Back in the time that was nearly forgotten, lived a great hero who risked his life and soul for the protection of this realm. In this time the evils were powerful and malevolent. This tale takes place in that time. Much was in chaos and the heroes of this realm had been whittled down in power and hope, but in this grave time, one man stood out. He took his time to shine and risked everything to save friends and the common people alike. An evil incarnation of magic formed on this plane began a massacre of many. The adventures combined forces to stop its terror, but in the end it took only the bravery and selflessness of one man. Calling upon the magic�s within himself and the items of power he posed, he released an onslaught of wrath upon the horrid creature seemingly to no avail. The strength of the sword was futile against this creature of destruction and magic seemed to give it more strength. Out hero had a plan though. To give a creature what it wants, it will gain in power but to give it more than it asks for will overload. With that in mind, he drained all his magic into the foul beast and when his mystical energies were completely drained, he began feeding the beast his items of power. Having the foul creature at its bursting point and completely drained out of magic and all but one item. That mystical item that contained his very soul. In a last ditch effort and act of complete selflessness, he hurled his soul to the power-hungry abomination and there for sacrificing himself to save the realm. As the item left his hand, he dropped to the ground in a lifeless pile and began his journey to the afterlife. Like a dart to a board, the item hit its mark and the creature absorbed its power into itself, but the energy from this courageous soul was just too much for this abysmal disgrace of a beast. With a brilliant flash of blue light, it exploded leaving behind only a shimmering tabard. As for our hero, no one knows if he was shown kindness by fate, or if he took the long walk into the afterlife. |
