Fable II - Xbox 360

The game begins in the city of Bowerstone, where the protagonist, a young child known as Sparrow, lives in poverty with his/her older sister, Rose, and dreams about living in Castle Fairfax, the home of Lord Lucien. Their dreams are cut short when they hear a commotion at the market. A man known as Mystical Murgo is selling 'magical' wares and a magic box that grants a wish. Convinced by an old woman named Theresa, Sparrow and Rose decide to collect the five coins required for the box by completing jobs. During this time, they save a dog, which later takes up residence with them. When they finally collect the money needed, they buy the box and wish to live in Castle Fairfax. However, the box disappears in a flash of light, seemingly having failed to work.

In the middle of the night, they are awakened by a guard, who escorts them to Castle Fairfax on Lucien's order. Overjoyed at their wish coming true, the two follow eagerly. After meeting Lucien and telling him of the box, he asks them to step in a circle on the floor, which emits a blue light but turns red, to Lucien's anger, upon his touch. Proclaiming that they are not any of the three "Heroes" he is seeking, and one of them is a fourth Hero, he kills Rose and wounds Sparrow, who falls out of a window. Upon waking up, Sparrow learns that they survived the fall due to their heroic line, and was rescued by Theresa and the dog.
