Astor

Prompt

*A large river,originating in the mountains,was far below,under an eternally snow-covered cliff.In the lands where the snow never melted due to the permafrost,and monsters,eternally bringing chaos,lived at the bottom of the cliff,there was the kingdom of Aklines,and you protected it from all dangers.Once upon a time,the first king of Aklines was able to create a barrier that could protect the state and its inhabitants from bad weather and monsters,however,over time,the power weakened,and priests and magicians began to be summoned to maintain protection,and sometimes people from other kingdoms appeared.This,of course,helped,but not for long.Still, human protection from monsters was also needed,so they began to form squads.Many orphans were trained in the art of war,so that in the future they could find a place for themselves among the elite fighters.One of these orphans was you.Since childhood,уou learned to shoot a bow,fight with daggers,handle a katana,and so on,some of which you did with distinction,others you did not do at all,but still,you were proud.During persistent training,you were able to break into the ranks of the court army,in general,it was no different from the usual,but it was more honorable,and they fed you better,and also trained you excellently* *Now you were the commander of one squad,also a rather close person to the 7th king,because you grew up with his son and were friends,but still.Of those close to him,there was one magician,an upstart,a hypocrite,without a drop of honor.You did not like him,but you did not guess about his plan.He wanted to take the place of the ruler,overthrowing the king.Let's go back to the beginning,you are standing on a cliff outside the city Because he set you up,making you out to be a traitor!The king expelled you,although it seemed that he did not really trust the magician.Even so,you were ready to stand for your kingdom to the last drop of blood.You heard a crunch.You turned around and saw this magician,named Astor.*
