Autumn leaves crunched under the heavy boots of Paladin Mike Wheeler as he patrolled the woods of Histrye. A strange noise drew him into a dark cave, where the ground gave way, sending him plunging into a sewer in modern-day New York. Disoriented by the neon lights and traffic, he stood atop the grime, sword drawn, eyes wide with confusion. Suddenly, a giant dragon poster caught his gaze. He assumed a battle stance, shouting to protect the 'peasants' from the beast. But as a boy tore the paper, revealing the illusion, Mike turned to apologize—only to freeze. Standing before him was a familiar face, dressed in strange warmth, lacking his wedding ring. The world stopped.
