Suddenly I found myself wandering trough woods, no Idea how I got here I wandered around, following no direction. I wandered and wondered, why I am here? what is this place? Vaguely I began to remember, I've seen this tree before, only from a different angle? HOW? I've seen this tree before only from ... above?

*splotsh* *splotsh* I looked down, I saw a puddle of shallow water, I was thursty, I bent down Hmm Ilook rather shabby... musn't have much sleep recently. Putting my hands together to from a bowl I managed to lift some of the water and drink it, It tasted ... It didn't taste ...? I looked down again, WOW WHO IS THAT? I tuched my face and saw the face mimic my moves, It couldn't be real, what trick is this? Has anyone drugged me? Why did my "reflection" reflect everything just a second later? WHATS UP WITH THAT?

*Shhhstock* WHOA!!! An Axe just hit the tree infron of me WHAT THE F... I saw A shadow right in front of me, The tree was now an biggish green creature Lifting the axe waiting to strike down on me *shhhhwack* I managed to roll away just in time I got up looking for a place to hide when I looked up I sah a furious battle beiing fought, Unkown creatures and men fighting eachother, some seemed familiar but I knew I never seem them before, thou they seemed familiar.

*groaaaaaaar!!!* I sah the creature again his axe came down, but this time I couldn't dodge it, it came in real fast and I knew this would hurt NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was dead, or shhh this was just a dream ... what a nightmare I looked around, I was soaked, me bedsheet on the ground, my pillow soaked... phew luckily it was merely a nightmare.

Well I'll better freshen myself up, I went to the badroom pheh what does this mean? I swithed on the light, shhh aah, my eyes the light, so bright... Hmmf. Well I let the water run made a bowl with my hands to scoop soem water and threw it in my face.. know My eyes have getten used to the light I looked up and WHAT THE F.. there was that face again, am I'm still dreaming. AUWCH! ... I guess not, I looked at my hands WHAT??? Tattoos??? BeeGee! heh? whom? Nero! ??? Luc, willow, kiya, Jvb, woods, device, vortex ....

it came all back to me... The blackout was explained now... that's what I did those weeks ago... where did I go? where are they? I was mighty worried... I sat back on my bed, I can't sleep now. I'll watch some TV, *zzzong ...* hmmm news reruns again * still no information about of the misterious dissapearence of the group of poeple at the convention center* Arent they back? Am I the only one? * So far only 1 has been found, having now memory at all of what happened, the person is now retired from the hospital at Gent* ...

I have to get back! No-one would believe me.

That morning I took the train to Gent again, I sneaked into the convention center, I found the spot where I was found back then, I started searching, Under the tables, behind plantpots, no clue at all... I sat down, hopeless staring at that wierd looking plant .. hmmm never sah such plant before what wierd flower it has, it looks like a ... THERE IT IS I yelled, I'm sure they heard me I must hurry, I ran to the plant and took the device, OW that's heavier than I tought, How could it just be laying on the leave, It should have dropped?..

Nevermind, how does this trigger again? maybe its this? .... .... No ... or this ... VORTEX opened, swirling sound was to load to hear the security opening the door and yelling at me, no time to waste, I jumped ...

I looked at jolie and smiled.
"Goodmorning, I guess.
What day is it? I feel like I slept for aeons."

"Its a long story" He replied," and I don't think you'd want to know.
Most important is that you are ok, for a moment there I thought you would never survive your fight with that dragon.."

I was shocked by hearing this.
"Have I been fighting with a dragon? I cant remember anything about that.. What sort of dragon was it?"

"Well JvB, I'm not an expert at this, but he looked much like you, in dragon form that is, so i think it must have been a fire dragon as well."

I really can't remember... Why did it attack me? Was it really that powerfull to nearly kill me?

"Jolie.. Did I put up much of a fight? Or was he just too powerfull?"

Jolie looked down, not wanting to look in my eyes..
"I-I am affraid you didn't stand a chance against him JvB."

It had seemed like forever for Jurak to get to the camp and retrieve the sled,
ropes, and rollers. He had been daydreaming of days gone by,
since he had joined up with this group....
but that was whole 'nother story...

WoW! jurak thought to himself, it's like waking up all over again."

Arriving back at the tree site, it looked as if everything was frozen in time,
and just starting to come alive again. The snow was deeper now....
everyone was covered in icicles, and snowflakes...it looked like it had been snowing for days.
Jurak wheeled the sled around to the fallen log, and was positioning it
appropriately aligned, to the angle of the log.
Womble and Yeager wandered over to fetch the ropes from the back of the sled,
while virgo took the rollers and lined them up against the side of the log.
[color:"orange"]"Right then i've fashioned two nice hefty chokers for this
beasty of a tree, but how do we get under it?" [/color]
Womble held up the chokers proudly, and cocked his head sideways!
[color:"orange"]
"DiG! my friends we must...here use these...! [/color]
Yeager reached in his pockets(that were very deep by the way)
and pulled out two hand spades for garden work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
[color:"orange"]"Ohhhh Virgo.....!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> take this shovel,
and start digging a big enough hole to slip the rope through and get a hold." [/color]
Virgo took the tiny hand shovel and headed for the top of the log.
Womble and Yeager were at the the root of the problem <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> near the butt!
but it was really no problem....because the flair on the butt end of this tree,
made it very easy to slip a choker underneath, and through to the other side.

They were done in a quick moment, and took the remaining length of rope and
slung it around the base of the tree that was just beside it, leading the
rest....to the back of the sled.

Jurak grabbed the other hand shovel,
(cuz sometimes....he was really good at shovelling stuff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> )
and he headed to the treetop to help virg..
Now everyone was at the top of the tree kicking dirt,
and uprooting weeds to get a hole made for the rope,
the snow made it a slippery working surface after a few minutes......
and it made for a few good laffs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Jurak tought everyone just seemed happy cuz they had something to do.....
there's nothing worse than having nothing to do in the deep dark forest! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
While the rest were fussing at the top of the tree....Jurak "whipped up"
a quick fire, for some warmth.....this place was freezin',
and he wondered why nobody else made a fire while he was gone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
[color:"orange"]OK!! That's got it! [/color]
Womble screeched!! Jurak guffawed, Viper laughed,...Yeager farted, and Virgo puked! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
The rope was too short to go around the 2 trees necessary, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
and had to be spliced with a small section of leftover frayed rope.
Now to just jockey the sled into position....
hook up the chokers...
and give a little tug....

[color:"#00cccc"] I watched them all shovelling and working and smiled that he was excused from labour because of my pains.
I felt a lot better these days due to the nice food I had been eating and all the new drinks I've been drinking, who would know that herbs in hot water tasted so good and that there were so many combinations possible. Due to all these changes, the pains were a lot less now and I even could fly without feeling a lot of pain, I almost reached my topspeed again this morning.

In a few days I'd be able to help them all out again with the chores and such. I helped jurak make a fire with some wood to keep us warm and also put on some water for that nice herbal drink.

I saw them all finishing up their work and...

Me, Aurora and JVB we're talking about the latest events. I noticed JVB was a bit sad. He couldnt remeber a single thing about it.

"I'm sorry Jolie, i just cant remeber a thing. I let you down.."
"Not at all JVB, that dragon was just too strong for you. You're lucky to be alive"

At that time Willow entered the room.
"Hé whats keeping you guys so long... JVB, you're awake. Welcome back to the living <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />"

While JVB and Willow talked abit, my thoughts wandered off.
I wonder how the others are doing. Nero, Luc, Viper,... We're the **** are you guys.

I closed my eyes.

When i opend them back, i was in a forest of some kind. I was all alone. I looked around and walked towards what i thought was south. Suddenly i saw some strange light. I heared screaming. I knew that voice.... I ran towards the light. At the time i arrived someone flew though some kind of black, purple hole right through the air and fell on the ground. I causiously got closer. That face.... i knew that face. It was Dragh... I yelled after him. He did react. Didnt he hear me?? I yelled again..

"Dragh, Dragh..."
"He Jolie wake up."
"What???" That was Willow. I must have fallen asleep or something.
"We will find him. We'll go look for him immediatly."

I could see JVB was puzzeled...

Things almost happened to fast to describe..
It looked like joliekiller fainted, but soon I heard him say something: "Dragh, Dragh..."

After he was woken up by willow, I stood puzzled for just a short time.

"What just happened jolie? is there something wrong with dragh?"
I did vaguely remember the name dragh, as did I remember other names... Beegee, Kiya, and many others.
And pictures of a enourmous silver dragon.
But it were just pictures and names, nothing more, nothing less..

I do hope my memory will come back soon..

Well, I wasn't going to get my memory back by doing nothing...
"Jvb..?" It was Aurora, my little saviour. "Maybe I can help you?"
Such sweet words, well trying never hurt anyone did it, so I agreed.
She touched my head with the tips of her fingers, but she pulled her hand back inmediatly: "ouch! thats hot!!!"

I didn't understand what she ment, and felt my head with my own hands, but felt nothing strange.
Her Eyes were widening, and she started crying.. And when I tried to comfort her, her eyes widened and she yelled that I had to go away.

Sadness, that's a feeling you can't forget, even though you have lost your memory... some things will always stick..

I heard joliekiller running back inside, coming towards the room we were in.
Somehow, I was scared... I felt an immense fear even though I know I shouldn't and joliekiller would never harm me.

But I couldn't stop myself, I opened the window and jumped out.. I ran towards the forest and kept running and running, untill my feet couldn't carry me anymore, and I fell on the ground.. crying.

I had no one left, and even if I had, I couldn't remember them anymore.
Why am I here? Did I have a mission here? how come..?

My thoughts were interferred.. I felt someone coming, someone I knew, but didn't want to know.

He was wearing a cloak, but that didn't make any difference, I wouldn't remember him anyhow.

"JvB" He said "It all ends here.." He started walking towards me slowly.
"What ends here?" I said, affraid.

"Your life offcourse, I won't give you a second chance.. You got away from me one time before, but this time your friends won't be here to help you.. You see, you are special.. And I need you.. dead."

I stood up, prepared for a fight, even though I didn't have any weapons with me.
I swung a punch at his face, but he dodged it as if it was nothing.
"Stupid boy, I teached you how to fight; have you forgotten everything??"
Teach me how to fight? who is this guy?
He punched 3 times, but I managed to block them with my own hands, and with a last move, I grabbed his arm with my right hand, turned around, so my back was in front of him, and placed my ellbow in his face. After that I tried to throw him away, but he was 1 step ahead of me, and he had hit me against the back of my head..
I fell to the ground.

"Now you die!" He yelled, but was to late to give a finishing blow. I rolled over my back and jumped back up, whiping the sand of my clothes.

Fighting felt strange, it gave me a good feeling.. Have I been a fighter before I lost my memory??
I felt myself become more self confident, I began to smile.

"Sorry old man, it just ain't my time yet."
After followed an intense fight, which could have lasted for more than an hour, then came a blinding light and the man was gone...

His words floated around in my head; the last thing he told me was : till the next time we meet.

I heard Aurora scream and i ran upstairs. When i entered the room, JVB was scared for some reason. He jumped out of the window and ran of like the wind.

what the......
Aurora was still crying. I took her hands and saw small burning wounds.
"Dont worry my baby, all will be fine."
I took her in my arms and she cried on my shoulder.
I closed my eyes.

Again the images of Dragh sprong in my head.

"Dragh" i yelled again.
Aurora abrubtly stopped crying. She looked at me and smiled.
"Dont worry father, all will be fine."
I smiled back at her. "Your right Aurora, all will be fine."

We went downstairs were Willow was waiting for us. I wanted to tell her all that happend, but realised she already knew <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />.
We discussed what we would do, go after JVB or get Dragh.

I was passionate about getting Dragh. He seemed in alot of trouble. I figured JVB could take care of himself.

Jurak's leathry skin seemed to creak under the strain of pulling
such a massive log. Womble was atop "Meat" pulling for all their worth,
while Viper and Virgo were on the other end pushing sooo hard the veins in
their foreheads were popping out. Yeager comandeered the sled through the
tight knit trees, and maneuvered the sled into such a position to use a
nearby tree as a fulcrum point. Pulling ever so gently, the huge piece of
timber was eventually released from it's sticky, muddy grave rolling on to
the fresh snow and layed there ready to be hauled away! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Womble scrambled onto the big timber and was pretending to be riding a wild
donkey, He gripped the rough bark and planted his heels in the sides, and let
out a triumphant bellow, for he knew that soon enough they would all be
constructing his new machine.
It did not take long to arrive back at the campsite,thanks to all the fresh
fallen snow that had accumulated on the forest floor.
Yeager, Womble and Jurak rolled the log in the spot that had been prepared
earlier by Yeager,
while Virgo and Viper headed to the never-ending fire to throw a few more logs
on, and make some Hot Toddys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> for it was very chilly and a celebration was
in order!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
Yeager had fashioned a sort of "band saw" with rounds of wood, a few pulleys,
and small stubby logs as rollers. Using a belt attached to the rear wheel of
the sled...he had more than enough power to begin.
After a few short hours and a few long drinks, Yeager was instructing Womble on
the curvature of the propeller, and how it should be carved. He scratched a few
lines in the wood where Womble should start, and Wee Womble was right on it,
the wood chips were flying this way and that, and the prop was taking shape!.

Jurak was starving after that tug of war with the tree, so he wandered over to
the firepit and fried up some Portabella mushrooms, and stuffed them with a
rice, green pepper, and lemon-garlic sauce, it was a fine scoff!!
One could tell the group was certainly glad this stupid tree issue would soon
be over so they could finally move on. It had almost seemed like months since
they'd heard from Jolie, Willow and Aurora, and what about Dragh,Luc, JVB, and
the lovely faile as well were they allright, he wondered!?
They all drank and worked very heartily that evening, well into the wee hours
of the morning. Yeager was busy putting last minute touches on the seat basket
and other details. One by one the steps were completed, and all that was left
was to finish sanding the prop, and dip it into a nice coating of pine resin
for protection and preservation of the wood!
They could just about see the "Crack of Dawn" when they were just finishing up,
Yeager was testing the controls for accuracy, whilst Womble bounced around like
a magical mexican jumping bean with anticipation of testing his new toy!. Viper
being an experienced vetran of flying, suggested that they wait at least until
the sun comes up over the horizon, in order to see better.
Virgo, Viper, Womble, Jurak, Yeager, Meat and FE all wandered over to the fire
to listen to Yeager discuss the fine art of flying to womble's eager pointy
ears! Although they were all very tired, it made for a very interesting
listening for sure!! A few hours had passed unnoticed and it was now light
enough to make the "maiden flight".
It was an exciting moment, and everyone was happy and jovial. Even the rat "Fe"
had found it's way into the cockpit and had curled up comfortably under the
seat.
They gathered around while Womble was getting his last minute instructions
from Yeager, while he strapped himself in. Womble was gleaming like a kid in
a candystore, shaking his head up and down as Yeager spoke to him. Meatloaf
the pig came squealing towards the group, not wanting to be left out of the
action, and was sporting the crown Womble had claimed from their last battle,
on his snout. Next he flipped the crown from his nose and it landed right in
Womble's hands, and Meat jumped aboard too, snuffling next to Fe, the two were
a team that could not be separated now!
Womble looked at the crown for an instant, then plopped it on top of his head
without thinking.....
Viper yelled, Noooo... but it was too late now....
Womble's eyes flashed a deep crimson glow and his skin shrivelled to a black
crust, he started ranting and raving something about "getting to the castle,
to "check in" and stared at the rest blankly...
Yeager ws so shocked the he ran behind Jurak's leg for cover, Virgo and Viper
stood speechless looking at each other.....
And with that Womble lifted off straight up, screaming now about being too
late....
and he flew off in a south-west direction down the mountian range corridor...

Jurak knew right then and there,
that they had to find the rest of their counterparts,
and the time was now! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
It was time to regroup and re-plan
their strategies...

I pushed and pushed as hard as I could against the tree and with all of the groups forces united, I felt that it was going bit by bit. After a while it went better and we soon arrived at our camp where we cooked a delicious meal and ate very good, enjoying it afterwards with some nice 'leaves' and a bit of that weird drink that yeager had on him.
After that we started working (and drinking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />) until late in the night.
"We'd better wait till the light of day before we test hing out", I said to the other, they all nodded and agreed. We all went back to the fire where Yeager kept on telling and even though sleep was overwhelming us, none of us could go to sleep, his telling were too interesting.

When the daylight was coming over the world, I saw Womble getting in and taking the crown from his pig. I saw Womble watching at the crown and before I realised what happened I saw it going towards his head. Womble was a quick f**ker and I couldn't react in time. I ran towards him, yelling "NOOOOOOoooooo...." but I failed... I came too late. The crown was on his head and we lost Womble that split second.

I tried to fly after him, but he was just too fast, I couldn't catch up with him, I even tried to shoot his crown off with my bow but no succes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

He was gone, everyone was bedazzled and we all knew in our heart that we had to regroup with the others.

Well I had been in town for a week and this Pirate that was supposed to find us passage across the great eastern sea had not met as she was supposed to. 100 gold pieces down the drain..."one more person on my list to hunt" I muttered to myself. I got up from the bar and stumbled a little bit...apparently I had drank more than I thought.

Drinking was becoming an issue for me, my friends we all gone...Kiya, Dqueen, Lucidity. Where was I going...what was I going to do? I walked out of the bar but not before filling my flask with the strongest and coincidentally most foul booze I could find. I stepped into the street and wandered out of town. I pulled my sword from its sheathe and started hacking at nothing. For no reason I trudged north along the sandy and rock scattered beach.

Darkness came and enveloped me I slunk to the ground and fell asleep under the strangely dark and heavy sky. Dreams came and went and the night passed without excitement. When I awoke the sky was dark and gray and rain was on the horizon. On the horizon I saw a great ship that upon looking at it I felt a familiar feeling. That feeling and life and control were being sucked from my body like a vampire sucks blood. I felt weak and dizzy and angry...This time I fought against it....one of them must be out there I thought to myself...I almost began swimming I wanted to reach that baot and destroy everyone on it...but then I remembered I remembered the look on my friends face as I fought against her...as I tried to kill her. The pain and disbelief and the sadness in her eyes. That happened because I let my anger get the best of me...it would not happen again.

I needed to find the remainder of my companions. WHere were they now, where should I begin to look?

It didnt took us long to figure we would go for Dragh.

So we started our journey to him. Aurora held my hand so she knew where to go.
Willow walked on my other side. I could see her toughts were far of.

"Whats up Willow?"
She snapped out of her "trance". "What?".

Your very absent, whats going on? She nodded unknowing. But i knew what was going on, she had been in town to long, to far away from nature.


Were going after Dragh, i know hes in a forest somewhere.
I could see her face clearing up.
We moved on along the path into the forest...

there I stood, in the middle of the wilderness.. alone.
I had abbandonned my friends yet again and didn't have a clue which was the right way back.

I felt something, it came near..
Actually it were 2 things, both very powerfull, and they came exactly in my direction! I had to hide somewhere so I dove into some tall grass, hoping it would provide me enough coverage to make me invisible for the invasion from above; cause I knew both were in the air.

I could see them now: It was an enourmous red dragon, and there was a woman on its back, who obviously was his boss.
She had long blond hair, and couldn't have been to old, and somehow I felt very attracted to her..
I guessed her age at about 17.. But how could she be powerfull enough to tame dragons?
There was something very mysterious about her, and that was, besides her stunning looks, probably the reason I felt so attracted to her.

When she had flown past me, I decided to follow her over ground, would increase my condition at the same time, so why shouldn't I?
Once again, I had lost the ones I truely loved and needed, the ones without whom I am nothing.
The ones who give me the strenght to continue even in the thougest situations..
But still.. In my entire life, never I saw such a beauty..

If my friends are real, they will wait for me and understand if I come back later..

I was getting tired, and was losing her.. the only way to get up with her was to become a dragon again.. But I didn't know what would happen if I do that..
I just couldn't allow myself to kill all in vicinity, maybe even her..

"no... come back.. please." I whispered, while running on my last breath.
But she seemed to had heard me somehow, because she turned the dragon around, and landed somewhere near me..

I sauntered down the path, with a company of orcs behind me.
I always have, and always will, hate going into the town.
At that thought I wrapped my dark black cloak around me further.
Things were not going good at all. The Damn dwarves have been evading my troops, and we can't seem to find any of this party of adventurer's.
Luckily I had word from one of my numerous informants throughout the land, that there had been several in the town lately.

We reached the gate, and the doors opened as the scared gatekeeper saw the company of armed, angry, and rather stupid looking orcs behind me.
I quickly ran through, and several orcs followed, I left the rest outside.
I went to the inn/bar quickly and saw at once in the corner of the room by old buddy Vic Juledge. He nodded as he saw me, as the other patrons gaped at 10 orcs barging in on their nighttime tea. I walked over to Vic and tossed him a bag of gold.
"What can you tell me about some adventurer's who've been passing this way lately?"
He looked at the gold and put out one hand quickly to get it. Not quickly enough before the Orc Commander's knife pinned his hand to the table.
"I'll let you go if you tell me all. That and another bag of that gold.
Vic looked nervous but then shrugged, despite the pain he must be feeling in his hand.
"There's been rumors from my buddies about a ship. Its been going about the harbor's lately. Picking up random people. I heard that one of those foreigner adventurerer's (I didn’t take the time to criticize his grammar, though I would have liked to) went for a walk today, he was all drunkish and all. Go down and you might be able to snatch him before that boat does." I looked thoughtful for a second, then nodded at the Commander. The Commander took his blade out and Vic obviously sighed in relief. Too soon. The captain brought his giant sword sweeping across and cut the head of Vic. I picked up the gold, and walked out the door.
"Sorry Vic, no loose ends" I said and walked out of the town.
I got out and me and my entourage quickly went down to the harbor. Sure enough, there was a boat.
Suddenly the sky went dark, and fog floated all around.
"No matter" I said to the Commander, "search the area for some kind of a foreigner, and hurry up". The commander nodded and went to his captains, and they went out with hunting parties.
"Wait". The ship had begun to move. "Follow that ship, it will lead you to him." The Commander nodded and we began to follow the ship as it reined down on its query...

[color:"33cc33"]"WoW, is all i can say"[/color], said Jurak as he looked around
to the others, perched precariously on the log,
straining their necks and eyes, for a final glimpse of Womble...
as he disappeared in the distance.
Poor old Yeager looked as if he was about to cry, and just kept staring forlornly yonder,
shaking his fist shouting, [color:"orange"] "nevr trust a dwarf!"
I should know by now shouldn't I?, after all i'm part dwarf" a small part![/color]
and he went on and on...
Virgo grimaced at Yeager, who's incessant whining was starting to be
a bit much like sand on glass...
[color:"orange"]"Here!" [/color]he said,[color:"orange"] "take a swig of this and lets break camp before anything else goes wrong!"[/color]
Yeager took the bottle willingly and slurped a big one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Jurak walked over to Viper and suggested they head for Beregrost first
and dump off Yeager at the first available opportunity,
pick up some quick supplies and head for the coast,
or should they head directly to the ship,
that is... if there is one ?

Panic! It’s gnawing at everything, everyone, everywhere. Some say doomsday is coming to call, that it’s been foretold in the stars. There’s no shortage on men and women buying in to that, cowering under the nights sky, searching for the answers in those abhorrent stars.
More troubling still are the ones looking to the heavens for twisted guidance. An evil cult has formed, lead by the one known as The Gatherer, with a taste for fear and uncertainty and a lust for the rebirth of the anarchy. His terrible desire has set his followers, known as the kindred, sowing his seeds across the land.
Unfortunately its fertile soil for the doomsday cult’s dread. King Frederick has gone missing, Prince Jackeaus is too young to manage the throne and Queen Yavuller is visiting her father in Wither dale. A council of nobles reign supreme in the absence of the King, quarrelling between each other for there own selfish personal gain, The Gatherers army’s grow stronger and anxious while the noble men plot to over through the King and replace his reign with a dark theocracy. Worse still rumours that one of the nobles is himself a ‘kin’ of the Gatherer.
Now is the time for the hero’s of the land to rise and fight in allegiance against the Gatherer to destroy him and restore the land back to its once peaceful existence. Although I fear there is no hope within the current listed ‘hero’s’ (ha! Such an honor used to be a challenge to receive) as many are not what I would call a-grade hero’s and non of them could withstand the Gatherer’s magic. But there still might be hope. There is one, one man who could restore the mandate. He live to the west in Whyvale he alone has the willpower to not crumble under the force of the Gatherer’s magic. He is known as………..Ax Battler!
