' I was born in a small village not far from the coast, we didnt really have much and my parents were both slaves to the local warlord, i was born into slavery but it was not long after my 11 birthday that i was bought from the slave blocks by a kindly old man, (i never did find out his name i truly wish i had), he took me in and rather than have me as a slave he took me in as an aprentice, he said he had sensed something great within me and he wished to teach me how to use my gift, i stayed with him for the next 7 years learning all he had to teach, to start with it was simple things such as he had me dust his tower, to start with i didnt mind doing these choors but iv never known a tower gather so much dust that quickly, i must have dusted his tower and cut his fire wood for about 7 years ... (come to think of it i cant remember his fireplace ever use wood ..?)then one day he told me to move a huge stone half buried under the gound i pushed and pulled and even tryed to dig it out all to no avail then in pure anger i shouted at the rock, i screamed at the damnable thing to move and i fell over myself when it did, it was then that my master walked up behind me and said that i had finaly learned what he had to teach me and to my gaul it had taken me 7 years, then he told me to go out into the world and experiance it as i could, before i left he gave me one truly sound peice of advice, there is no magic... only power and the skill to use it, i went from his tower and roamed for a few weeks before heading back to my old masters tower, but to my dispointment the tower was empty and look as if no one had ever lived within it, with that i left and roamed the land before finding myself before the walls of devardec, and now i have found a new home... the wizards guild'
