*dusts myself off* Well, long story short: [quote]My real name is Ragnell, one of the 5 Archsages of the Council in Ytrule, Bern. I hale as a descendant of the legendary hero Athos, the Great Archsage who killed a dragon god at the Dragon's Gate along with 4 other heroes. I am also part dragon in my blood, but bear no characteristics of one besides my strength and stamina. Basically, Zec, a corrupt Archsage, has taken over Bern in my leave, turning it into a warring country. He aims to release the imprisoned dragon gods at Dragon's Gate, and become ruler of the world. To do so, he must absorb some of the power of some of the 6 Ancient Tomes: Fimbulvtr (ice), Forblaze (fire), Excalibur (wind), Thoron (lightning), Gespenst (darkness), and Aureola (light), in that order. He has absorbed up to Thoron, whereas I have only absorbed up to Excalibur. He must be stopped from grabbing Gespenst, or else dragon gods will be welcomed into this world. He has caught wind of me attempting to stop him only recently, and that is bad, for now we are racing towards Gespenst.[/quote] What's happening in a nutshell
