The Witch Boy

*Description here ~ Zach*

Hundreds of years ago, a small settlement on the east coast of the United States, though this town far preceded the country's succession from Great Britain; this settlement was known as Roanoke. Though it was a prosperous area with fertile land and favorable weather, it was not acquired without conflict. The tribe native to that land had been forced out, stripped of their homes and brutalized in the process, they developed a boiling hatred for the people of Roanoke. On October 16, in the year 1637, the native tribe clashed with Roanoke in a bloody battle initiated by the English settlers in an effort to expand their town further and take advantage of surrounding natural resources. The people of Roanoke emerged victorious from their battle, but this was the last straw for a number of the Natives. One such native was a homo-magi, capable of utilizing magic, and though he wasn't incredibly powerful, years of preparation and a complex ritual allowed him to accomplish a great mystical feat.

He casted a spell which banished Roanoke and all of its people to another dimension, leaving nothing behind, as if the town had simply vanished. Indeed, there were no signs of violence -- nothing but a single word burned into the trunk of a tree, far higher than a man could reach. The word in question was simply "Croatoan".

### A New Land

The town of Roanoke and all of its inhabitants were transported to a realm known as Limbo, a halfway point between hell and the mortal plane of existence. There they were trapped for what seemed like an eternity, forced to adapt to this dangerous dimension. Many generations passed and existing in Limbo for such an extended period of time began to change the humans into something else. Their skin became a pale blue and their eyes developed a piercing yellow hue. And they developed a penchant for magic, growing more powerful as time went on. Due to their complete isolation, the people of Roanoke failed to advance much socially or technologically, restricting them to a temporal stasis.

Klarion was born into Limbo-Town centuries after its banishment. He grew up in a sort of perverted version of Puritania, where necromancy was common (and in fact was a vital staple of the local industry) and every witch-man, witch-woman and witch-child had their own draaga, or familiar. His true father having disappeared years earlier, Klarion always suspected there was a world beyond, but was vigorously discouraged from asking questions by the strict Submissionary Judah. However, the boy was naturally curious and demanded answers. After thorough investigation, Klarion discovered the reason for his father's disappearance. Hidden beneath his home he found a secret where his father had been working on a method to escape Limbo and return home; unfortunately he'd come too close and this resulted in his hasty elimination.

Klarion decided to continue his work, but just as he reached a solution to the ritual's biggest problem, he was discovered and thrown into prison. There he was held as they prepared for his execution. This is where he met Teekl, and the two bonded almost immediately. Working together, they escaped the prison and managed to perform the ritual which would allow them to escape Limbo-Town. However the spell was incomplete and sent them to a random dimension each time they performed it. For countless years they lived like this, hopping from one dimension to the next once they got bored, causing chaos wherever they roamed. Time worked differently in the 31st dimension they visited, but it was fun so they stayed for far longer than usual, though spending too much time there changed Klarion irreparably. He became locked, both physically and mentally, at his current age. For the rest of his existence, he would remain twelve years old.

Eventually he made his way to the primary Earth, where his ancestors were from. It was the most technologically advanced dimension he'd ever visited, so he decided he'd stay a while. He was sure it'd be loads of fun!
