Once upon a time their was a kingdom called Iniversuia. This kingdom is pleasant with rows of beautiful houses that the townspeople live in and lots of buildings that hold everything you could ever want to buy. Flowers are planted in pastel colors all around the area, giving it a bright splash of color that went well with the surroundings.

The townspeople themselves are also quite lovely. All of them with their own talents and most of them happy and merry as they went about their daily business of running the shops and looking after the children, trying to hassle them into school if they wanted their children to attend.

Today though everyone was surrounding the castle, dressed completely in black, some crying, and none smiling. See inside of the gorgeous castle, hidden inside the sugar coated wall of lies, the king was dying.

The townspeople were told that the king was simply ill, and they had no idea how dire his condition really is.

The king was deathly ill with a mysterious disease that no doctors in the lead could identify. The Queen had set out for a special doctor, one that could name many more diseases than any other. To the townsfolk it seemed to be just another normal doctor, but to the Queen he was the last hope for her husband.

After giving the doctor 10 gold coins the doctor agreed to see the King, and looked over him for many hours before coming to a conclusion.

"This man is very ill. It is something that I have never seen before, or even heard of. I have talked to many merchants, and I have finally found a cure for this dying Saint. I will need a few items though, so that I can make the potion that your husband requires." The doctor said, before giving her a list and starting out the door. "I will return in 30 moons time, if you gathered the ingredients by then I will cure him. If not there is nothing further I can do." With that the doctor left, leaving the Queen with her dying King.

The Queen didn't know how to get the items. She had a kingdom to run, she had no time for a treasure hunt, especially when the kingdom was already in dismay about the King's illness.

She finally decided what to do, after much thought and concentration about what should be done. She decided to choose to soldiers, the strongest and the most gentle, to gather the items for her.

After she had chosen who these two were two moons had already passed. She called the two soldiers into her court, and prepared them for the journey.
