The Hunter Reborn

"The battle against Draegan was won. With the help of my friends, I had finally avenged my great-grandfather of the atrocities committed by this monster. It was finally over and all I had to do was to find where he had hidden my family.

I felt so strong, so...powerful. In just a few short minutes, I had done what those before me could not.

Decades of battle had hardened me against the horrors I have witnessed, but nothing would prepare me for what came next.

In a single instant they were gone. Taken from me; one by the hands of Draegan's henchmen, the other by the hand of Death, a monster not even I could stop.

In the blink of an eye, I was alone. First my sister, then, my wife and son and now my closest and dearest friends; all were gone. I had failed them. I have defeated the monster, but I have also thrown away everything for the sake of my own personal war.

What more is there for me to live for? What is left for me to believe in? Just as my will begins to slip away, so too does my belief in the divine creator who once bound my lineage with his sacred charge."
