Of Song and Shadow

So, there I was a just minding my own business and having a drink at a local watering hole, when this strange woman approaches me, begging for help.Ive never seen this woman in my life. I have no idea who she is.If shes to be believed, she doesnt know who she is, either. Nor does she know where she came from, or exactly why it is she needs my help.She sure as heck knows who I am, though. She knows that Im the Blade Mage.It only gets weirder.Before I can figure out what to do, the shadows come to life and attack. It isnt me they want, but this strange woman.My every instinct screams that I should run away. But a I am the Blade Mage.Ive no choice but to help, but there are powers after this woman that I am helpless to stand against. It doesnt look like Ill be the Blade Mage for long.
