In a time of imminent darkness,
where the fate of the world is uncertain,
a hero shall rise.
He will appear on an uncertain day,
in an uncertain place.
He'll make his mark in this world,
one that will last.
Rise Dovan. Rise and push back the darkness.
200 years before the events of Purity...
"Wake up. Wake up!" Shouted a voice from the darkness. I opened one eye, and saw a field of green grass, riddled with trees. I opened the other eye ans started to stand up, only to slip and nearly fall. Where was I? Who was I?
"Come on, stand up. Easy now," The voice chided. I stood up at my full height, and looked around. I was in some some type of forest, and standing next to me was a young looking man with messy hair, a grey jacket and jeans. A pair of eyeglasses sat on his nose, looking like they were about to slide off, magnifying his deep grey eyes.
I thought of a lot of things to say. Ideas swam around in my head, without any deffinite place. "Who the hell are you!?" I settled for.
"My name is... Guide. The Guide," The man said, "What's yours?"
"Dovan!" I said shouted very abrubtly and without thinking. It just sort of forced its way out of my mouth. The Guide stared at me for a moment. "So... I suppose we should get going," I said, turning away.
"Where?" Guide asked. I stared at him blankly, searching for an answer.
"Ugh... never mind. So, can you explain what's going on here?" I asked, putting my hands over my eyes, which felt like they were about to pop out of my aching head.
"Well, you said your name was Dovan, right?" The Guide asked. I nodded, which did not help my headache. "Well, I think I've heard the name before... somewhere. Aha! It was in the Elven city! I don't quite remember the context but... Ah, nevermind. We should get to building a house... night time can be nasty here," The guide said.
"What? What do you mean nasty?" I asked with a hint of fear.
"Oh, you'll find out soon enough. In the mean time, get to chopping down some trees. Pronto!" The guide said ominously.
I sat down and rubbed my head. I could find out about myself and elves and everything later, I decided. Right now I needed to focus on the task at hand.
But for some reason, that was a lot easier said than done.
