Chapter 5 - Prologue 5: New Home, and Memories Before Death

It's been five years since The SilverMoon Clan settle on the mountain we've come to call home. It was odd as even though this mountain was in the middle of nowhere, it still had everything required for the barbarians lifestyle. On the southern side of the mountain there was a water fall flowing out of the mountain and landing in a medium sized lake near the bottom of the mountain. The trees were sparse but there was enough to sustain under 200 people. Same with food, the lake contained a plentiful amount of fish of different varieties as well well as some Wild Desolate Beasts who roam the Dunes Of Exile nearby.

They Clan decided to lay out their homes on the south western end near the lake for easier access.

In the small 5 years the clan had been there they easily adapted to the cold as it was In their Naturally Nomadic Nature. before they stayed here they traveled many times in search of a new home away from aggressive clans and Orc Hordes.

In a large tent closer the the lake one could see a a young boy sitting on a massive fur rug laid out in the center of the tent. The boy had curly black hair and silver and gold eyes that seemed in deep thought as they were dark and unfocused at the moment. The child had chocolate brown skin that was slightly pale due to the cold. Along with his sharp features and chubby cheeks, they child would definitely grow into a handsome young man with his looks also when he stood he was the size of an 8 year old boy even though he was 5 years old.

Soon the child's eyes refocused but one could see something different from a normal child. His eyes were sharp and shined with intelligence which seemed to make him slightly more mature even as a child.

This Boy was Dane and today was his 5 birthday. But he didn't seemed all to exited as he had a serious expression on that looked funny on his baby face.

'I've been reborn and have lived in the child's body 5 years now' Dane thought as he went through the memories he began to obtain slowly since birth.

When Dane was born into this world he was like any other baby, He ate, played, looked around, and slept but right around the time they began to move towards the mountains of Toruh from their old home he began to sleep much more often. This was due to him regaining his memories through his dreams, and so he would relive his past like in his dreams. Slowly deciphering and untangling his jumbled memories till finally, 5 years later he regained all the knowledge and memories of his past life and had them in chronological order.

In his Past Life, Dane was a young African American man,who grew up and orphan, who then went on to become a well known researcher and explorer who was renowned as a genius of his work due to his young age and achievements at digging up many historical artifacts and his research breakthroughs after receiving and education school which was paid for by an unknown Patron to the Orphanage he grew up in.

Dane had just found an ancient temple created by an unknown civilization with a design similar to Egyptian pyramids but created out of mossy Grey stone and was located near a volcano in a dense jungle somewhere in South America. As he went deeper underground into the temple, he stepped into a large room filled with a strange light green liquid that radiated light. The liquid filled a hole in the size of a Swimming Pool.

At first he was exited as he thought he'd found something incredible but as time passed and he experimented with the liquid, he began to feel worried he was wrong about this substance. One day he was taking a look at the liquid that he had collected into glass tubes for testing, and whilst working he didn't realize the slight rumbles in the ground.

Very soon though, the rumbling grew intense as the seconds passed. Dane wanted to leave quickly as he was worried the ceiling would collapse on him, but he didn't want to leave all his hard work behind, so he carefully but hastily gathered his work and began his escape out of the temple.

But sadly he was to late as soon the ceiling couldn't take the pressure and began falling.

Not long after, a load explosion sounded. And as he guessed the volcano nearby was the cause of the rumbling and quaking.

The explosion blast shook the ground even harder causing the ceiling to cave in on top of Dane.

As he he saw his life flash before his eyes, and he was pummeled by huge boulder sized rocks, the liquid he was carrying splashed onto some of his open rock Wounds. And since the massive pool of this strange liquid was nearby he was pushed deep under by the rocks on top of him.

As he was suffocated the death, and he felt his life slip from his body he thought with his last remaining conscious of how he still had the urge to live he suddenly closed his eyes.

Soon he opened his eyes again with a sluggish mind and aching head, he realized he couldn't remember who he was and looked around in curiosity when soon his eyes landed only beautiful woman laying weakly in a fur bed looking at him with tired and loving eyes.

He didn't know why but he felt a deep sense of attachment towards the woman and couldn't help but smile at her warmly.
