As the hero came back to his senses,he looked up and stood in awe at the sight he was witnessing.A huge castle,fully black,was standing before him.He walked up the stone walkway,approached the gate,and opened the door.

As he went in,he was greeted by a room with black walls holding strange paintings of armored knights and terrifying beasts clashing.As he walked forward,an old man,lying in front of the entrance to a big room,grasped his leg,saying in a tone that sounded like he was dying:"Turn back.Turn back".As he spoke his final words,he slowly stopped moving,signifying his passing.Our hero noticed that the dead man carried a sword,which he took and sheathed,promising to return it once his task was complete.Looking around,he saw many dead bodies,each dressed in a different set of armor.He found one to his liking,a simple yet sturdy iron armor,and equipped it alongside an orthodox iron shield,then proceeded to the large room ahead.
As he went into the room,the entrance behind him was sealed with some sort of a dark barrier,preventing him from leaving the room,which held a collection of portals,each with an inscription over them.Looking around a way to escape and for clues regarding the portals,he came across an old torn up book.He picked it up,and managed to figure out in a way what it contained:"Thou who hast cometh,to escape this castle,thou must defeat the 7 keepers of power,so that thou may achieveth such power,to be able to escape".

Not a very bright mind,but he did understand this.He would have to traverse the portals,destroy what was inside,and claim its power,in order to escape..Now with mixed feelings,such as fear,but also conviction,the hero steps into the first portal and prepares to challenge his first foe,the first champion of light.
