Chapter Eleven

Lazur was born the seventh son of a nobleman on the southern outskirts of the Zentha kingdom. But, as the seventh and youngest son, he received little of the inheritance. His eldest brother took much of the land after their father died, and while his other brothers became soldiers or merchants, he was convinced he was destined for more. Ambition drove him to travel and to research. He learned everything he could about the world, especially magick. He met several weak mages along his journeys who told him tales about the seventh sons of seventh sons: Nanthar and Kierthak.

That moment directed the rest of his life.

He focused his research on Nanthar and Kierthak. He read at the great libraries around Karishian, and spoke with traveling merchants, bards, weak mages, and sorcerers. He realized he had half the puzzle already figured out: he was a seventh son. This idea gave him power and purpose. He could do something his brothers could not: he could bring a seventh son of a seventh son into the world. He could create a powerful mage—and through that child, dominate and shape the world to his design.

He met Matylde during one of these journeys, as he spent time in a great library to the south. She was ambitious herself: having never been born with magick, she began the dangerous journey to steal it from others. This path had consequences, but she was willing to pay them as her thirst for power rivaled Lazur’s own.

Their attraction was immediate and Lazur saw a way to use her. She saw this as a way to gain power she never had. She was born to poor, beggar parents and strived to become more than her origins. She ran away from home at a young age and did what she had to do to survive. Blinded by love and ambition, she followed Lazur and did whatever he told her to do.

Lazur eventually settled and bought a farm. He married a weak-willed female, Amylin, since her family often had many children. He wanted a breeder. Matylde brewed potions that made it impossible for Amylin to have daughters. With each birth, Lazur became more desperate, more impatient. Where he had once only been ambitious and manipulative in the beginning, he became violent and cruel. He began to feel the power before the task was done.

As a result of her stealing and use of magick, Matylde was unable to have children. That is, until Lorelei was born. For Matylde, her daughter was a miracle. She was born right after Olyvre and a few months before Morgorth.

Everything changed once Morgorth was born. Lazur began to distance himself from Matylde and spent more time with his family, waiting for Morgorth to grow old enough to train. Lazur decided he no longer needed Matylde, confident he could train his son without help or interference. He was now so bent on gaining power, he couldn’t fathom sharing it with anyone—even one who had proven loyal.

Matylde finally confronted Lazur at her home one night about his distance, about their deal.
