Arabal traveled the lands for much of his adult life, seeking and destroying many of the evils of the world with his mysterious shining fist. Some of his most notable accomplishments were the destruction of the Demon Queen, Borlexa and turning the tide in the War of Six Spears. He eventually retired to the seclusion of the Gorgekia Summit where he taught new heroes the lesson of his adventures. However it was never his fate to discover the truth behind his power and it's terrible origins. Perhaps the next in the cycle of reincarnation would break it.

Arabal met Fyernok eyes as he cursed and mourned. It was not the first he heard of the past use of his powers. What little he had gathered was his light reincarnated from generation to generation, leaving a legacy of greatness and a wealth of enemies. Regardless the vampire left him little time to discuss the matter.
"If you know my light, you know your darkness can't best it!"
Arabal shot out his fist as the vampire decended from above, sending a shimmer that highlighted the trees and stars above. But the forest protected Fyernok, the light forcibly bending around him. The vampire bit into the young monks neck. Despite his anger-fueled ferocity, the fangs didn't pierce the skin. Arabal struck the monster repeatedly to the gut until it released him, showing the sear of the monks punches. With a blow to the face, Fyernok turned to dust.
That's when the forest itself erupted.
"So it was you that tried to protect that creature!" Arabal turned. Then turned again. It was all around him. No. It was the woods itself that sought vengeance!
The leaves whirled and withered, emitting a scent of death. Suddenly, they lashed out him, but as the vampire could not pierce his skin before, neither could the leaves. But how could Arabal fight the woods itself?
He left seeking the power to change that.

Arabal seeks the greatest of foes to test his Shining Fist on, a mysterious power for which he naturally had a birth. He has always had a strong desire to destroy the darker forces of the world not only to test his mettle, but to prevent others from suffering a worse fate. With that in mind Arabal seeks the more dangerous Haunted Woodlands not out of foolishness but to help rid the forest of the evil within.
None of the threats, be it death-touching insects, poisonous mosquitoes, nor a pair of trolls could overcome the fierce aura of Arabal's fist. It's light forced them aside and left him to pass unscathed.
