  THE DAGON ARCHIVES I

  You wake up bloody and panting. You look around and see burnt and collapsed trees around you, then you take a look at yourself. The rags you are wearing are covered in blood and your forehead is bleeding. While loosing a lot of blood you have no Idea how this cut happened and how you got to where you are. You wander forward into the wilderness, not knowing where your next destination is, all you know is that you have to get to a place to heal. You wander into the Forrest, every step you take you can here the crunching of twigs. Suddenly you hear a ferocious howl.

   

  "As if I didn't have enough problems" you muttered to yourself.

   

  Out of the darkness a wolf bites your arm, you shake your arm vigorously trying to shake it off. It doesn’t work, you continue to shake your arm until you can reach for something to defend yourself with. You see a branch that fell off the tree behind you, so with all your might you grab the branch and hit the blasted animal. The wolf whimpers and lets go only to disappear into the darkness of the Forrest. You look at your arm, it is bloody and has one of the canine's teeth deep in the bite almost into the bone, you swear your arm could have been bitten off. Suddenly when you thought the wolf was gone it jumps again from the darkness ready to finish you off but miraculously you punch it mid air. The wolf whimpers in pain, you then have this incredible urge to go and face your palm at the beast.  So you do and to your disbelief flames come from your palm, the fire lights up the environment around you like the sun is up. The wolf whimpers. It was toasted, it was completely powerless and was being tortured with a slow painful death. You close your fists and see the charred corpse of the beast. You decide to loot the wolf for meat hoping that it may heal you, but little meat was found due to a lot of it being burnt to a state in which made it inedible. Now after eating the scraps of meat you decided to go away quickly as most wolves are in pack and you don't want to see if this one had one too.

   

  You ran for a good twenty minutes before finding a place where you thought was safe and you decided to inspect your forehead. You see the bleeding has reduced but your arm is not as good, it is bleeding like a waterfall. Without a clean water source nearby you think your arm may get infected and give you Rockjoint.

   

  You carry on with your random roam through the Forrest to find help and maybe someone who can tell you how you got in the middle of the Forrest in the first place. You start to see a clearing in the Forrest, giving hope to finding a town or city nearby. The opening contained a bunch of cut down trees and showed a stone path. You follow the stone path, hoping it brings you directly to a local town as you have lost a lot of blood and with out a healing potion you may pass out and you worry what may happen to your body. 

   

  As you struggle to continue to walk on the road you see a lit lantern and some town guards, it seems you found your City...
