The boy came to the Old Sorcerer’s Keep on the slopes of Mt. Airie to avenge his father. Strong in Magick, the youth did not fear death and Dark Sorcerers. Surprise and treachery betrayed his father but allied with him. He was not limited to Light Sorcery, the protective Magick of his father. Since early childhood he learned Dark Sorcery, the destructive Magick of his mother. The unsuspecting Clopidrel Kreuseul never knew that his spouse Meredith Farrier was a Dark Sorcerer, and her family name was Klarje. Meredith shared her life-mate’s compassion for Sagain and its people and never openly practiced her skills of Dark Sorcery, but the blood of Boton flowed through her and her progeny. The enhancements that Boton achieved were passed on to his progeny. The blood of Boton flowed through the boy’s veins. Meredith Klarje Kreuseul feared for her son, informed him of his true lineage, and taught her son. She hoped he might use all aspects of Magick for the betterment of Sagain. Being the first offspring of a Light and Dark Sorcerer, the boy’s essence was neither Dark nor Light. He and his mother kept secret his dominant attributes of Dark Sorcery.
When she learned of her kind spouse’s death, Meredith called her son to her and said, “Whatever I feared has come to pass. The person responsible for your father’s murder has stolen things from his study. The most powerful Magick of Sagain lies in the hand of the enemy. Take your father’s staff Pleione, his robe of the Order of Light Sorcerers, and this record of our family’s ancient history. They’re as unique as you, my son. You’d best keep our lineage to yourself. I don’t know where your path will lead you, but anywhere may be better than where we stand. Make good use of the skills that I have taught you.”
