Outlines on Strathearn

Konstantine… Once the greatest wizard on all of Third Earth but also once the greatest sinner on Third Earth. For his sins, the divinities of his people had struck him blind and sent Amphitheres to steal his food.

"I was a sinner but I didn't sin everyday!" he'd say and it was true. The sins he sinned were small ones, meaningless ones and yet he had been the greatest sinner on Third Earth. He was a Nomis, yellow in color.

When the crew of the Fairhair came upon Konstantine he had been under attack by two Amphitheres: green, winged feathered serpents! The amphitheres were killed and after the deaths of those, two Konstantine was never again harassed, be it by person, monster, divinity or beast!

Harald was the one who spoke with Konstantine, alone. Leaving those who had come with him waiting outside the cave in which Konstantine made his hermitage.

"He's leaving us out." Lib held up his hammer and brought it down on a rock.

"You know, Lib, for someone who taught me to stay calm at all times you sure aren't staying calm." Commented Balor.

"I just want to know what's going on." Swinging his hammer around, Lib took a seat on a nearby rock. "Where are we going? How far are we going? This is something we should all know."

"I understand but considering you taught me to stay calm at all times, it is awfully strange to see you as anything but calm." Lib wasn't the only one of Balor's mentors. There had also been the ThunderCats but there were mentors besides them. Gard, Zuvowang, Dalv… Balor had learned things from many people. Even from people who had tried to kill him, Balor had learned something such as always to be aware of his surroundings. What he learned from others were things that some wouldn't find importance in. Suddenly, something came to Balor's attention. Standing up, he looked out across the landscape and saw outlines without bodies. "What are those?"

Lib looked at Balor, along with the others. "What?"

"Those! Over there!" Balor pointed at the outlines. Sure enough, they saw the outlines. "What are they?"

Sarpedon, a Thunderan, gave a response while stuttering. "Things that appear all over Third Earth I've heard. Do not follow them, anyone! Where they will lead you, you will never return from!"
