Altair... An 18 year old guy with black hair and yellow eyes and calm expression and his body is lean and slightly ripped with few muscles who sells ice... He was in a bad financial state since winter came and no one buys ice... And that made Altair at one day search in a library for anything expensive to sell... Artifact,gold even jewels... And he found a book that's called The Zenith-cyclopedia after finishing the book... He set his goal to find the legendary "Zenith Dagger"
Altair packed his things up and before he goes... He went to a graveyard and stood in front of a grave that has the name "Erik Nordmann"... Then he whispered.
Altair : I... I'll go to that ancient castle Old man... I-I want to thank you... Thank you for raising me... I'm very grateful for you.
Altair put some flowers on the grave then left the place and walked to his horse as he started riding it towards an ancient castle on the summit of a mountain.
As Altair was riding his horse and coming close to the castle, a roar shook the air and the trees rustled wildly!
Altair looked up and his eyes widen in horror once he saw a dragon flying above him chasing him! Altair made a vocal command to his horse making it run faster and he started to guide the horse between trees and rocks to escape the Dragon's sight but there's no use!
The Dragon got closer and was about to eat him but it stopped just before Altair enters the castle's walls and it flied away.
Altair (Muttering and breathing heavily from fear) : Weird... That thing was about to kill me... Why did it stop?
Altair stopped his horse close to the gate and then entered it cautiously... And he saw the dagger on a platform glowing with golden light with each step Altair takes.
Altair grabbed the dagger and the dagger glowed violently then dimmed to soft glow.
Altair : Wow... I-It's real... I'M GONNA BE RI-
Suddenly a ghost that wears a crown and king's clothes appeared in front of him and stared deeply in Altair's eyes.
Ghost : Human.
Altair ( in scared voice ): WHOA! What are you!?
Ghost : It doesn't matter now... What matters is your mission.
Altair : Mission?
Ghost : You've made a grave mistake, human…Those you awakened… will not rest until they tear you apart... You must kill them!
Altair (Shocked) : K-Kill what!?
Ghost : My soldiers... The dagger is cursed, you'll encounter many monsters that wants to get it from you... To find peace you'll need to kill them all.
Altair : Well... Why don't you just stop them?
Ghost : I'm afraid I can't Human... I'm no longer physical... And you awakened me and them by taking the dagger.
Altair : I want to put it back!... I don't want troubles!
Ghost : It's too late human... You'll have to fight to survive... But don't worry... My soldiers are at Kalvingrom Village. Find them!
Altair from fear nodded frantically then left the place holding his head with one hand.
Altair : Oh boy... What did I get myself into?!
Suddenly a skeleton came running at him with a shield and spear trying to kill him!
Altair pulled his dagger out and he thought and wished if he had a big sword to defend him... Then suddenly the dagger glowed and transformed to a long sword!
Altair was surprised and then he dodged the spear and impaled the sword to the skeleton's skull making it fall and it dissolved!
Altair : That... Was... CRAZY!... I ain't selling that thing... I just simply thought of a weapon and it came in my hand!... I love it!
Altair then jumped on his horse again and as he rides it back to his hometown again... Suddenly the Dragon came again and then it hit Altair with its tail making him fly off his horse and his head hit the a tree and he fainted!
After a while a man's shadow appeared above his body
Man : Seriously man?... Getting drunk here?
The Man lifted Altair and put him on his moose and then took him away from that place.
