Xanthus
The water mage
"Wake up son, its time for squire training", Xanthus' dad said.
"But why dad, I want to be a mage, not a knight", Xanthus replied.
"No, for the last time you are NOT becoming a mage. Mages are cowards who hide behind everyone else to cast their spells. Also you need to have been born with mage blood to be one".
"But how do we know I don't have any? I've never been tested for it".
"The answer is NO, now get ready for training".
Xanthus was 14 years old, and all his life all he ever wanted to be was a mage. He was sure he had what it took but
everyone made him go to squire training so he could be a knight in a few years. His mom, dad and brother who was a knight, kept telling him to "go do squire training and never think about being a mage ever again". They also said that "being a mage is for cowards who don't face their opponent head on". But he disagreed. He thought that it took a lot
of skill and hard work to be a mage, and he wanted to ascend to the highest rank of the mages and fight in the battlefield as a mage. Then one day, it all changed.
"Quick, Xanthus, get inside!", his brother yelled as he pushed him inside their hut. The village was under attack
by barbarians and they were united under the leadership of a berserker who went by the name of "Kun". As his brother pushed him into the hut, the barbarian leader Kun cut off his brothers head, and started towards Xanthus. All of a sudden, without thinking or with any thought in it, Xanthus let out a almighty yell and as ancient runes glowed blue and red over his body, a unstoppable tidal wave of water came out of him, sent Kun flying backwards and blasted the hut to pieces. Running towards Kun, he cast his hands out and a solid jet of hard water came out, smashing his sword and went up Kun's nose, drowning him. As the barbarians saw that their leader Kun was dead, they ran for the hills with the townsfolk
on their heels. When the news of the attack reached the lord of the castle, he sent his highest mages over to see Xanthus immediately. Taking him back to the mages tower, they found that he had pure blood of the first water mage, Poseidon. Realizing that he might fulfill the prophecy that said "My staff shall raise to the blood purest", they told him of the prophecy.
After saying goodbye to his mother and father, he set off on a quest to find the staff. After traveling and searching for a month, he was resting by the sea. There was a cave right by the sea, and he heard this voice calling out to him.
"Xanthus, Xanthus, Xanthus", repeating his name over and over again.
Heading into the cave with his sword ready, he slew a few drowned zombies. As he was walking along, the cave started to flood and it flooded quickly. Before he could get out, the cave was fully flooded and he thought he was going to die. When he ran out of air and took a breath of what he thought was going to be water, it turned out to be air. Taking another breath, he realized he could breathe underwater. Swimming down to the end of the cave, it turned out to be a dead end.
Just as he was about to turn away, the wall of the cave opened open and sucked him into it. Turning around, he realized the water couldn't enter the new cave for some unknown reason. Turning back around, he saw a water staff floating in a
sphere of water. Walking forward, he reached out and took it. It was light to the touch, about head height and crooked at the end like a shepherds staff.
Inside that crook was a small ball of water constantly turning around. Spinning it around him, his runes on his arms glowed a brilliant blue and the staff shot out a hard aqua jet stream of water toward the wall, destroying it and letting the sea rush in. Swimming out of the cave, he found himself face to face with Poseidon.
"So you found my staff, did you?", asked Poseidon.
"Your Poseidon?", inquired Xanthus.
"Well of course, I am. Follow me and I will train you in how to use that staff". Swimming down to the bottom of the ocean, a beautiful palace came into view, made out of different kinds of coral. As a few months went by, Xanthus become better and better at using the staff. He now could teleport, summon meteors and call ice snakes that he could control to his aid. In addition if he was near the sea, he could cause tidal waves and manipulate the water to his control.
Finally, he left the palace and went back to his home town. Finding it ransacked and destroyed, he found out that a rival kingdom had raided and burnt his village and the castle.
Once he found out who had done it, he went to their castle and requested a audience with their king, Nick Rottman. When they brought him into the throne room, his anger got the best of him and as his whole body glowed with the power of Poseidon, he unleashed bursts of water on the guards, killing them instantly. As Nick cowered on his throne, he cast his hand out and putting a sphere of water around his head, watched as he couldn't breathe and drowned. Marching out of the castle and killing any guards who stood in his way, he summoned a massive tidal wave and destroyed the whole
castle. Traveling the land, he now seeks justice and vengeance to those who do wrong....
Bob's dog is the best.
