| - The Hero starts as a poor orphan living with his/her (the player can choose to be a boy or a girl) older sister, Rose. Going to see what all the noise is about that morning, they find a man named Murgo, who is a trader selling "magical" items from his cart (most of which are frauds, as he sold a magical mirror which would make the owner appear beautiful in it but would only work in complete darkness). They are especially fascinated by a music box that, by turning the handle three times, will "grant the user one wish". However, the Hero's sister doesn’t think it will work. An old woman appears and expresses her disappointment that some kids don't even believe in magic. (It is possible that Rose does believe; however, she would rather spend gold on food than magical objects that most likely aren't even real). The woman encourages the two to earn five gold to buy the music box, as they will never know if it does grant wishes if they don't try. They spend the whole day earning the gold needed to buy the music box, and then Rose make her wish to live in a castle (inwardly), at which point the box starts to play a tune from Fable, glow and spin, all with increasing intensity, until it disappears. Disappointed, they return to their make-shift shelter, and find the dog they saved from a bully during their quest to earn 5 gold. Late that night they find that some guards want to take them to Fairfax Castle, and they instantly agree. There they meet Lord Lucien in his study, who tells them that if they help him with something, he can arrange for them to live in the castle. He tells them to stand on a platform on the floor bearing a strange symbol (the crest of the Heroes Guild), and when they do, it shines and forms a blue barrier around them. After seeing this, Lucien states that they are Heroes and tries to touch the barrier, which turns red. Surprised, he goes to the table and reads through one of his books. He states that they are Heroes, but none any of the three he needs; instead, one of them is the fourth. Stumped, Rose asks what's happening. Lucien gets a gun from one of his drawers and says: "This isn't what I wanted -- but nothing must stand in my way.". He then shoots the Hero's sister, who falls to the ground motionless. Turning to the Hero he says: "I can't allow you to live either. I'm Sorry." and shoots the Hero, who falls out through the window of the tower. The Hero survives the fall and is found by Theresa, the old blind woman that spoke to Rose near the trader's wagon, and the dog. "Lucien disappeared from Castle Fairfax that night, certain that those who might stand in his way were dead. But some grief is so great, even death may keep its distance. And so the boy/girl survived. Days later, far from the dark alleys of Bowerstone, life slowly returned to his/her small, broken body. The boy/girl awoke to a familiar face watching over a strange bed. He/She reached out for the comfort of the dog's warm fur, ready to take his/her first steps in a new life. Ten winters blanketed Albion, ten summers filled the air with the sounds of insects and laughter. With time, the boy's/girl's pain turned to strength. His/Her grief became will. A will to change the world. And to avenge the death that still haunted his/her every dream." — Theresa as the Narrator
