When the Warrior discovered his missing family, he fell into a desperate rage, ravaging everything in search of them.
During this search, he found the Wizard, in the form of someone he trusted. He asked the Wizard if he knew what became of the Warrior's family. The Wizard pointed in the direction of a cave nearby, one that held a mysterious gate. The Wizard said that the kidnapper threw the Warrior's family into the gate, into a land of utter chaos. Immediately the Warrior set into the cave, and through the gate.
It was in that land that he met a dragon. The Warrior asked the dragon if he had seen a human woman and child in all this chaos. When the dragon, none of which can tell a lie, said that no woman and child had been here in 100 years, the Warrior realized he'd been tricked...
