ALTOR: The Shadow Rebellion (The Chronicles of Ageron) dull and uneventful would surely leave me with more thinking time than I’d like. The rulers of our land are given the name Altor, and consist of all members of seven separate family groups that are direct descendents of the very first Altor elected to govern our land. It’s much like a royal family, only there are seven of them. My family is one of those seven. I am an Altor. Not only do I possess the responsibility of protecting my people, I have the added responsibility of governing them when I become of age. In three years to this very day, on my eighteenth birthday, I will become an active member of the Altor, and will be required to attend these boring meetings my grandparents so often visit Sægon for. As an Altor, I will be responsible to make sure all Guardians are fulfilling their obligations, and will be required to uphold the law of our land; the many laws my ancestors had helped to create. Although a daunting prospect, there is comfort in knowing that Altor are said to be amongst the most powerful of our kind. Something I am yet to see for myself. ‘Don’t let me stand in the way of your fun,’ I say sarcastically. ‘Try and stop us,’ my grandfather says, prompting a slight pause. ‘No, seriously. Please stop us.’ I can’t help but laugh. I know the meetings are dull, and I know my grandparents would rather be at home with me today, but we all know how important they are to all of Ageron. My grandparents stand, and leave the dining room for the kitchen with their empty teacups. I am left alone for a few short moments, but am joined once more as they return to the dining room. As they return, they both approach me and offer a hug, before whispering a final ‘happy birthday’ in my ear, and walking to the opposite side of the room, where they turn and face me. ! 19"
ALTOR: The Shadow Rebellion (The Chronicles of Ageron) ‘Don’t you have too much fun while we’re gone,’ my grandmother says with her trademark smile. ‘I’ll try,’ I add jokingly. Before I have a chance to do or say anything more, a gentle breeze fills the room, and my grandfather offers a wink before his entire body is replaced with nothing more than a bright, blue light; one that complements the colour of his eyes, and illuminates every corner of the dining room we stand. The shape of the light still matches that of his body, but it is beginning to reduce in size, as though sucking itself in at his chest. With each progressing moment the light is drawing itself inward, now becoming no more than a diminishing glow of light hovering unaided in the air, continuing to decrease in size as it progresses inward. In less time than I have to realise what is happening, the entire glow that has replaced my grandfather has become nothing more than a ball of blue light, still hovering of its own accord in the air. With a soft slurping sound, the light is sucked out of the air, removed from it as though being sucked in by a vacuum cleaner, leaving nothing behind but the empty space my grandfather had stood only seconds before. Although I’ve witnessed an envelishment many times before, and perform it almost daily myself, it is still a concept that I find absolutely remarkable. Not all of my kind has the ability to envelish, but those of us who do are able to roam freely between both Ageron and Earth. Those who lack the ability to envelish are unable to leave Ageron, and are forced to remain within it for life. Our envelished form, or how our envelishment looks from the outside, depends on what Ageronian species we are. All Sorcerers take form of light, one that complements the colour of our eyes, but other species can simply vanish, or are replaced with a shadow. This makes it easy for us to identify who it is that is ! 20"
