Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 2

In the hall of fame were statue's mounted in honour of the great Kings who ruled Amazon. Eabord a man in his early 20's, stared at the erected statue of King Hezekiah, quite attonished by his many accomplishments, he momentarily pictured himself as the great King.

"if you wish to be like him, you have to live by his words, No sacrifice no victory".

"Father was that some sort of a catch phrase?"

"No my child, it was a motivation of his, amongst all the statue's you see mounted right in this hall were all of his predisecors and they lived and died by that word, your great great great grandfather fought his way to the throne".

"wow", Eabord exclaimed.

"yes", king Thawn replied Eabord.

"All united with one course to protect it's People"

"who is that fair maiden?"

"That would be King Hezekiah's lover, Lilian, the daughter of King outriegh, for she was slain by him blinded by jealousy, anger and rage".

"but why would he do such a wicked deed?"

"No one would know till this very day, history had it that his body was never found, it wasn't clear about his demise"

"I tend to explore and uncover that part about King outriegh"

"I see you have a thing for adventures"

King Thawn excused him self to attend to the matters of the kingdom. He succeeded his father kumberbyrd who died on the battle field, he fell on his own sword haven been betrayed by his armour bearer who led them right into the hands of the enemy, he rather took his life by his own hands, vowed never to be enslaved and killed by any man after his men where all slain with a great slaughter before his eyes and fed to the beast of the East. Many believed the beast was a mythology theory imbibed in the mind of humans to inflict fear within them, the question was why it is always said to end the lineage of King Hezekiah.

The rumours of war brewed up yet again, as the rumours did have it that the armies of the beast had descimated the Kingdom of the South ruled by King thalock.

"This beast of the East seeks to expand his territory so therefore we are standing in his way" the king said, sitted amongst his council of chiefs and his army general Jecobad.

"My King, a truce negotiation will be a wise move, an elder suggested.

"I think not"

"We can send emissary's ahead to survey the enemy territory"

"supposing they are caught"

"I know a man fit for this"

The king and all that were sitted in the hall turned thier attention to were the voice came from. It was the king's son Eabord

"You may speak", the king commanded.

"I took a survey within the city many times, do you know what I noticed father?, weak men, vulnerable men, we have no armies, we only lazy men who had been fed meat and good wine from the king's numerous banquets.where was the one glorious Amazon father?, we were feared through out the lands and the expanse of our lands and beyond, we are just a lost course father. I read from the library records, the mystery surrounding the deaths of our fore father's and king's by the hands of this beast remains uncertain, every one of our past king's were slain by this beast of the East. we are missing many pieces of the puzzle to solve this mystery and I think I might have just found a piece for a start. Father, I found something or rather someone.

Eabord, the son of King Thawn brought in a rough rugged looking lad.

"My God...., he is the spitting image of King Hezekiah", exclaimed King Thawn.
