gather 'round the hearth.....sit comfortably and brace thyself for a Saga of Ancient Ages and Days gone by.............let the warmth of the crackling, flickering, low flames of the stone fireplace coax the chill from your weary bones........you young ones may wish to group closer to an Elder as you prepare to listen to this tale of Darkness, Danger, Determination and yes, believe it or not, Delight..........for no True Story is complete without an happy ending, but woe to those who are easily solaced by such sweet and seductive words so readily offered before the cover of the dusty, cobweb laden Antiquarian Tome has even been laid open........... it was, as the calender of the Gregors records........those sworn to a life of solitude and silence.........those astute and learned scholars who spoke only with quill and ink, illumined scriptures, venerable as the Bede....813 Anno Domini~.........and in a small and relatively unknown village haply nomened Ulster, not far North of the Border known as Hadrian's Wall, a birth was taking place...........the Midwives of the Middle Ages were as skilled as any of other days........past present and future, but what happened during the blessed delivery on this cold, grey, dank, dreary and gloomy late afternoon was beyond the skill of even the most noble of midwives.......the catastrophe which befell this moment of new life was not her fault................twins were being born............Antressa, the first, and Delicretia, the second to emerge into this realm beneath the clover, were both gasping their first breaths of chilly autumn air and yelping in the shock of being newly from the womb when the Raid began...............Zorph, the Evil Wizard of Degradoom had plans for the twins............for he knew of what even their own kinsman were unaware..............the Mystical Powers possessed by these beings were known to only one other..........one other only, than Zorph, had read the Signs and visioned the Prophecy...........but Valley, as she was called by those who weren't privy to her True Title, had enough to contend with where her troubles lay on that unfortunate day..........as much as she knew she needed to be in Ulster that fated eventime, she was, alas, unable to rush to save Antressa and Delicretia.........a terrible blight had ensued in the Cypress Gardens of her homeland.............mites..........mites the size of rats had infested the ears of all her people and their cries for help were the cause of her tardiness when Zorph laid siege upon Ulster..............the midwife, Ellessy, had, by means of a trap door beneath the humble dwelling of her patients, managed to save Antressa from the Evil Zorph, but Delicretia, he was to have..............with her, he knew, it would be but a matter of time before his Snarrdauh minions would, at his relentless behest, locate her sister............but this time, Valley would not be late...............when the sky darkens and the seaswells bloom, Thor's Hammer breaks the silence with shockwave after shockwave .......the mountains tremble and quake and every living creature under the stars seeks out refuge in any haunt they can scamper to, you know that the Sage Magic of two of the Greatest Sorcery has ever produced are squaring off for what is sure to end in either disaster or salvation.............. no ordinary wielder of spells would dare sputter the least incantation on a night like this............~~ ah, but Woo Chan Xin would feign chastise me for the telling of a climax without a proper schooling in the background, history and legacy of our Heroine's People.......... Antressa's kin were much akin to the Levites, this Clan of Ulster..........drawing support from other Clans yet without any acreage of their own.....in this manner a certain symbiosis was maintained which assured transfer of Code as well as Skilled Labor.................................the five senses..........and Magic.........the beginning ......yes, Antressa's People excelled at Magic ~* next page begins, click here~~* |
