I heard a faint voice say something over the darkness...

Hello, wake up...

I didn't want to, I wanted to sleep a little more. I tried to turn myself in order to sleep on my stomach so I wouldn't hear the voice. But it still came.

Hey, don't ignore me...

I felt a tingling sensation on my stomach, I didn't know what it was but the feeling was strange. At first it was nothing, but then I felt myself about to burst. In only a few seconds my eyes opened, and I began to laugh.

So you finally wake up...

I turned around to see a man and woman hovering over me. The woman was wearing a dark blue dress and her hair was the color of red. Although the red wasn't that bright it caused him to squint his eyes. Her eyes attracted him in a way... I never forgot the words that uttered from my mouth...

"Mommy..." I said. The lady immedeatly smiled a beautiful smile. I opened my arms to give her a hug, but she ignored them and gave me a small peck on the cheek.

Then I looked to the back of the room, where a man kneeled up against the wall. His hair, and outfit were both a darkish purple and the outfit he wore was torn slightly.

"Daddy..."I said. The man smiled, which was strange because the way he stood, the way he dressed didn't give any clues that he had or ever would smile.

"Yep," he said. "I'm your dad."

The woman smiled, and pinched the skin on my face cheek. She turned around to the man and with a confused and startled voice she said, "Oh my lord, we forgot to give him a name!"

"Don't worry honey," he said walking towards me. He held his elbow, and had a sort of limp. "How about Ryan?"

I shook my head no.

"Alex?" the woman suggested.

Once again I nodded no.

Then they both looked at each other as if they were communicating mentally. "How about..." she started.

"Ethan," they both said at the same time.

I rose my eyebrow, and nodded my head yes. I opened my mouth and asked them, "why Ethan?"

The two looked at each other and looked back at me once again.

"Well son," the man said. "Many years ago your mother and I went exploring inside a cave and we ran into a scripture that read about a man and a woman falling in love..."

Well the rest... is yet to be expalined. I was at a delicate age at the time, and I'm surprised I remember that much. But that wasn't MY childhood, so why am I remembering all of this? My father was never depressed looking, my mother never had red hair. We were a family of Knights, not fighting for the King, but those who do not posses the power to protect themselves. But, why is it this way? Why do I have this boy's memories, and to be honest the only way I know it was a boy is because of the name. Sure, my name IS Ethan, but my mother an d father I don't remember looking like that. But the thing is, the last time I saw my parents were... over hundreds of years ago.

My name is Ethan, and my Title "The Great." Although nobody recognizes my face, once my name is heard everyone wants to be around me. Sure I don't mind fans and things like that, but I don't know why I'm so famous. From what I remember I lived an average life before my parents died. I don't even know how that happened...

I must find out the truth about my past, and I must find why everyone knows me so well. Why do I have these memories, and what is my purpose, these are all basic questions. As the reader of my fine tale you must think this is the part of the story where I give you detail on my ventures through my world and how my story connects to everybody else's. But surprisingly, and sorry to tell you this, but I personally have no idea either.

Take my hand, and let us go on an adventure together to the mystical land of Rune - Midgard. Let us explore the goods and bads of people, and the many cities and forests. Let us travel through the deep dark pyramids, to the dark, and very evil depths of Glast Heim. Are you ready, because I am...
