When Jon woke up in the morning, his home was in flames. He quickly ran outside, where he saw that the whole suburb was burning down. Ugly green men ran around in small packs, slaughtering hapless residents. Every time Jon saw one of those groups, he ran away in the opposite direction. After about an hour of running and hiding, he made it to where a park used to be. A large temple was standing in its place. Steve Farber and Mike Matthews, a couple of members of the high school football team, were putting up a valiant defense, but were surrounded by the green men. Mike killed three of them before being his throat torn open. Steve finished off the other four, but received a stab wound for his troubles, straight through the stomach. Jon watched as he slumped down and died.
A man walked out of the temple. It was Father Roberts, the local Catholic priest. Roberts looked down at the corpses at the foot of the entrance-way, then shifted his gaze straight at Jon's hiding place behind a tree. "Boy, come here."
Jon did as he was told, approaching Roberts. "Father... what happened here?"
"Argonak's goblin hordes attacked. Ever since he managed to unify the tribes of Dark Ones, they've managed to encroach on human territory. This attack was targeted. Argonak was most likely trying to kill our priestess, Lucky he hasn't found her.
He Then Looked At Jon closely For a Second, "By the Light!" He exclaimed, "No Wonder none of the Girl's Born Recently bore the mark or a priestess, It wasn't a girl... It is You!"
"Wait... What? I'm no priestess...."
"You May not Know it, but its True, I can see inside you, and You are definitely This Generation's Priestess, Do You have a birth mark on your side...
"uhh... Yeah... It Sort of Looks like the sun."
"That's the mark of the Priestess. Come, We have much to Do And You have a Long journey ahead of you.
Jon had no idea what he had to do, but he was getting a better idea of what was going on. The whole idea of his home burning down, the temple, the goblin attacks... this was all reminiscent of themes that popped up all the time in the video games he played. It looked like This Guy thought he was some sort of Priestess, he had to be mistaken, but he had no better option than to follow the guy for now
Father roberts Asked him as he followed him in towards the Temple, "You know of The Priestess's Quest yes?"
"Quest... I... uhhh, no not really."
Roberts narrowed his eyes, and snorted. "Onda's Light, child, do they teach you nothing these days? It's been prophesied that a priestess of the light and her guardian would pray at the altars of fire, water, wind, earth, Light, And Darkness, before the dark king's hordes would fall. This is the temple of light, and we have been searching for a long time for the Priestess to take this Journey, and one by one, all Girl's that came were not the Priestess, Nearly all Hope was Lost when The Horde started to attack. But Just when All Hope was Lost, You appeared, The Priestess The World Needs. All You need to Do is Pray at All 6 Alters, and it should Purify the world sending Argonak back to whence he came.
A traveling priestess visiting a bunch of elemental altars. Yet another trope that commonly appeared. Final Fantasy X, Tales of Symphonia... this sort of thing happened all the time in his video games.
Roberts Led Jon into the Temple and to an elaborate looking Alter, and showed Jon how to pray to it, Jon hoped that After praying to it, and being unsucessful that Roberts would realize he was mistaken, and Jon wasn't a Priestess So he Prayed to the Alter.
And As He did So he felt Something strange, and realized something else, That He really was the Priestess...
