The sorcerer held the keep for a long time after the battle. The King and the Queen had lost their best men during the battle and offered no resistance. Some families rebelled, and vanished without a trace. The land of Praaven became deserted. Only a handful of noble families remained, hiding in their homes, praying the sorcerer would not come for them.One day a rider came through the village of Lughaven, beneath the marauder fort.https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51853123512_5d1eb6550f_k.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854744920_952f10af8c_k.jpgGreyson Godling had traveled far as the news of what happened in Praaven had reached her.

Nothing she had done had been enough to break it, so she left. Left for answers. Her kin, the elves, knew the curse she told them of. And they had given her the knowledge she needed to break it.

In its place, a man appeared. He was an elf, like her. The legend said that an elf prince had been cursed by a sorcerer and had never been heard from again. The prince was the only heir to the elf King and with his disappearance, the royal bloodline went extinct. According to the legend, the elfish royal bloodline was a bloodline of warriors with the ability to fight the evil magics wielded by the sorcerer. He could not kill those of that bloodline, and that was why the prince had been locked away in the form of a beast.https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854410044_0abbb3851d_k.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854164573_01cae94681_k.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854410029_6df5743d7b_k.jpgGreyson came prepared with suiting clothing for the prince, and she told him of the troubled times.https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854086281_18377fe6ff_h.jpghttps://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51854744740_d47b62030c_k.jpgShe brought him back to her little house where they prepared for the battle.

@ZhakiraP: Great start to an awesome story. :)

The prince reared his horse, striking fear in the hearts of the marauders. It had been one thing battling a bunch of nobles and guards, quite the other to stand up to a knight and his witch.

They did however make an update 2020 that requires a little bit less I think than the original version. You should check that out.

The sorcerer left the old fort several nights before. Cloaked in darkness he rode his black steed up the hill from Tovar, to the keep where he once kidnapped a young lady, killed her father and Lord Hector Pendragon.

The young lady was gone now. Frail little thing. He enjoyed solitude anyway.
