ArmorQuest: Genesis

(Alias, 2005)

Despite his humble peasant background, young Timothy’s life is destined for greatness. Unfortunately, it’s also plagued by dragons. As a child, his father was killed by one, the details shrouded in mystery. Years later, another dragon terrorized his village, the life of a knight the price of it’s defeat. Timothy, as amazed as he was confused, received the slain hero’s sword. Barely a year later, Eagle Riders battle yet more dragons in the skies near Timothy’s home. When he realizes a fallen, wounded dragon still endangers his village, Timothy bravely (and perhaps foolishly) sets forth to finish the beast. After all, he thinks, if not me, then who?

With those five prophetic words, Timothy embraces his destiny, and soon after leaves his familiar life behind. Joined by two wayward warriors and armed with magical weapons he doesn’t understand, he begins his quest to join the Knights of the Way.
