Prologue

The **Prologue** is the introductory part of the story.

## The Prologue

### Ravendale

The story starts at Ravendale's local bar. Valkyrie Highlander, one of the bartenders, was working her shift. A man in a cloak walked in, he asked Valkyrie for some water and the two began talking. Shortly after, a bandit walked in called Storr Colbyrn. Storr was the right hand man to a crime boss called Vigo Verdae. When asked who he was, Valkyrie said that he was someone who shouldn't be messed with. Storr sat on the stool next to the hooded man while his henchmen sat at a table behind him. Storr snapped at Valkyrie, ordering a drink and being rude to her. He harassed the hooded man, threatening that he was going to probably mug him. Later, legendary monster hunter, Adrian Thorn, entered the bar. He asked Storr where Vigo was, but Storr began to stall Adrian. While distracted, Storr's drink was laced with a powder that made it taste disgusting by the hooded man. Storr drank it and immediately began gagging and even fell on the floor, causing the bar to laugh at him.

Storr was angry, he believed Valkyrie had attempted to poison him and pulled a knife out on her. The hooded man tried to shove him away, but Storr punched him, causing his hood to fall down. It was revealed that the hooded man was in fact an elf and Ravendale was full of racist humans. Storr ordered his men to kill the elf and Valkyrie, but Adrian intervened and knocked Storr down. Adrian advised the other two to leave while he took care of the bandits.

While outside the bar, the elf revealed his name to be Efrí Silvertongue. Adrian threw Storr out the bar and forced him to give up Vigo's location. Storr claimed he didn't know and that he wasn't even in Ravendale. Adrian then knocked Storr out and went to leave. Valkyrie and Efrí asked if they could join him since they had no where else to go. Adrian didn't want them to, but he realised that Storr would probably kill them, so he let them join.

Efrí stated that the reason he came to Ravendale was because he was looking for Adrian. He told him that there was an ogre in an abandoned orc fortress on the border of Tharrodell. At first, Adrian was sceptical as to why the orcs had built a fort so close to the elves, but he needed the money, so he accepted the job.

### The Orc Fortress

The trio arrived at the fort. It was quite new, but in ruins. Adrian approached it slowly while Efrí and Valkyrie waited behind. Soon, Adrian ran out while being chased by the ogre. Adrian managed to make quick work of the beast, his bounty was done. Adrian demanded Efrí to pay him, not wanting to get scammed again. Efrí claimed that there was a vault inside of the fort that was full of treasure.

The group went inside, and like Efrí said, there was a vault full of treasure. They celebrated for a short while, but then a legendary storm dragon burst in through the fort's central window and snatched the vault while Efrí was still inside. Adrian saved Valkyrie, but he dragon flew off with the vault and Efrí. Adrian told Valkyrie that the dragon was Rex Caelorum, a legendary and powerful storm dragon. They then argued after hearing each others thoughts on dragons as a whole. Adrian thought they were vicious savages that needed killing, while Valkyrie believed they were misunderstood and tragic creatures.

After the argument, they decided they needed to rest and that the fort was the perfect place to do so, it was safe, sheltered and warm. They then went to sleep, marking the end of the Prologue.
