Pawn of Prophecy Prolouge

The prolouge is taken from the book of Alorn. A fictional book from this paticular world that is a history of the gods and their people. It begins with a description of the different gods and how they are related to one another. How Aldur was sought after by a child and taught him the will and the word. Aldur named him Belgarath.

Aldur had no people to call his own and so created the orb. Torak stole the orb and misused it. Torak reshaped the land by splitting it apart and letting the waters flood in separating them. The orb seemed to display a conciousness. The orb became angry and burned out his left eye, melting his face and charring his left hand to ashes. From then on he was known as Kal-Torak or One-eye.

Belgarath was sought after by Cherek Bear-shoulders and his sons. They travelled to the tower of One-eye and stole the orb back. Riva Iron-grip was the one to hold onto the orb and not be burned by it. Upon waking Kal-Torak was so upset by his prize being stolen, he laid waste to his tower and city. Making his people wander in the wilderness to form new settlements.

The Angaraks and their god came for Riva Iron-grip and his companions to take back that thing which was stolen from a thief. Riva Iron-grip held out the orb and Kal-Torak fled while parts of his army were consumed by fire. Then the gods left this world in physical form only so One-eye could not find them.

Riva Iron-grip and his brothers separated and formed new people and lands unique for their own. Since Riva could hold the orb he was given the task of keeping it from and evil hands. Esspecialy One-eye. Belar then sent Riva some meteorite ore to froge a great sword with the orb in it's hilt. Only Iron-grip could wield the sword and its awesome power.

Now Belgarath sent his daughter, Beldaran, To be Riva's wife and provide him with children. The new hier would always show a birthmark of the orb on his right palm. Both sisters are committed to protecting Riva and his line. Some say they still watch over them to this day.

At first this prolouge and the way it is written can be confusing. I promise though that by the end of the book it will make perfect sense. Not much else to say since this was just some history and not new story.

Next Chapter One.
