Chapter 1

Tam was born in a mountain valley in the far east across the
endless ocean. The first ones they had called themselves. His
ancestors had traveled in an exodus from the disasters behind
them, out of that bewitched tower and through the swamps south
into the mountains. Here in this cosey valley they stopped in
wooded dale surrounded by large mountains. The ancients of fire
belching smoke, ash and sometimes fire from the summit to the
west. His was a wild yet happy life in early childhood as he
roamed the forests and nearby rocks learning the land as his
elders instructed. His family was complacent. Living simply
in barter from their crafts and content. To them Tam seemed
unmanageable. Tam thought he was just what he ought, he was
wild and free.
