The Adventure of Arthur

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Lordaeron with the emblem of double dragon hurling fire besides a golden phoenix.
Being one of the five greatest powers on Middle Earth, Lordaeron was reigned by King Arthas the Fifth.

The story begins with the coming of the first and the only prince to the kingdom of Lordaeron.

It was a windy dark night, lightnings struck among the clouds and mist that surrounds the Faber Castle, the castle where the king and the royalties lived.
The queen was giving birth, and the king was waiting anxiously in his library.
The king always went to library when he felt nervous.
And then, out of a sudden,
a head popped out, then the arms, body and legs.
The king had his first ever prince after waiting for almost half of his life time.
The queen died in giving birth to her child.

The prince was named Arthur.

'Hold on, i thought the prince was named Arthas the Sixth?'
' Ya, originally yes, but apparently, the Department of Childbirth got it wrong and typed the name ' Arthur' on the birth certificate.'
' What? They have such department back then?'
' Yes, its a branch department of Ministry of Health, but, anyway, it has nothing to do with the story.'
' Wait wait, i thought the King was the ruler of the country, why can't he just fix the mistake?'
' Well, to fix it, there are a lot of procedures to be done, first, u have to fill up Form J, then Form A, Form B, Form C to Z. So, maybe the King wasn't so free back then.'
' Wait wait, what about...'
' Hey, u better shut up or i'll fire you!'
'...'


So, the son of the great king had his days as child,
He was growing stronger and stronger each day,
He had his archery lessons, riding lessons, bla bla bla...

When he turned 16, the king decided to send him out to the jungle to strengthen his will.
' Each child of Lordaeron will be sent to the jungle when he turned 16, you too, my son, I have faith in you that you will be a stronger person upon completion of this task.'said the King.
' Yes, father. I shall overcome any challenges that awaits me in the wood.' replied the ambitious prince confidently.

And so, Arthur went into the wood alone, carried only a rusty sword and a broken shield with no clothes except short pants made of leopard skin on him.

He walked in cautious inside the jungle referred as a deadly dangerous land where mighty wild beasts were everywhere.

All of a sudden, he heard some noise!
His heart were pumping so fast that he was filled with adrenaline as he thought the noise was made by some wild beast walking nearer and nearer to him.
To his surprise, he saw a deer hopping away from a bush right in front of him.
'Phew...what a prince i am to be frightened by some small animal..' he calmed himself down.
It was then when he realised he was covered in a dark shadow, so big that he couldn't even see his own.
He turned his body, only to discover that a beast was standing in front of him!
It was a 7 foot tall, muscular mighty werewolf!
And the beast roared so loudly as if it were ready to attack Arthur.
' Hey, are you a werewolf? Cause you have thick chest hair just like the ones in the story...'asked Arthur who never saw a werewolf before.
'Arguuhh..Graghh....i am the mighty werewolf ....and i am gonna have you as lunch....Grghhhh' answered the werewolf.
' Wait, you haven't ate? oh, poor werewolf, come,let's have this.' Arthur took out a wrapped food from his pocket. ' I sneaked that out just in case i have food to eat when i am hungry.'
'Arguuhh..Graghh...that is not enough for me...Grghh...i will eat you....Grghhh'
'What! You greedy beast!' Arthur sliced the werewolf with his rusty sword, only to discover his sword broken into pieces.
The werewolf attacked Arthur with its deadly claws which broke Arthur broken shield into few pieces.
' That is why i hate using weapons!' Arthur jumped backward to evade the fierceful attack of the werewolf.
Missed the attack, werewolf charged angrily towards Arthur. Arthur rolled to the right and managed to evade the dreadful attack.
And so, Arthur fought the beast for 3 days and 3 nights.

On the fourth day, he returned to the castle with the necklace made of the teeth of werewolf and was wearing his new cloth- a cloak made of werewolf's skin.

A ceremony was held for his survival of the test and he gained the acceptance of the royalties and the people as the predecessor of his father, to becoming the next King!

This is the beginning of the adventure of Arthur.
