The dark sky was lighted by the red glow. The smell of sulfur was in the air. Cries rose from the night silence. In a distance a big fire burst out-the castle of the King was burning. The flames twisted the towers like snakes. Soldiers were running around, carrying buckets of water and trying to stop the conflagration. Between the poison fumes a tall figure of a man was to be seen. He was in armor and held his sword in his hand. In front of him were the broken chains, where the beast used to lie. But how? Who released him?
Another figure approached.
“My lord… I have bad news- the Tower of the Mage was destroyed and the Tear of Asha…it’s missing, my King? The Dragon stole it…”
By these words the King turned to his servant. Worry was written on his face.
The Tear of Asha was a powerful jewel- it was made from the tears of the last Phoenix, and it kept the balance between good and evil.
“Stolen! The Tear of Asha is stolen! We must…”
But before the King finish his sentence a spout of fire came from the sky, destroying everything left from the fortress. None survived from the furious attack of the beast.
A terrifying squeal resounded in the night and it boded ill for the human kind.
--------------------
Somewhere deep in the mountains, a cloaked figure was standing and looking down at the destroyed castle. In this moment a huge shadow flew above the trees and landed near the spot here the cloaked person was standing.
“You’re late.” A soft, but cold voice said. The person under the cloak was a woman.
“It seems that you’re not as skilled as you said.” answered the Dragon. “It took me a while till I could break the chain.”
“Did you get it?”
“Of course.” The giant lizard opened his filmy paw. A small, shiny stone glittered under the moonlight.
“Excellent.” said the woman. Under her cloak she grinned with joy. “Now, give it to me.”
“No.” answered the Dragon and hid the stone. “What’s my profit of all this? I could get killed because of this stone.”
“Hmmm…As expected from someone like you.” said the woman. “Very well then. I’ll leave it to you to guard it. But when the time comes I’ll come back for it.”
With those words the woman turned around and vanished in the shadows. The Dragon flew away, searching for a cave, where he could hide his treasure.
---------------------
Five years have past since the fiery night, when the Tear of Asha was stolen. The Kingdom fell apart in 4 shires, ruled by the Kings finest Knights. The Order of Asha, however, managed to survive. The counts gathered every 6 months to discuss what to do to reunite the Kingdom. The Leader of the Order, count Ossir of the Northern Shire- the King’s left hand and best General, insisted the Tear of Asha to be found, in order to choose a new ruler of these lands, but still the shires were weak because of the attack of the Dragon.
“It’s still early, my lord” said Natasha- the King’s First Counselor and the only survivor from Anapolis- the Kingdom’s capital. “We aren’t strong enough. We should wait.”
But that morning on 7th June, when the 9th Meeting of the Order of Asha took place, everyone agreed that the time has come for action.
“We can’t wait anymore.” said count Godric of the Western Shire.
“If we do, it’s going to be too late.” agreed count Peter of the Southern Shire.
“What will be your decision, count Ossir?” asked count Irolan of the Eastern Shire.
“Very well then.” said Ossir. “Gather your finest soldiers! The time has come to find the Tear of Asha and the new true Ruler of these lands.”
Natasha, who was standing in the shadows, came forth.
“I shall go as well.” said she.
“But, lady Natasha, it’s too dangerous!” said count Irolan. “You can’t…”
“Count Irolan, if you want this mission to have success, you will let me go. We have business with one of the most dangerous creatures ever existed- the one who even broke the Chains of Alaya. Let me help your soldiers in their quest.”
The counts whispered for a while and turned to Ossir and nodded in agreement.
“It’s decided then.” said Ossir.
“Gather every 2 best soldiers from each shire. We’ll meet on the left bank of Archangel River in 10 days from now. I’ll be waiting there.”
Natasha stood up and left the hall.
They fell for it thought she.

And here we have another fantasy RP.
So, as you see, the plot is quite ordinary- the never-ending battle between good and evil. This time all is about the Tear of Asha- an ancient gem, which keeps the balance between good and evil and which is stolen by the Dragon.(thanks to Natasha, who is the traitor actually)
The task of the 8 Knights will be to find and destroy the Dragon and to bring back the Tear of Asha
