Serpentis Family/Erik Eyolf/Glimpses of the Past
Erik Eyolf Serpentis was young. He was not known as Judge of Sirion and these ideas have already howled his mind? His ascension was brief. He took the place of the fat and rich Nesrah in Dolmbar as Knight and after the death of Lord Robert he took the properties by the vote of the Lords of Sirion. The world where he lived began to see the magnificent warrion of strong and soft speech. Vigorous and cheering. Drunk and always in love. In the arms of Elune. Captain Karl was at his side. The brother was still not a legend. They still were not sung by the bards. The Stormwalkers in black mantles waiting to march.
The Great Peace was over and the war had begun. Fontan marched to the gates of Oroya with a great strength. Sirion was not ready. And the young Lord of Dolmbar was preparing for the formal presentation before the Knights and Lords of Sirion like the new Marshal of the Army of Sirion. The only hope to survive and fight against the enemy hordes.
Nesrah, the sorcerer: "What are you afraid of?"
Erik Eyolf: "I don't know!"
Nesrah: "Shall I tell you what's out there?"
Erik Eyolf: "Yes, please!"
Nesrah: "The Dragon! A beast of such power that if you were to see it whole and all complete in a single glance it would burn you to cinders!"
Erik Eyolf: "Where is this Dragon?"
Nesrah: "It is everywhere! It is everything! Its scales glisten in the bark of trees, its roar is heard in the wind and its forked tongue strikes like... like..."
A bolt of lightning strikes nearly at their feet.
Nesrah: "Oh, like lightning! Yes, that's it!"
Erik Eyolf: "How can I...? What shall I...? Must I...?"
Nesrah: "Do nothing. Be still. Sleep. Rest in the arms of the dragon. Dream."
Erik Eyolf Serpentis was struck by lightning bolt. He would lead the Army of Sirion and gain positions of power. Sit on the Council and become the first of a new generation that will rule the greatest and most powerful realm against all possible and imaginable enemies. He will fear the Dragon no more because he will become the Silver Dragon. Marching with the Red Dragons. The Goddess would visit him in his dreams with the Revelations and She will rise from the lakes with an armour forged in the fires of Creation. Holding in Death Otahs enemies fallen in battle, tying them in fetters when he recited the forbidden charms of the black and forbidden Daemonic Book. He would be the law and justice and lives in the heart of every Sirionite. Fighting more than the old names.
That day, leading for the first time the Army of Sirion in the first battles of the Great War, Erik Eyolf Serpentis became a legend.
