Beltane the Smith

Beltane the Smith grew up in the woods, far from people and cities, with the man known as Ambrose the Hermit taking care of him and teaching him ancient wisdom and dead languages. One day, a mysterious man called Benedict visited Ambrose and Beltane, and the old Hermit made a deal with him to teach Beltane to fight with sword play and to ride a horse. After Beltane mastered these skills he started dreaming about the world he didn't know, thirsty for some new experiences. One day Beltane met Lady Helen of Mortain as she rode through the wood and that is when he started learning about women. Driven by the new sensation he felt, Beltane set off to the world where new romances awaited, but not without some turbulences.
