"My name is Speedy Star sir."
"I'm XiXi sir."
He looked at them curiously. Well since you've saved me I shall grant you one request, so what do you want?
The two of them discussed privately for a while before coming to a conclusion.
"We wish to know how you were trapped here."
"Well if that's your request I supposed I'm in no position to say no..."
The old man explained that he was once a legendary warrior whose strength was unparalleled, and he carved a bloody path through every battlefield he went to. He served an empire that had long since fallen, and one peaceful day the clouds darkened, and a portal from the Plane of Darkness descended.
It was frightening, hundreds of thousands of strange monsters flooded out of the portal swiftly surrounding the capital of his empire. The emperor sought his aid, and he agreed, bringing his greatsword to the battlefield he charged straight at the mob.
The old man described in relish how he, and his comrades had sliced through those strange monsters, and had actually pushed back the Plane of Darkness. They managed to push the monsters all the way to the border, and they held at the border for over a year. All seemed to be going well as the enemy army was slowly diminishing.
However one day, a small skirmish broke out at the border, but due to how common it was nobody paid attention to it, until the sky rumbled once more, and dark clouds blotted out the sun. Yet another portal had descended right on the border of the empire. This time millions of strange monsters flooded out, and they all had much stronger aura's than the last army. It was clear that this was their main force. As such the empire sought aid from various other kingdoms, and empires. They formed a coalition against the Plane of Darkness known as the Dark Resistor, and after many decades of hard fighting they managed to push the Plane of Darkness back to its own plane.
Only, during the last battle the Plane of Darkness sent out even more soldiers to replenish their ranks, and they nearly destroyed the allied army when Sam came in, and single handedly carved a path through the enemy army all the way to the commander of the army who faced Sam in a one on one fight.
Nobody interfered, and Sam barely managed to eke out against the enemy commander who had been slain, but what nobody expected was that just as the enemy commander's corpse fell to the ground, a massive spell circle was erected on top of him, and the allied coalition fought against Sam. All of the allied forces had banded against the empire that Sam served due to how shining he was, he could destroy the enemy army, so what if he destroyed their country?
As such the various allied forces came together, and tried to kill him. They failed miserably, but due to his weakened state he was forcefully sealed, and they destroyed the empire that he had vowed to protect. As the old man's story came to an end, he wiped a tear from his eye.
He explained that this current body was only a fragment of his body, apparently due to how strong he was, they couldn't just seal him so they separated him into 9 pieces, and sealed them away in many different locations.
"Now, my saviours, I have to ask you for a favour. Will you help me find, and unseal the rest of me?"
