Artemesia Family/Samael
The "Legend" of Samael
Alright you have wandered into the story of a man named Sam, whose fortunes and stuff and other things just happened to be strange. The epicness of his actions is yet debatable, but we shall soon see that.
The story begins with a young commoner boy named Sam Wormwood. He was born on a day when an earthquake occurred in the distance, causing tremors in the village. Well anyway, a noble called Nathan Artemesia passed by and decided to help unify the families Artemis and Wormwood into House Artemesia as per the wishes of Jeherad and the Artemis noble who brought Jeherad into the nobility.
Sam was sent to study alchemy and stuff with Lawrence and Marissa, but despite his skill in the subject, he wanted action, in the form of swordfighting. So at age fifteen, he went to the Cagilan Empire to learn how to use a sword. At age seventeen he joined the military where he engaged in one battle against a bunch of undead in Vornion, but it was clear to him that he would need some different experience to get his swordfighting skill up. So at the age of twenty, he left unannounced, and disguised himself as a commoner in Ash Sea Islands. Stuff happened.
Er, rumors go that he had a rather...interesting...encounter with an undead champion who might have been a "witch" while alive. Said undead woman did not kill Sam and apparently he has been seen with a strange woman. When more details become available, this story will be expanded.
So going down the list of "legendary" feats, he has found the Armor of Mapo, Ucdauh's Breastplate of the North, and the Shield of Anti-Undead. He has also dueled a rabbit to the death. Yes, that is correct. A rabbit, as in the small furry woodland creature. Yeah, Sam duelled it to the death. Guess who won.
The diary of Samael does say a bit about the rabbit duel:
The furry thing stared at me with its bloodthirsty red eyes. From that moment, I knew this would be a fight to the finish. Only one of us would leave here alive. It twitched its nose, taunting me. I did not bite the bait. Frustrated, it leaped at me, incisors bared, as if to bite me, but I quickly dodged its assault. I flicked my whipsword at it, but the foul creature kicked away the point with its hind leg. I knew that I had to finish this duel quickly or I would be late for the court that I was supposed to hold today. So I just stood there, awaiting my opponent's move. It attacked, and I prepared myself. But instead of a direct attack, it tried to do a frontflip and kick me, but I ducked under the kick, thrust upwards, and hit true.
<Silly rabbit>, I said, while staring at my defeated foe, <trick moves are for...> And at that moment I felt an overwhelming urge to eat something.
On the morning of January 16, 1009, Sam tried to hold just court in Chuca, but a peasant who still felt loyal to the Falasani went insane and threw two shoes at Sam. The first shoe missed, but the second one hit him on the head, making Sam rub his forehead in annoyance before killing the peasant with a throwing dagger. Unfortunately the stewards in Chuca refused to let Sam continue work for the day and made him stay in bed with the healers. He did not argue much when he saw that he would be treated by three very beautiful healers.
