User:Keldrith
'Keldrith (the player) has been in these lands since Anthos. His most notable characters are Undead Wrath, Monk Yohei, and Elrion Visaj of Haelun'or. Undead wrath was indited into the Iblees Cult in Athera. Accepted into the 'Destruction sect' of the Undead. He killed hundreds. His most remembered day of terror was in Oren, he nearly conqured the city all by himself, killing most of the citizens and wounding the rest with his thunder and massive ichor fireballs. His son, Yohei was born just before he was accepted into the Undead, and granted powers. This young boy was adopted by Alirya Khen'aum, to be sent to the Wilven Sanctuary when he was the small age of Five. He became accepted as a Monk at six years old. He did mostly tedious scribe work for his entire childhood, only leaving the temple to educate people on the Triumvirate throughout the lands. When he turned sixteen, he connected with the Sun, otherwise known as Keldrith of the Sun. Since that day, he has wandered the land with the title 'The Wandering Monk'. He has a never ending wish, to save more people than Undead Wrath killed, and is still working towards that goal 450 years after his acceptance into the Wilven Sanctuary Monks.
The Story of The Wandering Monk
The Sun broke the horizon in Athera, and the god rays cut through the dense moistened air. Young Yohei Khen'aum was already getting ready for his first day of Monk training at Ramza Mantisuku's Home by the Big Tree Tavern. His adoptive mother Alirya put together his uniform and tightened his blindfold. The tiny blind boy shot out the door, grabbing his wooden branch he used for walking, but only held it at his side as he made for full speed down the grand Athera Highway. After bumping into many close friends, and strangers, with great excitement the young Yohei eventually made it to The Cloud Temple. He cut to the side road, kicking up much dust as he sprinted to the Altar to meet with his beloved teacher, Spike Vondar. Spike to Yohei was already turning out to be a fatherly figure Yohei had yearned for in the past, and a very wise master of the Triumvirate.
"Mister Spike! Yohei reporting for my first day of real training!" The young blindfolded boy turned to face a closeby tree, and saluted it with the straightest posture.
"Over 'ere Yohei!" Spike shouted at the strange boy from a distance, chuckling to himself behind the altar. "'e have a big day today, Yohei."
The young elf rushed to the altar, and faced his teacher with a curious look crossing his face. "It took me all week to meditate through your cold water tricks! Now what..?"
Spike walked from behind the altar "You will have a vision..", he took the young boy's wrist. Yohei is slightly surprised, but followed his teacher into the Temple, regardless of not knowing what exactly a vision was. Inside the Temple, the young boy sat between three stones placed on each side of him. Lapis Lazuli, Gold, and Pure Diamond, To both Spike and Yohei this represented the trinity in which they believed, the Triumvirate. Simply Spike instructed; "Meditate." And then left the temple. Leaving Yohei completely alone. This took a moment to register in the young boy's head. He decided to follow the instructions however, and crossed his legs, gripping both his knees slightly, keeping his hands in place there. His breathing slowed down, and that was what he focused on, nothing else.
Many hours strained the young creative mind, Yohei in the back of his thoughts wanted to leave, and wanted to go home. But He was scared to, thinking if he did he may not be able to return to the Monks and try again. He figured something would happen if he waited long enough, so he continued. As the morning quickly turned to night, Yohei remained sitting in the temple, unmoving and silent. The night became dark, and Yohei cold. The Robe was light, and provided little protection from such conditions. He understood now the struggle the Monks had in store for him. He understood it was not a fun job, but a mentally challenging job. One that would constantly put him through pain, and struggle. These ideas became understood in his mind completely, and he began to challenge the cold, and the dangers of the night, trusting in the wards of The Cloud Temple for his safety during his mental adventure.
The Night was long, and Yohei's struggles only continued. However soon, the sun would break the horizon once again. As this happened, in the depths of his meditation, Yohei heard a soft voice. It was quiet, and speaking like it did not want to be heard. However the more he focused, and wanted to hear, the louder the voice became. And it said with a very humbled, male voice;
"Yohei, you will be chosen for a great destiny. The Monks will need your guidance, Keldrith's light is upon you now. Use this wisely, for these words are greater than any magics we can provide you. For the light is your strength now, your faith in me will be all you need."
This was strange for the boy, and it took him some time to register. But he noticed something else that only shocked him more. In the deep darkness, he spotted a faint light. As if it was calling to the young boy, blinking to entice him. The light remained after the voice stopped speaking, for only a few moments while Yohei looked with awe. The light soon faded however, and once Yohei understood this is what he had been waiting for, he stood up slowly with broad shoulders. He raised his blindfold to his forehead and opened his eyes wide. He felt a strange hand on his shoulder as he did that, and jumped slightly.
"Ye did vereh well. Now, 'e have some more training to do. But we'll save that for tomorrow aye?" The Abbot Spike grinned down at the young apprentice, proud of his student's success.
"Aye." Yohei stood there as spike walked off, still soaking in the event that had just occurred for a moment. Eventually, he bolted off to tell his mother.
