Prologue: The Forest Wolves

The people of Evalos welcomed the new king with open arms, for Kronos Gotreid Cross was a hero to many, and his service to the kingdom of Evalos was well knowned. He promised to bring Evalos the glory it deserves, and the people of Evalos rejoiced... but not for long.

Because of Kronos's obsession to defeat the Vallax Republic, the hero they once knew began to change. The King focused Evalos's resources on the Military, and the people became second priority. He built military schools, fortresses and often neglected the needs of the people. He began to increase the tax of citizens to fund the War effort. Soon, the people rebelled against the King, but all that opposes the government was considered a traitor and was executed. A few people tried to oppose the king, and many of them are dead.

This was Otros Oblaid's strategy; to keep the people disciplined, they must live in fear. Now, the free Kingdom of Evalos was living under the iron hand of Kronos Cross. The Citizens were too afraid to say anything against the government, because they fear for their life.

But there are some who refused to be silent. Anastasia Cadone, the Governor of the province of Michzen declared that her province would not pay the taxes, and urged the governor of other provinces to join her. Instead of getting support, she only received threats. But that did not stop her, instead it made her more determined. Her husband, an imperial soldier named Sirus Cadone feared for her life, and demanded her to stop, but she did not. Soon she was arrested and was labeled a traitor.

Even before she was executed, she demanded the people to stand up for themselves. Sirus Cadone can not do anything but watch his wife's execution on the plaza, and it was more than he can take. He cannot forgive himself for not doing anything to save her wife, and decided to end his life by jumping off a cliff.

As he was about to jump to his death, he saw her daughter, Misha Cadone, being harassed by fellow imperial soldiers. Rage filled his body, and the memory of his wife's execution made him think of only one thing... revenge. He attacked the soldiers in a frenzied rage, but they were too many for him. Soon, he was lying in a pool of his own blood.

As he closed his eyes, he realized that he was so caught up in his wife's death that he has forgotten about their two daughters. Realizing the world they will be forced to live in, he refused to die without a fight. But as he opened his eyes, the imperial soldiers were retreating, some were now dead, struck by arrows. It was his neighbors in the town of Asanhi, Michzen who helped him. Her wife's death made his neighbors realize that they were fools to let the government use them.

He moved into hiding with his children to the forest in Alamoren, Michzen. His friends and neighbors joined them and soon they formed a village in the forest. Sirus wanted to pursue his wife's ideals and decided to form a group who will oppose the corruption in the current government. Most of his fellow villagers joined him in his cause, and they became known as the Forest Wolves.
