"Would you believe me the story I am about to tell you, has been hidden by the Chroniclers for they feared what would happen if it would surface?" The old man in front of me said with gravitas in his voice. My curiosity had been piqued and the long trip towards the Castilian Cortes meant that we had time to pass which would allow me to listen to the ramblings of this old man. What I did not knew at the time was that, by hearing all he had to impart to me, I'll one day become a master storyteller which kings and emperors would battle for.
