Ch1

My father Witness The world creation he saw the mountain shaping itself and the land crafting the lake and river were split open, he never comprehends what is happening for he just Witnessing The world beginning All around, for all What the world did Around him it's drawing itself it did, Not knowing what meant to be a life or death and also time for it just day and night for him, That is what witness with his eyes, Until the day, comes when the world set still not understanding what happens, for the world, it's stop moving.

 so he kept watching but nothing happened, so he keep hold of thinking and he keeps thinking until the day he felt mad for the first time, he didn't understand what Come  to him, that was the first time he felt something deeper within him,

 But he'd keep speculating around trying to figure what is the meaning of all this but no answer came to his mind.

 He possessed of wandering around from there to their from mountains to sea and lake up and down no sign for anything Can give the rest to his mind, most of the time he sat beside a lake seeing His reflection,

but he kept thinking of the moment he got mad and scene his reflection in the water blurred but clearer for him he watched his reflection for days and days alter to months and months turn into years but as I said he never knew What it's time.

for a day came he took his fingers and starting to draw some lining in that dirt and scene his reflection in the water, so that come to his mind to  draw some shape to look like him but it was very far to look the same so he kept drawing and drawing,

he grows into a master of drawing he loved, he couldn't explain to himself what is happening to him it felt like the time he gets mad the same thing but differently, he felt that coming from deep within him from where his madness comes from but this time it was more exquisite if this the word to describe it,

 he did draw many things that come from deep within him, he never knew how it's comes to his mind, but he never asked many questions for his mind come to respite for he treasured what he imagines.

But life started to be lonely, He lived many years alone that's what he started to feel, imagine yourself in his place alone nothing to do just drawing and drawing what you will do?!, Kill yourself you can probably, but as I said he never knew what is life as well as dead he doesn't know the difference, maybe just maybe this tale end in a very different way if he knows, but this is the tale have many tales in it for this the only the launch of a very vast world tale for I'm to tell you the tale of all and this is my name Uwla.

I lived in this world for many ages as my father did,  a saw many things cannot be explained or describe but it has just befallen that's what I feel affection for this world it was full with surprises, that was my father he starts this on Days of olds,  he didn't know what he going to do, for he created man the first of his creation that walked in this world, man they were very powerful being the known how to wield magic for they born with it, They Ruled the land from east to west and north to south and they build the world we're seeing now.

 Konon he was just sitting near the fire of the campground that Uwla has put up, the sky was clearer and no cloud keeping the stars from shining and the Moon and its twin fully shining with them and their reflection in the lake of Guendler creating another moon and it's twin in the lake Surface,  the lake of Guendler it was so massive that you cannot see the end of the other part, it was the sea in the heart of the land it spread for miles and miles, in the middle of the lake there lived the young maidens of the Nymphs the beauty of Guendler lake for many ages and many more, no man hasn't seen them without surrendering for his desire for jumping in the lake, they love making a fool from a man for they the beauty of the lake and the goddess of the living being.

Konon was surprised when Uwla started talking about his father he didn't know what to do when he heard the tale that Uwla said, this feeling was confused between terrifying and wondering and exciting or laughing, he didn't know what to say to the man, he was thinking of many thoughts in the same time, that is the man crazy or drink something that made his mind fly away, or maybe he saw one of the young maidens of the lake that made him a fool.

 But he remembers his master lyrics that Uwla  is a very wise man and he saw  The world like no man before him or after him, and especially remember that his master said to him " believe in a very tale that comes from his mouth for he is never lying"

Uwla he stood leaving the fire of the camp to warn his back, his face was watching the lake, Walking  slowly toward  the lake and in the same time he leaned down removing his black boot in the middle of the way, he reached the edge of

The water, he felt the water between the fingers of his hands and feet, Konon did the same removing his boots and gloves and stood on the left side of Uwla to, Uwla stating up leaving his feet in the water standing there with his black hair black as the night that only thing missing to complete the picture is a shining star in his hair, and Konon leaning down to touch the water with his hand.

 Konon looked at him in wonder from the lift side of Uwla, Konon breaks the silence by saying" my master Yvon told me I'm gone have the tale of my life if I journey with you, to tell the truth, I'm still confused for I didn't know I will be a meeting man like you and if what you said is it true it is an honor to meet you, but I don't know why but I still struggling for half of my mind wandering but again my master told me to trust so I Trust you".

Uwla looked at him with his black eyes putting his hand gently and in Konon lift shoulder and saying" your master he was and still good friend of mine we live many tales together, I know him from when he was a young man throwing himself of all kind of trouble and then I come to get him out from his trouble for I did the same and he comes to save me and we start laughing together when we run away at was good years of the alliance" Uwla was smiling and looking to the Moon and it's a twin.

 "Did my master know about your father?" konon Ask.

"Yes I told him the full story for I trust him with my life, we chasing women and drink honey wine until we cannot stand, drinking wine with a good comrade is the best thing you ever do for he breaks many walls" Uwla answered.

 Konon Mark Ermakov is a young lad his hair is brown like the leaf in autumn and eyes green like the grass in the spring, he lived in the town of Beerly south of the Repaiwen Kingdom with his sister Laila and his mother Shila, his father Connor Alfonso Ermakov die when Konon was seven years old from a plague of the year 1028 that it spread in the kingdom that been told that many folks that year die from it,

When Konon reaches the age of 14, his master starts to teach him how to read and write and sword skills, and use magic as well, but after very long talks with his mother for she never wants her son to be adventurous for he was her only son but Yvon successes or put confidence in her son, he told her that her son is a very gifted boy for the venture is already in his blood for someday he will do it so let me prepare him before the day of quest call for him, she been conference for she knew her son desire and he will do it even if she wanted are not, Yvon teach the boy everything he knows and saw in the world to prepare him for the road that he will take someday.

For I know man gifted like him and they change the world from top to bottom and some of them they almost made the three kingdom parish under their feet".

 In the three kingdoms, in the land of Heileman there were nine kingdoms but the three kingdoms the known for their power, knowledge, and size.

 Uwla answer "I am a very old friend of his, I come here to see my friend it's been a long time since saw each other"

 "Who at the door Laila?" Cried Yvon from the garden.

 "There is a man at the door asking for you my lord, and he said his name is Uwla" Laila Answered.
