IT WAS A DAY WHEN THE FORCES OF EVIL TRIUMPHED OVER THOSE OF GOOD.

NARRATOR

DEEP IN THE DEPTHS OF DIYU. THIS PARTICULAR LEVEL IS RULED BY THE DEMON YAO MO JIN

YAO MO JIN

How I miss the warring states period. Such Upheaval. Rife with unparalleled DEATH and DESTRUCTION.

For them it was an enternity ago. For a GOD such as me time has no meaning! Except when I summon you, it should be instant or find yourself eternally damned!

You OUGHT to have good news.

CLOAKED FIGURE

A thousand PARDONS master. Please Forgive me. I am your most humble servant. I have not been able to steal away till now.

However I bring you news of the BOY.

YAO MO JIN

Then good news it is. tell me more...

CLOAKED FIGURE

Everything progresses as planned master. the boy is learning quickly and he will soon be ready to accept his birthright as your CHOSEN ONE.

He fights with such spirit. but he is headstrong and foolhardy. he will be easily swayed to your side.

Soon he will follow your every command.

YAO MO JIN

For your sake, the boy better!

Continue looking after the boy and prepare him. When THAT time approaches have him set out on a journey that will test the limits of his very soul!

For this is his destiny and mine as well, fate has interwoven us.

His journey will lead him to me and when he faces me, I will BREAK him and he will follow...

Or he will die!

C'mon boy come for your prize

Try and take it if you can!

...I'll be waiting...

CHINA

1851 A.D.

FUJIAN PROVINCE

NARRATOR

FUJIAN TEMPLE

NARRATOR

IT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR, FIVE AGAINST ONE.

HOWEVER, ONE SHOULD ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THE FIRST RULE IN COMBAT, TO NEVER UNDERESTIMATE.

SHANG

ATTACK!

NARRATOR

THIS IS JIN HU, HE HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE.

HE EMPTIES HIS MIND AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO MOVE IN SLOW MOTION.

TIME STANDS STILL...

HE REACTS WITH EXTRAORDINARY POWER, SPEED AND AGILITY. NOT UNLIKE A WILD TIGER.

HIS OPPONENTS NEVER EVEN HAD A CHANCE.

ONE BY ONE THEY FALL LIKE BLADES OF GRASS KNOCKED OVER BY THE WIND.

WHOOSH

NARRATOR

EVERY MOVE IS SWIFT AND PURPOSEFUL.

KRAAK

WHAP

HE HAS ADVANCED QUICKER THAN ANY OTHER STUDENT AT FUJIAN TEMPLE.

BUT IS HE STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPLETE HIS DESTINY?

NARRATOR

WILL HE BE OUR SALVATION?.

...OR THE HARBRINGER OF OUR SHEER AND UTTER FINAL DESTRUCTION?

SHANG

STOP!!!

ENOUGH. Well done! Come Jin Hu walk with me.

You have come a long way, but i know that you are still troubled by the questions of your past.

Your shoulders are heavy with that weight, while that anger of yours consumes you Jin Hu.

If you do not confront and purge these inner demons, i fear they will consume you as well.

You will be swallowed by the very darkness that surrounds you.

You are young, headstrong and consider yourself invincible.

JIN HU

Yes, master Shang there is no one here that can defeat me. I am the strongest one here in fujian temple.

SHANG

You can use that to your advantage, however it can also be to the detriment.

For one of such few years, you have lost much. This lost however has also made you the man that you are today.

Let us resume your training. Concentrate. Do you remember?

JIN HU

...yes...

NARRATOR

JUST LIKE THAT THE MEMORIES QUICKLY COME FLOODING BACK.

THEY FILL HIS HEAD WITH THE PAIN OF THE PAST.

IT'S THE BIRTH OF YET ANOTHER PARENTLESS CHILD FORCED TO DEAL WITH A HARSH AND CRUEL WORLD EVEN AS THE CHILD TAKES ITS FIRST BREATH.

LEFT ON THE DOORSTEP OF AN ORPHANAGE, ALWAYS ALONE NO MATTER HOW MANY OTHERS WERE AROUND HIM.

NARRATOR

BESET ON ALL SIDES BY NIGHTMARISH CREATURES AND OTHERWORLDLY THERRORS.

GHOSTS, DEMONS AND WRAITHS HAUNTING EVERY WAKING AND SLEEPING MOMENT.

SO MUCH PAIN, SO MUCH HATRED FOR ONE SO YOUNG TO ENDURE.

WHETHER REAL OR IMAGINED, IT ALL HELPED TO TEMPER HIM TO HIS COLD REALITY.

THE MEMORIES OF THE MASSACRE AT HIS ORPHANAGE ARE TOO REAL. THEY BURN WITH EVERY THOUGHT.

NARRATOR

THEN A MOMENT, FROZEN IN TIME. FROM THE DESTRUCTION CAME SOMETHING GOOD.

CARRIED AWAY TO A PLACE THAT WOULD BECOME SOMETHING THAT HE HAD NEVER KNOWN A HOME.

THE TERRORS AND NIGHTMARES FADED AND FOR THE FIRST TIMEHE WAS ABLE TO SLEEP PEACEFULLY.

THEN CAME THE TRAINING AND THE LIGHT GREW STRONGER WITHIN HIM. THE DISCIPLINE HELPED PUSH THE DARKNESS BACK, BUT HOW FAR AND FOR HOW LONG?

AND THEN JUST AS QUICKLY AS THE MEMORIES CAME, THEY WERE GONE.

JIN HU

This is such a strange time for me master Shang. I am pulled in so many directions.

The fire in my spirit longs for adventure and excitement even though my future remains clouded.

However I will do my best to bring praise to the temple and spread your teachings.

SHANG

There is nothing more that I can teach you. The rest is up to you. Stay focused. Life reveals itself on its own time. You are my son and I will always be here for you.

Your greatest battles lay ahead. May the gods lead you on your journey.

SHANG

Your DESTINY awaits.

JIN HU

I will make you proud.

NARRATOR

AND SO, THE LONGEST JOURNEY BEGINS...

... BUT WITH A SINGLE STEP.
