Chapter one. The happenings
"It has happened again." Said Jay, a fourteen year old red haired boy with gray eyes. A council of Oramis, Soro, and Brom had been listening to Jay's report.
"Who was it this time?" Oramis asked in a sad tone. He was a old man with s medium length silver beard and hair.
" John." Jay said flatly, "I suspect it was poison. As that and magic are the only possible causes of death, and mages are increasingly rare now, but we should have Will inspect the body when he gets back, just to be safe.
"We have to find this assassins." Brom said, he looked as old as Oramis but no one knew his real age, but he was obviously very old. "This is the seventh time it's happened in a month, and all important civilian leaders and now one of our last mages."
How do you think we should go about that Brom? Soro said, she was young, with short brown hair girl with blue eyes. We dont even know how many people are here let alone who they are.
"Well that has to change then. Brom put in, Me and Jay could read there minds and
No you cant Brom. Soro cut in. Your to old to use magic like that now, not without it draining all of your energy, and Jay has other responsibilities to attend to.
I could use rune stones. Brom muttered.
Soros right. Oramis put in, but we need to make a list of the people we evacuated from the villages in the clan of shadow.
The clan of shadow. Soro scoffed, you think they could have come up with a better name than that.
Hello? Jay said. O sorry Jay, is that the end of your report? Oramis asked.
Yes but theres one thing id like to add. Jay answered, With john gone me, Will, and Brom are the only mages left in the forgotten.
You know. Soro put in, Who came up with that name? The forgotten?
I did. Brom told her, Because when I formed the forgotten I went looking for mages. It was back when the ways of magic were forgotten and so were mages. The forgotten was originally going to be a clan of mages, we planned to leave the land and seek our own path and not take part in the affairs of other humans.
So when did you start rescuing civilizes from villages being attacked by the clan of shadow? Soro asked awed by the news, She had lived with Brom and Oramis in the forgotten for years and yet she had never heard the history of the group.
That's a story for another day Soro. Right now you have work to do.
After Jay left Oramis found himself thinking about the day they had found Jay and his brother Cfett He had gotten a message from some of his good friends that there village was being attacked and he had led a scouting party to see if they could save and villagers, and they had found Jay and Cfett fighting for there lives surrounded by five men of the clan of shadow, one of them being a mage. It had been clear that Jay had the potential to be a mage and that he had some training in the art, and Cfett wasn't a half bad fighter for his age. Oramis and his men saved them and had started questioning them. That's how he had found out that their mother was a mage and that she had resisted the clan of shadows and that's why their village was destroyed.
He also found out that Jay had a two sisters that had disappeared when the attack had started, neither of them were mages or good fighters so he didn't think much of it at the time. As they were preparing to go back to the the forgotten camp the mage that had been attacking Jay and Cfett had appeared out of nowhere and cast a spell that had almost completely wiped Cfett and Jay's memories so they wouldn't be of use to the the forgotten. But luckily Brom had been there and he saved some of there memories. To this day Jay and Cfett couldn't remember almost anything before they had been brought to the the forgotten. But that was the curse of magic he thought, a mage never gets out without a scar..
After Jay got outside, he started walking around the camp. It was nice to be back outside. The council chamber was too hot and tiny for his taste. Jay loved were they were camped, the camp itself was simple, it consisted of many dark colored tents spread around a large field with a forest to the north. He was walking back to his tent on the edge of the camp, when he saw Mina walking turds him. "Hi Jay." She said as she ran up. "Have you seen Tyran around?"
"Hello Mina" Jay greeted her, "and no I haven't. Why are you looking for him?"
"he said that he wanted to see me." She replied.
"Id ask Kentis, he should be around here somewhere."
"Thanks Jay." She said as she ran off.
Jay wondered off into the camp, watching the people going about there business. He was walking by a big tent used as a mess hall when it was raining when he herd a yell from behind him and turned just in time to escape being smashed by a pole that had some loose from the tent.
What the!: he yelled as he jumped out of the way. "Sorry!" a man yelled at him from somewhere behind a tent "I was trying to move it and it came loose, you wouldn't mind giving me a hand would you?" "Sure, iv got nothing else to do so I might as well make myself useful." Jay replied. Some time latter Jay had helped the man move the pole back into position. Thanks. the man replied. No problem. Jay called as he walked away. He decided to go back to his tent, and on his way there he saw a shape in the distance. Searching his memory, he remembered a spell that would enhance his sight. He quickly casted the spell, looked across the plain, and saw a person, Will. He was running for the camp. More importantly, Jay saw what was chasing him.
