Once upon a time, there was a world of sword and magic. Five legendary heroes banded together and slew the Mythical Creature Thanatos, who had been terrorizing the land. The epic tales of the five heroes spread widely, and their reputations grew. They created five different nations, and for many generations, the five nations lived in harmony.

But then, the scourge of the world's curse was unleashed. Famine, war, pestilence, and death spread across the land. The five nations were torn apart, and the people were filled with fear.

Arawn, a young boy from a small village, was tired of this. He knew that someone had to do something to stop the curse, and he was determined to be the one. He set out on a journey to find the cause of the curse and end it once and for all.

Along the way, Arawn met a group of unlikely companions who helped him on his quest. Together, they faced the dangers of the world and the power of the scourge of the world. But Arawn was not just any boy. He was the one who was prophesied to save the world.

Could he fulfil his destiny and become the new hero?

The Cursed Land

The aftermath of the battle left the knights weary but determined. They had managed to drive back the shadowy creatures and hold their ground near the ancient gate, but the sense of foreboding lingered in the air. The runes on the gate still pulsed faintly, a reminder that their victory was only temporary. 


Arawn sat by the campfire, his hands trembling as he stared into the flickering flames. His mind replayed the battle, the moment he had called upon the wind to repel the monstrous creature, and the whispered words of the spirit that had guided him. 


The words echoed in his mind, a stark ultimatum that left him grappling with the choices he had made. For the first time, he had truly felt the power within him—raw, untamed, and terrifying. But it wasn’t just the power that unsettled him; it was the voice. The spirit’s presence was growing stronger, and with it came a tide of emotions and memories that weren’t his own.
