Zachary woke up in the middle of the forest that he was so familiar with.
(Zack)
"What am I doing back here?"
(???) "Your up and about I see"
(Zack) "Wha? Who's there?"
(???) "No need to be alarmed. I am here."
Zachary looks up.
(Zack) "What do you want?"
(???) "I am here to ask to ask you of something"
(Zack) "Such as?"
(???) "You've heard of the nation Darath correct?"
(Zack) "Yeah."
(???) "Do you know that it is under the rule of Thereme?"
(Zack) "Really? I've heard about that guy, he's cold and heartless. When did the old king die?"
(???) "Some time back actually"
(Zack) "Alright, let's cut to the chase, one, what do you need me for, and two, why couldn't you have just come up to me and ask?"
(???) "I've come to ask of your assistance to help me stop Thereme from doing whatever he is planning. I would've asked you up front, but, I can't be seen by anyone. I need to stay hidden."
(Zack) "Like the people of Grahk?"
(???) "I suppose that's a good comparison"
(Zack) "So why do you need
MY help?"
(???) "I saw your fight with those two thieves. Clearly you have amazing abilities I'll need to execute my plan."
(Zack) "Thanks for the offer, but, I'd rather do it alone. See ya."
(???) "You sure you won't reconsider?"
(Zack) "Nope. I got my mind set. I'm not helping you. Goodbye."
The man thought to himself
"Hm.. apparently he's not the agreeing type...I'll have to start it without him."
And thus Zachary began his adventure, not knowing what the future held in store for him.
