Hooks: Silk's father seems to indirectly influence some events in Silks life & the Geomancer Delvish who won’t soon forget his enemy
Tale:
His father was Vizier to a small but powerful kingdom.
To keep from following the path set forth by his father, Hadin set sail for the call of the sea. He didn't realize his father had aided him.. hoping he might return a strong.. confident young man. And so it was that Hadin learned from several years at sea.. he did indeed grow stronger .. sure of foot and confident. Good things happened ... for a while.. but fate was not thru with Hadin. His ship was attacked and only by the strongest drive to live.. to survive and not fall to an ignoble fate... he and one other companion lived. Kasus and Hadin had to do many things to keep this fact from changing. They lived off the witts and a lot of luck. They stole.. they did things that they once would never have considered doing... they lived. Hadin became adapt at feats of balance, acrobatics and throwing knives. He found he had a talent for keeping a crowd entertained with his antics. It was for the best since he didnt really like being a cutpurse, stealing to live was one thing but stealing for gain... that wasnt to his liking. Kasus however was not so narrow in his thinking.
Hadin slowly grew away from the theivery and though he still might steal in times of need... he does so only to feed himself or to right a wrong. Kasus grew in his skills and became a recognized member of the local guild.. a fence < merchant> and trader <blackmarket> They are still bonded friends even though they are not business partners. Fate < and his father > had other plans. The caravan that Hadin was working was attacked by bandits and though they were driven off many died and the group was seperated. Hadin < now known as Silk>and a female warrior and guard named Topaz were set in the sands with only there few belongings and each other. They dragged themselves thru the mounds of sand finally taking refuge in the ruins of some forgotten city, a new turn began.
The details of the battle are a story in themself. the battle between an ancient geomancer bent on using everyone that fell into her clutches to further her search for power. Topaz and Hadin with the aid of a jinn won there freedom and an enemy, Hadin learned that he had been chosen by fate to hold the trait of a geomancer. The jinn < Dimming was the only name he gave> Topaz and Silk < hadin> were returned to civilization by magical means, along with a few new things and a new direction in life.
