You awake abruptly, drenched in sweat. You had a dream of your mother and father, you don't remember them very well now, they were killed by the baddies when you were two. Your stomach growls, you haven't eaten for a while. The food in the orphanage is running low, you've been giving your rations to the younger children. All of the others are still asleep. Sister Gertrude quietly knocks on the door. You sense that you know what this is about. When you open the door Sister Gertrude says that due to the baddies blocking off the bridge to Graal City the kids in the orphanage may starve because the food cannot be sent down anymore. She then explains a secret passage under 'The Joint' in the storage area. She says she has no idea what might lay ahead, but that you are the only hope. She briefly disappears and then comes back with a glimmering sword with a beautifully crafted red handle. 'This-This, was your F-Father's sword' she says choking back tears, she had always felt bad for you. You take the precious piece of metal and head out for your adventure.
