I wrote a short prologue last year that sparked the very essence of what Guelstie is today. The following story details the beginning journey of Sess, Saos’s son. Over a decade has passed since the events in Elemental Awakening unfolded and forever changed the world of Guelstie. Both continents are at full war and only Sess holds the key to putting a halt to the elemental dragons plot.
GUELSTIE – AFTERMATH OF THE ELEMENTAL AWAKENING
Sparks flew as Garnt’s hammer struck a glowing red hot iron bar.
He was not a particularly large person, but was stocky and indeed capable of holding his own. The man’s sweat drenched his faded brown and grey hair, but his dark brown eyes squinted to keep the deluge from drowning his vision. Sess had heard stories of Garnt’s valor from his father when he was younger, but hadn’t thought they would actually meet again under these circumstances.
“I haven’t held a sword for anything other than inspection in nearly a decade Sess. Yet, you feel as if you can waltz in here referencing your father’s good name as a reason for me to join your cause?” The burly man panted heavily as his swings began to progressively intensify. Garnt’s forearms flexed with every motion, displaying the many years of work put into his craft.
CLANK! CLANK!
More sparks began to shower the floor like a burning metallic rain.
CLANK! CLANK!
It reminded Sess of the rough winter weather from which they were taking shelter. The snow flurried without remorse, and it now seemed as if the exact opposite was taking place in front of him. His father had always been a source of inspiration to the young man, encouraging him to see the wonder of every surrounding. However, his death was what led him here to Garnt’s abode. Though he had been tracked for several days on his journey to Garnt’s home, Sess had finally felt confident enough to drop his guard.
“I will craft for you the finest blade this side of the Huruan River, but my blacksmithing skills are the only ones I can offer.”, Garnt’s words echoed a sense of pride as he tirelessly worked the hot metal.
