SYNOPSIS:

Who are we, where do we come from and where are we going? These questions have been following human kind since we first started to look upon the stars in amazement and wonder. God, coincidence, or something else?
   One night a boy wakes up in his bed. The telephone is ringing. The unfamiliar voice tells him strange things and a sheep suddely appear in the living room. Strange things are definitly going on, especially since several sheep have suddely been disappearing and reappearing mysteriously on his uncle's farm. The boy believes that the strange events that took place that night were only a dream, but he will soon realize that they will change his life forever.
   Digging further and further into the mystery of the sheep abductions, the boy and his three friends find themselves facing frightening answers to questions asked for  centuries, and a destiny putting humanity in jeopardy.

Being new to the neighbourhood in Bageldon, Edrine has a hard time fitting in with the other kids.

(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.knegg.com%2Forigin%2Forigin-metal.png&hash=1f9a7e140f8a99748523698598a26fc812c2bed2)Metal: (playable character)
This hot-tempered young man just arrived in Bageldon to spend his summer vacation at his rich uncle's manor. He doesn't really care a whole lot about anything aside from his heavy metal records and his electric guitar. As he doesn't socialize easily with other kids, his uncle forces him to spend time with Stan and his friends and aid them in their quest. Even though his nature seems unpleasant, things dwelling beneath the tough surface may prove darker than any mystery.
Favoured weapon type: Sharp

Famous archeologist, rooted in the noble Bagel family that has been living in the Bagelshire area for hundreds of years. Lord Bagel is Metal's uncle and has always been completely obsessed with old artefacts. As he digs for an ancient tablet at a site near Bageldon, he is overwhelmed by strange agents in suits who snatch the tablet from him. As this only makes the mystery of the ancient tablets even more interesting he dedicates himself completely to cracking the code and solving the mystery. As his path crosses with that of Stan and his friends, they join forces in order to unveil secrets that are perhaps better lefte in peace.
