PLEASE NO STEALING IDEAS. THESE ARE ALL MY IDEAS EXCEPT THE ONES THAT I PUT UP FOR ADOPTION. ALSO 10 VOTES OR MORE THEN I'LL GET STARTED.

I'll update as I go along but for now, here it is.

This is a Fantasy/Adventure book. Hope you enjoy :)

  It took forty years to build, yet in a matter of days it was nothing more than dust in the wind. A tale told by parents to amaze their children, yet they took no pried in telling it. No one would for it was a time that everyone wished to forget. 

   A time when the empire was whole, when there wasn't the everyday signs of war and death around them. When in every city there was only one banner flapping in the wind; or burning in the streets.

   Why want to forget it?

   For it was a day when executions and unlawful sackings filled the gap of war. For it was the time where every family lived in fear of prejudice because of their race or culture. A time when a tyrant, with the facade of an Emperor took the throne, and defiled upon his citizen. A time when only one banner flapped in the wind, because the others were burned to the ground. It wasn't a time for peace, it was time for chaos and evil.

   This was the time of the Terran Empire.

   The Terran Empire, I could still remember the day when her armies marched across the lands. The largest empire of its time, the largest empire the world had ever seen; built after bloody wars, of year long sieges and daily genocides on both sides. An empire which conquered everything and everyone; yet in a few days it was almost forgotten.

   I can't say I didn't see it coming. If Emperor Alfonso "the Great" was anything, it wasn't "the Great." More like "the tyrant", or maybe "the ass." He was a man with a big head, a large army, and many, many enemies.

   A man like that doesn't survive for long. He could be "Grand Emperor of Anything That Moves" for all I care and in a few moths he'll wake up to a dagger down his throat. That's just how life works. There is now way to get around, frankly I'm surprised that I survived while being so close to him.

   So it really didn't surprise me when I heard that he'd turned green and bloated up like a frog during his monthly "I conquered your ass!" feast with all of the conquered nobles of the realm.

   I'm sure even the guards were smiling on the inside when he took that dunk into his soup.

   It also didn't surprise me that right after his assassination almost every person with noble blood, a sword and a mouth declared their Independence. I hoped for that really; believe it or not Alfonso's brat of a child was worst than he was.

    And that is how in a few short days the "shattered empire" was formed and Alfonso was killed.

   Any regrets? Maybe the fact that I was the one to secure that bastards victory and crown in the first place. And that time that I didn't get that hookers name in Oxford, a pretty las she was. A red head with nice br--

   Anyway, long death to the king!

   But even with evil defeated, there is no way at all to eradicate it from our daily lives. Civil war now plagues Terra; genocides, sieges, slavery, things that had at least been to a minimum (well maybe not slavery) has become a common thing. Without the Emperor, I am afraid to say, things has regressed to the way it was a century before: utterly stupid people swinging swords at horrendously stupid people..

   Sometimes, I wish that Alfonso was not dead. With him around at least I don't have to worry about waking up with a dagger up my ass. Even if his "I conquered your ass!" wine was a little stale.

   But alas, Alfonso's story is finished, but someone needs to take his place. These back water, back stabbing nobles couldn't unite their own fingers if you asked them to, so they're out of the question.

   AHA!

   But there is one I can use, one excommunicated of these lands a long time before. Fifteen years wasn't it? Yes, the prince of Assyria.

   He'll be perfect.

   Maybe I'll right the wrong I have committed, maybe not. But I will get revenge indefinitely. On who you may ask? Well you must wait, this is the prince's story, and what good story gives away all of the secrets at the beginning, hmmm?

   A new story is unfolding, one that contains treachery, blood and death beyond belief.

   Yes, I can see it now. So perfect!

   Soon I'll have my revenge, but first I must place the prince on the throne.

   Then blood will be spilt.

   You know what they say: "Revenge is a dish best served with blood."

   Tah-tah for now. But we'll definitely be seeing each other soon...
