If you are reading this then...I am dead

To the world, my name was Daniel Worthing, I was a simple carpenter who lived in a simple house with a son away from the woes and stresses of daily modern life. Some called me a Mad man, some called me an Old fool.

Many people said I was hiding my son from the world, I brought him up on a self made house on a hill miles from the nearest town, he has been home schooled all of his life and is all the more knowledgeable for it.

I did hide him, and for good reason too.

But to my son and a select number of people, I was a completely different man.

And to those people, my name was Kivath Morelion, an old man of mystery and magic and a traveller of the mystic realms.

I knew of a world other than our own, of Eldritch Gods and Demons of the Ninth Circle, of mythical beasts and beings far more powerful than anything humanity has ever seen. I'd travelled the world, and seen marvels one could only dream of, but for me, it wasn't enough. I gained more and more knowledge in an attempt to become something far greater, and eventually became a grand pool of wisdom.

But alas, I am but a shadow of my old self, all of my amassed knowledge leaving me like water from a stream. I cannot father my son in this state, my body is growing weaker and weaker by the day.

I have tried to pass on my knowledge to my son, but his aptitude hinders his progress, all of the books and much of the knowledge I have amassed are his now, but his aptitude for the physical aspects are non-existent.

I wish it wouldn't have to be this way, there is so much I still wanted to teach him, so much he needed to be shown. His eleven year old mind cannot grasp the things I needed to teach. But now he must find it all on his own, he must complete my work and my legacy.

Along with the contents of this letter I have enclosed items in a blood seal for my son. He will need them in the coming battles.

I must leave you, my strength wavers.

Goodbye World.

This will not be the last time we see one another.
