It is AD 2064...planet earth was on the brink of destruction crashes between the world republic federation and various nations that opposed it sparked the outbreak of world war III. weapons of mass destruction razed the land in the blink of an eye, people believed it was the end of the world.

With the establishment of the USTA: Universal Science and Technology Administration , man begun to seek new worlds beyond the stars.

It is now AD 2087, the first year of the new space date calendar, thanks to the success of the people's experiments a warp drive is created, mankind's dream inched closer to reality. The USTA then begins to implement its SRF project... The Space Reconnaissance Force. Edge Maverick and his childhood friend Reimi Saionji both volunteer for this project,

SD 10 the first official SRF mission. SRF has launched 3 groups one lead by Commander Shepard, one by Crowe F. Almedio, and the last one by Edge Maverick. The first mission is to explore a nameless planet in the Antaeus System this is where the tale starts

In the sword coast deep in Faerûn , the ounce mighty city of Neverwinter is a hive of panic and terror. thousands have died from the mysterious wailing death, and thousands more are infected. with the risk of a plague spreading the lords declare a quarantine shutting the gates to all travel trapping sick and healthy alike within the city walls
the lords issued a call to all adventures to find a cure promising wealth and honor. the plague spreads with every passing day sweeping through the slums like flash fire with no cure in sight years later a cure had been found requiring the use of four creatures a dryad, intellect devourer, yuan-ti, and a cockatrice, known collectively as the Waterdhavian creatures.

Sora Windrunner a half-elven female at the academy now under guidance of her new master learns the way of the paladin but on certain nights she still has visions of her past vengeance is still in her heart for the slaughter of her clan. Sora often brings up these visions to her master who then tells her " you must learn to let go " reciting their code in a rather different way

There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no death, there is the Force.
" even if you die you be one with nature , remember it well "

Sora then bows down before her master and walks out of the room as her master stops her " tomorrow is the knighting ceremony , you have come a long way " outside she is met by her two friends Riku and Kairi they respond with a smile " so today is our last day here at the academy, i know times are tough due to the plague that threatens this city but we are supposed to be the hope of the city come on i know you can be better than that " Riku said in a mocking manner as Sora shrugs it off remembering her master's words trying not to let her friends get to her.

The next day came all to soon after many months of training Sora receives her title of Paladin of neverwinter whereas her friends Riku, Kairi along with three others Ventus, Aqua and Terra all graduate from the academy. During the ceremony the academy was attacked by a unknown force. the other graduates and Sora bonded together and fended off the attack. Aribeth then rushes into the room, relief was in her eyes when she sees that the six students had survived the attack. Aribeth directs the survivors onto a new task to check on the four creatures as well as defeating any remaining forces from the attack.
Sora choose to do this alone while the others can aid in securing the rest of the academy. Sora rushes down the halls striking down on the remaining forces of the attackers arriving at the stables where the creatures are then drives out the remaining forces and helps Pavel get back on his feet after the battle.

Pavel responds in a rather depressing tone "You got what it takes to be a hero, Sora, maybe even a legend, but not me. This life isn't for me, I know that now. I'm going back home." Sora then tells him what her master ounce taught her responding in her own words " we are the light of the city in this dark times we must stick together "
Pavel nodded slowly. "Your words are truer than you know. Real heroes have the will to face adversity in many shapes and forms. I know you're destined for great things someday,but I don't want to risk my neck for fame and fortune."

They walked out of the stables, their ears welcomed by the screams of severely injured guards in the aftermath of the attack nearby. Pavel took a deep breath and sighed, dropping his flail and shield. "I'm no hero. I just want a nice, quiet life. I doubt our paths will cross again anytime soon. goodbye and good luck Sora. "

Sora responds silently "See you again someday" hoping Pavel will one day see his true potential
