It was at the age of 14 that lolord first heard of his missing father,
who sent his wife a letter. He was in the city of Hartland then, and recently
joined a revolutionary group in town. He kept writing quite frequently,
always saying he was content where he was and had no intentions of coming
back before Lolord's 18th birthday.
He said when that time arrived he would visit them and see how Lolord had grown up, and if he were prepared to join his father in his cause. Of couse Lolord, who was still too innocent by then got all excited about it and put and extra effort in his learning. He had been an aprentice of Khaffandor, a retired knight for a few years then, and by that age, could use a sword better than any adult in town. But it was in the next winter that he finnaly learned the truth then clouded to his eyes... He was looking for wood in the forest when a woman came running in his direction ... Her skin was pale from the cold and her dress was soaken in blood. She carried a child in her arms. "Please, hide this child while there's still time!" She pushed the child into Lo lord's arms, who lost balance and rolled down to the side of the snowy road. So fell the woman. Dead. Face down, her blood tainting the snow around her. An arrow har craved in her back.. Then he heard the sound of horses and hid behind a big tree. Then Lolord's face turned as pale as the dead woman's.. On of the riders was HIS FATHER! It all happened too fast. Lolord throwing himself against a one of the villains that was making sure the woman was dead and falling equally quickly. Then he would listen to a voice he would never forget... Later he would learn th at voice belonged to Seph Markile, by then leader of a clan known as Hanged Cross. "Kill him this worthless boy!" said the voice "..... Don't bother." Said Atalisk Ororoth, one of Seph's strongest men. "Kill him this worthless boy!" said the voice "..... Don't bother." Said Atalisk Ororoth, one of Seph's strongest men. "Someone who falls so quickly in battle is completely harmless to our cause... He wouldn't have the guts to raise agaist his own FATHER, anyway..." Lolord was too hurt to move... A single tear fell in the snow before he passed out... |
