Plot: The King of a large kingdom banished his son for being gæ. The king then falls in love with a male siren.
Chapter 1
Banished
Far beyond the forests of Mylandia, lies a fierce kingdom filled with some of the world's greatest warriors. The king of this large kingdom, is a well known warrior himself.
King Denzel Everett
He has lead his kingdom to victory against the Great Orcs, who had seemingly outnumbered them, he was also known as a rather misogynistic man, often calling women an 'inferior species'.
His son had recently been found in the same bed as his personal guard, his body covered in love marks that only a man can make. The king did the only thing possible. He banished his son from his kingdom, never to return again. It had to be done, even though it pained him to get rid of his only existing heir, especially when his wife had passed away, just a few months ago from an incurable illness, known as the Moon Plague.
The stress of it all, caused streaks of his hair to turn a silvery-grey. And as if that wasn't enough, there have been rumours of a siren, spotted just off the coast of their beach. He had assigned a small fleet of 50 men to scout out the area and they never returned.
So, he had set out on his own to find and slay the siren.
Chapter 2
Ocean
The ocean. Vast. The waves. Restless. The sea mist had rolled in. Too thick to see through the haze, but thin enough to feel like fingers grazing his arms. It blurred his vision, not able to see through the mist. He had sat up in the Crows nest for around 30 minutes.
His cutlass sat beside him in it's sheath. It was his first sword, enchanted with extra sharpness and durability. It was a gift from his father, after he slayed his first beast to signify that he had become a man. He made sure that his sword's blade was stained red with the blood of monsters.
Zombies. Skeletons. Sirens. Monsters. Everyone of them.
They are the same filth that wiped out his village all those years ago. The anger sat like a pit in the bottom of his stomach, boiling him inside out. He still remembers his father's cries as he watch his mother being slaughtered.
Chapter 3
Siren
The mist slowly began to clear. Being able to see the ocean again, Denzel slide down to the deck and looked over the edge of his ship, the ocean was still and quiet, eerily so. Denzel's incredible hearing picked up on a disturbance in the water about 15 meters away. He hand shot to his cutlass, gripping the hilt tightly.
He glanced around rapidly, trying to spot what it had been. He slowly relaxed his stance, still uneasy, the silence sent shivers down his spine. He slowly sat down on the floor of the ship, staring up at the sky. At some point, he must've fallen asleep.
When he opened his eyes, he was greeted with the sight of a billion stars shining in the sky, the moons shone brightly on the ship, causing the water to glisten and refelect the colour of the sky. When he turned his head to the left he was greeted with two odd eyes, staring back at him.
