Warlord

(Prologue)

Total war. I have played all of them. From mediaeval to Britannia. I don’t know what it is with me and ancient wargames but I just love it.

I am also a Brony considering it falls in line if you ignore all the random technology advancements.

I written many books where I combined the two together. I never publish them, I was too nervous to.

I love going on the hardest mode and picking the weakest nation. Something about doing the impossible drives me further.

sometimes I catch myself calling me a general. I probably wouldn’t even be able to stand up to the generals nowadays but I think I would like to try.

Besides I’m only 22 and I still have my life in front of me. But still I wish I was in the olden days. Being able to be on the front lines with my man and able to do a last stand would drive me crazy with excitement.

(Dingdong)

My doorbell rang as I was finishing up Rome: total war. I went downstairs to my kitchen and took a right. In front of me was the door and when I opened it up the cool blizzard outside greeted me.

On the ground there was a package. There is nothing but a note on it. I grab the package and took it inside. I put it on the kitchen table and open the fridge for some food, forgetting breakfast this morning.

As I grab a quick snack of PB and J I noticed the package with the note on it. Something about that package just drove me crazy like I needed to open it.

Eventually my urge gave in and I grabbed a knife to cut it open. I open the note first and inside was a letter that only said “from a friend”.

Ignoring the letter I open the package. I had to close my eyes due to whatever was inside. I tried opening my eyes but it was still too bright.

But something fell off. I can hear the sound of blizzard outside close like it was indoors. In fact I can feel it.

Eventually I forced my eyes open and noticed I was in the middle of all the Woods. A few seconds was all it took for me to realize what happened.

I screamed as loud as I could! Not knowing where I was or how I got here!

It took me a few minutes but I calm down eventually. I took a deep breath and decided to figure out where I was.

Then it hit me only my face was cold. The rest of my body felt warm and heavier. I didn’t want to look down but I did.

My body was covered in black armour with a red cape. I have a sword shift to my right side.

On the ground to my left I saw a helmet. It looks like it belongs with the suit so I walked over there. Even though it was dark out the moon shone brighter than ever before.

As I examined the helmet It’s seem to be able to fit me perfectly. As I put it on the whole world went dark. Certainly I could see and with my newfound site I heard a Beautiful female voice.

Greetings Mr. William, I am Sage, the one you specifically ordered.

I looked around for the voice but I saw nothing. I gathered up the courage to say something.

“Hello-“ intruder! intruder! take off the Sage suit and you will not be harmed!

I looked around for the voice but then realize that it was in my head. “Intruder!” I shout back. “You’re the one who’s in my head!”

Negative, I am in the helmet which you stole! Return me back to the package opener or face 10,000 Volts of electricity!

Not wanting to feel 10,000 Volts I quickly went to remove my armour but then realized. “Wait package opener. I “am” the one who open the package”

There was a moment of silence.

Your… not lying… Master I...I’m (Sniff)

Just then a few feet in front of me A girl slowly appeared in a flash of white light

I just stood there dumbfounded

“Master I am so sorry for threatening you. I did not realize that you were the package opener.” She said

Master, package opener. None of this makes any sense. I look at the girl in front of me seeing that tears were falling from her eyes. She looked down in shame.

I just stood there not knowing what to do.

“Ummm… I forgive you“ I said awkwardly.

Instantly her head shut up and she shouted. “Truly, you would forgive this worthless slave.”

‘What the fuck’ I shouted in my own mind ‘what the fuck is going on’

I continue to look dumbfounded it’s a good thing I have the helmet on. “Yeah” I replied. “Anyways, what are you.”

she gave me a small smile and told me.
“I am Sage 74, my supposed to be Master William, designed me to his liking everything to my design to my personality. But since the package must’ve been misplaced. You are currently my master and I am your humble slave.”

I just stood there not knowing what to do.
“So Sage” finally say. “Yes!” she says ecstatic. “If I’m your master you have to do whatever I say, correct?”

“Oh yes everything that you wish I should do to the best of my capabilities. though I should warn you my fighting skills aren’t the best” she said with a pout

“That’s umm… nice, anyways I’m ready to give you your first order.” I say

She looked at me with a giddy smile on her face.

“I order you”

she leans in closer

“To get your own personality”

She face planted in the snow.

She shoots up with a look of shock on her face. “Bu-that’s not in my programming! I’m sorry master but I can’t-!”

I threw my hand to her mouth to quiet her. I” don’t care” I say A personality is the most important thing in a human being now I don’t care if your machine you are going to get yourself a personality and be happy.” I ordered.

She looks shocked but nodded her head. I put my hand down and she said “I’ll try“

Which I replied “I don’t give a damn if you try, I want you to succeed”

She had a few tears in her eyes as she hugged me around my waist. Just what the hell did I get myself into.

“Anyways” she continued with a smile “we should probably get going if you have any questions I will happily answer them on the way.”

She disappeared in a flash of light and I could hear her in the helmet again. 2 km east is a village I suggest you hurry you’re getting quite cold

Agreeing I made my way east

by the way what’s your name?

“My name?” I said “oh my name is Oscar, Oscar Long”
