Prophecy of the Immortal (story)

Elysse smiled slightly, though her eyes remained cold. "Yes. This is all true. But your knowledge is still incomplete. Allow me to recite to you the entire prophecy, translated from the old tongue to our own:

A blood red moon rises

and brings war in its

wake from all parts

of the world Uhdrea.

 

With the Immortal lies

the world's fate. With

his strength, his mind, and

his faith will he triumph.

 

His choice alone

will mark the way. No

other will force

his hand beyond his will.

 

Marks he does bear

to make certain his identity:

eyes of the green sea, a

bloody sword, a scaled chest.

 

He will need a band

of brave companions,

a path to walk,

and an ending to life.

 

For he brings with him

secrets and terror,

life and destruction,

an end to the war.

Stormdance (story)

This particular event happened in an ordinary house within the city. The house did not belong to anyone important. The couple who lived there were Xeldan and Aerana Stormdance. Their surname came from the only ancestor of any great interest Xeldan had. His great, great grandfather had been a battle wizard who had caused a storm to dance, mesmerizing the guards on watch at an enemy camp and allowing a few soldiers to sneak through and destroy the enemy's food supply. It had not been a great enough accomplishment for the wizard to earn any sort of noble status, but it gave him the title which became the surname for him and his descendants.
