[No order, and as this does not really apply to the main story, this can be posted out of order with that.]

"Well then, I leave you to your work. Be sure it does not impede my own."

At the command, Kon left rather quickly, headed toward the library. Along the way, he played his favorite game; mutter about torture and see how many guards wet them. His record was about three, but most did not have good enough hearing, and the ones that did happened to enjoy it most of the time. Not. Fair.

Upon reaching the library, which was mostly empty as usual, he quickly picked out several books dealing with legends and prophecies. Remembering a childhood tale, used to break children by filling them with hope only to have it taken away, he looked at one of the many books describing his lord’s rise to power. Flipping over to the end, he preformed a slight skim till he found what he was looking for.

And the five elves challenged Valcenz, fighting over a period of time lost to current men. For the purposes of this book, we will assume it took a single decade for the fight to stop. When the inevitable end came to be, Valcenz banished the elves from Pangea, believing that the banishment would destroy them from inside out.

There are rumors of a curse, and no one found knows the exact wording. In the event that the curse exists, the only interpretation is that five elves of will and determination will gain the powers of the five who originally challenged Valcenz. It can only be assumed that they would hold some grudge against Valcenz, though I have not been able to determine what it would be.

It can be assumed that a close person being killed by Valcenz himself or by proxy can fill this requirement. It can also be possible that it would be completely random, though this would imply poor planning on the part of the banished elves, as the chosen ones could be loyal to Valcenz. A bit of interesting information would be that it never states if they would even make it to Valcenz, or if they do who would win.


Frowning in that his lord was not referred to as normal, he checked the author. Sighing at the name, that of a convicted rebel, a single thought came to mind.

'Rebels.'

Though it was most likely propaganda, it was the only lead that Kon had, and the others looked to be mostly children’s books, none dealing with anything that could be harmful in the public view of his lord. Teach them the truth from the cradle, and they will hold that as the truth no matter what.
