Dark Souls: Drangleic -Prologue-

For many years the kingdom of Drangleic. Ruled by the virtuous king. King Vendrick, has watched over the lands for many years. Now, as the kingdom was at it's greatest height. A darkening is coming to the kingdom, from where? None dare say against the kingdom.

"There is no path. Beyond the scope of light beyond the reach of dark. What could possibly await us? And yet we seek it. Insensibly such is our fate". And old hooded man said to himself, looking out of his window of his keep. He was the oldest brother of the king, Aldia. "How did it come to all of  this? My brother, blind by love, illusions of peace. Yet so fragile, but now? It's lost". The old man sat upon his desk chair, and began writing his memoirs.

"My brother and I. We were polar opposites. One was more militaristic, while me. I was the scholar. A more humble man, well we both were. We dream of conquest, peace, glory. All the things that a hero can fantasize about. However, such things are suppose to be meet with utter caution. For a single wrong step, it could mean everlasting chaos and lost hope". "Brother!" said the Vendrick, "We have come this far. Not as far as the many other monarchs who ruled these lands before us" the king said as he looked towards the horizon. Aldia scoffed and said, "And yet? What has happened to these kingdoms? They have come and gone. Not by war or famine, or disease. But the ignorance of their fate". Vendrick ignored his brother's rambling, "This land. Will be mine". Vendrick unsheathed his sword and orders his troops forward.

For many months now. The king, waged war against the fossils of these old kingdoms that came before Drangleic. And now? After these many months of endless battle, the kingdom was born. The kingdom of light, the kingdom of man.

"Bah! the so-called "Kingdom of Light, man. Whatever it is, it disgusts me. Brother have you seen the folly of your ways? You. You have destroyed everything the titular stands for". "No. I know what truly caused the downfall of this kingdom. It wasn't human ignorance or a weak king. It was a woman. Heh, our 'beloved queen' Even now, that title should not settle upon her name".


"Sire!" shouted Velstadt, as he ran towards his king while his majesty was ordering the provinces around. "Hm? Yes, what is it solider?" the king said, "A boat. It's approaching the docks". The king stood up in shock. "A boat? No flag or country?" he said, Velstadt shook his head and said, "No. No flag, or coat of arms of the kingdom". Vendrick took able bodied men towards the docks, as the soldiers rushed to prepare themselves. "Where's my brother?" as Vendrick asked his advisers, "He's not here" the king shook his head in disbelief and in anger, "Typical". The boat landed, the troops were ready, After a brief moment of silence, the king began shouting, "Passengers of the boat. This is the Kingdom of Drangleic. What business do you have here?" he shouted, no answer was heard. After a few moments, a door can be heard opening, royal guards appeared. They were, of course. Outnumbered. It was then, a woman appeared, in rags of sort. She unhooded herself and told her, her name to the king. "My name is Nashandra".
