It all started in a tiny village on the outskirts of the Wargian empire. The empire was built by the great emperor Groteas Warg thousands of years ago. This tiny village is called Scach. It has around 300 adults living in it. Me and the other kids are not counted as we haven't had our coming of age ceremony yet. The other kids don't like me because I do not belong to this village. I was found on the doorsteps of the orphanage one night. An orphanage that had five other kids whose parents died untimely deaths. The villagers considered me a bad omen because the year I was abandoned to this godforsaken place, the village had a famine and all the crops were wasted. Very clever of them to put the blame on a child that couldn't even speak. The only reason they don't abandon me into the wilderness is because Chief forbid them from doing so. 'Chief' is the head of Scach, he is an eighty year old man with no family. Everyone calls him Chief so I never got to know his real name. He is also one of the only two people in this village who doesn't despise me. The other being my fellow orphan Mirus. His mother died in childbirth and his father died hunting the beasts. He is a bit dumb but he makes up for it by being naturally strong. A complete opposite of me. The other kids would only dare to bully me in the absence of Mirus.

I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'd describe myself as lean, I'm taller than most kids of my age and am considered to be a cunning guy by the villages. I'm called Argur and I'm 16 years old.
