Inferno

Prologue: Falco Lekwin

Falco

"Burn the criminal, let him feel the pain of his victims!" Falco Lekwin yelled. Though he was the youngest member of the Council of Magus, Falco was the most influential and wise. From a young age, he showed great prowess of the different schools of magic and was matched by none in his class. Falco also was unique in that he was a direct descendent of the goddess Ka herself and was always in close connection to her. It was for this reason that Falco had been seeing visions every night for the past few weeks.

After the Council trial and judgement, Falco headed home and went to bed. But instead of receiving a vision, Ka visited his mind personally. Falco felt her prescence in the room and opened his eyes to look at her. There is no way to describe Ka other than....light. Ka is ethereal, surrounded by a pervading sense of peace. As Falco gazed upon her, he found he could not get over the resemblence of his bride, Areas, to Ka.

"Falco..." said Ka, her voice coming from nowhere and everywhere.

"Ye..Yes, oh High One?"

"The time has come, the prophecy fulfilled."

"Wait, you mean..?" Falco asked, excitement rising in his voice.

"Yes, and you must find the other three."

"How am i supposed to.." before Falco could finish his question, four signs appeared in the Aether between him and Ka. Crossed claws in glistening olive, a scorpions poised tail in an oceanic blue, a shield of amber and finally, the horns of a bull, covered in rust.

"You will find these marks on the same place you find yours.." and with that, Ka dissapated and Falco was alone in his room. Suddenly, before he had time to gather his thoughts, the sound of knocking distracted him.

"Falco, it's Tareg, I....I have something to discuss with you" said the voice at the door.
