The legend begins in a village near a small river. Life was peaceful and quiet, the men were hunting the plains for food and meat. On a starlit night, after a great hunt, the village was dancing around the fire, feasting and playing.
Then a tragedy happened, a tragedy that would bring Erik's life from light down to darkness... His wife Virginia was brutally murdered by a thief, while she uselessly tried to defend her home. The thief run away, and Erik followed and finally killed him, full of anger and wrath, but he could do nothing for his wife, nothing apart to shed his tears while saying to her farewell with the last goodbye.
Erik's soul was tormented... How could he bear this injustice, this tragedy, how could he live whitout his love? He was almost mad... He believed to hear his wife calling him... "Return to me" she said.
Then Erik heard an old legend: perhaps not all hope was lost. Far away, in the mountains of the north, lied a place, a hidden shrine where all innocents souls are kept for eternity. He was obsessed by the idea to bring his wife back to life and so he began a journey to temple of the deads... His soul was troubled and tormented... "Am I doing the right thing? I know I cannot fight against god's will... but I want Virginia back again in my arms..."
The road to the temple was hard, and inside he had to fight with three demons in order to finally reach the fabulous altar were he could claim Virginia's soul back from the beyond.
After having released Viginia's soul, Erik dedicated his life to the alchemy of life, the ancient spell to finally bring a dead body back to life...
Virginia's heart began to beat again...
The quest for eternal life is over and Erik can held his love again in his arms. ..
