Chapter 1
The Princess and the Forest Boy

There once lived a wizard by the name of Dave Radium. Long ago he and his brother, Astoroth, escorted a group of Vanamersfortian soldiers back to their home city. On the way hey passed through the infamous Mine of Wairo. There they found the seven Elemental Swords, which legends said each controlled one different element of nature. That was only the beginning. They soon each began to control the power that lay dormant within the swords, but Astoroth let the darkness within his blade control and use him. As such it forced him to build an army of orcs to destroy the entire world. Dave was the only one who could stop him, and he did.

Many years passed and Dave aged, but due to the influence of his magic and elf friends he was now immortal. He faced many more enemies, such as the mighty demon, Lord Doom, the vampire lord, Yujo, and the android terror, Atomic. They each came and fell with great difficulty.

Eventually Dave grew tired of battles and retired to a small cabin in Death Woods, where years later he would meet a young wizard named Rai Radium, who happened to be his descendent. Dave taught Rai all he knew, but one day he had to face Lord Doom again. Dave lost and with his dying breath passed on the Sword of Light to Rai. But, he also passed on something else: the Cosmos Crystal of Light. Its power combined with the swords allowed Rai to destroy Lord Doom's body, but not his soul.

About almost two decades later Lord Doom returned, this time through the use of cybernetic technology. He was now a cyborg, more powerful that ever before. He had Rai killed, but he hadn't counted on Rai's son, Jr. He defeated Lord Doom, this time for good.

Rai also defeated Yujo. This came about with the help of his friends, and the Eiko power of Trance. Atomic was the next on his list, but this only happened because of the power of Rage. He also defeated the ice demon, Icicle, and the evil eiko warrior, Chaos Restrictor, who in turn was out to kill him to avenge the death of his little brother, Alatair. After that he lived happily with his family and it seemed that would be the end of the story, but in truth it was only the beginning.
