Chapter 1
20 years had passed since Cody rode for the tower with Trent, only to be betrayed by the bard after seeing what the tower held, Gwen. Trent stabbed Cody in the back and claimed he had killed a thief and liar, before taking Gwen from the tower for his own. They had ridden through the twisted woods and he took Gwen back to her parents, the king and queen.
They welcomed Trent with open arms and gave him Gwen as his bride. When her parents passed Trent assumed the throne with Gwen. the former bard ruled the land with a just hand, he was merciful to his people and enemies alike. But when the sun set he was haunted by the spirit of Cody. He would be chased through the woods with the dead boy pursuing on horseback. He would awaken in a cold sweat, screaming.

The forest had overgrown the tower. As the vines climbed the walls over the years they finally made their way to the room where the body of the brave Cody rotted. They encompassed his body and began to glow. Soon the boy stood, regenerated, the lower part of his face had rotted away to bone. He looked around and at his hands.
"How?" he asked himself, not believing it completely, "How can this be?"
"Because I will it" a voice said, Cody turned to see a blond girl dressed only in leaves, "My name is Bridgette, I am a witch. I saw what was done to you and have decided to help you".
"How?" he asked, she pointed a finger at him and a bright light engulfed him, when it parted he was wearing a suit of armor, a sword was sitting at his feet. He picked it up and examined it, "I have no army" she pointed again and a deep rumbling shook the ground, they moved to the balcony and watched as the dead bodies of fallen knights and horses rose out of the ground and stood before the tower.
"Say something to your army Cody" Bridgette said, Cody looked at the gathered skeletons.
"Who rules!" he shouted.
"You my lord!" they answered raising their weapons, cheering. Cody turned to Bridgette, "It's time to ride".
