The Throne: Battle for the Throne.

CHAPTER ONE

It was a cold dark day in Halengrason. The king the only one keeping Ifinland together was dead, but lets rewind. There are 6 major family's in Ifanland. To the north house Johnson with the swift and powerful timber wolf as the symbol of there house. To the east of house johnson there lies house McCraken in the golden islands with the terrifying Cracken as there house symbols. To the far west the Zicons with the great boar as there symbol to there house. To the south house Roose with the mighty lion. To the west of them the Anderson with the fearsome Tiger. And to the east the Turners with the mighty hawk.

I woke up to the sun shining, the birds chirping, and my 9 year old son Tyson running into our room an yelling " Father, Father There's a man here for you." I got up and put on my regular robes and leather armor. By the time I was ready my 19 year old son Haden walked up to me whispering " The man is a messenger from Halengrason, he smells of dirt and wine." I node and continue to the throne room. When I enter the throne room every one bows and I take the message from the man and it read...

To Lord Daniel Johnson

his majesty George Zicon was killed by a boar while hunting. One of his last request was for Lord Daniel to take the throne and rule Ifanland till his son Jake comes of age to rule

signed
Jeramy Zicon

I dropped the paper and fell to my knees. How could my best friend, the king, the most powerful man alive fall to a boar. I looked to my left  seeing my 3 sons, and 2 daughters standing there with my wife Ashly there with them. I got to my feet
"King George Zicoin is dead." I sighed.
" Teana ,and I will head for the capital at noon, the rest of you will stay here" I explained 
" Well almost everyone, Henry your needed at the norther border theres been reports of barbarian raids. You leave tomorrow." I say walking off.

I finish packing my stuff and get on my horse. Teana, and I were going the Halengrason with 50 other Rangers as escorts.
" Why do I have to go with you." Teana wined.
" What are you talking abut, I thought you loved the capital." I say curiously.
" I do, but its such a long and boring journey." She says back.
I smile and we ride off. Its about a 5 day hard riding, but with Teana it will take about 7 days. On the fourth night we settled in and were ready for bed till I herd some rumbling in the bushes. I thought it was nothing till I herd a crack and some whispering. All of a sudden a large band of men jumped out of the bushes yelling, and screaming. I drew my sword and moved to protect Tiana.  A man charged me and I cut him in the chest, and he fell. Another man charged and I ducked as his sword swung above my head and I cut his gut, and he too fell dead. A third man came and blocked his swing as I swung around, and stabbed him in the gut. For a minuet I stood there seeing a ranger cut down a barbarian before being cut down itself.

All of a sudden a men on horse came out of the woods, and attacked the barbarians. The battle was no more than 10 minutes. On the ground lay 18 of our rangers, and 32 barbarians. The leader of our saviors came up, and got off his horse, and took off his helmet. It was Matrix Roose.
"Sorry to bud in, we've been tracking that barbarian hard for days." He said with a smile.
"Your timing couldn't have been better." I chuckled.
"What are you doing here." He asked.
"I don't think it would be a good idea, the kings dead and his brother is king now." He said as if he were in trouble.
"None sense Lord Jeramy invited me him self. Now thank you for your assistance but we really must get some sleep." I said in hast. Matrix sighed and hopped on his bourse and ran off with his men after the barbarians, and we went to sleep.

When we got to the capital we were escorted to the capital building by 75 or so guards. When we got there Jeramy ( Georges brother ) greeted us.
"Hello, Lord Johnson so nice of you to show up unfortunately you will not be king, GEET THEM!" All of a sudden the guards around us killed what rangers were left, and put a knife to my neck.
" So Matrix was right you are making yourself king." I said with the fire of rage in my eyes.
" HA, like I'd let that little brat Jake be king-" he stoped in the middle of his sentence with a sword protruding from his chest as he fell. Behind him was Jake.
"I will be king."
