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

"I'm here once again to watch over your animals" i tell zephi. "and if i dont stop it, or at least get a few hints as to what is happening, then i'll leave tommorow." and with that i made myself comfortable, and prepared to sleep in the same corner i had watched from the night before. "mustang wake me up round midnight or if you see anything" i told my compliant steed.
you sleep again. Then you wake up. Mustang going all weird... he looks like something is really itching on his body. Then you see a movement in the bushes... it leaves a small trail of blue smoke behind it...
you run out the door. A lot of animals go running through the street. Then you see some guards approaching, they yell at you two "mi garam le ze????" about 7 of them... "who caused that" Dyrall translates

"stay calm mustang" i tell him "stay calm". I arm another arrow anto my bow, my best arrow. I carved them all but i spent the most time on this one, it was pine, painted black with a steal tip and raven feathers fletched to it. The perfect arrow. I armed it to my bow and pulled back almost so hard that the string broke. I waited and watched the movement, and finnaly, fired it straight and true only inches infront of where it is now, thats where it'll be then. I released it and it made a terryfying hissing sound as i t flew. straight and true. I could not tell whether it would hit whatever was out there or not.
no movement, your eyes lock on a small sheep... suddenly it's gone... a blue trail of smoke is all that is left. from your instincts you shoot, the arrow falls on the ground 16 feet away from you... mustang starts itching like crazy
"go after it, follow your instincts mustang" i tell him. And i run after it, following the smoke, but always keeping the farm in sight, and avoiding the smoke.

somethings... eating them! i think surprisedly to myself. I draw my bow again and notch an arrow to it, a standard arrow, and slowly and silently walk towards the noise, bow armed, muscles tense, and i walk until i find whats making the noise.
a wolf, not just a wolf a gigantic wolf. Fury in it's eyes. it shines with blue smoke. It's feral blue eyes locked on a large sheep it just killed. It bites the sheep with incredible force and almost swallows it whole.
