Rise to power.
In the ancient times, in the day of the world, the land was ruled by kings and queens. Seasons changed one another, precisely one by one, and nothing strange seemed to happen. People didn’t believe in magic – they just had no time: life was too hard for such nonsense. Of course there were some people to assume the existence of the unexplainable, but the major part denied it. Still, there were some rumors about the unknown creatures and those, who could tame them, about those who could use the power of the elements, who could read people’s minds and manipulate them.
Time went by, and little by little, people who possessed some magical force appeared and as always not all of them used it for the better purposes. Magical abilities corrupted people from inside, but only those, who couldn’t withstand it. The age of just kings and wise queens had gone. Darkness began to swallow the land. The age of wars and mercenaries began.
Since then about a long time had passed. The only ruler of the vast land which used to be fertile and beautiful was the Shadow mage, named Maze. A few had ever seen him, but those who had, were either scared to death or amazed and stunned by him, without any hope of getting out of his control. Some day a man, he never looked as a human being at that time, he had flung to the Darkness completely and it changed him inside out. His voice, his appearance – everything had changed much but gave him outstanding powers. His eyes made one forget everything. Rotting to the core, they paralyzed his body and wrung his soul. His face was pale, nothing reminded of being a human once. His way to the ultimate power over the little world had been passed with the help of a Shadow dragon, Sharoth. It was that mysterious creature, a familiar, which he had been given by the will of the creators, but had used it in another way. There was no question that no one could resist him. But there was a thing that even he was frightened of.
An old legend claimed that there would once exist a man, who would change everything…
