***

A grand adventure was about to unfold to a young swordsman from a humble village called Frostwood. He had come of age. And it was his most awaited day in his whole eighteen years of existence.

Galloping on a horse was a young man named Arth. His ocean-blue eyes were gently kissed by the afternoon sun rays, making his eye color more pure and vibrant. The strong blowing of the north wind let his hair, as black as the darkest night, dance with the cold breeze. He was dressed with a long, blue coat that covered his fair skin, reaching down to his knees.

“Finally,” Arth bit his lower lip in excitement. Chills ran down through his whole body, giving him a mix feeling of freedom and uncertainty. He just had left from his home, Frostwood Village, to enter a competition in Casterfall City. It was held every three years to search for the most skilled and talented warriors all across Glacia.

"Let's go buddy," Arth told his horse and they went full speed ahead. The huge city of Casterfall was located in the far north of Frostwood Village and it would take about one and a half day to get there riding on a horse. As they traveled north, the wind became colder than ever. Arth already expected this, now that he was going to the depths of the cold country.

As they reached the top of a snowy hill, the big city was finally seen ahead. The side of Arth’s lips suddenly rose and his eyes widened in excitement.

“Casterfall City,” Arth blinked his blue eyes a couple of times. "It's bigger than I ever imagined!" he whispered to himself.

As they went near, he was amazed of the highly-built stone walls of the city. There was a moat or a body of cold water that surrounded Casterfall. Silver armored knights with white capes flying on their back were marching, guarding at their positions behind the crenellations on top of the walls. They had shining helms, each having a blue plume, also known as a feather, on top.

“Those elegant armors are killing me,” Arth shook his head in awe. He jumped off his horse and dragged its rope as he walked on the wide wooden drawbridge across the cold body of moat. There were two armed knights guarding the gatehouse. One of them raised a hand, signaling Arth to stop.

"Another warrior for the competition?" the knight asked with one brow raised. He scanned Arth from head to toe, gazing at his blue cloak that covered his whole body. 

"Yes, sir," Arth replied politely and bowed a little. Wait... why am I bowing my head? He's not a lord or a king, he thought, then quickly straightened his body. That’s embarrassing.

"You can find the registration in the Standard Knight Academy," the knight gestured his hand towards the left direction.

"Thank you, sir."

The two knights nodded and let Arth pass. He started walking through the gatehouse with his horse while looking around. The road was made of cobblestone covered with dirt and snow.  Both sides of the tunnel had arrow loops where Arth saw armed archers guarding behind those holes. He could hear some armors clanking and footsteps marching. Those were probably coming from the walkways above the walls.

As Arth went out of the big tunnel towards the inner gate, his lips slightly parted in amazement, seeing the high structures and towers on the city. There were a lot of people seen even from the entrance. The smell of the air was completely different from what Arth had been used to from his village. There was a combination of husk and thick scent. It was not as fresh as the air in Frostwood because of the difference in the population. He raised his head looking up to the cloudy skies and realized that snow had already stopped falling.

Arth walked towards the left direction where the knight told him. While looking around, his eyes were suddenly caught by the Upper Ring at the center of the city. There stood the Keep where the Lord of Casterfall was living. The magnificent structure was elevated from the ground level and there were huge staircases as a way towards the Keep.

“Woah,” Arth took a pause as he saw a weapon shop. Looking through the glass window, several swords and armors were displayed. They screamed with elegance and power with their unique designs and marks. He stepped near the windows and looked closer. When he saw the prices, his jaws dropped in shock.

“Two-thousand gold pieces?!” Arth whispered loudly. It was already a fortune, having that kind of amount. And what he had was only a few silver coins as living expenses, enough for a couple of weeks. Growing up from his village, the only source of his income was harvesting woods. Frostwood was the only village in the north that supplies woods for different villages, cities, and the kingdom capital itself. He could work for his whole life, chopping trees, yet he would still be unable to generate such an amount.

As Arth continued walking, he noticed some people looking at him as he passed by. Seriously, their eyes are creeping me out, he thought. He slowly looked down, wondering why those people were watching him as if he was wearing some kind of a weird costume.

“Is this the Standard Knight Academy?” Arth whispered as he arrived at the opened gates leading towards a high building. “Yeah, it probably is,” he answered to himself before entering the gates. It was already filled with young warriors like him and there were some desks in front of the high building. He approached towards the last desk where a woman about the age of fifties was writing something on it.

While walking, Arth suddenly heard some warriors whispering. “He’s going to Lady Olivia,” one said.

“Oh no, poor him,” the other replied. “He’s dead.”

Arth furrowed his brows in confusion, but he just ignored them and asked the old lady at the desk. "Uh…Excuse me, ma'am. Is this the registration for the competition?"

“I told you, you brats should-“ The old woman stopped when she raised her head and looked at him. She tilted her head as her right eyebrow rose, surveying Arth's body covered with cloak.

Arth just smiled nervously. Seriously, why are they all looking at my cloak? Is there a problem with it? he wondered, shaking his head. The people here are scaring me.

When the old lady looked at Arth's face, her eyes widened. "Those blue eyes," she said with furrowed brows. "Where are you from, young man?"

"Frostwood village," he answered as he tried to touch his eyes, wondering what was wrong with it.

"Oh, I thought you're from Crown Galacer,"

"The kingdom capital?" Arth asked.

The lady nodded. "I never saw someone with blue eyes before, it's probably my lucky day!" she laughed out while shaking her head.

Arth's eyebrows stormed in confusion. Okay, now I believe she's a creep.

"What's your name?" the lady asked him as she took one paper on her desk.

"Arth,"

"Last name?"

"Can't you just put my first name only?"

The lady raised her brow, "Why? Where are your parents?"

"Because they’re dead?" Arth said matter-of-factly.

The old woman's mouth formed an 'O'. "So who raised you?"

"Chief Gregor Doran and Sarah Doran from Frostwood,"

She nodded and wrote something on the paper. "Okay, that would be... five silver coins," she gave Arth a number tag with a sling to put on his neck.

After paying for the registration fee, Arth wore the sling tag. He was number ‘eighteen,’ which made him a bit confused. He saw crowds of warriors but only eighteen registered in the competition. He realized that they were probably squires or students in the Academy.

"The competition will start later at one o'clock in the afternoon. There's a warriors' lounge on the third door of this building. You can rest there and get ready for later. We'll just call all of you about thirty minutes before the time," the lady explained.

Arth thanked the woman before walking away. He left his black horse at the stables on the right side of the building and went inside the academy, seeing many young men like him. They were dressed with different color coding of coats with white garments underneath.

The hallway was a lot warmer than Arth thought since it was crowded with people. The competing voices of the students were just too loud for his ears. Some were playing on the hall, some students were teasing each other, while some were laughing out loud with their group of friends. Arth never thought that academies like this would be so noisy… and wild. His eyes searched for the third door as he walked. Upon entering, he saw more warriors inside, who seemed to be his fellow competitors. There were about twenty beds on the room and some were sleeping while others were stretching up.

The warriors turned their heads to Arth as he stepped inside the lounge. He just looked down while walking slowly towards the vacant bed on the far end of the room. He immediately lied down on the soft bed, letting out a big breath before closing his eyes. He needed to rest a little before the competition since he had a very long travel. But the good thing is … he got here early.

CHAPTER 1 (PART 2): HIS FIRST STEP
  "Attention to all competitors!" a loud voice woke Arth up from his sleep. He slowly sat up on the bed and rubbed his eyes.   "You have thirty minutes to prepare and gather to the eastern entrance of the gatehouse!" the man said before going out and closing the doors.   Arth immediately prepared himself. He took off his cloak, now leaving him with his short-sleeved blue coat that revealed his muscled arms and fair skin. He tightened the strings on his limbs and wore his black belt. Then, he stood up and stretched his body as he saw the others already walking out of the room. He took his sword and locked the scabbard on his belt at the left side before following his competitors out of the building.   A lot of young warriors were already walking towards the gate entrance of the city. Arth looked around hoping that he would find his friend, Robert, but he couldn't. A few minutes later, a loud cheer thundered a

CHAPTER 2 (PART 1): KILL THE BEAST
  "Eeeek!"  The shrieking scream of a wild boar echoed throughout the dark forest as it got slashed by Arth’s blade, sharp and deadly. Dark and warm blood burst out of the beast’s wounded belly. Arth, who was standing in front, raised his Blackwinter sword with its sharp point aiming down towards the head of the boar. Without any hesitation, he landed a quick and direct thrust on its neck. It was a seamless plunge on the soft flesh. The boar died a few seconds after and a white, small sphere slowly appeared from its mouth. Arth took the white core and placed it on his jar. He grimaced, shaking his head in disappointment, looking at his jar that only contained white cores. ‘Where the hell can I find those B-class beasts?’ Arth thought. ‘Seriously, it's been almost two hours already and all I have collected are white cores from C-class. Damn it.’ Arth let out a huge breath. "We have to work

CHAPTER 2 (PART 2): KILL THE BEAST
  "We have another competitor coming through!" the announcer from the arena spoke. Holding his left shoulder, Arth walked towards the center of the stage where only four warriors left were seen, including Bran. He was moving a bit slower from the exhaustion of his whole body. If only he could skip the evaluation and just head straight to the lounge to rest. Looking around, Arth saw the crowded audiences sitting around the circular arena. Their loud, ongoing yells echoed around the place. At the center of the arena, there were three Grand Knights and one Grand Mage, standing in front of the warriors. One of them was Grand Knight Tera. Arth took a short glance at the Grand Mage who was wearing a white cloak with a ruby badge on his left chest. He already looked old because of his white hair and wrinkled face. Then Arth turned his eyes to Bran, whose face looked surprised of seeing him in the arena. ‘You’re lucky my arm is injured,’

CHAPTER 3: THE COLD KING
  "This … this is madness! I've done nothing wrong!" A filthy peasant agonized, kneeling on the ground with his hands chained. His dirty clothes have been torn as his dry skin revealed painful marks from intense torture. Along with him were two, dreadful bodies—no heads, lying while blood spurted and flowed on the stone floor. He was the last one to be executed on the underground dungeon of the castle. "The court has already proven you guilty. I’ve no pity to those who defy the laws," Kael Denvorn replied in a cold voice as he stood high in front of the foul prisoner. The silver-armored knight beside Kael handed over a long and sharp sword. "How did I end up to this madness? It was that damn noble who drugged and tortured my family to death! Where the hell is justice in that? That monster should be the one to be punished!" the man cried out with tears falling down from his bloodshot eyes. “You’re all rotting demons… all of you…”

CHAPTER 4 (PART 1): THE FORGOTTEN WINTER
  "Why is the supply of woods lacking from yesterday's delivery cargo? I received only half of what is requested!" The dark and loud voice of the Lord of Casterfall had stopped Arth from taking a step down the staircases. The sun still had not risen, but he was already asked to meet Lord Nicholas at this very early. The sleeves of Arth’s white cotton garment reached unto his hands, then partnered by his brown trousers. It was the only decent and presentable outfit he got from his bag. His black hair had also been fixed to the side, leaving some strands on his forehead. Thanks to the herbal medicines, his head injury had a smaller bandage now that it has almost recovered. Wood supply? Arth repeated in his mind with his brows furrowed. He wondered if Lord Nicholas was talking about Frostwood, since it was the only village who supplies wood resources. He tiptoed behind the wall to eavesdrop on what the lord was ranting about. "The v

CHAPTER 4 (PART 2): THE FORGOTTEN WINTER
  Warm air welcomed them upon stepping inside. An open space at the center had long couches and a low table. The blazing fireplace gave warmth and light to the entire living room. The floor was finished with wood and the glass windows had dark curtains covering it. Arth was walking around when he got a bitter and burned scent in the air. "What's that smell?" he asked. Robert looked up and sniffed, then his eyes widened in surprise. "Oh dammit … Alice!" he grunted, storming through the hall. Arth wanted to know where the scent was coming from, so he followed Robert. The hall had two doorways on each side. The first one Arth had passed by was the dining area, and the second one was the kitchen. At the end of the hall was a staircase leading to the second floor. "What on Earthos are you doing?!" Robert's loud voice thundered from the second doorway ahead. As Arth entered the kitchen, the smell of the burning food got stronger. Robert

CHAPTER 5 (PART 1): HIS FIRST MISSION
  "Heads up, bro. Show me what you've got!" Robert said, pointing a finger at Arth’s face. It was a cold morning and they were standing on the snowy ground right beneath their tree house. Arth had worn nothing but a brown-sleeved shirt, paired with loose trousers despite the freezing morning air. His body had already grown used to the temperature, growing up, living his entire life in the north. On the other hand, Robert was on his black winter coat, reaching down unto his knees. Both of them carried an axe on one hand. "Wait,” Arth furrowed his eyebrows, looking at the axe he was holding. “I thought we’re training?” Robert guffawed after hearing what he had said. “What do you mean training? This …” he lifted his axe, “is part of your training, bro. You have to learn first all the chores on our guild," he tapped Arth's shoulder, "And today, you're starting with mine!" "So you're tasked to harvest woods?" "Cooking is my main job wh

CHAPTER 5 (PART 2): HIS FIRST MISSION
  “What?” Arth whispered to Robert, taken aback. "I have already thought of that … Arth, can you do it?" Lucas raised an eyebrow. Janshai snorted, breaking the short silence in the room. "Bet this amateur won't last," he said, staring at Arth with a dead-serious look. "First missions have high mortality rate." Arth looked down, clenching his fists. "He'll be fine," Luna told Janshai. "Mortality rate is only high when you're alone." Janshai shrugged, then looked away. "This is a dangerous mission, Arth,” Lucas said. “You'll be raiding the main hideout of bandits … and it’ll only be the two of you. One mistake could be lethal. But don't worry. Believe in Luna's skills. She'll cover you.” Luna turned to Arth. "You hear that? Trust me, I’m a master archer." Arth nodded at her. "I'll do my best, boss.” "Very well," Lucas said. "Luna, Arth, your mission is to wipe out the bandits attacking Whiteground Vil

CHAPTER 6: THE NEW MEMBERS
  "So you’re the dual-blade wielder everyone has been speaking of …" Kael nodded, his eyes looking amused. “You have interesting skills … you have a name?” A young man was lying on the ground, catching his breath, wiping the trace of blood on his wounded lips. They stood in an open ground of Cold Hills Village, a place used as a training ground for swordsmen as it was fenced with metal bars. The young man winced as he stood up, holding his gut that had been hit by Kael from their fight earlier. His age seemed like in twenties … or below, judging his sharp and juvenile face. A black, leather cloak covered his fair skin, reaching down to his knees. His sharp, gray-colored eyes matched his bright, silver hair perfectly. He picked up the two swords on the ground, then returned them to their sheaths, forming an X on his back. "Tristan," he replied as he wiped the tracks of dirt on his cloak. Kael nodded and then sheathed his sword. "I’
