Prologue:
In the beginning, there were two powerful beings. One a god, the other a goddess. These deities created the world we know of. Together, they shaped the land and gave it life. But with life came a price: the creation of man. They created humans and spread them throughout the land, where man made seven separate kingdoms, each devoted to the worshipping of the god and goddess. But evil arose in the heart of man. War broke out amongst them. The godly pair created a third god to send to this world in order to control man. But this god harnessed man's evil for his personal gain and became powerful to the point of near-invincibility. The original god and goddess created seven powerful gems, bestowing one upon each kingdom. Seven heroes, gems in hand, waged war against the evil god. They were eventually able to use the gems to seal away this malicious deity, but not before six of the seven kingdoms were destroyed.
The seven holy gems were lost to time, and the survivors of the war rebuilt civilization. Evil was nonexistent... for some time. Man, as well as the god and goddess, knew that the evil deity would one day return. The godly couple created a sacred tome, and gave it to the surviving kingdom. This tome prophecized the return of of the evil god. Over millennia, malice slowly seeped back into the heart of man.
This world was named Victoria. The surviving kingdom was dubbed Codune. The kingdom of Codune is currently on the brink of war with its neighbors.

"I find the defendant guilty!" announced the judge.
Alex Carlisle sighed. He'd done his best to defend the defendant, but even his greatest efforts couldn't cheat the law. His client was guilty. He knew that.
"The defendant shall be sentenced to immediate public execution!" the judge announced emotionlessly. Alex couldn't help but wonder how many people he had sentenced to death over the years. He'd been the kingdom's high judge for as long as Alex could remember. His name was Harry Lawson, humorously.
"I call for an appeal!" Alex cried.
"Denied. This case has been dragged out long enough."
Alex walked over to the man he'd been defending. Winston Cunningham. "Sorry, Winston," he said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "But you can't hide from the law forever."
Winston was notorious for being a high-end assassin. Alex, along with everyone else in the kingdom, knew it. Solid proof just hadn't shown up until now, in the form of a witness.
Lance Flinn Tolkein was this witness. Cunningham had assassinated his father when Lance was young, but it had taken years to prove it.
Alex glanced around the courtroom. He caught the eye of Kirinen Aberita, a well-known citizen of Codune. Word on the street was that she'd accidentally burned down her house down several years ago. She'd escaped, but her family did not. She'd served as a member of the jury during the trial.
Alex couldn't help gut feel ashamed for this blemish on his record. Born as a commoner, he always yearned to lead more than a simple blue-collar life. He was always intelligent(marked by his brown glasses), and had decided to study diplomacy in school. He eventually earned the title of "Lord" and became a diplomat and ambassador to the kindom; the most successful in Codune. And he was only fifteen. He wore a black suit with a large red cape, had brown eyes and hair of the same color that stuck up like a crown over his forehead. The high life had gotten him somewhat chubby, however. He carried a sword in a sheath for protection. He was also a capable attourney, and this trial marked one of the few times he'd failed in one of his duties.
Cunningham was grabbed by two guards and escorted outside the courtroom. They were obviously going take him to the Gallows in the public square.
"Lord" Alex Carlisle moved along with the bustling crowd, dreading to have to watch even this guilty man be executed.
((Now, I need the rest of you to find your way to the town square to watch the execution one way or another.))
