Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Ethan. Ethan lived a normal life in the village of Dunwiddie with his mother and father, his father Johnathon worked as a sailer while his mother Miranda worked as the villages local shoe maker, but her lover would always help her in the shoe making buisness when ever he had the day off. A few years later, shortly before Ethan's birthday, his parents had quite the early surprize waiting for him. When his father finally brought him home from Dunwiddie School, he was greeted only by his mother with a baby girl cradled in her arms. The young boy could only burst into tears of pure happiness, he had officialy become a proud, big brother. His little sister was named Sofia, and he swore with all his heart to protect her from all forms of danger. As days passed, he always wished he could stay at home all day and help his mother look after baby Sofia, but his mother always said that education was more important, and that she was always there for her new-born daughter. However, a few shorts weeks later after Ethan's 7th birthday, it was brought to his attention that his father had become wanted man for reasons unknown. After his father managed to get away from the growing army of villagers and royal guards, he came back to pick his son up. Ethan was quickly lifted onto his fathers horse, then he and his father tearfuly said goodbye to the other half of their family, and off they rode into the night. After many hours of riding east, the father and son eventually got lost in a dark, overgrown forest, thankfuly Ethan noticed a large, overgrown, ancient temple. They climbed the staircase and raced inside just as it started raining, after ensuring his son their safety, a group of large, ghost-like figures appeared in the center of the temple room. Their Leader introduced themselves as The Spirits of the Ever Realm, ancient guardians tasked with watching over and protecting each and every kindgom there was. The Spirit Leader who was identified as the Spirit of Enchancia told Ethan's father that they needed his son, the reason being was that his son apparently had a "Destiny". The boy's father didn't believe a single word of it and defended his son no matter what the spirits told him, at last the Leader Spirit had had enough and he used the power of telekinesis to forcefuly pull the poor defenseless child out of his father's arms. Ethan's father tearfuly pleased for them to release his son and let them leave unharmed, but the Spirit Leader kept refusing, saying only that the boy must come with them should the Ever Realm wish to remain safe. But then something happened inside of Ethan's father at the moment, something SNAPPED. He almost immidietely shouted his own lungs out and charged strait towards the group of spirits in an attempt to grab his son and run for their lives, but the Elder Spirit was prepared and he used the power of teleportation against the enraged father. All Ethan's could do was tearfuly watch as his father slowly faded away in a bright flash of light, then both he and the spirits faded away into the Afterlife, to begin his new life.

As the years went by, Miranda, the boy's mother, had almost completely forgotten about him as she raised her new-born child Sofia. As for Sofia herself, she grew up never knowing of her big brother's existence, the day her mother married the King was the day her life changed forever.
