-As a young adult, Erik is ready for adventure. His
sword skills are weak and his magic capabilities are null, but when his father
is murdered, he lashes out in furry towards the assassins. His thirst for vengeance
begins to subside after the first Crow is eliminated. Near the end of the
story, Erik realizes that without his companions none of his achievements would
have been possible, and that revenge is an absolute bitter sweet sorrow. His
abilities in magic become well tamed and his swordsmanship turns into a mastery
of the art.
-Through a series of flashbacks, readers learn of
the murder of the king during the first few chapters of the story. After the
murder, Erik sets out towards the burial site where his father is going to be
laid to rest. Their first stop is a city not far from the castle called Faroak.
In this city, Erik meets a young lady who he develops feelings for, but their
interactions with each other are brief and awkward. The next day Erik re-embarks
on his journey towards the burial grounds.
However, not long after him and a
few of his soldiers set out they are ambushed by a rogue mage group who
decimate the battalion, and kidnapped Erik then transported him out of Anfides
to an unknown land. While imprisoned, Erik meets a young mage, and together
they escape the prison. After a brief meeting with the young mage’s master who
ordered them to head west in secrecy until they reached the city of Gauls.
Here, Erik learns that he is gifted with the arcane arts and is trained to
harness the powers of the elements. However, the training is cut short after
the discovery of his whereabouts by the Crow. Even with his newfound powers, he
luckily escapes their grasp by holding them back with the help of his mage
companions. After the conflict, Erik realizes that his time is short, and that
he must train harder and faster than ever before to overcome his enemies, and
to enact revenge upon his father’s murder. Two fortnights later, the Crow
attack once again, but this time they somewhat prevail by injuring several of
the Margaine and by capturing Erik’s new found girlfriend. Erik chases the Crow
on a feeble pursuit to several different cities and even to the fort he was
previously imprisoned at to no avail. Sadly, during his travels, Erik hears of
the destruction of Faroak and of the newly appointed king, however, Erik soon
learns that Faroak was never actually destroyed, but only raided by bandits. Eventually, Erik discovers the location of his
girlfriend yet the reunion did not last long. In front of his very eyes, she is
decapitated by the Crow leader. Driven by anger, vengeance, and pride, Erik
strikes at the leader of the Crow with all of his might. Alone, he was no match
and this proved so. However, after nearing defeat, the leader of the Margaine
and several others of his mage allies appear. In an uproar, the entire building
shook with battle cries and incantations, Erik lurched forward with his blade,
and went to strike the leader of the Crow in the forehead ending the battle,
but in doing so, he put himself in grave danger and distracts the Margaine Grandmaster, a fatal
mistake. Almost immediately, the second in command of the Margaine grabs Erik
by the arm and transports him outside of the fort than orders him to find Jason
in Faroak to inform him of the news About a month later Jason is joyous to see
the return of his best friend, and greets him like a brother then introduces
him to his girlfriend. The discovery of who Jason was with disheartens Erik,
but he does not let it show nor does he share with either of them the
destruction of his short lived love instead he congratulates them. However,
Erik’s visit is a grave one for he carries the news of the Margaine’s defeat,
and the death of the Grandmaster. Jason is very wounded by the news, but
together they bend their sorrow into fuel for him to train harder so that he
along with Jason can defeat the Crow. After months of training and several
trips to different cities, Jason and his friend confront the Crow in a very
gruesome battle. Only with the grace of the makers and the betrayal of the
Crow’s lackey did they succeed in destroying the Grandmaster of the Crow. A few
nights after the battle, Erik realizes that he is just now about to begin on
his true journey. Even though his body is filled with satisfaction for the
victory against the Crow, his heart still yearns for something more.
Jason Goms
-As an orphan child, Jason traveled from town to
town until he met up with a rogue mage group called the Margaine who took him
in as an apprentice, however, all fell short when the Crow killed his master
forcing him on a path of destruction.
-He wishes for a family, and to one day settle down
in the small town of Faroak.
-There is an ongoing war between the Crow and the
Margaine. Inevitably, one side must win. Until then, Jason must fight until
either he lies dead or victorious.
-As a child, Jason learned how to become
self-supportive. This led to him being more solitude when around others.
Nearing death several times eventually changes his stance on being independent.
Jason learns that without the help of his companions, his family, that he would
have died a long time ago.
-Jason is introduced while Erik is imprisoned by the
Crow. For a long while he had been drugged, but the potency of the poison is
questionable and has already almost worn off. Next to him lies a very familiar
fellow who he eventually recognizes as the prince of Anfides. Together they
plot their escape which ends in success. After their escape from imprisonment,
Jason and his new friend travel to Gaul, a large city on the outskirts of
Anfides where the Margaine are secretly located. However, after the discovery
of Erik’s magical powers, Jason is sent on a mission to Faroak to spy on the
newly appointed king. While in Faroak, Jason meets a young girl who he quickly
falls in love with, but she is hesitant to his advances, but soon she agrees to
the relationship. Not long after they hitched, the girl reveals her past to
Jason which surprises him greatly, but he accepts her past. All is quiet for a
while except a few conversations that peaked interest. About a month later
Jason is joyous to see the return of his best friend, and greets him like a
brother then introduces him to his girlfriend. The discovery of who Jason was
with disheartens Erik, but he does not let show instead he congratulates them.
