STORYLINE

On the ship back to Arios Isle, Taulis, a soldier, celebrates with the other soldiers after the 5 long years of war. After 5 brutal years, thousands of deaths and seemingly endless, bloody battles, the Dagone Continent finally fell to the hands of Arios. Looking forward to be re-united with his family, Taulis rushes home after he disembarks the ship.

He returns home only to find his village not the way it was when he left it. The buildings were wrecked. The houses were empty. The crops were burned. What happened here?! Taulis thought to himself. He looks around trying to find anyone, anyone that can tell him what’s going on. He looks through everywhere. All of the houses. All of the farms. But finds nothing. He finally realizes that something horrible has happened in this place, in which he does not know. But that was when he saw it. A scroll. On a table. It had sloppy handwriting on it that belonged to Kane, his brother. He reads it:

“ Dear Journal,
When you see your parents brutally nailed against their own house's walls, each with their heads decapitated and only a bloody mess surrounding the area, you wonder: How does the monster that did this live on without guilt? Only I am the lucky one in this atrocity."

Urgh, why was I not here to protect them!? Taulis’ fist full of frustration slammed into the wall, which then came tumbling down. What do I do now?! I guess the only place I can go is the city..

Taulis heads to the main city of Arios, hoping to find what happened to his family. But instead, he finds a dark secret that will soon corrupt the whole nation.
