Battle Mage Otto of the Dunes (#8482)

Owner: 0xE8fb…e74D

Otto has a rather peculiar history. He grew up in a small village in the deserts of Graka. An only child whom at first seemed pretty normal. But once Otto turned 13 he started noticing strange things happening around him. The first was on his birthday an owl appeared outside his house to greet him as he left to do his chores. He didn’t think anything of it until the owl started following him around hour by hour until he went home for dinner. The next morning when he got up the owl was there once again. After about a week of this he started expecting the owl to be waiting each morning for him. He began to feel a strange connection with the owl. One he could not fully explain. As the days passed he started noticing other strange occurrences. He started to hear a voice. At first it was faint but grew a bit louder as the weeks went on. One night there was a large storm with thunder, lighting, wind, and rain. The voice in his head grew louder and was becoming unbearable. It got to the point he could no longer handle it and he went off in a fit of rage. He woke up the next morning to a part of his village being destroyed by what looked like lighting. He had blacked out and could not remember a thing. His parents, with fear on their faces, sat Otto down. They told him that in his fit of rage power arcs and lighting started emanating from his body. He was uncontrollable and destroyed part of his village. They told him he had been found out on the dunes as a baby many years ago along with 3 books and a note stating to protect you at all costs and not tell you your history until your 13th birthday. They explained he was the last of his kind, the last of his bloodline.

They handed him the first book. It was one on the history of his family. It explained that his father Targan was a great mage that won many battles against the evil that lurked in the world. He was renowned for his magic spells and abilities. In the book he explained how a very powerful demon had been secretly building a dark army. Before anyone knew about his plan he sent his brutish army to pillage and destroy all that they could. His birth mother being killed in the great battle left Otto’s father Targan no choice but to cast a powerful teleportation spell that sent young Otto to a land far enough away the demon army would take a life time to reach.

The second book explained that Apix the Owl was also sent with the boy as his protector. But this was no ordinary owl. Targan bound Otto with the owl. With enough training not only can Otto speak and understand Apix but he can also see what he sees. The book taught him how to train the owl, strengthen their bond and use the owl to increase his magic powers.

The Third book was the biggest and came with an item wrapped in cloth. Uncovering it he discovered a golden bell. When examining the bell he noticed there was something holding the clapper secure so that it would not ring. Reading through the text he discovered this bell was one of his Father's greatest tools. By ringing the bell he could slow time for everyone else but him. It stated how dangerous this could be in the wrong hands and outlined rules one must abide when using the bell. This book was his families generational work on magic spells and incantations. It showed him how to harness energy all around him and use that to his advantage. Since this discovery of his past Otto has devoted his life to mastering the lessons and instructions of each of the 3 books while improving and improvising his own special kind of magic. Each day growing stronger, more powerful and more angry in hopes of one day hunting down and destroying the demon that wiped out his bloodline.
