A Summoner's inheritance
is a power greater than magic. With rings of channeling,
Summoners call forth demons
and golems, supernatural servants and elemental
creatures. Summoners have
toppled empires and challenged gods. They are venerated
as saviors and feared as
destroyers. The chosen are born with a mark on one hand,
but the origins of this
gift were forgotten long ago. Joseph, one such summoner, fears
his power more than death
itself. As a child, Joseph tried to save his village from attackers,
but the demon he summoned
slaughtered the villagers while Joseph watched in horror,
his misguided heroics causing
the deaths of those he loved. Exiled and ostracized,
Joseph vowed never to summon
again. |
