The young elf didn't know it yet, nor did the rest of the clan, but Luthon was speical. It happened one night, the young boy was dreaming, and he was in the fade, but he just didn't know it. He came up to a huge black wolf, that looked at him and he looked back.
It was just eye contact and no words spoken, but Luthon woke up with a start breathing heavily and covered in sweat. He was hot but why, and that's when he noticed his tent was on fire and the keeper ran into the tent and pulled him out..
So scared Luthon was crying, he didn't understand."What's happening to me babae{Father}.''He said threw his tears, as the rest of the clan had gathered but stood back. It was rare but it happened in their clan, and Luthon was the first in many genartions to be born with the gift of magic and now that he came into his magic, things were going to change for the child.
The keeper then spoke,''Hush now da'len.. It will be okay.''He picked up Luthon and then puts the flames out as he looked to his son, the fear on his face was painful. He walked back to his tent as he said.''Back to sleep everyone its okay now.''He went into his tent and then sets his son down on the cot.
''Luthon look at me.''He said as he sets his staff down on the ground, then took his sons hands gently then said.''Your a mage my child. I will teach you how to control your magic. And how to protect yourself from demons.''He touched his face lightly then sighed heavily. ''From now on, you must call me Keeper.''
"But babae.''He cried as teras fell down his face more, as he looked at his father. The look of worry all over his face as he sniffled some then just lowered his head.
"You will understand in time Luthon. But one day you will thank me.''He placed his hand onto his sons head gently, he hadn't really been a father to Luthon as he grew up, he was more distant towards the child, it hurt because Luthon looked just like his mother and it pained the keeper deeply.
Rubbing his eyes the boy yawned big, he was tried from all the crying. He lays down and fell back to sleep. The keeper looked at him then covered him up and pets his head gently. Standing up the keeper moved to the spare cot he had in his room and lays down and went back to sleep himself.
The next morning, Luthon left the tent and went to join the other kids, but they just looked at him and said their teams were full and they left him standing there, he looked to the hunters who were about to head out and went to see if he could join them.
One of the hunters who happened to be his older brother knelt down, he placed his hand onto his little brothers head and then said. ''Sorry da'len but you need to stay here now, its not wise for you to hunt now,your the keepers aparntice and that's a big deal. It means one in the near future you will be the keeper of the clan and that's a big deal.''He then stood up and left with the hunters and their sister who just glared at Luthon as she passed by.
Luthon stood there as he watched them all leave, tears spilled over his eyes as they fell down his cheek. ''But I don't want to..''He mutters softly then sniffled as he then looked in the woods and rubbed his eyes seeing a huge black wolf, he ran after it. He then bumps into someone and fell backwards onto his butt.
The bald elf looked down and blinks at him. He held his hand out to him, as Luthon took it that's when the boy saw things flash before his eyes and he then looked up at him..
The keeper rushed over then looked at the stranger. ''You should leave stranger.'' He said even thou the other was an elf, he didn't bare the marks of the Dailish.
"But fa..Keeper he is an elf like us.''Luthon said sniffling some as he rubbed his eyes.
"No da'len he isn't.''He then turned guiding Luthon back to the camp, as the other elf watched eyes full of wonder and knowlge.
Luthon looked over his shoulder then blinks as he noticed the other elf was gone in a blink of an eye.
