Our story begins one lonely night as Roubian Zamark looks onward into the flames, trying to remember what he fights for, why he continues to risk his life on a dream that was his brother Attros's dream in the first place. Looking back he knew why he was still a mercenary, he was doing it for his dead brother. Ever since the day his older brother died Roubian knew that he would get revenge on the monster that killed his brother. Staring into the flames Roubian started remembering that awful day 10 years ago.
Brother why are we taking this mission the man is hardly paying us anything? Attros turned and looked into Roubian's eyes. It isn’t about how much we are getting paid we are doing this to show that we are the best and the best never say no to any mission. Attros placed his hand on Roubian’s shoulder and gave him a smile. Now let’s get going I can’t slay this monster without your help.
Roubian smiled at his older brother and nodded. Onward said Attros to the Black Forest of the Forgotten Land. Roubian and his brother set off to their destination as they got closer the Forest grew thicker and thicker. Brother are we almost there I’m getting tired tugging on his brothers arm? Almost Roubian we are nearly there just be patience.
They continued walking for a bit longer when all of a sudden Attros shouted get down! With a quick flash Roubian was pushed onto the ground by his brother his brother’s sword drawn and holding something back. As Roubian backed away he got a clear picture of the monster that was attacking his brother. It was a pixie with a gold glowing orb in its chest. Is this what we are after brother said Roubian franticly? Yes but don’t let its appearance fool you they are stronger than they look. Attros successfully parried the pixie and tried to counter but the pixie was faster than he was and dodged the attack. Attros was back on the defensive trying to parry and strike but it wasn’t working.

Roubian get out of here said his brother run and don’t stop get back to town and tell the villagers what is going on. The pixie quickly looked at Roubian and said these words, your soul will be mine and you will forever walk the earth with a savory thirst for blood. The pixie quickly pulled out its wand and flung a ball of light at Roubian. Attros jumped in front of the spell shielding Roubian from the light. Attros dropped to his knees and turned his head to look at Roubian. Roubian was looking at his brother in shock his skin was melting off his face! With Attros's last breath he managed to mutter one word…run.
Roubian set up in a cold sweat he had fallen asleep in front of the fire. Roubian stood up and grabbed his axe and started heading toward the Black Forest of the Forgotten Land. Tonight Roubian was going to kill the monster that had killed his brother. Roubian approached the area where the fight took place many years ago.
Roubian looked around but saw nothing, but felt a cold presence somewhere around him. Show yourself said Roubian drastically looking around! The boy from 10 years ago has returned said a dark figure. As Roubian looked closer he saw the pixie with the gold orb in his chest from 10 years ago. Where is my brother you monster said Roubian?

The pixie laughed and said he is my mine and does what I want him to do Said the pixie, now finish him off my slave! Roubian turned around just in time to dodge a swing sword. Roubian stopped and recognized the sword. Roubian looked at the now skinless figure standing in front of him and said brother? The skeleton raised his sword and said Rou…Roubian, thrusting it into Roubian’s chest. Roubian stared lifelessly into the skeleton’s eyes, as Roubian fell to the ground the last thing Roubian heard was the sound of the pixie laughing.
