Predestined Paths

As the pages of time turn so do the pages of adventurer's lives. Who know not the perils that lie ahead of them. For you see their paths are predestined. This is their story, of their hopes and dreams love and hate, of foes old and new. It is their story of their lives and very souls. This tale begins with a simple event. That event was someone's wish that help would come to save her world's people from the evil Dark Lord Shadow Fang and his dark minions. This is a tale about the heroes that wish summoned.

There are two prophecies that come from ancients of old, foretold by the last great warlock known as Rune Dreamweaver. Before his death he had two of his visions written on a spelled scroll that could not be read for 25,000 years. That time has now come and what he foretold can be told.

The first telling:

One is the number of the chosen who will save us all.

Two is the number of the Sentinels who will fight for freedom.

Three is the number of the challenges the chosen will have to over come.

Four is the number of souls untied that will give us all hope.

This was the first, and perhaps, the less cryptic of the two. The second is different from the first, as it seems to be done by another.

The second:

This is a tale that comes forth from antiquity, of four souls who bring about the winds of peace.

They shall be known by the names:

Stone Faced Archangel, skilled in the art of war, and unmatched in all the lands of the world in guerilla war tactics.

Compassionate Hand, whose visions of what is yet to be. Saves countless lives, yet when enraged can take even more lives

Healer of the Ancients, race lost to the sea of time and last of her kind fights so others can live in peace

Chaotic Stallion, longs for rest and peace but Fate and Destiny constantly seem to have other plans and challenges for this one to meet.

These four will come from afar to fight together as one. As the will have heroes of a time forgotten aid then in their destined path. Who will not fight but give guidance and wisdom. So that they may learn.

Rune Dreamweaver dies two days after the two visions are written down and sealed away. Many lesser mages would try to brake the seal on the scroll but in the end all would fall. The scroll would disappear form history for the next 25,000 years only to be found by a dwarf and his party of adventures in the mist of a great battle, and given into the care of the Dark Healer who was with him at that time. To guard it form all evil.
