The First path of

Part 4ish

Marek shutters "Alright I'm convinced, you are whom you say you are how does the dog . . ." Thanatos opens his eye and stares at him "I mean Wolf fit into all of this?" Thanatos smiles wolfishly and closes his eye again.

"I'm not just a Getheoriann, My mother was Lieghas Authoriantle before she married my father."

Marek's eye open wide "Lieghas Authoriantle! She came to my home years ago, during the time that the Vielmoradian Blood Plague was going around. At first everybody that she was like the rest and was coming her to accuses us or plant evidence of us starting the plague, but she wasn't, she and her grandfather were going from village to city to village whipping the plague out. They never asked for money and never cared who you were what race, people, clan, species, or occupation you were it didn't matter to them, they were true healers. Even our best healers who are know across all three rivers and both horizons as some of the best could only select the infected blood and draw it out of people and dispose of it,but they would walk from person to person and flood them with some whitish light that my elder called dragon arclight whatever that means and cured them no matter how are progressed it was!"

Marek leans back remembering the past and smiling a skill not many have now-days.

Marek then looks at me "If you are Lieghas son then tell me who the third member of their party was, please know I'm not doubting who you are I just am from of people who take nothing at a person's word when given the option we much prefer solid proof."

I smile "I know and I agree with you on that point and there were two other members of their party."

Marek who had turned to take a cup of tea from Adrian looked back to me and raised an eyebrow waiting for an explanation.

"The third member of the party was a male, shorter in stature as well as scrawny, carried a voice with him that was low, soft, and rolled over you like a river does stones. He wouldn't have directly helped with the healing, but when one of the others became tired he would come near and they would be able to continue their work as if they had just started."

"Yes, that's exactly how I remember him, especially his voice, it was like a river alright. When a Noble from the house from Arithian approached Lieghas and started trying pressuring her to into a relationship with her using his position as if she was just a commoner, he put a stop to that quickly. I don't remember his actual words, all I remember is that the noble literally ran from him talking. But, that being said I still don't remember a fourth member of their party."

"You wouldn't. I was still in my mother's womb."

Mareks eyes widened "That means . . ."

I smile at him "Yes the man you remember would be my father."

Marek smiled "I knew they had a connection, the village leader just told me not to engage in other people's affairs when I told him. I never expected that that was Arthian Getheoriann traveling with them."

Marek just sat for a moment letting the information sink in and match all of the storys he had heard about my father to his face.

Slowly he just shook his head smiling than replied "OK, I now know whom your parents are, but that still doesn't explain the wolf."

I smile sadly "Yes it does actually. The Authoriantles ,my mothers family, possessed an ability that there are many names for the one which you are familiar with would be The Dragons Arclight. It is an ability with many hidden talents and a number of extremely special properties that most people would have wiped it out if they had know, but anyway the main ability that people know of would be its healing properties. It can heal to the exact same capacity that a White Dragon could whenever such a thing still stalked these lands. It is an amazing ability that granted the Authoriantle line status from a lowly peasant village healer family to the rank of Dragon Noble when the recent line of kings discovered them, though there is a trade off of it is that it takes a massive amount of energy as well as magic to perform it."
