It seemed as if fate had woven a different path for him. He was discovered by a traveling arms dealer who came across Dekkar, as he lay sleeping in his meager bed, with everything around him smoldering ash. This traveling merchant was a resplendent identity of a Chosen of Endings, secretly supplying arms to Cult of the Illuminated cells around the area. Other than the supernatural luck of surviving such a tragic event, he noticed there was something unique about Dekkar as he inspected his fate thread. He could not see all of what he would come to be though. He could only see a small glimpse into the future as he traced his thread and knew that he would be fated for something other than only a mundane mortal life, most likely a life as an exalted. He knew that she could not care for this young child. So he took Dekkar to the next city and dropped him off at the next small city where there was a friendly cell. There, Dekkar grew up in an environment of meager existence but still learned much of Creation and its history from the cell, all the while the Sidereal who rescued Dekkar, monitored him in his free time. | It seemed as if fate had woven a different path for him.

This time, a group of Death Lords had found traces of a Lawgiver who had stayed with the cell in the month prior. They mercilessly attacked the city. Their soulsteel weapons screamed in delight as they slayed anyone they could find. The Death Lords didn’t travel alone though. They had a pack of corrupted and blood-thirsty demons which were under their control. Once again, all were slain or destroyed, except for Dekkar. As Dekkar watched the ruin the Death Lords and demons unleashed upon the city from his hiding spot, he couldn’t help to think what would have happened had a group of Solar exalts been here. “Who was supposed to rid creation of such evil”, he wondered. |

Before doing so, they ordered one of the demons to remain at the grounds of the city in case the Lawgiver returned. Dekkar knew he would not last much longer with no supplies and water. Though he was only twelve, he decided here he would vow to change things. He had seen travelers and outcastes practice martial arts and the styles of war from his time with the Cult of the Illuminated. Those who watched over him there hadn’t started to teach him these practices, but his childhood savior, Nikko the traveling arms dealer, had. He stealthily scrounged around looking for weapon. After crawling over decapitated and horribly disfigured bodies, he came across a sword embedded in a wooden pole. The hilt and part of the blade had a thin layer of black ash upon it with what he could only judge was demon's blood, slowly dripping off the tang. “All things must come to an end, and if so, it will be on my own terms”, he muttered to himself. |
Standing up, blade in hand, he walked towards the demon who was wandering around the ruins of the city, feasting and playing with rotting corpses. The demon paused when he heard the footsteps of a human coming up behind him. A grim smile stretched across the demon’s other worldly face as he turned to face his next treat. What happened that night with the demon, would end up forever changing Dekkar’s life and existence. It was the night of his exaltation. | Standing up, blade in hand, he walked towards the demon who was wandering around the ruins of the city, feasting and playing with rotting corpses.

Once again, Nikko, found Dekkar in the center of ruin and death that seemed to follow the child’s life. This time Nikko could feel the energy of an exalt as he walked up to the body of unconscious Dekkar. Though Nikko had not foreseen the exaltation of Dekkar, he knew now that the fate of the new Sidereal exalt was in his hands. | Once again, Nikko, found Dekkar in the center of ruin and death that seemed to follow the child’s life.

However, few, if any, ever seemed interesting or worthwhile as allies to him. This was the case for Swift. Though he had interactions with Swift in the past, Dekkar never saw more than that in her. She seemed like just another member of the Bureau of Destiny. Dekkar’s opinion of Swift stayed this way until he saw her desire to help exalts in Creation. It was her particular interest and willingness to go out of her way to help exalts that resonated with him. From that point on, Dekkar knew he had found a trustworthy ally in Yu-Shan. It had only taken him just short of two hundred years. |
