Miellyn's History - written for the Breed guild on 3k

"In the beginning there was the Light.

Between the places where the Light was
and the places where the Light was not,
there flowed the lightning.

Made of pure energy but with direction
and somewhere, buried deep within,
the beginning of purpose.

The time came when others flowed with it,
sometimes in physical form,
sometimes just their thoughts...."


It was nothing more then a legend now, a myth, a story to
tell the children in the evening. When Great-Grandfather
told the story, it felt real, when I pass it on to my
children, it seems nothing more than a tale.

The Tempestas Clan has an old history, so old that most people
have forgotten. Even we don't know when we found the lightning.
The legend says that those that could follow the lightning
banded together and formed clan Tempestas. Our history is
filled with stories of many worlds for we have always been
travelers, and mentally we were always connected by the lightning.

The search for knowlege drove us, but there were some that used
the lightning in anger, aiding those that thirsted for power
and conquest. Most of our clan were peace-loving, as we are today.

After the Vow, the ability to travel was no longer taught to the
children.... but knowledge is too precious to lose. In each
generation those considered trustworthy enough to carry the secret
were trained. Great-Grandfather knew. He passed it to his
daughter... and to me.

Now, with great distances between us, I can only speak with those
of my clan that are left. But, when my children are grown and have
children of their own, it will be my turn to add to the histories.
I will travel the lightning once again in the tradition of our
clan, and find those that are left.

We will be Clan Tempestas once again.
