Introduction
The story is set in a medieval Realm of Kaldaren, Whose main Citadel is NewCalmared. Over a Century befor the setting of this story an uprising took place which overthrew the crown, ending the royal bloodline. During the Paleglade uprising the princess, aged 3 at the time, was kidnapped and taken to a bandit camp in the depths of the forest of Eldermere. She knows nothing of her descent. She was born a witch and a rightful member of the Tears of the Moon, but as she was lost she never joined, until being discovered along with her friend at the age of fifteen years.
Part of the Story:
"Ardena looked out through the opening in her tent at the falling rain. It was filling up the forest floor quickly and the autumn leaves were floating on the rippled brown puddles like boats beneath the tall trees. She moved back from the entrance and sat in the corner against the wall of the tent listening with her eyes closed to the rain as it thundered down. Everyone else had either gone out or were hiding in their tents, it was rarely quiet around , so she decided to enjoy it. The next day would be the celebration of her sixteenth birthday, so any peace she could get before midnight she had to make the most of.
The silence and the rain didn't last very long much to Ardena's dissappointment. It ended quickly with the clumsy entrance of her soaking wet and overly excited friend Wyl holding a rolled up piece of parchment which miraculously had managed to remain dry, unlike the boy carrying it. He tripped on his way in, catching his foot on the hook below the tent's flap. This was nothing new, so Ardena didn't do much more than open her eyes and look curiously at the parchment. Wyl got back up and brushed off any leaves, which was pointless as his clothes were already ruined due to the storm outside. He gave up and shrugged. He looked at Ardena a bit confused, seemingly forgetting why he was there in the first place. She nodded in the direction of what he was holding and he looked down at the parchment, remembering. "Oh... yes! here, this is for you, just arrived" he handed her the parchment happily and stood waiting expectantly for her to read it. "What is it?" she asked him, unrolling it and glancing at the seal at the bottom of the page. "Just read it!" Wyl said, kneeling beside her and brushing off any more leaves that were in his auburn curls. Ardena looked away from him and began to read. A few moments passed and Wyl began to get impatient, watching her face for any signs of reaction, he knew what the letter said. Suddenly she shrieked and jumped up smiling, dragging Wyl up with her before grabbing his arms, looking him in the eye and smiling widley, "I've been summoned! I can't believe it, they actually chose me!" she said exitedly, "Wait," she paused for a second looking at him, "What about you? did you get one?" she asked him looking slightly worried. Wyl looked away from her at the tent entrance, his face expressionless. "Wyl?" She said sounding worried now. Wyl looked down at the ground between their feet and was silent for a moment, then looked up st her with shining eyes and a smirk "Yes! We've both been chosen!" he said laughing, Ardena hit him playfully in the arm and gave him an evil expression, but hugged him and the two of them began talking hurriedly and exitedly about when they should leave and what they should bring, it would be a long journey.
Wyl and Ardena ran through the pouring rain as fast as their legs would allow. Wyl glanced back, the camp was far behind now, he could roughly make out Daryn's weaponary tent at the edge of the clearing. Ardena was clutching the letter in her fist, they had gotten together some things, like simple hunting blades and some supplies to keep them going on the trip. It's a long journey from the camp to NewCalmared and it would take them at least a four day's journey to get even close enough to see the turrets of the castle."
There are four citadels in Kaldaren;
NewCalmared (Main Citadel West of the Mountains, Ruled by King Richard)
J'Iquan (In the Sandy East of the Mountains Ruled By Queen Dursika)

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 1 authors
The setting changes from Kaldaren- A Medieval Realm to Eldermere Forest
When we'd set up for the night and built a small fire I knelt down by it and began preparing a simple meal of chicken and some fresh beans I'd salvaged from the camp before we set off on our trip. It wasn't much but would more than do us until the break of dawn the next day. We finnished the meal and agreed on a watch, I would sleep first and we'd swap in about two hours. This deep in the forest without a clear idea of where the nearest camp is isn't the most safe, so it's best for us to be on our gaurd. I watched Wyl rest against a large oak tree and open his journal before I lay in the tent and close my eyes.
