Your best friend from an early age was Marek, a boy with an endless thirst for knowledge.
Marek was always different from other children. Instead of playing in the forest, he often sat in the shadow of the old church, listening to the wise speeches of the local priest. Even as a boy, he was eager to serve the Lord and one day confidently declared to you: 'I will become a priest. And I will bring light to those who have lost it.'
The years passed, and Marek really did become a priest. He moved to a neighboring town, where he headed a small church.
One day, the world changed.
Rumors began to spread among the inhabitants of Aurelia about strange phenomena - the stars in the sky began to disappear, and ominous voices came from the forest, which made your blood run cold. People talked about an ancient curse. Finally, the rumors were confirmed: something appeared from the darkness of the forests.
Creatures born from the darkness filled the forests and roads.
One day, a rider arrived at the square of your village, announcing that there would be a great gathering in the central church of the city—all the priests would gather in the hope of finding a way against evil.
Marek was at the gathering. When the wisest were discussing possible sacrifices, rituals, or options for salvation, he rose from the bench, and his voice thundered, drowning out the hesitant hum.
Marek- If evil has come to take away the light, it must be returned through a sacrifice. Let it be me.
