Grabbing a torch, the Baker took the young lad to the attic of his bakery. "Alex- what I am about to show you, it is an imporant piece of the past. A past... which you were never to know. A past, about your father!"

"About my father? But... what do you know about him? My mother says he never came to Cloudland with her. How would you even know him?"

"Alex, none of us were here to start with. We were all brought here, by none other than your father. Years ago, we lived a life of peace and prosperity back in the Overworld, but something happened. Something dark and deadly. The Black Knights- a group of ancient warriors knew we had found a relic of great power which would allow them to become immortal and rule the world for an eternity. Your father was a hero- he fought of the Knights while we fled through the Portal to this world in the sky. The Knights were stranded in the Overworld with nothing left to rule."

"But, but... how is that related to what's happening today? What is exactly going on, Mr. Baker?"

"Somehow, they have managed to track us down. And if they get their hands on this relic... the Blackstone, terror will be unleashed upon us! This is why, I want to give you this. Your father wanted you to have this. Wanted you to become a warrior." The Baker said with a solemn look on his face, as he opened a chest and handed Alex what was inside it. "This sword is the very weapon your father used ages ago to fight the Black Knights. Alex, you have to step up today. Only you can save us all."

"I can't save you all! I... I can't. I don't have any experience. I'm just a boy, what do you think I can do?"

"Jump!" shouted the Baker as he pushed Alex out of the window. As he fell, the Bakery behind him burst into a thousand blocks covered with thick, black vapours. The Baker fell onto the wooden floor below with a loud thud. Getting up almost immediately, young Alex rushed to his aide. "It's too late... for me, son. But not for you. You can do much more than you know. I believe in you. Go!" He shouted as the vapors slowly began to take form. "To the Castle! Qui~" His voice was cut off as he was relentlessly stabbed by one of the vapory figures.

Alex ran again, as he had done before. Only this time, he ran for his life.
