The opening scene starts with Namato in a dazed state. He is kneeling on the ground bloodied and battered. A giant battle axe is next to him with blood stained all over it. As he looks around he sees four distorted black figures on the ground. They are all bloody and lifeless. He hears an ominous chuckle in the distance. As he looks over, he sees a giant orc holding his friend Khatar up by the throat.

  "Namato you must run, save yourself" Khatar says as the orc crushes his neck and throws him to the ground. He then turns towards Namato, slowly making his way to him.

  "You will bring death to all who follow you" the orc said with a deep almost demonic voice. Namato's heart starts beating faster with every step the orc takes.

  "You are not the hero of this story" the orc says now standing in front of Namato. He picks up the axe and gets ready to swing it.

  "In the end you could do nothing for them" the orc says while swinging the axe towards Namato. It barely reaches him as he wakes up in his bed. Heart still beating trying to figure out if that was real or not. Sweat dripping down his face. But it was just a nightmare. As he looked around he was still in his bedroom. It was morning time and birds were chirping outside. Suddenly the smell of cooking food caught his attention and distracted him for a brief second from what just happened. Then someone knocked at the door.

  "Wake up already and eat quick, we are going to be late for work again because of you" Khatar said from outside his room. Namato got up out of bed and got ready. Putting on his golden armor with a bulls signia on the front of it. This shows he is a knight of his kingdom, Bulltaureau his hometown. He makes his way in to the living room. Khatar already dressed but he gets special privileges so he doesn't have to wear the armor.

  "I wish I could be like you and never have to wear this armor again, it's so loud and heavy" Namato says to Khatar.

  "Well maybe if you train hard enough you can beat me in a duel one day and take my spot" Khatar said as Namato sat down at the wooden dining table.

  "Hey, I got close a few times before"

  "That's cause I felt bad for you, so I tried giving you a fighting chance, that's why I didn't use my magic those times" Khatar said while putting a plate of food in front of Namato.

  "Oh boy, this looks delicious" Namato said while already stuffing his face full of food.

  "Great, now I'm going to have to clean up after you as well, like always"

  They finish up eating their food and head out in to a crowded town. This town is filled with goblin merchants lined up and down the streets. Elves, humans, and goblins mainly roam the streets, sometimes a dwarf will show up, but usually not the rest of the races.

  "So, Namato why did you look so shocked when you left your room today?" Khatar said as they made their way outside of the town and through a giant castle wall that surrounds the entire town.

  "Uh, well I just had a bad nightmare, nothing to worry about"

  "Hmm, alright" Khatar said with a questioning tone. They made their way to a forest that was not too far off from the walls, with a tall watchtower over looking the entire castle and forest. Two guards greeted them at the bottom and then headed back to the castle. They made their way up the tower.

  Time passed by and as the sun started going down they lit up torches at the top. Khatar is sleeping with his hood over his face, sitting down in a chair. Namato is also sitting down in another chair and just looking out towards the castle. He reminisces about how he was younger. He had a dream of becoming a king and ruling his own kingdom. He also envisioned a world with no wars and that he would bring peace to all races. He smiled as he remembered all the things he wanted to do. Then suddenly a ladies scream could be heard in the forest. Namato tried looking through the forest to find who screamed. Khatar immediately woke up and started making his way down the tower with Namato following behind. They make their way to where the scream came and a small opening in the trees revealed a lady whose face was hidden, from the lack of light and she had a hood on. Right in front of her a giant wolf, that was the size of a small building, was in front of her.

  "Hey, you big ugly monster why don't you pick on someone that can actually fight" Namato said yelling at the wolf. The wolf immediately snapped its head and focused on him. It started growling and leaped towards Namato swiping at him. Luckily he put his shield out in front of him, but the force knocked him back in to a tree. Namato was stunned for a second and as the wolf prepared to swipe again, Khatar using his magic, managed to get on top the wolf and stab it with his daggers. It stopped its focus on Namato and shifted it to Khatar. Namato was still dazed but made his way to the lady whose face was knelt down and terrified.

  "Ma'am are you alright?" He said kneeling down and looking at her. He races he'd his hand out and she touched it. He helped her up and then the wolf stopped fighting with Khatar and looked towards Namato. The wolf leaped and tried biting him, but he again put up his shield. The teeth of the wolf biting down on the shield slowly started making it crack. It wasn't going to hold out much longer.

  "Khatar finish this thing off already" Namato screamed as the pressure on his arms were giving out. Then khatar slid down underneath the wolf's neck, slicing it open. Blood spraying on the ground and the wolf fell.

  "Good one Khatar, now let's get you back somewhere safe" Namato said while looking around for the lady.

  "She must've ran off, hopefully we can find her before it gets too dark out" Khatar said as he and Namato started looking around for her.

  The lady is walking towards the castle far from the others.

  "Finally, i can take what is mine back" she says as she shapeshifts in to Namato.

  "They will pay for what they did to us" she says with a sinister tone.
