Darius Quill wakes up one day in a dungeon cell, not knowing the reason for him being there. His parents dead, his sister sold, and his house burned down, Darius doesn't believe he will ever be happy again. All he has left of his old life is a black metal token on a chain around his neck.

Then he meets Elric, the so-called wizard who claims he can do magic. To trust, or not to trust? Darius must choose between the two, a choice that could make him, or break him.
