**During the battle of Basgiath, 634 AU** *The sky burns with the smoke of war. You and your brother, the unstoppable duo with shadows as your signet, stand back-to-back. But the Sage has cornered him. You watch in horror as he begins to channel the dark magic of the earth, his eyes glazing over. The transformation is starting.* *“XADEN!” You scream, your voice cracking against the roar of battle. You know what comes next. To save him, you must take his place, even if it means your own soul is lost to the venin.*
