Chapter 1: 20 Years Later
The Sun rose slowly on this cold yet nice Monday morning. The grass was wet with dew and the birds were chirpping while looking for the worms on which they fed on so early. Off in the distance in the Hilket Woods a young Tanthian was training with his Uncle so that he could master his deceased father's staff and sword.
"Swing faster" stated Zolan "move quickly now."
Zel swung the sword at his Uncle who parryed every swing and moved with grace as Zel tried to land a blow on his Uncles fake right arm. Zel stopped for just a second to catch his breath when his Uncle's shin got him in the gut.
"What the hell Uncle" Zel questioned "I was tring to catch my breath."
"Your enemies won't stop attacking so you can catch your breath" exclaimed Zolan "You are the Sage now, your father died to keep you and your mother alive and this is how you show him respect in training."
Zel was enraged but stopped and breathed in and out to calm himself down. He thought of his father standing on the hill meditating to prepare for training.
"Well get up and get in fighting stance" commanded Zolan.
"Fine" Zel said reluctanly.
For four more hours they trained. Of course by now they were just plain worn out and ready for breakfast.
"So Zolan how is my son's training comeing along" asked Zenna Zel's Mother.
"I give him two more weeks of training before he is a sword and staff master."
"Good that means he can go and start doing his Diplomatic trip around the planet"
"Mom I swear on myself I am absolutely positively not going on a Diplomatic trip to govern each city."
"Zenna let the boy do as he pleases as long as its legal"
"Ok Ok...So Zel how are you and Brooke doing."
"Mom stop questioning me about me and my girl friend plus I'm hanging out with Ian tonight."
"I wish you wont hang out with him he is a terrible influence on you."
"Mom he's been my friend for 15 years."
"I know I------
Zenna was cut short by a blast that destroyed the wall behind Zolan. When the smoke cleared Neil Morgenstern the Second walked up.
"Neil" said Zel "what the hell are you foing out of the Asylum."
"Isn't it obvious I'm here to kill you" declared Neil.
