Prologue
As the son light came streaming in through his bedroom window,
Codin,lazily yawned and slowly, got up out of his bed and walked over to the window.
It was a beautiful morning and Codin looked out of the window at the massive towers that went high up into the cloud's it would have made him dizzy if he hadn't of seen the view a thousand time's before.
The city of was like paradise to most with it's gleaming glass and polished metal building's and for some the city was an impressive utopia of safety from the outside world .
But for Codin, it was a cage and he wanted out. Even though Codin was 7 nearly 8 years old for some reason the stories of the Deadlands. as his people called them didn't scare him he wanted to see a Drasgon or talk to a savage Redaryan...
"Coodin are you awwake" that made Codin shake his little day dream out of his head..
Codin's little brother Roric stood at the entrance to Codin's bedroom
"What do you want you little pip squeak" Codin barked.
"Mum say's to come and get your food" Yeah,yeah I'm coming Codin said as he started to rummage around his closet for clothes.
Codin put on a pair of blue trousers and a black top..And walked down the corridor towards the kitchen..
Roric following behind babbling happily to him self.
As he walked into the kitchen. His father was talking to Astrid loudly as his mother pottered around preparing them breakfast..
"Sit down boy "his father said loudly "you took your time, day dreaming again was we lad" Astrid added in.
Codin just smiled and sat down. And looked on as his mum bought over breakfast.
"How is your combat training coming on now boy your father tells me your becoming quite the little warrior these day's"
Astrid said while stuffing a rasher of bacon in his mouth
Good i guess Codin said.
Codin loved combat training and he was one of the best in his class.
His master at arms, always praised him and said he had the skills of a boy far beyond his years.
"I think we have got another Magnus Dreslayer on are hands here" Astrid roared
Both Astrid and Codin's dad laughed out loud..
"Leave the boy alone" is mother added in, "he's going to be late for the academy"
Astrid and his father carried on eating their breakfast loudly.
As Codin finished up quickly and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
He could still hear Astrid, and his father talking loudly of the battles that they had had together..If Codin had time he would have sat listening, to them tell their war stories all day long.
One thing about Codin's dad Magnus was that he was one of the greatest Llaryan warrior's there was and Codin Idolized him.
"See you all later" Codin said as he made his way to the exit from his home. Grabbing his blue and black jacket off the hook in the corridor as he left..
"Goodbye" they all yelled out together. As the glass elevator doors closed behind him.
"Oi boy you show them Blayran bastards how a true Llayran fights"
His father shouted as the elevator sped downwards.
I will dad..I will Codin muttered to himself...
Chapter 1
Even though there was a lot of talk lately about the decline in the Llaryan population Codin didn't really notice .There still seemed to be plenty of Llaryan's, about. Not that he had ever gone over to the Blaryan side to find out.
The only time the Llaryans and Blaryans met lately was when their academy's met to compete in mock battles.
Thinking about it it was strange but since the new Patriach Lyttus, took over five years ago that's the way thing's became.
"Codin took your time this morning, i thought you would have been one of the first here with being the son of Magnus the dreslayer and all"
His friend Ivar shouted out from the top of the academy steps
Codin laughed loudly, as he walked up the steps towards him.
"I'm ready my friend " Codin said.
"just hope you can fight as well as you did the last time we fought shits"
Ivar laughed out,
Let's just hope well be doing, some close combat training again. So i can kick some ass with an energy sword Codin said with a massive grin on his face..
The two boy's walked into the academy laughing, as they went. As they walked in to the entrance hall, they met up with two other boy's in their group Nekar and Brodir
"There's a gathering happening at the back of the hall" Brodir said out loudly..
Brodir was big for his age and very strong.. his father Ulfric Skull splitter was one of Codin's Father's oldest friends.
"Come on lets go and see" Ivar added in.
Something didn't feel right as the two boy's walked, towards the back of the hall of the academy there was a really strange atmosphere and the boy's soon found out why.
