Role

Chapter 1

The rain hits hard on the houses roof, as you appear to stand in the entry
way to a kitchen looking in on a husband and his wife sitting at the table.
You are not sure how you got here or why the dark-elf couple have not noticed
you or chased you out, so you move closer. Suddenly a child comes running
down the hallway towards you from the front of the house. You know that you
cant dodge him, they are going to find you in their home and run you out if
not kill you. Just before you try to yell to tell them you dont know how
you got there, the kid runs right through you. You know this must be a memory
of the past.

You stand there and watch as the couple argue with each other and what
appears to be a dark figure hidden in the darkness of the corner. Its hard
to make out what they are saying at first, but slowly becomes clear. They
are fighting over their child.

As you continue to listen, you learn how the child was found to have a
natural ability to control the dead. It started with rodents and moved to
small animals. The third figure has offered the couple the chance for him to
take the child away from them and train him. Not so much and offer as a
statement of what is going to happen. He tells them that the child will not
be a slave, and he will also no longer be the weak and picked on dark-elf he
currently is. His power will grow with time and he will find his place in
Thera whatever he wants that to be. Knowing that they have very little
choice left with them, the parents must let him go, likely never to see him
again.

The air around you swirls around and settles again, revealing a scene years
later that than when you were in the house. The smell of death hangs in the
air, of the graveyard you now find yourself in. The child now a young adult,
is before you weaving his magic around in an exercise of practice. Moments
later the dark figure that took the child from his home, walks in and places
his hand on the dark-elfs shoulder. Listening closely to the conversation,
you hear the figure tell Akageaiad, it is time he ventures out and use his
magic to bring death to those that need it, to build a name for himself and
create the lasting impression on the world that he was meant to.
