Before you say I copied off Dragon Age 2 with the name Hawk,I wrote this before DA2 came out. Hawk is a sort of proto-type for Poizynus Feingz. (half-elf, rogue, dual scimi's, etc.)

Prologue
"Once, every millennium, it is said that a Hero shall rise to smite all foes of thy Kingdom, to spread Justice throughout thy land, and to be a Savior to thy kin. Yet, he shalt not go unopposed, for a great Foe doth grow for him to do war upon. Thus is the cycle of Akinos, the World of all Worlds. Should there come a time in which neither Hero nor Foe shall rise, know that all is at stake, for the One shall be chosen by the Gods to doom man, or to save him, and shall be named by the birthmark on his palm."
-Prophecy of the Heroes
Chapter One
Til Death Do Us Part
With a heave of his claymore, Dalen killed his archenemy, the deadly Hydra. Or so he thought. One final head lay on the ground, making no sound as it slithered across to the wounded Hero. Dalen didn't even have time to think before a giant mouth swallowed him whole.
"Blasted Foe! Knocked aside my claymore!" Dalen spat as he moved closer to the beast's belly by the Hydra's throat muscles.
Dalen reached into his boot and pulled out a curved dagger.
~Measly butter knife...~ a voice in the Hero's head muttered.
"Oan, why don't you use some of your power to help me!" Dalen screeched, trying in vain to slash his way out.
~As the Voice of the One, I can't do that, Hero Dalen.~
The bloody warrior's eyes widened as something dawned on him. "You mean...I'm not the One?"
~Of course not you ikut!~
Dalen wildly swung his dagger, cutting open the beast's neck. Yet as he did so, Oan appeared in front of him. Dalen had never before seen the spirit, and gazed in awe at his ghostly appearance. Oan conjured a wicked scythe with ancient runes carved onto the blade, saying akth wei dank, ki gehn uas fem semas, or "Your Soul Departs, We Shall Protect You From Darkness". Dalen threw his blade at the spirit, but it passed through Oan harmlessly.
"After all I've done, it's time for me to die?!" Dalen screamed as he fled from the deadly revenant, picking up his claymore.
Oan showed no expression as he responded. "The Gods have found a new pawn for their games. She shows quite promise."
