It's just like life, it takes experience and time". With that Taloc tried visualizing the rod willing it and just as that it materialized in his hand but something was different than before this time instead of a rod it was slightly flatter more resembling a blade."what is this ,it changed? It is nice that its real and not just part of a dream but this whole situation is unsettling."
"Change comes with knowledge and knowledge breeds experience making them one in the same".
Just as that Taloc pulled the neck on his blouse back and looked at the tattoo it had grown a few petals. "So now I see that the tattoo and weapon are a reflection of my soul "from there with his new knowledge of his newfound power Taloc set off for answers.
"Taloc I'm able to read your thoughts but what made you want to fight that wizard?" ,well it was 5 years ago now I lived with my 2 brothers and my father after our mother passing from an illness , we trained everyday under our fathers watchful eye after tilling the fields. Our father was a great swordsman who was a sword for hire Known for his fervor in battle until one day he fell in love started a family ,not wanting that horror to befall them he left that life behind him living a state of continence . That continued until one day an old man with vibes of death came to our village looking for volunteers for his experiments he had pocketfuls of gold but father wanted no part of those matters, not long after his arrival thats when things changed. First it was animals, then the people who volunteered untill it was women,children ,and any Manner of folk really disappearing with no explanation. One night there was a meeting put together to rally and run off the mysterious old man being the trouble started with him and his experiments he must of gotten wind of that for on that night the old wizard showed his true colors. The first of his victims knew their fate without a doubt be it his minions or blast of magic attacked merciously. Not warriors but simple farmers and townsfolk they weren't prepared for such terror and in the end the final stand was done by my father. Hacking and slashing blood washed the earth but the creatures the wizard controlled were vile and too many in number, he charged through the horde confronting the wizard directly quickly delivering an onslaught although try as he might his swordsmanship couldn't trump the evil wizards spells. In his final stand he managed to land a maiming blow, a slash upon the face of the wizard taking his left eye, infuriated the wizard finished my father in a wave of light.
Shortly after he started a spell of darkness not unlike the darkness from the door except this was in the form of a hole that kept growing and sucking everything in the area into it. Seeing my father fall and Not knowing what to do I charged forward grabbing my fathers sword madly and foolishly lashing out ,the wizard raised his hand throwing a wave of force sending me flying and hurtle into a tree some distance away. When I awoke the whole town along with my cherished family were gone.
