Krios Gemini
Legacy Name: Krios Gemini

Being from a wealthy background, I have had all the time in the world to do what I wanted. I live in a Germanic Castle, with many secrets inside its walls. From hidden stairways to hidden hallways. I lived here with my Mom and Dad, who were, in fact, Royals to the land. My parents tried their best to be a part of my life as much as they can but, being that they were royals it was hard for them to be everywhere at once. So, I was always alone in my room to do whatever I so pleased. Now I will take you on a journey through my life. You will understand the hardships and the friendships I have managed to create.

Now, let us go far back when life was rough. I want you to close your eyes and imagine a pair of servants under a tyrant house owner. Women of fair skin rubbing her belly as she slaved over a stove and a man with bold muscles and broad shoulders cleaning the kettle. Their names were Chloe and James. They were in love, and the child was their baby, me, but only they knew that. As the king thought this baby was his, he still had Chloe clean and cook as she needed to. In the king's eyes the child was a bastard, but none the less this had been the only women to bare a child. The king was a fat slob of a man that ate piles of food every meal and had many "lovers" at his becking call. But, he was fascinated with Chloe, she was the prettiest of them all and the most hard working. The reason Chloe was the only one to bare a child for this man is that she was sleeping with James without the King knowing. After she was sent away from the kings quarters, she would then sneak into James's room and make passionate love to one another. But, they also had a plan behind this, they were going to trick the king into putting Chloe into his Will and giving the castle and titles to her and the baby. James was not as lucky as you think in this situation. Whenever the king had sex with women, he would have a male servant clean up after the deed. Since James knew every woman that set foot in his room and none of them had ever gotten pregnant, he knew that the king was not producing any sperm. So he then hatched the plan to impregnate his true love after the king had is way with her so that the king would think the baby inside Chloe was his own.

Seven months later

The King grew ill he had come down with some type of disease that no one was able to figure out how to cure it. He had a select few people that would visit him. The Doctor, which was no as liable as you think, the Kings right-hand man and in charge of all the money and his Will, who was James, and the Kings wife, Chloe. Chloe would only visit the most needed moments so that the baby or she would get sick. James is so close to the King now made it easy to persuade him into giving most of the land to him and Chloe. The King wanted them to live on his legacy and get married. So a few days later a ceremony was held for James and Chloe to be married, then about two weeks after that, the king had died and left everything in their hands.

A month and a half later

I was born. I was in what I have learned called the womb of women, my mother to be exact. She gave me the nutrients to grow inside her. For nine moths straight I was in there trying to understand what was going on, but I would never understand what was about to happen. A bright light appeared one day, and soon I was going towards it. Exiting my senses started to go crazy. But, then I saw here the lady known as my mother, she was beautiful. Being as I was born Half-Elf, I wasn't accepted into society as much as you would think. Elves were of faraway land, and none of my relatives were of elf decent. So for the first part of my life, I was bullied and put to shame. I liked to be with my mom and dad because they still cared about me.

My favorite hobby is looking up at the constellations and learning more about each one of them. I would sometimes discover my images in the sky and try to get it approved by the government; I usually bribed them to do it. My parents would sometimes call me "Lord of Constellations" since I talked about them every chance I got. When something happened in life, I would reference a constellation, then laugh to myself even though I might look stupid. Another hobby I took up was Greek Mythology. Which was a bad idea because I would create these worlds in my head where all the different characters would live with me and be a part of my life in real life. I have recently grown apart from that since I conjured up the two daemons that are my companions.

Given that you know this little bit I just told you, I can now tell you why I'm Half-Elf. I was looking through the public records at the library and records at home, only to find there was no record of any Elf being in my family. I decided to search the hidden rooms in the castle for my information. I started with the rooms hidden behind bookshelves; nothing then moved to a room that was far off from the main building underground. Where I found my answer and a few other things.

Entering the room I got a quick burst of air as if walking through a barrier. For a moment, my eyes had to adjust. Was I really seeing this? There were floating objects placed around the room. At the far end, there was a book on a pedestal, as I grew closer to the book it opened and began flipping its pages. It stopped at a page with words that were not ones I had been taught by my teachers. The more I concentrated on the words they began to move and make words that were legible to me. "We have been waiting for you", It said as the words continued to form sentences and paragraphs in front of me. "This is the book of Elders, your elders. The only way you are here is because of your elf decent." I gasped that the book knew that. "Krios since you are an elf you will be able to do things you can't do as a human, such as magic." I blinked my eyes as to how that is possible, how any of this was possible. Then, it hit me magic is how. "Contained in this book you will find everything you need to know about magic. If you have any questions for us. please write them in the air and we will answer them the best we can. Good Luck." As the last few words appeared they soon disappeared. So this made me curious, so I wrote my first question. 'Why me?'. The book then started to make words again, "We were waiting on the line of offspring to reach its most potential. And you were it. The night you were born we conjured up a storm that actually sent an electric shock through your mother causing the Elf gene to be sparked and making you born Half-Elf." And again the words faded as if not wanted to be recorded. This the words in bold "Only one question may be asked per day." came across the book.

Will make this great promise. *Who are the people answering? So he's been asking questions and getting answers for several years - what did he find out? I mean about his most important questions about his ancestors. You say his mother was killed by a thunderstorm when Krios was born, who was that mother and who is the mother raising him? And is his dad at least his dad? Did he have elf ancestors or is he the first elf in his family only caused by the storm/the room people/whatever?*

So for the next few years, every day I would go and ask it a question finding out more about myself and my family. At one point I started to read the book learning different things about magic and how to control it and use it to its fullest potential. Some of the books I read talk about putting magic energy into a machine of sorts and using it as your weapon or making it work for you. Pretty soon I was an Advanced user in magic. After becoming such a great Mage I started to venture out into the nearby woods seeking things to use my magic on and so my parents won't find out what I was doing. I would use small spells on creatures like sleep/confuse/levitate, but soon after I started to have this awful power of destruction come over me, an evil possessing me to do things I never thought was possible. I started killing animals left and right. A couple of weeks later there were no more animals to kill, so I traveled further into the woods coming to a small cottage where I met women of great power. Her name was Daliphin, she took me under her wing and taught me how to use my magic, even more, causing me to learn the Life side of magic such as minor heal and minor resurrection spells. Soon enough animals were back to what they were doing. Daliphin showed me how to conjure spirits, but I wanted more. She didn't like this she pushed me away. When I stepped out of the cottage, this time, the shack behind me disappeared. Turning around I saw only smoke and a tree emerge from it. So I continued to learn this summoning magic on my own. A lot of trail and error. The bigger the risk the better the reward. I soon became over obsessed with the art. Trying to summon more than a tree nymph, but I couldn't do much with the leverage I was using. So I turned to servants they were fine for a good bit but they weren't educated enough to allow my summons to live long. So in the midnight of dark evil crept back into my thoughts. They pushed me to the edge causing me to think of my parents as the subjects of my experiment. So I listened I couldn't resist the evil were my thoughts. So the next day I drew out the spell and studied till midnight when I knew they were fast asleep. Then the worst happened.

My parents did not only die that night but, they were used for something far eviler than I thought. When I awoke the next day covered in blood I found the bodies were gone and two Daemons were left in their place. One with Purple Eyes and One with Red Eyes. They were named after Greek Gods which I studied for a brief time in Mythology of all sorts. Learning more about them I found out that in the Daemon world it is only right to marry your siblings so you don't falter the bloodline. They Also, share the characteristics of my parents that were inherited through the summoning. Rhea (My mother), Purple Eyed Daemon, is the Titaness daughter of the earth goddess Gaia and the sky god Uranus, in Greek mythology and sister and wife to Kronos. Her name means 'that which flows'. The reason I choose this Greek character as the name of her is because she helps the flow of my magic. She is the Light I carry in my heart. She is a caring, loving, and gentle being. She is also the sister and Wife of My other companion. Kronos (My Father), Red Eyed Daemon, was the ruling Titan who came to power by castrating his father Uranus. His sister and wife were Rhea. He allows me to be able to use my magic for more powerful reasons and doesn't hold back. He can be cruel, demanding, and Hard at times. He is the Dark I carry in my heart. Given that they are the Light and Dark of my inner self since they were forged into this world from theirs to ours by my magic, giving them the sort of Left and Right shoulder talking companions helping me in away. I am sort of their master when it comes to listening to me. When they were in their world they were not all that useful. They grew up somewhat like me, as to they were no accepted by their peers because they dabbled in things other daemons wouldn't normally dabble in. So when I summoned them they were happy and felt like they had to belong in this world.

Krios had a lot of fun adventuring with his friends, but he found it was time to find himself more than what he already knows. Krios always had a passion for learning new things, but this one was the hardest of them all. Fishing! I know what you are thinking, out of all the things he could possibly have learned, how is fishing the hardest? Well, my friend, this is how. Let us begin when he first encountered it.I was riding on my horse one morning and decided I should take a detour and found new places to see. I had never been to the pond that was on the edge of the castle grounds. It always seemed to scare me to be that far from the castle. But, on this day it was sunny the sun was just peeking from the morning fog, I approached the pond with caution not knowing what was beyond the bushes. The closer I got, the voices became increasingly louder I started to understand what they were saying. "No you are doing it all wrong, it's all in the flick of the wrist." a girl about the age of nineteen talking to a boy about the age of seventeen, he pointed at his wrist. "Like this," she swung back a pole about five feet long with a string and weird floater attached to it. She then flung it forward, causing the pole to flick the line into the water and the floater to bob on the surface of the water. It was like magic from there after, it bobbed even more and then all of a sudden a fish was being pulled out of the water and on shore. I did a small clap of my hands, not to alert them of my presence. I was fascinated by this "magic" that was happening before his eyes. I needed to know more so I was going to make it a point to "bump" into them tomorrow to see if I could learn something about this new thing. The next morning I woke early, put on my best clothes, and proceeded to ride my horse to the pond. this time it seemed I was earlier than them, so I went over to the same spot they were yesterday, it was about five in the morning which was probably too early, so it's a good thing I brought so breakfast to enjoy by the beautiful water. As I laid my food out in front of me and a blanket, so I didn't get dirty, I began to eat. After I finished, I cleaned everything up and pulled out one of my favorite reads about a man and his tiger and the adventures they go on. I must have been there for about three hours when I heard footsteps approaching and whispering about my horse or something. I played it cool as if I didn't notice them and continued to read.They then approached surprised to see someone else was there before them. “Hi!”, Greeted the girl “My name is Eurybia, and this is Iapetus one of my friends from the village about a mile from here." he waved but, didn't say anything. She was holding the pole from yesterday, and she was holding some spear thing. "Hi, there my name is Prince Krios from the Castle." pointing behind me. "What are you guys doing with those?" I asked looking at what they were holding. Shocked she first bowed then said "What, you don't know what these are?" holding hers up "this is a fishing pole, and that is a fishing spear, they are used to catch fish." fascinated even more but the names themselves I stood happily "Can you teach me how to use it?" looking at the both of them. "Of course, we would love too!" she had a huge smile on her face. For the rest of the day, we had fun fishing and spearing. We had over 20 fish racked up, and it was crazy how talented they both were, she was a better pole fisher, and he was better and spear fishing. I was a novice I don't think I could be any less bad at something. Well, I guess I found a talent I'm not good at, this is a first. Soon after, leaving we exchanged numbers and were texting each other and planning on meeting again tomorrow, then days turned into weeks, then months, and we were the best of friends. We even began hanging out besides fishing we went to their village I invited them over the castle and life was going great. But, I sensed something in the magical realm, and I still haven't shown them that I could do magic. Surprising this is the longest I have gone without doing magic in the open.10 Months later.I finally felt it was time to show them what I could do. I invited Iapetus and Eurybia over to the castle. Sadly, Iapetus didn't show up but, I wasn't devastated with this because I liked it when Eurybia and I were alone together. She arrived at the castle, and I opened the doors using magic. I heard her gasp in the library. "In here!" I shouted to her. Walking in she sees books flying about the room and images jumping from the books. Her eyes grew as big as they could get and she just stood there with her mouth wide open staring. I broke the silence "You know it's not polite to stare," smiling at her "so I have meant to tell you more about me. She blurted out "I KNEW IT!" then quickly followed up with "we can't say Iapetus, he will want to kill you." my face went from happy to an angry, mad man. "Why would he do such a thing?" "He is contracted by a guild, he is in, to slay magically beings" she then changed her tone , "but I have to tell you something too." she looked down at the ground. I walked up to her and put my hand under her chin lifting it "What is it?" staring into her eyes and her soul, then it happened I was in a memory or something. There were two people the vision then became apparent that it was my parents the day I was born, but it was altered or was it the original? My mom then gave birth to me, then the lighting that struck her traveled through a wire nearby to the room next to them where they were also giving birth to a girl, Was this Eurybia? Is she the missing link to my puzzle? Is she my age? 'Wow, she ages well.' Then the vision stopped, and I was staring at her again, "You know it is impolite to stare?" she chuckled. I then went in and kissed her, well held the kiss for what seemed like an eternity. She was the first on to back off "Sorry I didn't mean to do that." She turned around and started towards the door. "No," I objected and held my hand out to hold her in place, but suddenly my grip went away as she swiped her hand in the air and was now running and out the door before I could say anymore to her. To be continued

I have never felt so much power in my life. I sat down recently to set some rules for myself and figure out how I will go about living with what I have learned. I want to go about helping people in this world. I want to learn even more magic and read more info about different kinds of magic. I want to become I Legendary Wizard. I want Friends that I can go on adventures with and have fun while doing it. These, these are what I want for myself. I am Krios Gemini, and I will live a life worth living, and I will not let my past be my downfall. But deep down in the bottom of my soul, I would love to see my parents once again, just to say my final goodbyes and to say I'm sorry.
