One dark, windy night a
silent wanderer came to the
small village of Thaeron.
His face was old, but his
eyes were filled with a
strange glow. He walked
straight to a little house,
where a mother and her
little son lived.

As he entered the room, the
woman looked up on him with
a face full of fear, but
when their eyes met, she
calmed down. She walked
over to the cradle, lifted
her son up, and handed him
gently to the old man. As
he left, a tear found its
way down her face, even
though she didn't know why.

Many years passed, and the
two lonely travellers
finally approached the
destination of their very
long journey.

After walking several days
in wind and snow, a valley
appeared out of nothing.
The grass was green, the
birds sang, and people
walked happily about in
the streets. The boy gazed
up towards the sky... There
he saw something he never
had seen before.

High up above the valley,
a great castle was floating
with a crimson orb around
it. As he walked through
the streets, people fell on
their knees before him...

He was the one they had
been waiting for. The one
from the prophecies...
He was... The Child...
