prologue

From a distance it looked like there was nothing wrong with the castle. But getting closer, cries of terror could be heard from within. Demons and creatures were killing everyone. Fires were being set all around, homes were burnt to the ground.
The Dark Lord, all black and evil, walked up to the castle steps and told his minions "Let no mortal live. All shall die."
All the minions let out roars of agreement.

Within the deep the king and queen tried to do their best to protect everyone but the Dark Forces were too great.
"Before they break in, don't let them get our son, my queen. You must flee! Protect him."
"No. I don't want to leave you! I will never leave you."
This baby was in his nanny's arm crying because of the evil laughter and tortured cries. It tries to squirm out of his nanny's arms, reaching for his mother.
Jessabella and Rokan went to their son , trying to soothe him. Jessabella cried as she held her son, "There, there Zoro. I'm here now. Hush now and don't cry. I'll always be with you."
Zoro quieted at these words, but was startled when the door burst in.
"Brother, the castle has been breached! We can no longer hold them off."
"Jessabella, my dear, take our son and run."
"No, I already told you, I will never leave you."
"Lupan, take my son and his nanny to safety."
"But I can't just leave you."
"Just do as I ask."
"Yes, Rokan. I will protect the boy with my life."
Lupan grabbed the nanny and the boy and fled while the Dark Forces bursted into the room. Rokan and Jessabella had already started a chant to seal off the Dark Lord.
Lupan and the nanny, holding Zoro, floated away but some creatures were following. They went as far as they could.
"Hide here. I'll be back." Lupan told the nanny.
The nanny hid in the bushes trying to remain silent but could hold on no longer. The creatures were approaching fast and the nanny had to think fast. She started to run and she came upon a man and a woman. She gave Zoro to them. "Please protect this child. Don't let them take him." She gave them the pendant of their kind. "Run. Run back to your village. There is danger about." She kissed Zoro's forehead and gave her final goodbye.
The couple heard cries and roars of anger. They began to run to their village.
The nanny ran away from them, toward the river. She grabbed a large rock and whapped it in a cloth to resemble a child. As the creatures neared, she stepped into the water. "I'll never let you have him." She jumped into the river and drowned herself. They thought she had died along with the baby so they returned back to their lord.
But what they found did not please them. Their lord was trapped inside another dimension and the lord and lady of the keep already died by casting the spell to seal the Dark Lord. But they vowed to continue their lord's wish to control the world. THey took over the keep and made it their own, swearing to bring their lord back.
