I was born in the Mountains of California, the eldest of three, to parents who worked almost constantly. It seemed they never had time to spend with us kids. At the age of 10 I ended up baby sitting My younger brother and sister quite a bit, getting them ready every day before school, and again after we all got home. Despite all this My parents never approved of the decisions I made. From the age of 13 on I was punished over how I looked and EVERYTHING I did, My grades (even though they were never less than B's), and the fact that I chose paganism as My Religion. On My 16th birthday I bought Myself a car, over which My parents about died. They told Me I couldn't have it, and to sell it. When I refused they grounded Me. I disappeared into My room that night and packed all My stuff quietly, hiding the bags in My closet until morning. The next day I woke up, got My brother and sister off to school, put My things in My car and ran away. I slept behind the local movie theater for about a week before I found a place to stay, told a friend about it and we lied about our age to move in. We enjoyed the land, the freedom, and being close to nature. My magical talents grew rapidly as the stress left Me, and I found I could heal people quite easily. After remaining on the same land for a year I decided I was going to stay forever and went about shaping the land to fit My needs, and built a couple small buildings to My own desires. A few months after that I erected a Stonehenge within the woods surrounding My home, the building of which was very spiritual for Me. I carved the stone out of the mountain with My own two hands, shaping it with a hammer and chisel as was done in the "old days". I hauled them only a few miles, but it was still hard work. I put them up with the help of a couple pagan friends I had made while living on My own. As time wore on I formed a coven with those whom I knew and had helped Me to achieve higher levels of energy within Myself, and I learned new spells, acquired greater knowledge. I began reading about time travel, and making portals. Something that no one had accomplished with any degree of accuracy in the Pagan world of the 90's. Then, on My 20th birthday a sudden windstorm opened up, blowing down trees and moving dust, tearing up the land around Me as I ran thru the Stonehenge. Thunder and lightning broke over Me like strobe lights and rolling drumbeats. Rain began to pour down in sheets, and I grabbed onto one of the stones, fearing a tornado {or worse} as I prayed to the God and Goddess. When the storm blew over I was on My knees in the center of the standing stones. As I looked down I noticed there was a wooden door in the ground that had been covered before, and unseen. I gave it a tug and the door rose easily, so I slipped slowly down into the inky blackness. As My eyes adjusted found Myself in a long tunnel, marked here and there with torches, which lit as I walked along, till I came to a wide-open chamber, lined on every wall with books. A large table with beakers and such adorned the center of the room, along with a chair. I moved towards it, spotting a book lying open, and blew the dust off. As I scanned over the page, I saw a word in Futhark runes. Portals. Amazed I begin to read, finding that the idea of creating a portal appeared to be rather easy. Excitedly I take the book back to My house, call My friend and begin to work. Over the next few days I move most of My pagan paraphernalia down into this underground workshop. As I test the theories in the book, I find they aren't quite correct, but Not to be deterred I begin to change it on My own. Weeks then months go by and still nothing. I call a friend and he makes a suggestion of a substitute in the concoction I hadn't tried yet. Happily I gathered My things heading out to His house to test it. On the way I was cut off by a truck, causing Me to skid sideways off the road, bust through the guardrail, and plunge down the mountain. As I fell, the car began to flip forward in the air, causing the ingredients fall to the floorboard and mix. A bright flash of light distorts My vision and I remember no more.
Some time later I awake and find Myself laying on the ground, facing the sky. I notice the moon is full and the night is warm. I slowly sit up, wondering where My car is, and I realize I'm in a desert and that I am completely unhurt. So I Begin to walk, seeing in the far distance a forest of trees. I move towards it and Finally at sunset I reach it, spotting a very large tree I Climb up wearily and fall asleep. I am awakened by loud noises, shaken out of the tree and into the center of a group of people in armor, brandishing swords. One of them speaks, and then stands forward placing their sword in My chest. I am taken prisoner and lead to a cell, a strange looking creature staring thru the bars. We have a long conversation, after which He releases Me, directing Me towards a Castle named Atlantis on the other side of the Massive continent. The trip would take Me a total of 5 years, during which time I tried to gather as much information as possible as I stopped at various lesser castles within this large realm. As I travel I begin to notice that the name I bear causes many to raise their eyebrows at Me, as if I am someone they despise.. or perhaps fear or even revere. Of course when no one will explain why this is I get angry and would tend to stalk off. After a couple years of wandering across the continent, I come to a land called Emaine Macha. OOoo if only some things could be taken back it would be asking for a home here. When I came to this land I found out it was run by a friend I had made in a previous place I had called Home, Castle Cardonia. And tho I've loved many homes, most of all the one I have now, Cardonia was/ and will likely remain one of My favorites. I earned and learned a lot in that place, and from its Queen. She was kind, caring, but also unfortunately very ill, and being the last of Her line unable to take care of Her home as She wished to. Tho while I was there I was gifted By the God and Goddess with two separate gifts. One coming in the form of a golden and platinum Ancient Dragon Named Terravita, whom I found out later was an elemental Dragon. She had three siblings whom also fell into My care, as I learned more of My pagan ways. A Blue and silver ancient named Aeron, a white and blue ancient named FireSkie, and a teal and green Ancient Named Fernandra. As I found out what purpose they served and I learned how to utilize them, My magick again surged forward in leaps and bounds. The other gift was a book I found in Cardonia's library bearing My last name on its front cover. Tho the inside was written in runes I could not yet read, I knew somehow that this book bore My families Tree, and its history. When I left I went seeking a man I called friend within Cardonia's walls. Drago was a good man when He left there, and for awhile yet when I called Emaine Home. But after feeling like You've been mistreated for years it tends to make You a bitter person. I believe that may be what happened in this case. I shan't go into details about this place, I will only say that when I went to visit other friends I'd make in other castles and got chewed out for it, and had My membership revoked I decided I should leave. I didn't think it a good idea to stay when I'd left My parent for the same reasons. So again I journeyed. Tho now I had things to do as I wandered. Finally one day I saw the largest castle I had seen yet, and walking inside I spoke with the sweetest girl I had yet Met...sal. she told Me all about Atlantis, and that if I wished to return home I had but to find the portal I came thru. I explained My story, and to My dismay she told Me that since the portal was of My own making I would never be able to return home. I continued My research, if not for a way home then at least so that I could do it when I wished. I also had the pleasure of Meeting the Queen of Atlantis, Kessara Drago. One Whom I shall NEVER forget as long as there is breath in My body. As I stayed in Atlantis, I found Myself sitting and talking and playing quite a lot, but most always with sal, and as time wore on aria as well. In the time that I was there I also was honored with the hand of Ka'Trina, My lovely wife. In the time I stayed there I also found that I was falling in love with sal. After a few adventures there came the night sal had a dream. One which spoke of leaving Atlantis. Of moving on, and coming to the lands that were awaiting us. We talked about it, and I said that I thought it was a good idea, to which she agreed. So, We moved outside and found the portal the dream spoke of, stepped thru it and arrived in a new land. I turned to saluria and asked her “Where do we go from here?” saluria looked at Me and pointed towards a Castle on the hilltop. “We go there.” We then began the trek from the collapsed portal to the castle. Upon arriving we were met at the gates of the Isle by a guard who smiled and bent his knee to us, allowing us to pass. I looked at saluria, who only smiled a secret little smile and kept moving up to the castle.
When we arrived inside the main hall of the castle, saluria began to chuckle as Gaia shimmered into being and surprised aria and Myself. “My Children” Gaia smiled a warm smile, her mood illuminating the darkened room. “Please be welcome to your new home.” She turned to aria and smiled, basking the girl in her glow as she did so. “aria, My dear, I'm so very glad that you did decide to join them. You are much needed here in Xak Tsaroth.” Aria could only smile as Gaia then turned to Me, a beaming smile pon Her lips. “And You, My Dear Jonathan. We hold many plans and wondrous things for You.” I looked at the beauty that is Gaia and stammered out. “Wha.. What kind of things, Gracious Gaia?” Gaia laughed a tinkling laugh, emanating from everywhere and nowhere before she replied. “You, My Child, are to be the Emperor of Xak Tsaroth. You are one of the reasons I appeared to saluria in her dream. I, Domnu and Valefor had to bring You here. Valefor and Domnu wanted a chance to get to know their Own.. and to protect Him and His loved ones.." All I could do was blink and nod, My head swimming at the idea of being Emperor. I shook My head and asked the one other burning question I had. "Who... Are Domnu and Valefor??" She smiled softly" O I forgot, You've not cracked the runes in that book You found Yet. They are Your patron God and Goddess My Child.. Here this will help You crack the code" She chuckles at this as she casts the spell that will give Me the knowledge to finally solve the mystery of who I am. At last Gaia turned to saluria and smiled. “And you, My child, I am glad you heeded My words and brought them here. You are more needed than you realize. you have to help Jonathan in this task, and the love you feel for each other is going to make this place even more beautiful. Alas, for this time, I must bid you all farewell, but know that I will be watching.” So I find Myself in a new land, preparing for a new chapter in My life. And tho I find Myself no longer married I shall prevail.
Here the writing changes slightly, not in any real style but in the thickness of the lines.. the lean.. it looks.. older.. more deliberate...It also seems to change from a history to more of a journal.. a recollection of events..
The years have been long and unkind. I lie in this hospital bed a broken Man. A fight to defend the walls of My home turned into a war to defend My country. Struggling into lands I've never seen to chase the enemy away from My own, until that day I got caught unawares, ambushed By the monsters I so wished to be rid of.. I spent 6 years of My life fighting in a strange land only to awaken 10 years later in this damned hospital. And all I have to show for it is this streak of silvery grey at My temple. A gift from one of the monsters. I don't even know how I got to the hospital.. Hell, it took me a few months of confusion to finally remember who I am... scratch that.. who I was. And even that wasn't an easy or pleasant task. After being trapped in My own mind for 8 years by a coma, plagued by a dream of people I couldn't remember, in a land whose name I had on the tip of My proverbial tongue I awoke, with one name on My screaming lips. kitiara. Even then the task of remembering Myself and My family wasn't easy, tho I had kits name to work from. It came slowly, and seemingly in no particular order that I could recall. After kit it was Damium and Darstar, then Seraph and Gala and rissa and ElDork. Ka'Trina as well. I even remembered the place I was from before I remembered Myself, tho I didn't know it no longer existed by this time. For the first 18 months after I woke I was called Zak, after the place I was from that they swore didn't exist. Course once everything came back to me I was afraid to go back, afraid to stir up memories and see the people I'd loved.. My wife.. My girl all taken by others. In the 6 months it takes to find the courage in Myself to think anyone would want to see Me after My failure I come to find that XT truly didn't exist any longer. In the three years it takes to travel "Home" I come to find there is a new Empire there.. one that has a Woman Empress, but no Emperor. Confused I shroud My face, color the streak of grey from the blow I took to My head and move within the city. As I arrive I look around, seeing the place has indeed changed, been cleaned up and revamped, but that the base of XT is still there.. My hopes rise as I move towards the castle. I look thru the gates and see the fountain I built with My own two hands and My spirits rise still more. Moving thru the gates I sneak into the hall, looking around and finding it completely different. Being met by people I take to the shadows as I did so many years ago in MA, unsure after seeing that the Empress isn't Kat, and not recognizing Anyone as of yet. I move up to My old chambers, looking around slowly and seeing the dust and dirt that has amassed in a place that once held so much love. I sigh softly, turning up a corner of the blankets on the bed before sitting down, crying softly as I speak to Myself "O kit.. what have I done..... I need You M' flame...." Anger wells up inside Me, and I fling the pillow from the mattress, then look down as I hear a scroll hit the stone. Looking down I open it slowly, seeing My girls writing. I slowly read down the page, finally understanding why I have seen no one I know. I decide to remain, looking for someone or something familiar. Or at least so that I can find out what has become of My Family. Unable to keep from the main hall I wander in, hiding in the shadows as I had before. Afraid for no good reason. As I wander in, seeing the Woman I noticed as the Empress in the painting I am thankful for the shadows, then I lay My eyes upon one of My Sons and his Bride to Be. It is Damium, and as I hear His name spoken something inside of Me breaks.. Then I hear Him call the Empress Mother. Confused I continue hiding, waiting to figure out what is going on. As We carry on a conversation She figures out who I am.. for a moment chaos ensues as I find out this Woman is My kit.. Now Free and an Empress. AFTER She slapped the hell out of Me... twice.. and I kiss Her We've picked up once more, and are engaged to be married, as We should have been 18 years ago....
