The Fortunetelling Wizard

<p>Legends and common knowledge don't always agree but when it comes to wizards the facts are not so far from the stories.</p><p> </p><p>Both say that tunics are made from wild magic. Both say that a len who catches tames and puts on a tunic is a wizard. And both say that a wizard is named and known by his deeds. Take Duin the Fearless or Bjarne the Vengeful as examples.</p><p> </p><p>My name is Hol and I am a wizard of the kingdom of Dar.</p><p> </p><p>Though this is true what name will come from my deeds is yet unknown.</p><p> </p><p>From the time I was young my mother said I would be known as Hol the Proud. The Queen once called me Hol the Loyal. The other wizards of Dar call me Hol the Upstart. Most times I fear I will be remembered as Hol the Failed.</p><p> </p><p>My tunic has its own opinions about what I should be called.</p><p> </p><p>In fact my tunic has opinions about everything.</p><p> </p><p>If it has its way I will be known as Hol the Fortunetelling Wizard.</p><p> </p><p>But there hasn't been a fortunetelling wizard in Dar in over eight hundred years and because I didn't actually catch or tame my tunic I fear even more that I might not even be a wizard at all.</p><p> </p><p>I want to prove my mother wrong.</p><p> </p><p>I want to prove the other wizards wrong.</p><p> </p><p>And most of all even if my tunic ends up being right I hope I prove myself wrong as well.</p>
