That morning he had said goodbye to those he had grown up with and thanked his master the Wizard Tybalt. They both knew Rowdan would not return to this place, his place was elsewhere and his purpose revealed in time. That was the way it had worked for generations, this was the way magic was passed down from one generation to the next. Only the worthy were chosen by the wizards to receive this gift.
