I am from the west. Not very far though. My parents were from Han, I was born in western Nagnang. I grew up as any other normal child. I worked in fields, with livestock, helping my father and 2 brothers when I wasn't goofing off my friends in town or training in all sorts of things around then, I couldn't decide on what to become. Maybe a mighty Chongun, or a wise Monk, or perhaps just to follow any other of the many paths. So, I kept my studies broad, focusing not too much on anything. I was part of the descendants of the western immigrants, the Ori'cle. We celebrate many holy days, and one day was special, my 15th birthday. I was visited during the night by a winged being, who said my insight had grown enough to choose my walk in life, I still couldn't decide. When I awoke, I went to visit the village Wise woman, she said I MUST choose, or be cast out of the town. I refused, I told her I wouldn't! She calmed me down eventually, and told me to venture east, until I find a cavern deep beneath the ground. I said I would try, and soon set off with nothing but some garbs and a sharpened wooden stick. Days after days I journeyed, learning how to heal myself, and becoming more efficient in hunting along the way, after what I think was a Yuri, I found it. Within a cavern just south of the capital was tunnel that lead deep below the nation. Waterfalls, and springs, this was a grotto! I'd never seen such a beautiful place. I kept going, and found a large opening in the cave, the walls extended far above me and before me, here was a ruined temple. I began to look about and found a scroll..."Central Ori'cle Temple" was all I could make out, I felt... light-headed?my sight went dark, and when I found my consciousness, the room had changed, colors swirled about the room, the starts seemed to have come down to earth. Seven forms appeared, I couldn't make out their faces, but one handed me a staff and some clothing. Instantly I felt a surge of power and the yearning to manipulate the world around me. My path had been chosen for me. I was a mage. I suppose time passed, I wouldn't attempt to guess as how much, but I found my way back to my village. I'd decided to search out the Wise woman, as I arrived she knew what had happened; I felt her probing my thoughts with a smile and curiosity. I trained with her for many for Yuri's learning about the Psijic, masters of the Old Ways, and mystic arts. When my time had come, I said goodbye and set off for the tri-kingdoms once again. Chapter 2: I've learned to contemplate things in ways long forgotten and mastered manipulation of the Mundus and a few planes beyond. I had decided to learn about the "Divine Order" who might be allied with a group that sought immortality by profane methods. Boat after boat, horses come and gone. I found the nation where the guild dwelled, Kugnae. I would study here for a time. My time with the Diviners was short. I could not get along with their teachers. I am now known as a simple Mage to the citizens, and I am learning their culture and history. I find myself more attached each day. I am still referred to as a "diviner" by some. But that implies Divine, which I am not. I wanted to be known as an aid, teacher, or a thinker, who happens to be aware of things beyond normal awareness. An Ori'cle Psijic, I mustn't forget this. I have begun a clan, a group of like-minded individuals. I missed my family, and I do not believe they are still around. I cannot remember their names, I don't know why. I found two others from Ori'cle villages, SevenSins and Taku. They have offered to help with the clan. I've also met an older man by the name of ApeDragon, who says he is now the eldest Ori'cle member in the capital. The local Monks have a service, in which they mark family members with a similar mark or name. We've decided to ask them for help, and while ApeDragon will be the leader, he has asked I become the head, and handle the tales of any others Ori'cle member members I meet. I am excited to finally meet so many others. If what he says is true, I have many yet to find. Psijic Aeshatter Ori'cle |
