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

he takes he bag, he opens it "oh look" he says taking out the artifact "we got ourselves a little tricky one, guess it's not in the sword case after all, you got confused didn't you?" he says pulling out his dagger "you don't lie to some one like me"
OH GOD HE"S A QUICK SEARCHER i screamed in my head. I had an arrow clenched between two of my fingers. I had it hidden in a rip in my pants. I threw it like a throwing knife, right for another joint and i surged forward imediantly after, punching him hard in his face, so hard that my knuckles bled and then tore the dagger out of his hand. i jumped backwards and held it in a throwing stance. "stay down" i cammanded.
as you do that he swishes the dagger, cutting you in the hand, he stumbles back and then kicks you, sending you to a stun, he punches you back toward...
I grab the case and whip it straight at his head, grabbing another arrow i throw it, sending it spining through the air towards the mercenary. I also swing my bloody hand around spraying him with blood, my blood.
I tuck tail and all out sprint for my sword. My heart pounds in my chest, i can hear it, the adrenaline surges through me. I skid and pick up my sword and then stand to face the mercenary. "you're going to die here" i growled at him. I held my sword in a loose one hand stance, blade pointed downwards and ready to parry. It was on, and only one would live to tell the tale.
anyway you do and the knight punches it, then he takes out a dagger and sticks it to your animal "give me the artifact or his dead"
as for simon: you do that, he does the same stance "why do require the artifact? What can a peasant like you do with the artifact? With such great power?" he says circling around you

" with what power? there is no power in this artifact, only death. you and your king do not understand anything about it. and im not going to explain it to anyone" I snarled at him. I was tense, my muscles like ripcords. I was waiting for an attack, any attack, for i knew deap within me that i would be able to parry it and hack one of his limbs off. I left the sword in my left hand, my non dominant and always faced him.
Perfect i thought, right for my sword hand (his right is my left). I wait for his sword to come at me, just moments it could be. My body still tense. It was only seconds as i waited for the swing of his sword.
Simon: he swings his sword at you with fierce power screaming "lies!!!"
Mech: you take your lance, it is deadly but heavy weight, he snatches something on the wyvern and throws it on the ground, you see the wyvern's wings broken...
then he pulls his sword and gets ready to counter your attack, you attack him and he dodges and strikes the lance making you stumble, he then comes at you with his knife on the left hand now prepared for the kill
