it took me some time to realize that what i wrote was terrible. The story was horrible. I\'m sorry for all the poor souls that actually wasted their time reading it. Anyway, i\'m leaving the original story, so you could say if the one that i\'m going to make now is better. The first time i decided to make my background i had some nice ideas, but then, when i wrote them down, i somehow managed to mess up everything. So that now that i think i have clearer idea, i hope to make things better. For example, to make things easier to understand, i\'ll start from the story of Ezekiel, the guy who took care of me.
PART I: EZEKIEL\'S STORY
Ezekiel born a certain day, in a certain month in an uncertain place.
Not much i know about his childhood and adolescence, maybe becuase not even he himself remembers about it. He is an human, with a very dark skin, black eyes and (guess what) black hair. He is about 1.70m long, and has a rather fragile build, though it\'s hard to say since he alwyas wears a long, large, brown cloack. His story starts in a high tower, situated 10 months of walk far from the city of Yliakum, on a very high mountain. He was taken here from a mage, wich thought of ezekiel as a student. He took him in this secret place becuase, from what he says, he had a special power, and the only place where he could learn more about it was the magic tower, a place where to strongest casters gather to improve and share their knowledge. The first thing the Ezekiel learned when he arrived in the place, is that no one liked him or wanted him to be there. The tower is a place that no one should have ever seen, apart from the ones that live in it. The mage that took Ezekiel there was also one of the oldest and stronger caster of the known world, wich is the main reason for they actually let him in. And so Ezekiel started his training. Under the supervision of the old mage, he learned everything there was to know about magic in Yliakium, and he learned that the magic source of the world is the crystal, and that in order to channel this power one needs to use specials items, known as the glyphs. Many years passed, and finally Ezekiel learned everything the old mage could teach him. During his training, he started to have a certain affinity with the dark way, and with the time he decided to speacialize only in this magic class, ignoring the others. And so, when his apprenticeship(not sure about this word) ended, he became a very powerful necromancer. The others mage of the tower started to dislike him even more. During all the time they were in the tower they never specialized in any specific way, and as a result, they ended being an average all-round casters, knowing a bit of everything but not having the capacity to cast the monst powerful spells of the various ways. And so, Ezekiel was now the must powerful mage of the tower. As a necromancer, he could easily see the litlle line that crosses life and death, and becuase of it, he had the power to shape every creature fate. He could kill in an istant even the stronger being that walked on the world, or decide to bring back to life people that died so long ago that no one could remember of them any longer. And the others mages didn\'t like it, of course. But they knew that he was too strong for them, and decided it was better to just leave him alone.
But yet, Ezekiel knew he didn\'t had full power. There was something preventing him to use the full power of the magic crystal wich gives life to the world. And it was the fact that he had to use something else to absorb enegy from the crystal. If he could find a way to estabilish a direct connection with the crystal, he would have found true power. If he could do it, nothing could be impossible to him. And so for many years he tried various ways to accomplish his goal. And after 20 years of study, he finally found a way to do so. During the night, he called the old mage, the only one that was worthy to see him becoming a god, and went outside the tower.
\"Why did you call me? Where are we going?\" said the old mage
\"We are going down the mountain\" replied Ezekiel
With the use of magic, both of them reached the base of the mountain in no time.
\"Now what?\" said the old mage
\"I am going to show you the true meaning of power\"
the old mage was really curious. At first he thought that he was joking, but from the way he said those words, he could say he was serious. But yet he couldn\'t understand what he meant about \"true power\". He thought that Ezekiel already mastered the dark way, and that he already had more power than anyone could even, even more of himself.
Ezekiel then started the ritual. So many times he dreamed about this moment, and he was sure that everything would have ended has planned. He used his powers to create a magic flux between himself and the crystal. He could already feel the power flowing through himself. He started to glow like the crystal, and felt so powerful now that he could do everything. And to be sure of that, he decided to try to cancel from the world the huge tower on wich the tower was. He wanted to destroy the mountain,the tower and all the mages that were in it. Only he and the old mage would have survived, becuase if it wasn\'t for that old mage, he would have never experienced such power. He would have probably never known magic at all.
\"Stay close to me\" said Ezekiel
The old mage was too scared, or amazed to tell the truth, to reply, and did like he said.
Now that ezekiel was one with the crystal, he had control over the world. He channeled both his powers and the crystal\'s one under the huge mountain, and then released them. What happened as a result was both terrible and fantastic at the same time. It was so much incredible that it can\'t be told by words. The magical explosion could be seen even from the very distant city of Yliakum. Ezekiel reached his goal. Now that he had estabilished a link with the crystal, his power was everlasting. He was virtually unstoppable, he could not be killed. In fact, he was a god. But something went wrong. The backfire was terrible. He almost killed himself. He could not die, but his body was now almost useless. He could not move, but his magical powers where still great. With his powers, he created a magical cloack. And then, he asked the old mage to kill him.
\"What?! Why should i do it? You know that i could never kill you!\" said the mage
\"I am not asking you to kill me. I am asking you to free me from this body.\" replied Ezekiel
The old mage could not understand much of what he was saying, but he realized that there was a sense in it.
And so he stabbed Ezekiel in the heart with a knife. The odd things is that after doing it, he had the impression of seeing him smile. But maybe he was wrong. And then something even more incredible entered. The really strong light that he saw the first time Ezekiel created a link with the crystal moved from Ezekiel almost destroyed body to the magical cloak. The cloack was now Ezekiel new body.
\"In this form i cannot move, either i can use my magical powers...but at least, i am still here \" said Ezekiel
\"What are we going to do now?\" said the old mage
\"We are going to make another tower... my tower. And then i\'ll have to find someone, someone that will become my student, just like you did for me... and i
can feel it, it\'s getting closer and closer to me.... soon he\'ll be here. And he shall be even stronger of me\"
the old mage didn\'t reply. There was nothing to say after all.
