Prologue:
A Conceptual Apathy
( There was a time in this world where evil once reigned on the land of Sojah. During this time there was a group of men, known as the "Zheng jia kou", whose only goal was to stop the desperate attempts of evil on the land. This group was made up of the most honorable men to ever walk on God's holy soil. . . As time went on, after many years and many battles of indescribable suffering of both the living and the dead; this group, which was the only form of truth and honor, began to diminish from existence. Now, so many years have past since this group last appeared. Perhaps it is only because so many people have forgotten the teachings and ways of the Zheng jia kou. The people who dwell in Sojah now are only people who have nowhere else to go, and no one else to turn to. They have lost all caring and thought of their existence. They live in endless apathy, and have long forgotten their one true symbol of truth; the Zheng jia kou. Not only were the Zheng jia kou a form of truth and honor but they also represented hope for the people of the land. . . Still that was a long time ago and now, around 200 years later, the people of Sojah have lost hope once again and evil slowly tightens its foul grip on the vulnerable inhabitants of the land. . . Righteousness no longer overpowers the strength of damnation, and a new wave of cruelty sweeps the land. Villages are frantically destroyed, families wiped out, millions have been casualties of an unjust war. All this for the insane vision of a single man. His name is known among the land, for the mere mention of it makes the toughest of men quake and quiver. His presence leaves the skin with a frightened and sickly feeling. For him torture is no longer a resortment technique; but has become an exhibition, or personal fetish. This man known as "Dolf Le' Dredu", is neither a king nor a dictator. He is not even seen as a leader in any perspective of the people he "rules". In the minds of the people he is not ranked evenly with any mortal evil - only with that of the Devil himself. . . Sojah is in great need of the Zheng jia kou, but alas they exist no more. The grotesque ways of Le' Dredu will continue for years to come. All chaos remains, leaving not a shred of mercy on the land and its people. Perhaps all is lost. . . or is it? Not too far from Sojah there is a man; a traveler who walks the world simply because he feels he has done all he can with his life. This is not just any man he is a former soldier of the "Knights of Nirvath". He was exiled from Nirvath never to return. His life from there has become what it is now; nothing but wandering the world, and using what he needs to get by; day by day. He was banned from Nirvath for reasons that only he could know. No one truly knows of him by name, only by his past actions. He is probably the noblest, and most honorable soldier of his time. Also the only man of his time worthy enough to follow the ways of the great Zheng jia kou clan. . . . . )
