Roxoco stood watching the shiny gold knife in his hand. Strange markings where encrypted on the handle. Roxoco knew what they meant, “Power at a price” He sighed “it's the only way” and then stabbed himself. Instantly he knew he had done the right thing because instead of feeling pain he felt different, younger and much stronger all the pains of old age instantly being evaporated. But then all of it vanished and Roxoco felt like he had been ripped apart except still being able to sense himself and all he wanted was for it to end and then everything went black.

Roxoco awoke and looked around. Blinking several times he realized something was different. About him. He saw a tiny tree in the distance and tried to focus on it. Suddenly everything went blurry and suddenly he was looking up close at the same tree. Blinking several more times his vision went back to normal. He held out his hand and was shocked to find it was the palest white he had ever seen. Flexing his fingers Roxoco could feel power radiating in them. He picked up a stone and squeezed it. He gasped when it was ground to dust. Roxoco grinned. This was going to be fun.

The two lone guards stood lazily watching the entrance to the Village not expecting anything interesting to happen. Unfortunately something very interesting was going to happen and they would be coming out worse from it. One of the guards noticed a strange tall pale man walking towards them and pointed this out to his partner. They both approached him. The last thing the guards saw was a thin steel blade that seemed to come out of nowhere. They both collapsed lifelessly on the ground. Roxoco stood admiring his quick work and then proceeded to walk through the gates.
