The world's most famous artist died in slow and painful obscurity.
At the time, nobody knew him except for Paul Gaugin and the handful of women who rejected his love.
A self-inflicted gunshot to the stomach was finally taking his lonely life.
His labored breathing receded into a deep pneumonic whisper.
Now, strange things started to appear: neon vortices and spirals of light and painted galaxies and golden fields and crows, oh so many crows.
Today, he lives on in a billion copies and reproductions and consumer products that bare his sanity-costing genius.
Everyone knows who Van Gogh is.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.

The Dance of the Elements
In the heart of the ancient forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the rivers sang songs of old, there existed a place untouched by time. It was here that the four elements - Earth, Water, Air, and Fire - held sway, each vying for dominance in a never-ending dance of power.
