***Keep in mind that this is supposed to take place in medieval times***
Long, long, long ago, there existed a kingdom on a small continent in the middle of the Great Ocean. Along its coast it had many successful ports used to transport all kinds of cargo around the world. Inland, however, there were large cities, small towns, beautiful castles, sprawling farms, dense forests, impressive mountain ranges, and villages placed here and there. Everything was all fine and dandy until The Princess was born.
Princess Diana was born into the rather extensive royal family, which ruled all parts of the kingdom. But the true King lived in a massive castle in the center of the country, deciding on laws and making proclamations from his golden throne. The King rejoiced when his daughter was born, for she was a healthy baby that promised a bright future. But soon after, tragedy stuck. For as we all know, good times must come to an end.
The Evil Sorcerer looked down on the royal family with disdain, feeling envious of their riches and power. He cast a magical storm over the castle, and summoned a great dragon. During the evacuation all the knights, guards, and soldiers in the castle fought valiantly to protect the royal family, but all was in vain. The dragon burned the soldiers to their bare skeletons, and ate the King and Queen. The only ones who were spared was the Princess, and a stable boy who had been knocked unconcious when he was hit by the dragon's tail. After waking up, he fled the castle, warning everyone he could find about the disaster. Soon the country wept, but were given hope. The Evil Sorcerer had proclaimed that the first man to pass all of his challenges and escape the castle with the Princess would be made the new king of the land.
For years afterwards, all kinds of men attempted and died while trying to rescue the Princess. Thieves, veterans, knights, good wizards, dwarves, elves, and even a few orcs had tried. After laughing at their defeats for several years, the Evil Sorcerer made a new proclamation. From now on, only men who were twenty five years old were able to save the Princess, for that would be her age the coming winter. And so a sudden influx of strong, young men decked out with all kinds of gear are now entering the castle to save the princess. And this where our story begins, with you standing outside the castle's open gate.
You stand there, thoughts racing through your mind as you look towards the gate. You didn't have much gear, just a medium sized rusted iron shield, a long steel sword that you had spent the last of your money on, and one helth potion. You look down at the "armor" you have, which is just a few sheets of iron held together by thick leather straps. You remember as you were laughed out of every inn, market, and even your own household when you stated that you were going to rescue the Princess. But today was the day you were going to prove them wrong, prove the whole kingdom wrong by rescuing the Princess and becoming the new king. Taking a deep breath, you walk through the gate, and let out a loud sigh as you hear it close behind you.
As you look around, you are shocked to see that the courtyard is mostly empty, save for a few skeltons with their items still on them. You hear a loud "Ahem", and look forward to see the Evil Sorcerer standing there with his long gray beard, black and purple robe, and blood red staff with a green orb on top. You get in a fighting stance, but are confused when he starts to laugh. You take a step forward to show that you're not afraid of him, and he slowly stops laughing.
"I see that you are ill-equipped", says the Sorcerer. "But nontheless, I admire your bravery to save the Princess, but that does not mean I will go easy on you. I have killed hundreds of men, and another body on the pile won't bother me. Now, let us begin, for the Princess is watching." You take a quick look up at the main tower and see a spot of purple in the window. You smile, knowing that she'll witness the greatest fight on the planet.
You direct your attention back to the Sorcerer as he says "Bombazzl van dizel." You start to hear a rumbling sound when...
