He jumps down from the tree and runs his fingers through the hair of the panther. "Just like old times Rasputin."
They walk on leaving the devastation of their old world behind them. The smell of fire still strong in their nostrils. Their past as dead as their loved ones in the shallow graves they buried them in. They search for both answers to the chaos behind them and a new world to call home.
He stops in a local pub one night on his journey. He talks with a Queen who invties her to be part of her clan. She offer his some lame crests and is tells him he is to train to be a Mage. He smiles as he listens to her as he realizes that she knows nothing of him.
"She would not ask me train if she knew who I was. Nor will I stay here."
He sits there observing those around him. He sees, husbands and wives, parents with their children, lovers, and life long friends. For the first time in many years he realizes that he is truly alone, no loved one to share his life with and no children to pass his knowledge down to. He sits at the table a glass sphere running between his fingers effortlessly.
He wonders if he is to be alone the remainder of his life.
He drops her tags unto the floor and looks into her eyes. The sphere dances into the palm of his hand up his left arm across his shoulders and down his right arm and into his right hand where it begins to rotate between his fingers like a coin.
"How dare you treat me like some insolent fool who needs training. You ask me not who I am or who I be. I am far more skilled to lead your family then you are. I am far stronger then your best fighter and 10 times more powerful then your best wizard. A queen is supposed to be honorable and not look down upon anyone. You are supposed to be above reproach and lead by example. Let me lead by example so everyone in this land will understand how ignorance will be dealt with by me. "
He tosses the sphere with little effort and its breaks apart about two inchs in front of her face. The substance inside splatters unto her face and quickly begins to eat the flesh from her bones. With in 10 seconds all the flesh on her body has disappeared and a full skeleton falls sideways from the chair and unto the floor.
"It will take a far wiser leader then this to get me to stay put and a far better woman then the likes of that as well." *Another sphere dances out from his pouch and back into his hand where it begins to churn between his fingers once more. He doesn't even know hes doing it for its become a part of him now. He grins realizing that no one knows of him here and he smiles as he heads to Ameris. He speaks with his uncle Gabriel Black Magic, Keeper of Justice and expression and King of the Dark Demons of Magic. Roland had been DDM for many years. He stays a short time with his uncle, who had raised him since his mother, Livy's death.
Roland had loves in differnt lands, he had been engaged to Claudia twice before, he had been engaged to Kristalin, he had been engaged to Dark heart, and a woman by the name of Kelsey a former DDM member. Roland has an adopted daughter named Raime with Kristalin and also takes care of Namand, Kristalins son. Kristalin disappeared and he has always loved Namand as his own.
Roland finally falls in love with Kalia the Keeper of Fertility, They were married and had just recently sought out the blessing to have a child which Ayanna the Guardian of Ameris has granted them.
After speaking with Black they both decide that Roland is needed more by his grandfather and grand mother Shantner and Chloe Magic. He join the LDW, Legacy of Dark Wizards without hesitation now realizing he will learn if all the tales of his grandparents wisdom are true of just tales.
