Roderique loved growing up on his father’s farm; he would dream of far-off lands like most young men. Roderique’s older brother Louis was a Catholic priest, making their Mother so proud. Roderique knew that his brother wanted him gone so he could inherit the farm and land. As brothers, they never got along. Louis was always jealous and would go out of his way to cause trouble for his younger brother. Roderique knew what his brother was like and never trusted Louis. So when Louis came to him about going out into the world looking for treasure the Church had lost or stolen, Roderique was skeptical about the offer. Louis was desperate for his brother to leave, and Roderique knew he would take the offer. The year was 1475 when Roderique, with his old mare, left his father’s farm. France was a dangerous land then, and Roderique knew he would have to be careful on this quest. Following clues left in the ruins of the Barberie Cathedral, Roderique finds his way to a dark fortress on top of Mount Bezu. Breaking into the fortress, Roderique makes his camp, knowing he will be in the fortress for days so he can find all he was sent on the quest for. Rene had spent so many centuries waiting for the legend of the young man to come true; when he first heard a horse, Rene thought he was going mad; then he wondered if a spirit could go mad. Rene befriended Roderique, he watched as the young man picked up the golden cross. Rene and his brothers wept as the spike from the cross punctured Roderique’s flesh. They knew the pain it would cause. The brothers of the knights of Sionis knew they had a new brother. Their new brother would live for over five hundred years to keep the treasure safe. When Roderique woke up on the third day, he knew the real Quest had started.
