The ancient evil had grown tired of waiting for its kings to take over the world and had begun issuing forth terrible beasts into the land of Verdite to feed on the souls of the citizens. Too young to join the garrison, John Alfred had been forced to watch his father leave to fight the forces of evil within the Royal Cemetery in Verdite.
This delighted Vallad beyond imagination! He continued to watch as John Alfred grew to surpass even his father's skill as a master swordsman. Vallad watched over John Alfred carefully as he grew from a baby into the eager boy whose only desire, it seemed, was to learn from his father, Swordmaster Houser, the art of swordsplay. The first and only line of Valicia to posses this power. A son which allowed Vallad to witness the birth of light into the world! John Alfred Forester was born with the magical power of light. It was this fact that bore into the world a son to Zoela and Houser Forester. She did, however, carry the magic of the clan within her blood. However one descendent of the line, Zoela Reinhardt, had been so removed from the pure blood that she had no malice within her.

The Royal Family of Verdite had long been a clan of evil magic, no doubt the embodiment of ancient evil which lay recovering and biding its time beneath Verdite.
