Raven was skipping along the road, proud of himself. A black ixi
skipping. Odd when you think about it. Black ixis were known to be
dark creatures that never would partake in love affairs. As Raven
turned the corner, he saw an old looking techo. With gray withered
hair and blotched wrinkled skin, this techo looked old and wise. He
was wearing a pointed hat and a long black robe. Raven walked right
by him. "Halt." What? Raven continued walking. After a few steps he
found that he could not walk anymore! The techo held out his hand
and then closed it and slowly brought it toward himself. Raven
unwillingly was dragged along. The techo was holding a book of many
pages. He opened it and muttered something Raven could not understand.
It did not sound good, so he reared on his hooves and galloped toward
the old man, head forward, ready for action. The techo closed the book
and Raven was stopped in his tracks. Then everything went black...

When he opened his eyes, Raven found himself in a dark room full of
jars containing things he did not want to know what was inside.
He felt dizzy. He could not focus. But an instinct inside told him
to fight, not to give up, it was urging him to continue. Even though
he did not have a weapon, Raven got to his feet, then quickly collapsed
upon his feet. He could not stand. Why was he so whoozy? All of his
memories flashed before him. Someting was there. Searching through
them. GET OUT OF MY MIND!!!! Raven spruing to his feet, using all of
the strength he could. There was no one there. But there was. He
knew it. He grabbed a cool fire poker and slashed in one spot. Even
though nothing was seen, he knew he hit something. The old techo
appeared before him. "You are the one, young ixi," he said. "You are
the one destined for greatness. The one legends have spoken of. The
one that's here to save us all from the great evil I sense coming
near," he said. Raven was confused. But, inside he wasn't. Destiny had
overtaken him, he knew what needed to be done, just not the details.
"How did you know I was the one you needed?" Raven asked the old man.
"Well, I knew the legend was of an ixi, and I could sense a greater
purpose in your life, one that would be hard to complete. So I
tested you, with a curse. One that no ordinary ixi could pass, unless
they were trained in the ways of war. And of self disipline. Of mind
spells. And it was obvious that you weren't. Years of my training can
tell of what you truely are. A warrior. Destined for greatness." The
old techo continued in his description of Raven's task. Raven was the
reencarnation of an ancient priest, Ranbanin. In the time of Ranbanin,
a great evil came and threatened the world. But he suceeded in fighting
off the ancient evil, but couldn't totally defeat it. He sent it away
off to the inards of the underworld, where he believed, the great
evil could not escape to kill again. But it did. Not too long ago.
And Raven was the only one that could stop it. He has inner strengths
and skills that only Ranbanin had before, and was a warrior even
though he didn't know it. Raven had to learn the ancient ways of
war and sorrceracy, then go on a quest to save the world. If he did
not suceed, the planet could be in jepardy...
