Birth

The year is 47693 of the Sá á udan calendar, 40 years before the integration of the Háskóli calender.

On the 19th day of the 9th month, one of the greatest man of his era was born to the human couple of Ferjaan Athro and Asha Athro.

The baby was born in the town of Twin Creek where various races from humans to dwarves to demi-humans, and even elves could be seen walking in this town albeit rarely.

Unlike most other history changing legends this baby had no special occurrence at the time of birth except for the deadly silence of Tartarus where you would usually hear the screams and howlings of various beings sent there as if they were oppressed by the aura of a King.

What kind of occurrences happened during the birth of the other legends, you may ask.For instance, there may be an extremely calm storm where the wind would stay still but the mana in the air would creat a mana storm, which could only be felt by mages, that person would go on to become one of the greatest mages in history.

There was one occurrence where the baby was born in a ship during a storm and the instant the baby cried the storm abated and the sea became calm as if the storm was only a dream. Anyway, back to the point, the baby borne of Ferjaan and Asha was named Magnus Athro, later to be called The Great Athro.

TwinCreek

It was a cool evening at TwinCreek and a 6 year old black haired boy is squating at the bank of the Town's name sake, the twin creek, at the entrance of the forest leading to the Elven Mounds where the elves reside.

Just as he was considering of going back to apologize ,a warm and sweet voice,much like his mother's,called out from the forest, "Are you ok,my dear?You've been sulking for a while, why don't you come to the forest and tell me what happened? "

The boy fell back, scared, screamed out, "Ahh! "

Then a girl, startled by the boy, fell down from the tree she was standing on.

THUD!

Upon hearing the supposedly owner of the voice fell down, the boy overcame by curiosity, picked up a stick lying on the ground beside him and entered a stance as taught by his father and nervously asked, "A-are you o.." and before he could finished his sentence, he saw the girl bleeding from her forehead. He threw the stick and ran towards her with his handkerchief and tried to dab away the blood. It was at this moment that he saw able to see her face clearly.

It was the cutest face he had seen, with big blue doe eyes and black flowy hair tied to a pony tail by a red ribbon.She also had short pointy ears like that of an elve but shorter, and some baby fat on her cheeks.She was a half-elf.

Her appearance made the boy in a trance which he snapped out of it when he saw the bloody forehead again.

When the girl finally reacted, she pushed the boy away and hide behind a tree.

The boy then,in the most reassuring voice he could muster, said, "I-it's okay, i-i won't hurt you. "It was only then that he saw the girl wearing a black cloak.

The girl didn't reply and just stared at the boy.

The boy had black hair, brown eyes and was around 110 cm(3feet 7inches), around 20-21 kgs, neither lean nor fat, neither handsome nor ugly, dressed neither rich nor poor, you get the idea, he was as avarage as could be. He was the kind of person who could stand near you in a crowd but you wouldn't even notice him. He was as plain as can be, but she felt as if she was staring at some kind of king and his aura could not help but make her feel inferior and completely drenched her in cold sweat. She could not even move lest she would not offend that boy and live a life full of strife and misery.

Beginning to feel uncomfortable, the boy then said, "O-okay, then i'll just put the handkerchief down over there, near the yarrow herbs and you can use it for your head. "

This made the girl to snap out of her trance like state and could not sense the aura of a king she felt from him any more,as if it was a hallucination. She double checked is he had that aura but since she could no longer sense it she decided to put it in the back of her mind and asked him in a timid voice, which was very unlike her, "W-what's your name? I'm Hayati Urës of the Elven Mound."

The boy ,after putting the cloth on the ground, smiled and said, "I'm Magnus Athro of Twin Creek,you can just call me Magnus. " Then slowly backed away.

Only after Magnus reached 5-6 steps away from the cloth did Hayati approached the cloth and used the yarrow herbs to treat her forehead.

Then Magnus then asked Hayati, "What were you doing in that tree? "

To which Hayati said, seemingly panicked ,"I-I was playing hide and seek with my friends when i got lost. "

Magnus asked with a clearly confused expression, "Don't elves know the forest like the back of their hand? "

Hayati ,whose face then became as red as beet, looked away and muttered under her breath, "I'm bad with directions, "

Magnus who could hear her properly, snickered under his breath, smiled mischievously, then asked, "Sorry, i couldn't hear you properly, could you say that again? "

Magnus expected Hayati to become more embarrassed but he underestimated the hearing of the half-elven girl.

She could clearly hear his snickering and became angry instead. The details of what went down will not be stated as requested by Magnus, but let's just say Magnus did not come out of the exchange unscathed.

Now, the bruised and battered Magnus and the Injured Hayati just sat in silence until Magnus broke the silence by saying, "So, what will you do now? Since you don't know how to get back to your home. "

Hayati replied, "I don't know, maybe I'll just stay here and hope to find other elves to guide me home. "

Magnus thought that this situation might have not been the first time.

Then, Magnus heard someone calling for him. As he looked towards the direction of the voice, he saw two people running towards him and Hayati.

One was a very pretty woman in her late 30s.She had long and lustrous set of black hair with green eyes. She had on, a long black dress, those typically worn by witches. She was Magnus' Mother, Asha Athro.

The other was a 'beautiful' man in his 30s.He had a set of golden hair with beautiful deep blue eyes amd pointy ears. He had on a long green raiment very much like that of a traditional elven garment.

Now, face to face, the 'beautiful' man immediately slapped the bruised and battered Magnus on the face when he saw Hayati's forehead, then tried to pummel him when he was stopped by Asha, who simply smiled and said, "Why did you slapped my son?"

The man then tried to explain himself in panic, "I-I b-believe that he is the culp-prit who put my d-daughter in such a position. "

He was Hayati's Father, Holug Urës.

Asha responded by nodding to Hayati, "What exactly happened? "

Hayati, as bewildered as she is by his father's behavior, said, "Me and my friends were playing hide and seek, when i got lost.As i was going around searching for our village, i ended up here. When i got here Magnus was still sulking and when i tried to approach him, he suddenly yelled and fell backwards, which startled me,so i fell down of the tree branch i was standing on. "

Magnus tried to say about the warm sweet voice that he heard but Holuq was faster, saying,''See, Magnus should have noticed my Hayati and tried to play a prank to startle her. "However,mid-sentence, he noticed Asha's sweet sweet smile and started to taper off towards the end if his sentence. He even started to address Magnus and said, ''What had caused you to suddenly yell and fell back like that? "

Magnus finally had the opportunity to explain the voice he had heard, that sounds extremely similar to his mother. When he heard the voice, he thought it was his mother's sweet angry voice and thus was startled and fell down.

Upon hearing about the voice, Holuq and Asha shared a look, and with serious expressions and faced the forest ready for battle.After a few minutes of eerie, almost awkward, silence, and confused gazes from the children.

Suddenly, sharp spikes started to come out of the ground near them trapping them in a cage successfully.

The children panicked and started to cry out, ''W-what is that?!''

''They're Underground Human-Faced Spiders, they immitate the voice of the person in your mind to lure you into their traps, and these spike like protrudings are their legs. ''Explained Holuq hurriedly, ''I thought they only lived deep in the forest, what are they doing in this kind of place. ''

The spider legs started to close in Asha started to conjure a magic bullet spell and shot it at the ground near the legs.

SHREEEK!

A shreek came out from the ground as a giant spider with human face on its belly bursts out of the ground and before it could even take a step, Holuq drew a bow made out of light and shot a light arrow right at the face on the butt of the spider.

HEADSHOT!!

(According to what logic does this count as a head shot, i don't know, but it's still fun to say HEADSHOT!! OKAY? )

The spider then stiffened up and fell down.

Just as everybody began to relax a bit, another spider crept from their blindspot and tried to pierce right through Asha.

When Magnus saw this, he was unnaturally calm, as if he passed out. His eyes turned black as the surroundings started to warp and began to brighten up, and everyone passed out, except the spider.

It was at this moment that the spider knew, it fucked up.

As the surroundings started to dim a little, you could see a vast emerald green plain. There were etheral houses standing, floating, and even some inside the ground.

If you look closely you could make find that the houses are at the exact position of the houses of Twin Creek.
