Welcome Home!
*I've decided to try and move on with this story! This will be a prologue (sorry it's so long, still new to this) and I will be working on continuing the story! Thank you for reading 'Welcome Home'.:)
A man with a spear and unrivaled grit, fighting for the fate of everything he knows, him falling could mean the death of everything around him...or worse.
A woman with a sword she forged herself and terrifying reach. She continues to fight despite falling, failing, and trying so many times, just to move forward, and leave her past behind.
A battle of their own rights and wrongs, no evil and no good, a battle of conviction.
They stand on opposite sides of a bridge. A particularly long bridge. The perfect place for a duel. They both protect something, they both believe they are in the right, but who will win?
Chavez, the spear bearer. A human who grew up In a village to the north, he grew up freezing almost every night, and with little food. He loved the people he grew up with despite his troubles, and cherished every moment like it was his last. While doing chores one day his entire village disappeared, there was no explanation, and no one helped him. He was alone for a long time after that, and had no idea how to continue on living, his town was effectively wiped off the map when he wasn't there, and all it took was a couple hours, when Chavez came homes one night, everything was simply...gone. Eventually he found the way to bring them back, or save them. He must cross this bridge.
Selena, the forge master. A human girl from an imperial city to the south, an extremely hot plain. It was melting point for most metals as a temperature year round, and the city she grew up in was popular for its forges. Very rare weapons and armor came from this Imperial city, however, the city and surrounding areas often faced long droughts and could not grow food and keep water without wells drying out. Most people and their family's relied entirely on their ability to forge metals to trade for food and water or other necessaties. When it came time for Selena to forge her first sword however, she made something fierce, something she couldn't understand. A sword that took a part of her own soul to make. The sword itself required sacrifices to be completed, and unknowingly at the time, Selena ended up sacrificing the entire city to create the sword...the product? A weapon of mass destruction. In order to right the wrongs she created, she must attain a spell of time reversal, she was hired by someone who is capable of giving such a thing...the emperor. She must not let anyone cross this bridge.
