Trystan acted quickly and restrained both my father and grandpa before they tried ripping each other apart. The commotion brought out my mother which was very shocked when she heard what happened. My mother is a small woman with blond hair which is braided and hanging on the side of her shoulder. She is currently wearing an apron over her brownish dress. My got a very kind face normally but when she scolded dad and gave grandpa his things and told him to leave and never come back. She had face like demon creature trying to eat their soul. Which scared the crap out of me. I have never really seen her like this.
After Trystan explained that he would take grandpa in for questioning and that he maybe is under influence from some other evil force. He needed some time for his caravan to get here and then they would take him back to Tyrael city. So he asked her if they could stay inside for that period of time. To which she of course agreed.
While we were waiting for Trystan's caravan. Trystan explained ,what had happened to me and his caravan on the way her, to my mother. For which she scolded me harshly too even more so because I was late. She looked at the bandages on my back and brought out her nursing tools. To her suprise she didn't see one burn wound anymore. It already healed from the tincture that Trystan put on me. It didnt even leave a scar! Still I got a big bruise on my cheek from grandpa. So she started looking at that and put some ointment on It. Trystan and my father had something to talk about they didn't stay here the whole time. So I took my chance and asked mother.
"Do I really need to go away? I don't want to. I want to stay here with you mum. We still didn't get through the first learning book." I said with a sullen voice.
"Oh my dear. Sigh. I don't want you to go either. No mother wants that but from what I heard while talking with dad and your father. We don't really got a choice. We don't have the money to break the promise and we are not protected by a powerful noble house. If we still had a king maybe we could bring It before him. Alas the last known heir to the throne of Avantir has died some 100 years ago. Do you still remember what I told you last week about the kingdom that we live in?"
"Of course I do. We live in Silvertree a town east of the capital city of Silverstedt. A weeks travel away from Tyrael City. The holy city. We are currently governed by a council of nobles because we have no king. Though Tyrael City currently has more authority over the region."
"Hmm I didn't expect you to remember all that at once. Good job Thorry!" She begins tussling my head.
" You know while we wait. How about I teach you more about Tyrael City after all we've got an important guest here."
"Sure sounds fun!" She puts me on her lab and brings out a book that I didnt see yet. Its a thick leatherbound book with golden scripture on It. There is a beautiful golden gryphon drawn upon It.
" So Tyrael is the holy city as you already know. It's pretty much the centre point of all religion in our pantheon. The city is known for defending Avantir from outside threats. Tyrael City is ruled by the theocracy and in conjecture with the traders guild. The Logitarium of Evocation and Transmutation, the mage school, also got their archmage in this council to rule. The city was named after an angel that once saved the city from extinction. Nothing is really known about that anymore sadly except that It was a devil plot from the nine hells and that Tyrael was sent by the god of justice and war Tylor to even the odds."
I start to rock in her lap from excitement as she shows me pictures in the book from an angel fighting a devil.
"Did the angel win against the devil? Of course he has too. Aftel all the city was named after him"
My mother starts to smile before telling me.
"No he lost but with his sacrifice a group of heroes managed to defeat the mastermind and banished the army of hell back."
She shows me the next page and picture. Its depicting a group of 6 a human warrior with a shield and burning longsword, an elf with a bow, a dwarf with a huge axe bigger than he himself, another elf a woman with a book and staff in hand, a gnome with a huge flower as a staff and in the background you could see a green guy with two handed mallet a half-orc. They were getting celebrated by a crowd. Flowers and other stuff was thrown to them. Mother continued.
"These people created the structure that is used to this day where the council is held. The great cathedral of the six." She points to the human.
" This is Maxim he is the one who created the order of the templeknights. The first paladin."
