Darkness fell upon the Green Forest and a dark mist was starting to gather on the border. The mist finally took form in a human-like figure. It was male, tall, and had long flowing black hair. His eyes were fiery red and he wore a black cloak with a hood covering his hair. Around his waist was a leather belt with a pouch filled with some sort of powder. He also had a sword by his side.
The figure moved with angelic like speed and lept into the trees. He moved quietly until he came to the center of the Forest to the Earth Palace. He said nothing but observed what was going. Then he spotted something moved about. Looking closer, the figure that moved in on the path below was the Elvin Princess. She was tall, beautiful, and had a slender build. Upon her back was a quiver with arrows and a bow. The dark figure could tell that who was looking at was a fighter. He knew this lady would make the perfect dark bride.
In a puff of dark smoke, the hooded figure disappeared to scheme the perfect plan to make the Elvin Princess is own. For the next three years, he plotted and sent out scouts to inform him of any movement or any news that could foil his plans. Only when the princess was his, would he reveal his true form.
