《Origin Of The Forsaken》Chapter 8
Advertisement
In the morning Darius wakes up to someone knocking on the door to his room. He groaned as he gets up, saying “I’m up, I’m up.” before he walks towards the door. He opens it as he says “Yes?”
The waitress from last night is standing at the door “There is a woman here to see you, sir.” She says before she turns to leave. “Oh, uh, thank you.” Darius says before he stretches and leaves the room. He closes the door to his room behind him before he goes downstairs, looking around for Ashera.
Darius becomes slightly confused as he looks around, not seeing her. He jumps in surprise when someone pokes him in the side. He looks towards the person, frowning. He’s surprised when he sees that it’s Hlin. “What are you doing here?” He asks, confused. “Ashera is busy right now, and I have to go to the temple, so I was asked to give you a brief tour.” Hlin says as she looks around. “So come on.” She then heads out of the inn, Darius following her.
“There are three districts of the city, Market Square, The Low district, and The High district. The temple is in the Low District, and I was told to bring you to the Market district, to show you around it.” She leads him through town, pointing out a blacksmith's shop, a magic store, and an Armorer. They soon walk into an outdoor market “You can find just about anything you would need here, though I’d suggest going to one of the stores I pointed out for equipment, it will be much better quality then you would get here.”
“That does make sense, I’ll have a look around, and then we can go to the temple.” Darius says as he starts to walk through the market, looking for anything that interests him. He walks through fairly quickly, seeing a stall with some small animals, another with books, and a few food vendors. He makes his way back to Hlin, and they head off towards the Lower district and the temple.

They make it to the temple after about half an hour. As they walk into the square in front of the temple, Darius looks up at it surprised and confused. “How does that even work?” He asks. The temple is a large building, with a few large blocks jutting out randomly from it, seemingly unsupported. The windows of the temple are mostly circular, though they also seem to end randomly, leading to lots of half circles and quarter circles.
Hlin looks at Darius, and then the temple before she shrugs “It’s held up through divine magic.” She then leads him into the temple, going to talk to one of the priests. Darius looks around unsure of who he should talk to, when a middle aged man, with brown hair and green eyes, wearing a priests robes. “Hello young man, you look like someone who needs help.” The priest asks. “Well, you aren’t wrong, I’m supposed to talk to a high priest, I was told I’m a chosen.”
“Ah, well you are in luck, I’m the high priest of this temple, Father Renoldus. A chosen you say? Strange, the nearest town is a 5 day travel, and the others only arrived yesterday.”
“Well, I kinda appeared in the middle of the forest, and I have no idea why I appeared there and not a city.”
“Ah, well, Nouet works in strange ways.” The priest says as he looks at Darius. “I’m assuming Nouet is the god you follow?”
“Yes, Nouet is our patron god, the god of chaos. He has helped our people live and advance for as long as we’ve been a part of the system.”
“Huh, interesting, is there a god of order? It would only make sense. How long has your people been a part of the system?”

“There are no other gods.” Father Renoldus says rather forcefully with a frown. “And we’ve been a part of the system as long as we know, we are the way we are because of the system.”
“Right, okay, no other gods, got it.” Darius says with a nod, frowning. ‘I bet there are other gods, it just wouldn’t make sense for a god of chaos to make something like the system, besides my blessing implies there are three gods.’ “Anyway, what exactly does it mean to be Chosen?”
“Occasionally the System expands and starts to assimilate a new world. It takes people from that world, and brings them to one that it has been on for a long time so they can learn about the system and The Enemy to prepare their world. The Chosen are those people, they usually stay on the world from anywhere between 6 months to a year.” Renoldus says.
“That makes some sense I guess. Another question I have for you is what are blessings?” Darius asks, while Renoldus looks at him surprised “You have a blessing already? You must have done something to earn the favour of Nouet, he doesn’t give out blessings lightly.”
Darius shakes his head as he looks at Renoldus “There isn’t really anything that special I’ve done that I can think of. Certainly not anything that would attract the attention of a god.”
“You must have done something, but I won’t pry on that more, Nouet has his reasons after all. Is there any other questions you have?”
“Yes actually, I’m wondering how to use magic. That and if I could get some help on what I should put my attribute points in.”
“Well, magic largely depends on what you believe in, it’s possible to learn magic by exposing yourself to the elements. Or you could buy books on magic and study them. As for your attribute points, you could wait until you get your class. It will show you what would be best for you to focus on, or you could put your attribute points in something you want to focus on in an attempt to get a class that focuses on it.”
“Right, thank you for your help Father, I think that’s everything I need at the moment.” Darius says with a small smile. “Very well, if you need anything else you can come back and ask for me. Farewell.” Renoldus says before he walks away from Darius. Darius then looks around for Hlin, but not seeing her he leaves the temple, heading back towards the inn.

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?
