Necessary Background Information:

The village of Krondia is a peaceful somber town and happily, you call it home. The leader, Bartholomew, is very generous and knows you by name. The town hero, Tork also knows you, for he was the one who found you in the woods as an infant with no parents in sight. Everyone in town pretty much knows you for your strange beginning in this world and the fact that strange things always seem to happen around you. Everyone knows you are a special child chosen by the gods except you. "A new hero is rising," everyone whispers around you.

While on a nightly hunt for, a bright blue glow shatters the dull shadows of the night. As you, Morn son of none, approach it you feel a tingling through your body and eventually it takes control of your body. Against your will you are forced to pick up the glowing stone and look into it. As a curse passes over you an old voice, older than time itself echoes in your head.

“Now that you, Morn son of none, have sworn your soul to me, the great wizard Merek, by the silent pact of the stone. There is only one way for you to free yourself and that is by freeing the beautiful princess captive. Your souls are forever tied so in the event you fail to save her and you die, she shall die with you. You must solve my puzzles and play my games if you wish to live. Try not to break free of the curse because you will only find sorrow on that path. Free the princess from my dungeon in a week's passing or else her time with yours will be up. I’ll be watching you pathetic hero.”

While you start to process this information a mist surrounds you and a green glow fills your view. a light beautiful voice fills the air, it's the oracle.
