Aethara: The King's Path - Chapter 1 Released

[MFontana]

I've just released the first chapter of Aethara earlier today, and would really appreciate some feedback on the prelude and opening chapter.
Likes?
Dislikes?
And most importantly, Why? (Why do you like it? / Why do you dislike it?)
Full critiques, reviews, and ratings are always welcome.
Your thoughts, and input, can help to shape the story as well.

I just noticed that Aethara: The King's Path received its first rating today.
To whoever rated it, I thank you.
I'd do so by name, if I knew who you were, but alas I do not, so this is the best that I can offer in thanks.

As a showing of my thanks, I am planning for another special release by the end of the year to coincide with the release of Chapter 2.
