With every passing day the curiosity of the people, as to what will happen, grew. The fear of the unknown had started to turn in to curiosity and expectation for the unexpected. It all began one late afternoon, when even the last to rise inhabitant of the realm had heard the chilling news. The time was near when brave warriors would leave for the dragon’s cave in a hunt for his head. After a few days of preparation all the guilds entered the adventure. Nine keepers stood in the way between the warriors and the dragon. Natural selection took its course and only one guild continued on the road to greatness.
