you were a ranger, your grandfather a legend that died fighting off foul creatures aiming to destroy the land. The demons were after an ancient artifact, if the artifact is destroyed a power of evil that is invincible would be unleashed upon the world, your dad died killing a warlock that wanted to destroy the artifact. yeras later the artifact was found by a peasent and served him as a tax to the king, the king found the artifact and let the priests find out the artifact's prophecy, though they mis-interpreted it, telling the king the destroyer of the artifact would become invincible in strength, and so the king wanted to destroy it, though it could only be destroyed in the middle of the elf forest, a place protected by a gigantic animal guardian. He heard of you, you had a knack for making animals trust you, and in fighting monsters too, he also knew about the mark, the ranger's mark. That sacred mark passed on generation to generation in your family gives its owner an enchatment making monsters and animals alike trust you and not attack you. And so he sent you on a quest to kill the guardian, in return he promised to give you the artifact which you knew the actual prophecy of, you killed the guardian and wanted to claim your price, but the king had evil in his heart, and so he set an assasin to kill you once you were in the castle and make it look like he was trying to get the artifact too, only he didn't succed, you understood your situation quick enough.. and so you grabed the artifact, charged out the castle and rode your steed to safety, there are still assasins on your tracks, you have to finally keep the artifact safe!
you are the wanderer

"there is the elf shelter, also I heard at the tavern once that there is an almost unknown city in the desert, with a completely different culture, as I believe it's the only city on the continent not in the great kingdom..."
"I'm as you are, but ok" he starts packing up and heads to the left...
Pauk, you crouch down and you see he moves towards your arrow, he then lifts it from the ground, makes a line on the ground with his finger and points where you stood half a minute earlier, he looks around, then starts heading towards the sheep...
you go, after 2 hours the trees get less crowded, by late noon the ground is almost filled with sand and there is no more trees around. Dyrall stops for a second, you are getting really thirsty "shall we rest for some minutes?" he asks
you rest, you are getting really thirsty and Dyrall shouts "hey would'ya hand me the water bottle? This place is making me as sweaty as an over-energized trail runner!"
"trail runner's some one who runs for glory or something in the meadows.... saw one when I traveled as a child, he ran like hell... I asked him why he said 'for glory'" you drink some water, it seems you drank just a bit but the water quickly runs out "we better find some water in this desert... or we will melt ourselves" Dyrall says laughing
