The witch's tower: The last witch's curse

Prologue

There was once a land far away from here ruled by a Beloved Princess, who's caring wisdom and power protected the Kingdom as the last survivor of her bloodline...

Decades earlier a great and tragic war devastated the kingdom and surrounding land plunging the life of those peacefully living in the kingdom into chaos. A Ban against magic was passed by the king, restricting use of magic in his kingdom, the decree made out of fear that a power so great could only be used for evil. Wizards and witches, warlocks and necromancers, spell-castersalike, united and stood against the king's new law, fighting for their rights of freedom and the country. Months of fighting saw downfall of both sides,death and disease, famine befell the warring lands, the war was destructive and brought the fall of the king and almost all of the royal bloodline, leaving the Princess, as the last true heir to the throne. However since it had decreed in the ancient laws of the kingdom that only when she had found a suitable spouse,to rule alongside her could she ascend to the seat of power, the princesswould not take the title of queen, untilsomebody truly worthy, appeared to rule by her side. Over the years as the Princess grew, she used influence to help rebuild the shattered Kingdom as hope resounded from the people, believing its former glory could again be restored, with ban of magicstill in effect... The dark times had well and truly passed....

Or so she thought...

A menacing tower of pure obsidian, with tower's which reach the sky almost like flames, rose from the belly of the earth, and with it, it dug up a deadlyplague, killing livestock and crops around it with a vile posion which was slowly creeping up through the kingdom, causing devastation to all who met it.Poverty, famine and misery, was all that lay within the darkness and shadowscast by that denomic looking tower, in which, the last and only magic user controlled,hiding within in wait for the demise of the kingdom and the royal family... A wretched witch, who would not stop, until she saw the beautiful ethereal land before her become soaked in despair and hatred...

It was upon realising that it was an evil witch behind this ploy, the princess set out a mighty warrior, a brave and heroic young knight, who had already done the kingdom a many a great favours, to go a strike down the witch, and end her evil plague which had already destroyed all of the outer villages, and was quickly approaching the castle... If the knight could kill the witch, he would not only be deemed the lands greatest hero, but he would also win the princess's hand and rule alongside her...

And so, our hero's story begins...
