Chapter 3

Some other races and villages may have cast Aoirse out, but not Arpor. While
they did not want a necromancer like the dead magi in the barn, they might
have been willing to accept someone with magic powers and some other
types of sorcerer. From that day in the barn forward, Aoirse was different.
he knew he could never be a farmer like his parents. He knew he was destined
for more ambitious pursuits and he had a strong desire to be greater, to
achieve power, to achieve respect in not just this village but in the whole world.
He had a unyielding desire to use this power he had within him to better the world
and whatever Aoirse set his mind to he had a fiercely drive desire to win.

Aoirse may have become that great sorcerer if not for one of the most respected
village warriors, Parlit. Parlit had traveled the world over several times and he
had been the biggest toughest warrior that had killed the magi. After what Parlit
saw in the barn that night, he made it a point to look after Aoirse. Parlit told
Aoirse that he was retired from the mighty battleragers. Aoirse had never heard
of them but soon found out they were a motley crew of warriors, thieves, rangers,
and bards that had banned together a long time out to rid magic from
Thera. Parlit indicated that Aoirse could do much in this war against magic. Magic
he said is an unnatural force that has existing in Thera for a long long time. Parlit
took the next 50 years and convinced Aoirse that magic was the reason for the worlds
problems. Aoirse learned that Parlit retired because after years of fighting
magic was no closer to being destroyed. Despite all of the efforts from Captain Boltthrower
to the present, magic just passed for one dead magi to the next born magi. Parlit
Aoirse that he could be different as Aoirse had the power to absorb and
devour magic. He could rid the world of it once and for all. Parlit said with each
magi killed the magical power would absorb into Aoirse if the he, the conduit, was near
when the magi died and even more so if he Aoirse killed the magi himself.
