You decide to rescue the princess Patjala and to check out the tomb in the northeast. Not after trying to obtain some knowledge about this from the mage in the south, that is.
You pack your stuff, and just as you are about to leave, the town's shaman, speaks to you again: "I haven't introduced myself, I am Halume, the shaman. Take these provisions for
your travels." He gives you food and water for four days travels.
You head out. Kralec who follows you on every step has remained quiet during the entire trip. Funny, you think, he is apparantly aware, but yet he acts like a slave. As the only slightly
weaker storm howls around you, you walk the dunes of Raksha desert. The area is beautiful, reddish sand meets black rocks here and there, and there is some birds like vultures circling above
you. From time to time you meet long eared foxes known as Fenecs, rodents and insects, but the bigger animals seem to hide during the day. Your Basic Earth Repel spell has helped and hindered
you again, as you are slowed down, but protected from the sand. At your first night rest, you light a fire with some materials you brought, as your mind wanders to Kralec again. You decide to
break the silence and aproach him, afterall he is your servant.
"So. How did you come to be, Kralec?"
He looks at you with crystals of green eyes and begins to speak in a deep voice.
"Well, it is quite a story, master. It would be better if you took a seat, it will take a while..."
You follow his advice after finishing lightening the fire.
"Your old master Springsteen is a very educated man. His knowledge of Earth Magic and evocation as well as hieroglyphs is astounding. He is a great Theorist in the fields of Mana Studies and even has atained knowledge in the fields of water magic. He as a deep understanding of the nature of magic, due to his openness and curiosities of magic. Unlike many others of his kind, he has travelled alot and began to meet all kinds of people. For a while he lived with monks at the edge of desert, not so far away from the capitol. There he learned about divine magic and the nature of it, though he wasn't to reproduce their effects. He made many friends there until he felt he had learned enough.
After that he travelled to the sharkmen of the western shores. He managed to gain their trust, over a period of several months. At first he studied them from afar, learning their culture bit by bit. Later on he began to emulate their behaviour and as they saw his dedication and his will to learn and behave as they do they decided to let him live amongst them. Quickly he gained friends there as well,
and he helped them with several problems they had. It was while he lived there, that he learned more about spirits. They are chaotic beings living in seperate realms from here, though the veil of some realms is thin... Anyway, he and the villages shamans shared alot of knowledge.
A demon threatened the village, and while Springsteen made a stone more able to store manatic energies, as he called it. The shaman bound it to said stone. The stone became aware and living, but they managed to trap it in a subterranean cave, eventually.
Springsteen started thinking for a while and came to the conclusion that a well planned ritual involving a befriended monk named Tzartan, and the shaman Rakusha. Your master believes that humans are ordered grandchildren of magic. Spirits however are the raw chaotic children of magic. The divine are somewhat matured spirits one could claim, and they are still chaotic but more interested in culture than nature. If one found a spirit, but baptized him to be more inclined for order, you could create a feasible machination with a soul AND knowledge of spiritual and divine matters. So they did just that. They found a spirit of the desert, a Dune spirit, who was very curious after being impressed by Rakusha's mastery of the holy rites. After the cleansing of Tzartan was finished, the spirit was bound into a well created sandstone rock sculpture with the right amount of different mana storing crystals, and I was born... I have a different name for I am a different being. I am new." He seems to smile at this.
You are quite overwhelmed by this all, and decide to meditate.
You feel quite relaxed, though the storm will hold you here for an entire day, as the next sector of the desert is to dangerous to handle even with your spell, maybe think of a new spell?
