emporor zafriel, rules, raised an army, who are fighting against the king.

short , pale, short dark curly hair , old, antholo- another guy agains t the king king damont- evil, twists words, blond, claims to be god, most possibly is, was prophelised to unite acadia, theres a void, which sucks everyhtnig up like a vaccum. it opened when the king wanted it to. emproer used hte sword to close it. cornelius- king's captain, acadia-the empire, place where they live while the men of zafreal fight against king, he is still their king that they an swer to talk of "she", who is she, why no allowed to speak about her? zafriel and king meet, go to one side, fight, emprer zafreal seems to have a sword which can suck the very life out of someone king is lclose to death, cornelius interupts king feigns apology, emporer gets sword shoved through his stomach empororer does not die I DONT LIKE THE WAY THAT AT THE START ie up to page 27, THEY'RE ONLY REFERED TO AS "THE KING" AND THE "EMPORER". WE CAN ONLY ASSUME THE KING IS CALLED DAMONT. H E IS REFERED TO AS DAMONT ONCE. FOR THEREST OF IT HE IS KNOWN AS THE KING. emporer does not die, the king ends up with the sword through his heart king kind of dies, we see his "nothingness" WHICH OF COURSE IS SOMETHING BECAUSE IF ITS ALL DARK AROUND, YOU CAN SEE THE DARK. THAT IS SOMETHING. he hears motherly voice, doesnt know who it is apparently the world of the living wasnt done with him ---we meet a young blond man with grey eyes he has nothing to worry about bar his uncle THERE'S A LOT OF DESCRIPTION. THIS HELPS IN HTE WORLD BUILDING, BUT IT SLOWS IT DOWN. that young boy is damont. his old uncle calls him HELPFUL FOOTNOTES ONCE WE GET PASTTHE PROLOUGE, ITS OK (so the whole known world is called acadia?) damont is fairly determined. he doesnt like history or studying WE GET TO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF ACADIA THROUGH DIALOUGE brice, a caretaker the uncle (julian) is younger then he looks the cook and her daughter mrs darlyne, red hair, short, plump, julian and damont visit the kistchen sofiya, young, dark hair = mrs darlyne's daughter and the maid sofiya's scared of julian SO WHILE THE PROLOGUE IS TERRIBLE AND POINTLESS, THE REST IS OK. damont sets out on his black horse Jacque rides out, leaves jacque at a stables with mr welis, askes about the connerilli boys. they plan to purchase shops-that arent for sale. they're greedy. damont ma kes his way into town

damont is cheeky, talks back to inkeepers ^__the connerilli family kind of cheat people into selling their stores caleb, red hair, olive eyes, comes along. damont greets him like a friend. damont doest care about titles. caleb and damont go fishing ((theyre in garrina and some other nations are haldina Illiumia andZafreal)) they pop in on mrs montrey, a woman who runs a bakery to pay off dead husband's debts they end up by a tree, and see marlene, young, blonde. she works harvesting oran ge marlene speaks of prophecy and does not say what it is. she also says about a wolf on the loose ### day comes to an end, damonts riding in the woods. he meets a wolf which almost i mmediately vanishes chapter 2 he's at a ephesus(his tutor)'s libary and can see out of it to town and vatious nations ephesus, wants to teach everyone about the ancients who ruled acadia and their s ticky ends. damont obviously wants to kill ephesus for getting on everyone's nerves. damont kind of day-dreams in his daydream... (--) --he findsruins of a lost city --he finds a wall --he finds a fantastical helmet --he finds a fantastical sword --a womans voice tells him he has a journey to go on ---this is a dream he had a vague copy of as a child he is then woken up. ephesus tries to be nice to damont, explaining it all. still tells him off. ephesus tells damont about a prophecy in which... --a langorn brought peace to the land --a man had avision ----the langorn bloodline will recur agina, maybe not brinig peace ephesus gives damont amap of acadia with something differentmarkings of third era world. proof that everything ephesus rambles on about is true ephesus tells of ruins. damont starts to think-what if his dreams are real. damo nt finds caleb caleb is concerned for damont DESPITE THEIR DIFFERENCE IN CLASS, CALEB AND DAMONT ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY VERY GOOD FREIENDS damont goes home, tells darlyne about what happened tells uncle about what happened uncle things about it, then says he should stay awake THE WRITINGS FAIRLY LONG WINDED THE PROLOGUE WAS CONFUSING julian leaves suddenly at some point, damont notices a fire and takes horse out with him his town garribus has been set alight, ephesus's tower falls to bits, etc the fire was burning on the corpses of things a man is seen in black, the woman tells him to take up his destin

damont wakes, it was all a dream ==== damont sets off to hallinda searching for his uncle comes across conellini brother, tension they seee a carriage with someone in it, she may be royalty, but its unknown she says shes the gaurdian of the true king of the land julian returns just as damont sets off, damont doesnt go at all damont is told that actually he belongs to a different, legendary bloodline-that of larius langorn, a man who damont was a fairytale of course, damont doesnt agree julian is actually an ularian-like a wizard but has a power from own escence, no t spells ularian used to be hunted-now heyre not damont and julian leave to haldima, to claim it. then people should believe in l angorns, so then acadia can be united. basically this young boy will end up rep lacing the duke as ruler they start thri journet-tells of alfina a lost town-shares name with the wastela nds they travel. they come across a corpse of a boar with no blood on it-they dont know what kill ed it fight against a man and julia suddenly vanishes and ocmes back attacker unconciuos its a man form a group of raiders they then get to haldina HARD TO TELL TIMESCALE met by captian yirleus-who knows julain theyre going to meet the queen and duke VERY GOOD DESCRIPTION OF HALDINA they go throught the castle and learn of the history there haldina is ruled by duke therodyll the queen of illyiumia is hte one who speaks to damont? because laydy kynthia can see future , past and read minds. in the palace of haldina, damont still sees the wolf meets a pretty girl who guesses that damont is either king larius langorns ghost or heir over hears Plum p Maid and Miria talking abouta stranger who has been summoned and the something about blood and bieng unsure and does the duke know? they then say he may be death, and if so death is handsome. other one says that "if she falls for his charms, he'll be drinking her blood not a dead pigs blood" damont thinks about the wild boar in the woods... damont goes to a council-kynthia and julian are talk about threat-Zafreal! kynthia presents Damont as a langorn. everyones however, kynthia tells him he may not be suited s imporatnt-its also his actions. she says htat he will either bring a prosperous e he is told that he must go to the deep forests there. duke is not. like wtf for it. its not just linage that light age or aa terrible dark ag

he'll have to prove he is a langorn is told that he will go with amber riddenale-a sorceress, that pretty girl he me t earlier. also a warrier/hunter called virden this virden guy looks like the guy who could have been the one the maids were go ssipingabout, and may be the hting that killed that boar council ajourned julian is worried that the ogd of war and chaos may be planning damonts death... #

they leave virden and amber are asked to call him damont until he becomes king they come across a rider he does nothing but laugh virden goes missing an animal dies damont and amber agree its odd they reach lifarin and rest amber tells him about history damont might be falling in love virden tells him no cos hes goingto be kinbg one da virden leaves "to the tavern" larendor tells amber that damont is a demigod she doesnt belive him but its a warning-soemthing is watching him damont heres voices saying to come to it he goes explores to find the source he finds ambers body, but cant get there shadow creature shape of man, kind of its virden-a lamia . a demon. with fangs and blood and whatnot he wants damonts lbood- cos itll give him power damont slashes virden. virden thanks him. says that its to protect his sitter dianne-he's failed her he sees someone in black aromour, but doesnt know who it is p221 of 373 it was all a dream he wakes up a murder took place ITS QUITE SLOW UNTIL YOU GET TO HALFWAY THROUGH THEN IT PICKS UP AND IS MUCH BETTER ((AT THIS STAGE, ILL GIVE IT THREE STARS)) Amber doesnt belive him vireden finds diane, who speaks then leaves. virdne doesnt want her to leave diane is a ghost,who was killed by vidren. viden was her brother. damont and amber decide to leave they meet marckus, a asasin who should havek illed osmeoone close to amber but d idnt cos he was inlove with her the god of war, larendor, sent diane back to basically say that unless virden di dnt do osmething, shed go back to the equivalent of hell ((larendor is manipulationg them)

marcus is revealed as larendor. virden is revealed as a lamia larndor offers virden the chance to save the sister he killed cut to the palace kynthia weas found on the floor# she had a vision of a war-caused by damont and the emporers son, derric avren of zafreal, will fight damont at the end cut to zafrealean invasion of illyiumia. derrck kills lots of illumians old man warns him against the fifhting larendor visits derrick, who is guiding derrick. larendor tells derrick about the qwueen and how she wishes to revive the legend the duke thereodyll asked to come to zafreal to talk theodyll turns up therodyll is bitter-a child might sit in his throne, to rule the acadians duke offers halinder to derrick...he may become powerful

damont and amber and vermont keep travelling damont is definately in love with amber damont ocmes across virden speaking to diane they come across some ruins amber says that should he come to power, the kind will end all wars he goes into the ruins finds a woman who says she can be anyhting he wants ther to be its celendria who is attemtign to seduce him she wanted to protect him and failed again, that voice saying it wants damonts blood again, its virden standing there. with his fanfs out and fairly evil looking amber uses magic to knock him dowen she says he was posessed by a demon called diane she thinks he will be fine from now on they try to convince damont that the gods of old are real. it kinds of failsm th en works a warlock comes along and stabs virden with a blade of silver then a goddes cmoe along and reveals that she is his mother. shewasnt to show da mont and compantions who her father was and how he became king

flashback tells of a great war larius langorns kills people larius's friend was uncle julian ^--^ damont is told that cos hes half human and half god, he also has the gift of sig ht. so does the kings and ladies etc. theyre given advice etc the goddess leaves

(((((AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. THERE'S A JUMP. READ FROM THERE. PAGE 304)))))))) it is revealed that the wolf he's been seeing is acutally larius the lost king he decides to become un-immortal, to guide damont ((SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOST KING. )) ITS KIND OF HARD AGING DAMONT-AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS YOUNGER: AND THEN HE SAY S THAT HE TURNS 25. I NEVER REALISED HE WAS 24. MAYBE THATS WHY ITS HARD TO CONN ECT WITH HIM I LIKE THE WAY WE GET BACKSTORY-LOTS OF IT.

THE goddess sent damont and the others to a road
