him a little, but it was better than standing in the heat doing farm work. School had ended a few weeks back and neither of them were accustomed to the farming life yet.
As Akim stared at Broons back he started to get lost into his thoughts, back to the old days, back when they were kids and were still learning simple math. He would remember Broon telling him all these stories his dad would tell him about the Legendary Swords. At that time only 3 of the swords were found. It wasn't long before they found the Creation Sword. Which was claimed to be the strongest sword out there. Some rumors were going around saying that the owner had created another sword that could cut anything and everything. But there was no proof.
Then he started to remember how Broons determination just brought them together, like a magnet to iron. How he already had his life set and stone, to finish school learn Magic, and search for the Infinity Sword.
After what seemed like a good minute of Broon staring at nothing he turned around fast cutting Akims train of thought. "Remember... the legend. The legend that im so in love with. How the swords became, what the swords are, how to hold them" Broon asked. His eyes were wider now, and his blue eyes seemed to have gotten lighter.
"...Yea" Akim asked.
"Tell me. Tell me the story right now." Broon said.
"Mmmm" Akim was placed on the spot, he hadn't heard the story in a while so he took the time to collect his thoughts. "Way back, farther before any written documents were made. There was this Wizard, that roamed the land of Erlem. He was one of the very first Wizards to walk the land, he had appeared at a time of poverty, death, war. It was as if he was their savior. Fixing everything with his magic, with his slight of hand. He had gained fame, he had been accepted, despite his Magic abilities, he had saved everyone back then... But eventually, the wizard had stayed his stay for way too long. People were starting to think now. There was no war, there was no destruction. Bad thoughts, "Why does he get to call all the shots!" Or "I don't like the way he walks around us..." and so many more.
The people were starting to think against him. They were starting to be afraid, they didn't know the way of magic except him and a few others at this point. It was a new art that was starting to grow during their time. Only the richest of rich could have studied it. So eventually everyone from every city had formed mobs, they were attacking against the Wizard. It had turned bad before he did something about it. He tried to hide but they only found him. He tried so many things but the anger was too much.
So. On a day that we all remember as the "Beckoning"
"... He set his law"
"Seen from all around the world of Erlem, The Wizard showed his true power. And he set down law. "For those who dare. I will lend my full power, because i am not welcomed anymore into your world. I will leave you with only a parting gift. In these five swords, is a power that only people who've studied magic for centuries could learn. I give you this power, to give you peace without my being here. I will come back, one day i will come back. But only at the end." Akim Recited.
Broon looked at Akim, he almost seemed lost for a second. Then he snapped back into it. He smiled, and got closer to Akim, grabbing both of his shoulders he looked straight into Akims eyes. "Lets go kill the king..."
