Mafro & Sakic

Mafro and Sakic


Preface - (pre-Shadows of the Mind)

Let it be known that on the sixth Day of Death, in the month of Death, the being known as Malice, the most powerful of the Conjurors, disappeared without notice, from the fabled city of Gothos. It was at this time a meak student of the magic arts named Sakic stumbled through the lands. He traveled looking for answers and knowledge. He was weak to the powers at the time. After visiting the port city of Rhenwyn Sakic decided to go north to visit King Duncan. The trip was not that long and the road was not rough.

Sakic did not expect any problems. Little did he know that the most powerful of the sadistic warriors stood outside of the gates of Rhenwyn. It was the one they called Jig! He was well known in these parts as cruel and would kill anyone who left the protection of Gothos. He killed all that walked and never showed mercy. Jig roamed about and his sole purpose in life was to destroy all that lived and to harm those that left Gothos. Sakic, being like most, bored of the stale Gothos life decided to try his luck with other parts of the world. His luck was bad luck. Jig showed no mercy and quickly with one swing of his mighty sword slayed Sakic in cold blood. "Fools...I told you not to go outside of Gothos! I rules the lands! Muahahaha!" Jig gloated. And with that he moved on to his next victim.

Sakic was not dead but severly injured by Jig's sword. He prayed to the ancient and now dead God Mobi for his life. The next day Sakic, now almost dead, was awakened by a strange voice. "Little man, are you ok?" said Me (known now as Mafro). After seeing Sakic's wounds, Me, being a huge troll warrior, picked Sakic up and carried him all the way back to the healers of Rhenwyn.

Me stood by Sakic while the healers cured his deep wounds. "Who...Who are you?"asked Sakic still barely cognigant. Sakic was surprised to see this huge Troll standing over him. "I am Me. I meet you gladly. You are too small. Jig is big. Jig is evil. He almost kill you," exclaimed Me. "Thank you sir Me for saving my life. I am forever in your debt." "Welcome. I help those who need to be helped." And with that Sakic and Me travelled together. Me eventually was glad Sakic with him for he was now becoming proficient in the magical arts and Me needed that kind of power with him to thwart the forces of evil.
