His eyes travel around, taking in his surrounding and sees lifeless bodies, soil wet with blood and all he ever lost.
A small flower hanging low yet still not crippled after everything that has happened caught his attention as he struggles to breath with death in the air.
He drags his body towards the flower and collapses onto the dirty muddy ground.
With shaky, blood covered hands he pats the soil as salty tears make their way down his face and water the little surviour.

Prologue: The Prophecy In ancient times, it was said that a great power would arise, a power that would bring magic back to the forefront of the worlds. It was said that this power would be born of lightning and fire and that it would be wielded by a mage of great strength and courage. The world would face great upheaval and danger, but magic would be the key to survival. There will come those who will unite the kingdoms and empires, and they will bring an end to the darkness that has long shadowed the land. It was said that these mages would be the saviour of the worlds and that they would bring hope and light to all. But for many years, the prophecy remained unfulfilled. Magic seemed to be ending, few remained that could wield it. The darkness seemed to grow.

The first of them had arisen, and the journey to bring magic back had begun.
