The Charm

History.

Long time ago, where the sun softly raised above the
leafy forests and the day just counted a few hours.
In misty, shadowy lands.

Our hero, who can now be mentioned as such, whose name was
then strange, Sir Oup, hanged on a gate that gave entrace
to King Chardy's castle. The king had requested his presence.
After following a peasant, who took him to the king, Sir Oup
found his majesty bereaved and almost unconscious, sitting
on his throne but restless.

- "May you be welcome to my castle and kingdom", said the
king with an exultant tone.

- "Few knights are left, and none has earned my full
confidence, like you do", he continued, "The kingdom is
in great danger!", he sighed.

- "All my loyal citizens and those who had sweared
obedience to me, have allied with an enemy whose power is
higher than mine. I am unaware of their reasons, but I
guess terror on their hearts and souls must have influenced
greatly, for that power comes from hell itself.
And I understand that, Sir Oup". He said, "I truly
understand it, but I have no more energy to fight against it."

Right then, a strong wind slammed the door, loudly opening it,
and a cold burst went over the room, shriveling the little
light maintained by the candles.

- "Wait no more, open that chest and take the only weapon that
will allow us to be free from that evilness. For there is no
sword or dagger it is afraid of. Take it and reach my faithful
citizens, give them what was stolen from them and keeps them
in this state of insanity. In return, I will give you anything
you ask me for."

Suddenly, a dense fog covers our hero, who wakes up from a
strange dream to see himself surrounded by the foliage at the
surroundings of the castle. He carries a vessel with a misterous
potion.

Raising the vessel to the clear sky, Sir Oup said:

"I swear by my king and my honor as a knight, I will do everything
that has been entrusted to me. I will, even if it kills me, break
the Charm".
