“How does one differ friend from foe? Could everyone trust everyone? Everyday thing challenge our perspective on life how can we be sure of everything. You can live safe by not trusting anyone, become a critics of human morale but that is a life void of love, friend, and the faith you need to believe in. But must we always believe in the power of kindness and try to find the faith in other’s words.”
1 – BEGGINING
A wizard’s apprentice and a long time friend bid a teary goodbye to one another. Two young men who have been like brothers now must continue in their own path. The apprentice stayed under the care and wisdom of the Wizard while his friend the young squire traveled on following a knight’s path.
The apprentice, Ignacious, bid a farewell to his friend Cassius. Each took a different path but somehow, both felt that their paths will once again cross. A parting gift was given to symbolize their friendship, a half of an elven crest that will protect each from harm, but once combined becomes a mighty force for good.
Months passed on, and a distressing and nightmarish dream befalls Ignacious. Hordes of fire-burnt demons swarm upon the knight and Cassius. The knight fought intensely and with courage yet all that strength could not defeat the unending assault of those demon seeds. Then their attention went to the young squire and the young man was covered by the red hide of those demonic infestations. Ignacious awoke and could not return to sleep that very morning the young apprentice told the Wizard of his dream and was told it was on omen from beyond.
Days have come and gone and an eerie silence falls upon the busy market of Eilenor as a young messenger bears a fearful and sad grimace on his face. Everyone knew that his look is to deliver the news of death. On one of his hands, the most treasured belongings of a knight, his sword and crested shield, upon the other he holds a talisman that hung lifeless and gloom. The new finally reached the palace and by request of the king the messenger was to stay longer.
After hearing the news Ignacious asker the messenger how he had come across s half of an elven talisman. The messenger said he saw no sign of the squire but only the lying corpse of a valiant knight proved what he dreaded to think. The apprentice asked the messenger, John, to stay and learn the mystical ways. John accepted and soon the two became friends.
Many years have now passed and with thoughts of avenging his parted friend Ignacious had grown to be the most powerful Wizard in the wide country of Amarak and its kingdoms. Ignacious did not only learn the way of his master but the many different arts of magic. With such innocence upon him other tribes, kingdom, and races welcomed him and his knowledge grew. He mastered the many different are to vanquish the demons who killed his friend.
John also developed great powers but something inside him would not allow him to reach the mastery of Wizard’s magic. After a while jealousy arose from John towards Ignacious soon the jealousy became hatred and the two parted.
Since the Wizard could no longer teach anything to Ignacious, he sent off to follow the path that the young man had chosen. Before Ignacious left the protection of the castle walls he felt that something or someone is watching him. He clenched the now whole elven talisman and proceeded.
At the distance a single character clothed in the shadows looks towards the castle as the massive drawbridge drops and let one person walk out. A grin falls on the shadowy figure. The figure then drew forth a shinning sword from its sheath. Elsewhere a dark voice celebrates in laughter.
The young wizard, Ignacious, used his powers to defend the innocent and vanquish the demonic plague that manifest itself. One day while traveling the forest known as Dark Wood he saw a figure surrounded by the red hide of the demon’s in his nightmares years pass. The whole scene looked as it did in his dream a fallen knight, and the man surrounded by the dark creatures.
A brilliant light emulated from the young wizard as the creatures turn their attention upon him. The man drew forth a shinning blade and cut through the darkness given off by the demons. The Wizards and this figure looked face to face. The sworded figure saw the whole elven medallion and grew in anger he lifted his mighty sword and swung at the Wizard. A battle was now beginning but were the persons ready for such a task?
