1: Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a world known as the Desert of Dreams (the exact awesomeness of that name I will leave to someone els to think come up with). It was ruled by a humorous evil King, whose name was Horatio the Not-Very-Nice. Horatio the Not-Very-Nice didn't care about the people and spent tons of money on himself. There were few who had the guts to speak against the King for fear of being punished, but a few, a rare few, were willing to oppose his rule. The King had daughter whose name was Edith. Beyond the Desert of Dreams city, there were many dangerous quests with large spoils and beautiful fair maidens. Only the bravest knights were willing to face these treacherous lands and most all of them fail. But three men, just three men, were ready to face the challenge.
