A long long time ago, longer than anyone can remember, evil decended upon the
good and peaceful people of Fairyland. Old legends tell of a lone brave hero who
saved Fairyland from the imminent threat of doom. Since then, the people of
Fairyland have lived through centuries and centuries of peace, and all memories
of evil faded away.

But one especially dark evening, a huge column of fire exploded out of the
deepest depths of Fairyland, lighting the night sky. The next morning, strange
doors began to appear from nowhere. Many who were curious entered these doors,
but were never seen again.

From that day on, unusual events and catastrophes began to take place. Huge
cracks opened in the ground, scarring the beautiful lands. Floods wiped out
entire villages, and the people of Fairyland experienced famine. And then the
monsters came.

The Fairyland council feared that the same evil in the legends was back again. A
wise old oracle predicted the second coming of evil. He also spoke of a young
man who could save Fairyland from its gravest crisis.

A young man was chosen to find the reason and source of the evil. As the people
gathered to bid him farewell and good luck, they couldn't help but wonder if
they had chosen the right one.
