Shadow Winds

Prelude of Winds

EP stood high on a mountain overlooking the windless sea. A large, purple moon dyed the waters a bright lavender.

"Wind..." A woman's voice whispered on a silent breeze.

It seemed as if the entire world lay below him, but even from here, he could not see the shadows that lurked beyond the horizon. The wind was changing, and it was not the only thing. For the change in the wind brought change itself.

"Wake up!" The muscled Boatman roared as he stood over the sleeping form of EP>

EP woke with a start, "What? We there?" He looked into the fire-filled eyes of the Boatman with his own, sleep-dulled crystal blue eyes.

"Not quite, time to earn your passage!" The Boatman regarded EP with a disgusted snarl, "Can a Nerron use a flare cannon, or is that too tedious of a task for one of the 'Great Heros'?"

"No problem!" EP said cheerfully.
