The Land Of The Forgotten Realm part 1
Long ago in a place far away between heaven and earth lived a King of Warriors.His name was Mortak and lived in the Land of the Forgotten Realm with his son Syrus. Mortak and his son had endured many battles as they fought together against their enemies who tried to take over his Kingdom.Mortak and his song had won their freedom and stood by his people who lived in his kingdom by Greenstone Valley, where people were under the rule of Mortak. Mortak had been challenged by those who sought to destroy him.But Mortak had the instinct to kill and the willingness to survive.
Time seemed to be going against him.The enemies who wished to take him over seemed to have no reason, but to take over more territory. But when the enemy tried to rise against him, he stood for those moments of glory that he stood for.He fought with a power greater than anyone ever knew, with his fellow warriors at his side. But Mortak had a secret. He knew that time was catching up with him.He had to choose a different path. He knew that he could not go on with the feeling that he was being followed.He knew that things could only get worse, and never better.He was tired of fighting, and there seemed to be no way out.He was searching blindly for something that in his life did not exist. Something in this game he could not win. That was peace and serenity.A path to a new freedom. If he did not do something soon, Time was running out.Mortak was trying to believe in a power that lie within--a new way of thinking.. or a way of helping people through these hard times when war seemed to have no end. Before the next battle, he told his son Syrus...that when the enemy comes again, that they must be ready. Mortak and Syrus along his warriors must be ready and fight to the end. They must be the last survivors, and then Mortak wished to move away to a place where he could find peace, and Syrus could take over the Kingdom.So Mortak said :--I must leave this place and go far away from here, to find a new home where I can start over again.No matter what happens to me, I will always love you, and I will remember you as I look for a new freedom.I listen to one voice, the voice of God. And you shall never be forgotten. There is no turning back!

I see that you listed this as part 1. It seems like a good start to a story, but I would like to see more details added to your next part. You told this part of the story in broad strokes where each sentence could probably be expanded to a paragraph.

This is a powerful exploration of the human desire for peace and freedom, amidst the chaos of war and responsibility..
