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 Yozi cultist had slowly infected and tainted the cell he was living. By the time Dekkar was able to detect the change within the monks and caretakers of the abode, it was far too late. The Yozi cultist had summoned a demon from reaches of a land beyond imagining, a tainted and evil place called Malfeas. When the demon finished fully forming in the basement of the abode, it took but one look at its surroundings, before slaugthering the cultists who had summoned him. From there the vile and destructive nature of the demon went into overdrive as he unleashed the worst of his tormented soul upon the quiet city. Once again, all were slain or destroyed, except for Dekkar. As Dekkar watched the ruin the mal-formed demon was releasing 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. |
After three days and nights of carnage and destruction, the demon's thirst appeared to be sated. Dekkar knew he would not last much longer with a lack of 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 outside of what used to be a prayer shrine. 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 as he released the blade from its temporary resting place. | After three days and nights of carnage and destruction, the demon's thirst appeared to be sated.
