It was a peaceful day in the Arc household. Nothing too strange going on. Well, stranger than usual. Jaune Arc, the only male of eight female children of the Arc family, was in the library. He was looking for books on magic, as he had found some videos of magic tricks and was convinced they were real.
Finally, he found a book, which seemed to call out to him. It was an old tome, worn and torn at the bindings with the papers yellower than old parchment, though they were stronger than the other papers. The tome itself was a dark brown, large and very thick.
Opening it, he saw a warning. It was obviously a warning, even though he could barely understand what it said, because of all the exclamation points, bold lettering, italics, and caps, even though that it was completely hand-written.
He would have to learn this strange language.
After months of translating, Jaune had finally translated the massive tome. Inside was what he hoped for and more.
It was a biography of a man named Mal'Damba. He was a voodoo man, who was great at what he did. He had plenty of experience, defending the Realms from the Magistrate. It was amazing, reading about the encounters he had. Jaune had decided that he wanted to be just like this man, even though he was going to do what was considered dark or evil.
He wanted to be good, protecting others with his magic.
So, he started working on making the perfect outfit and getting a familiar.
