Chapter 1 (new)

[ozran]

Down deep in the bowels of the planet Cordem, the thing that once seemed correct was all going terribly wrong! A world where humans didn't mater and orcs and goblins and larkz ruled -




Chapter 1: Zimphade

Dark and dreary was the time. Once this land of darkness was a beautiful paradise where all creatures where equal and could live in peace. The orcs and the goblins and even the larkz were all peaceful once, once a long time ago, before the Evil Derivon. The evil wizard; no one knows for sure how he was created, or even why, but they do know that his body is that of an orc, and his head is like that of dragon.

In legends, he was described as a 50ft tall beast with hot breath that would steam through the nose and could scorch the skin. Always carrying a staff in his right hand that gave him power over all. But, as some say, on the other side of the planet, Rivion, he is just legend that someone created to scare children. A bed time story. But for myself and people on the Zimphade side of the planet, this hard cruel, terrifying legend, was more than just a bed time story, but reality and a way of life.

[ozran]

Ozran, only but a normal human, was once a slave to orcs and other such creatures. He being born in the 23 month was a --------(thinking of names etc) and prone to bask in luck. Although Ozran did not think that being born on the Zimphade side of the planet was what he would like to call luck, he still felt as if he had a purpose and luck or chance we can call it, was with him. As a slave boy he was made to steal from travelers or common folk at that, returning each evening to give his spoils to his master Exosus. Exosus was a Larkz, and ugly creature said to have been bred from the devil himself. Ozran personally thought he look more like a cross breed between a alligator and a monkey.Exosus was particularly odd because of his large scaly nose and long hair that grew from what Ozran thought to be his ears. By and by, Ozran found that his masters appearance wasn't tat all the real ugly part. Infact, if one was to contras between the two, Exosus would be considered to look like a fair prince. It was of no surprise that Ozran had acquired a great deal of scares from his Master. When Ozran was young(7 or so) he was a very scrawny boy, even for a human. This was in direct effect of being malnourished. His hair was a light golden brown and kin had all ready been roughened from years of poor living conditions. The only part that shown as beautifully, was his eyes. He had gray eye's not common for the human race. This made matters worse when trying to make friends.
As mentioned before, chance was with Ozran and in this case, helped his state of being. It was in a market place where Ozran first meet Faldor. He was trying to steal, tibits (a small form of money) from him. For the first time, Ozran was caught. To this day, we can not say, so thus we will blame chance, Faldor took pitty on the young boy he had caught. Talking to the old man, Ozran began to realize how lucky he had been. Faldor was not just an old man, but a Wizard. Faldor, also seeing the awful state Ozran was living in, took it upon himself to teach him the ways of the Wizard or Wiz Waking as Ozran liked to call it. Faldor would come to Ozran secretly under the cover on night. he would change himself like a ball of dust glimmering in the sun. In that state he would teach Ozran to ensure himself not being detected by Exosus. So there he learn Now he is 23 with long hair down past his ears and a scare behind his right ear.
Tomorrow will be his birthday and the celebration of his first full year from Defon, one of the original slave camps when Derivon first started to rule.
