CHAPTER 1:LET ME TELL YOU ALONG BUT SHORT TAIL:

Hi there! I have a story to tell if you dare to listen. And I may sound like the villain, but before you judge me, remember to keep an open mind because there are always two sides to every story, and nothing is what it seems. I am not a bad guy, but everything that happened was my fault. Kingdoms fell due to my influence, and yes, it was worth it. I bet you are wondering, who I am. Well, that will be my secret for now. But you will know soon enough.

Now then, let us go to where it all began, in a kingdom by the name of Novelist. It was a harsh and cruel place due to the tyrant that reigned over it, his name was Dragon Eye Cronextis. He was known for starting wars and plundering other nations, but now he had set his sights on Grasslands—one of the four Great Kingdoms that hadn't fallen victim to his tyranny. He was plotting an attack.

However, the King of Grasslands was a very kind man by the name of Kaimany E-mete, and he was not a fool. He was well aware of Dragon Eye and knew that he was a big threat. But he was not afraid of him; he feared for the safety of his people. In desperation, he called a meeting with his high council, which entailed six royal advisers, five bodyguard Platinum Armored Knights, and the twelve Nobles of the kingdom.

After everyone arrived, the King tapped his scepter on the ground for their attention. "Now that everyone is here, we may begin. General Kenif, come forth." He signaled for someone to step forward from the shadows and speak. It was a young man wearing shiny golden armor.

"Greetings to you most honored guests. Some of you may not know who I am, but my name is Kenif Malleocrotus, and I am the General of the Knights. Now, what I'm about to tell you is very disturbing. I have recently discovered that Dragon Eye has taken up arms against the other Great Kingdoms."

"CEASE YOUR... TONGUE THIS INSTANT!" one of the King's Platinum Bodyguards shouted. His name was Kenyo Malleocrotus. "Do you have any proof of what you speak?" Kenyo asked, glaring at him.

But Kenif just smiled at him and said, "Yes, I do. I sent out scouts to—"

(BANG!)

But before he could finish speaking, Kenyo rushed forward in a flash and punched him, knocking him to the ground. Then he spat at him. "You f**king half-blood bastard! You dare to smile and act without the approval of the King? Who told you to act? Tell me now, and I shall make your death swift," Kenyo said.

But before he could move again, the King shouted for him to stop. "That is enough, Kenyo! Calm yourself, for I am the one that granted him permission."

So, Kenyo turned to face the King. "Forgive me, Your Highness, for I was unaware. I acted without knowing, so I ask that you forgive me."

The King stood up and walked toward Kenyo. (WACKS!) He slapped him in the face. "You stupid son of a b**ch! Your son is the one you should be seeking forgiveness from and not me," the King said, then returned to his seat.

So Kenyo then turned to face Kenif and reached out his hand to help him up. But Kenif just glared at him with malice, then slapped his hand away and stood up on his own, wiping away the blood that had run from his nose and mouth. The King shrugged.

"Kenif, would you like to have your father punished for what he did? Perhaps a public flogging or a whipping?"

"No, Your Highness. There is no time for that," he responded.

"Very well then, you may continue with your report," the King said. Kenif then clapped his hands twice, and a man appeared, wearing a long black robe. His face was covered in scars, and a patch was over his right eye.

"This is Darwnd, and he is one of the ten scouts I sent out to gather intel. He is also the only one who came back alive."

After hearing that, the Nobles began mumbling among themselves. But the King raised his hand for silence, then spoke. "On your feet, young Darwnd! Tell us what you saw."

With tears in his eyes, he stood up and spoke. "Dragon Eye is coming, and he has somehow gained control of the goblin clan, the ogre tribes, and dragon kind."

Everyone gasped, and all eyes turned to face Darwnd.
