"In 1122 there was a war between the thriving city of Ekalane and a man, if I can refer to as that, named The Shadow. The Shadow wanted to contol Ekalane but we stood strong and fought back. For years it looked like we were winning, but we were mistaken, sorely mistaken. By the end of our eighth year of fighting off his shadow forces and hounds things took a fall for the worst, General Leone fell, and so did the rest of our army, except for two warriors, who fled like cowards and led the path for the shadow's entry to our city. soon after he entered and took the castle by force, killing what ever little of the guards and knights Ekalane had left, he changed our laws and cut off our borders to our sister city, Xynnar. Xynnar tried to fight him out of our fair city and was quickly branded an enemy. No one knows what has happened to our royal family after he invaded and I have a feeling we never will. I am Hugh Vanderlyn and I have an important question for you, Will you fight for the citizens of Ekalane and help us rid ourselves of this tyranny, or will you fight with The Shadow and crush our allegiance?" - Hugh Vanderlyn, Former Knight, Current Citizen of Ekalane (this is for a book I will be writing on a seperate wattpad account based on my dystopian story I wanted to expand on from my english class , it's going to be called "The Shadow of Ekalane" , if anyone is interested I will be posting an annnouncement on this account about it along with the username you can find it on)
