The Tale Of Jerrick, Chapter 1 Options

[Shinnok]

My name is Jerrick Ettiene, son of Claude Ettiene and Arrielle Ettiene. I am Breton born and raised in High Rock. I had few luxuries for my father was a Fisherman. We lived in a small cottage near the Bjoulsae River living off the fish my father caught. At the age of 12 my father let me go hunt in the forests to provide for my Mother who fell ill. That's when it all started.
I was 18 and I left to the forests when I found a dead guard against a tree stump, horrified I ran foward to see barbarians ripping each others flesh off. Next to the gruesome onslaught were dozens of dead guards.
There remained only one of these madmen he checked to see if anyone one else stood in the forest and he saw me. I jumped forward ready for battle, he circled around me waiting for the right time to strike. But anxiety took the best of me and I rushed towards him axe in hand. Before I could start my Hack N
Slash tactic he kicked me in chest sending me flying backwards.
I fell nearly 10 feet away from where I was. Know I knew the measure of his strength . I waited for him to attack this time. He lunged towards me so I rolled to the side and plunged my axe into his shoulder he howled in pain but with another kick I again went flying. Acting quickly he ran to strike a final blow but I hid behind a tree into which he jumped face first paralyzing him for a few seconds.
I punched him in the face trying to get in any hit I could, trying make his nose bleed and pop his eardrums. He fell I picked my axe from his shoulder and plunged it into his head killing him.

I stepped into the quarters of General Addantus a very tall imperial, one his most visible features was the long scar running down his left cheek.

And though he was a general in the imperial army he was no older than 30.

“ Marcus, what is your status ?” he asked

“ The Moonsugar operation was successful, but there were many casualties”.

“ How many casualties”.

“ All of the men sent other than me”.

“ What!”.

“ Sir, the bandits went insane somehow they became stronger more agile, they killed everyone. But this young man without any prior training was able to kill 3 bandits”.

“ Young Man, what is your name”. he asked

“ Jerrick Ettiene”.

Marcus explained to General Addantus how he wanted to train me as a new recruit.

Then General Addantus reached into his desk with his long elegant fingers and pulled out a large registration a quill and ink.

I signed my name on the top and continued to fill out the form.

It also required me to sign my class, I chose the battle mage class with the Major skills being Blade, Heavy Armor, Alteration, Mysticism, Destruction, Restoration and Alchemy

“ Tomorrow you will receive training but until then get some rest and get to know the rest of the recruits”.

As I left Marcus called me “ Come with me we are going to go eat”.
