KOLDS PROLOGUE Fear. The ultimate weapon. When applied properly, you could win entire wars without lifting so much as a finger. I have seen it used time and time again. And it works. For I am terrified.. Terrified of an enemy I have never even seen. I know not who they are or where they will come from. But I do know they are coming. It was foretold by the greatest wizard any realm has ever known. Fiermore. Just as I was crowned king, he warned of a shadow. One that will bring a force unlike any have seen before. If we are not ready for them, it will bring about the destruction of ALL kingdoms. I can NOT let this happen! It will bring me great pain. The people will hate me. But they will live. Many sacrifices will have to be made.. He claims that we are already on borrowed time, and that I must act fast if we are to have any hope of survival. The shadows army will start amassing and begin their march at the end of our first century.. Any day now.. The great wizard has set out to try and buy us more time if he can. But that was months ago. None have heard from him since.. What am I to do? The battle for our lives may begin any moment and I do not believe we are ready. I am sorry.. To everyone.. For everything.. *Massive earthquake* It has begun! The shadow approaches! THE AZURITE KING
