Summary
While Zarok the Sorcerer continues resurrecting the dead for his evil purpose, an ancient warrior begins to stir within his crypt. As the life-giving energy seeps into his bones and shakes him awake, he remembers the inglorious final moments of his life.
A hundred years ago, he stood at the forefront of Gallowmere's militia and charged into battle against Zarok himself. From atop his throne, the sly sorcerer ordered his troops to fire. Unfortunately for the warrior, he was struck in the eye by the very first arrow and died instantly.
He sits up from his slab and removes the cobweb from his eyeless eye socket. He smiles, knowing this is his chance to set things right. Sir Daniel Fortesque can finally live up to his legend. And so, his journey begins...
