Halkion

I am Halkion, and I am the seventh son of the sixth son of the fifth
son of the fourth son of the third son of the younger of two brother.
Their father was the primogen of a couple of wizards and was a wizard
as well, as all my other ancestors. My eighth son will be also a wizard
and he will close the circle.
Yes, I know what are you thinking... I do also not trust it but it is what once and again my three older sisters always repeat me I am. I also had three older brothers but they died young. This is because the prophecy, if we must trust my sisters, as it was written I must be the only male in the family. My children will be also females or they will die soon, but not the eighth. The eighth one will be a male and he will close the circle. And he will be a wizard. As you can imagine, if you growth without parents -my father disappeared when I was four years old and my mother died on my birth- and surrounded by three hysterical women that always repeat the same obscure fate, you finally resigns and nods to hers babblings. Anyways, and as i was supposed to be a wizard and had special hidden powers, I was always attracted by the tales of wizardry. Soon, one of my sisters told me about a strange character that, she believed, would become a great and important wizard. He was the child of Falucus and Alcorana, two famous sorceress of the long forgotten Academie Arcanus. When the time will come, told me my sister, you must approach this Vinnie guy, because he will unveil all the powers you have. Two Deochs later the Milethian guy, with his friend Larsius Vespers as regent, reopened the Academi and I was persuaded by my sister to be guided by Larsius in the arcane path. Soon, Veneficus -that is the new name the Milethian guy adopted- accepted to mentor me and this relation lasted many deoch, until my first travel to Kadath... but that maybe I can tell you another day. |
