In the kingdom of Sorencia, knowledge is everything to the druids. Power, wealth, popularity, all stems from a druid's intelligence, and children are like slaves to alchemy. studying day in and day out, improving their spell crafting until they have mastered every spell in the fourteen books of alchemy. Everything was at peace in the kingdom, until one day the king and queen of Sorencia, the strongest of the druids forged child which they named Dunamis.
Growing up, Dunamis was more adventurous and mischievous than the other druid kids. He, like the other druids, were forced at a young age to learn alchemy, but Dunamis had a gift for alchemy. He conjured spells in 15 minutes that took others months. The king and queen were sure that he was a prodegy to alchemy in which they were very proud. But they grew worry of Dunamis's imagination getting the better of him so they hired a guard to his side to no avail. Dunamis outsmarted and got away from all of them. So king Cain decided to seek help outside of the kingdom of Sorencia where they found a little girl who happened to be a skilled assassin, banned from her clan after refusing to assassinate her uncle. Her name was Lilliana, or Lilly for short.
When Dunamis and Lilly met they instantly became friends because they both knew that they were the best at what they did. A sparkling friendship indeed is exactly what king Cain wanted. Something to keep him distracted and take his mind away from the outside world. But queen Agony wanted no part of this friendship taking place. She was furious that king Cain brought a dark elf into the castle.
A few years later, Agony's hatred for Lilliana grew even more, so at dawn, she sent druid guards to her room and forged a poison cloud that would kill her in her sleep. But Lilly was too experienced of an assassin to be killed by simple tactics. She vanished in a ball of smoke, reappeared behind the guards and with the back of the kunai, hit their pressure points to put them both to sleep. The queen then quickly found out about this and killed both guards to frame Lilly. Lilly saw this and wall ran up the castle wall to warn king Cain but it was too late Agony had already influenced him. She had no option but to retreat with her life, leaving the only friend she'd ever had.
The next morning, Cain and Agony told Dunamis what happened the night before. Dunamis paralysed in shock could not believe what he heard from his parents. He did not believe for one second that his best friend would do such a thing to the druids. Dunamis was determined to prove her innocence so he studied alchemy day in and day out so he can see her on the outside and clear everything up. Dunamis studied non-stop for two years. Until he learnt every spell, ability and chant in all of alchemy.
He was finally ready to leave the kingdom and fend for himself, but his parents denied his request of adulthood.
"Father, mother, I your son Dunamis have studied non-stop for many years to achieve this goal. I am the youngest druid to master all fourteen books of alchemy. I would like your permission on being granted adulthood." "I refuse!" Queen Agony said. " You are only but 20 years old. You are much too young to leave the kingdom, most druids don't leave until the age of forty, are you insane. Don't tell me you want to end up like that dirty elf. Dunamis became enraged when he heard this. "That "dirty elf" was my best friend." He shouted. " Hahaha! You know what? You think you know everything about magic but you dont. You don't even know anything about alchemy. I've mastered spells you could never dream to know about. Now you look me, the most powerful druid in existence, and tell me I'm not allowed to leave the kingdom. Some royalty you are!" Dunamis said as he spat on the floor. "SILENCE!" Shouted king Cain. "You dare disrespect me and your mother! I, am the most powerful druid of all time! You are so foolish, it is you who knows nothing about about alchemy. Alchemy is not a scribe of spells, alchemy is creation and I think its about time I undo mine." King Cain rose to the sky, summoned a Trident to his hand and hurled it towards Dunamis. Impaling him through the heart and pinning him to the ground killing him in the process. His mother, unmoved,slowly walked to his dead body, leaned in and whispered " You we're my worst creation".
The door opened and a silhouette stood in the door way. " You've failed. Hahaha! You honestly thought you can kill me and get rid of me that easy" as the silhouette walked closer the king and queen noticed that to figure was indeed Dunamis. "I told you I knew spells you've never seen. "You ironically killed a dummy, I bet you feel stupid now don't you. Admit it I outsmarted you, I've outdone you, I'm more powerful than you." Furious king Cain Rose in the air once more and summoned another Trident to his hand and threw it at Dunamis with all his might. The throw itself erupted an earthquake. But something unbelievable happened. The Trident evaporated right in front of Dunamis's face and impaled his father in his back and threw both lungs. His body dropped to the floor and he coughed up a pool of blood unable to do anything. Horrified queen Agony screamed for the guards but before anyone could respond Dunamis snapped his fingers and the Trident fazed through his father, flew through the air and pinned his mother where she sat. Dunamis slowly walked towards his mother and whispered in her ear. " Druids should be a free race of people, not pawns in your army. Yeah I knew all about your little plans to start a war based on racism but it's too late. Even if there is one, hahaha you'll never be alive to see it"he crazily smiled while saying. "Oh and I know what you did to Lilliana, I'm going to find her.I am no longer your slave, my new name is Ja'Quin."
He then summoned a reptile mount and rode out of the castle. On the way out the reptile licked the guards which paralyses them. Ja'Quin went on a journey to find and erase evil from high government and search for his friend. Thus begins the story of the strongest druid in existence.
