Chapter 1:
The Riddle
"'The way into the light is through the Path of Darkness.' I kept saying in my mind trying to figure this riddle out. Finally! I knew what it meant, it's not a riddle it's a statement! This phrase that had riddled my mind is nothing but a statement! For years endless I have been seeking the village of Smollet in search of the Light of the Eastern Sun.
This journey has led me through perils uncounted, and has taught me to be quick in my thoughts, swift upon my feet, yet ever vigilant in what I do and say.
My senses have been taken to an extreme- my hearing, from the ever- black nights, and my eyesight from straining to see, in fog and sun, my next destination. I've seen no human on this road for many a month,, and the only living things that I have seen are beasts that haunt my sleep or follow me, waiting, waiting for the perfect chance to ambush me.
This search is leading me to the one place I dread most... The Ruins of the Temple of Koppa. There are evil things at work there. These ruins are the darkness which of that riddle refers to. But, tonight I rest. For tomorrow at dawn I will make my way to the ruins, and then to Smollet."
