(Now about Erith Gase)
Erith was born before the sail to the Isles of Valior on a full moon. He was however born into the cult side of the family and on that night his lunatic (haha) parents praised Hugh’s name till their voices were lost. The better of the family had rumors that the crazy side of the family was going to sacrifice the babe to Hugh in some necromantic ritual. Instead of letting these savages kill the baby boy, they instead sneaked into the ritual grounds of Hugh Gase and took the baby from the grasp of his approaching doom. The barbarian parents did not name the child, so it’s rescuers named him Erith, similar to the word Erase. This name was given to him because he was to erase the family’s occultic lifestyle and take in a productive one.
Erith was always fond of building materials, either it be bricks or books, and he would build elaborate structures in his youth. Probably his most interesting construction was a tiny little water mill just so he can watch it spin. This inspired the little boy, nothing brought him more pleasure than watching his contraptions move on their own. He named his water mill Spiny, for it’s rotating arms, and all other independently moving objects he would name after Spiny in succession (Spiny I, Spiny II, etc..).
Erith’s uncle Gustav was a banker, and as a banker knew a good share of mathematics. Gustav saw Erith’s inspiration and drive to create, and to propel the boy down his bright path, he taught him math. Erith at first did not find math appealing, but as time went on he saw that by using math, he can simulate scenarios of his creations. With this new found skill Erith could build more advanced structures, by explaining the magnitudes of their movements, and then apply that knowledge to expand upon the creation.
After recreating Spiny after Aunt Laura sat on it, Erith figured out how much force per pound second (using a sundial and then converting the time to seconds) he could create more structures which Spiny could be attached to. This could be, a wheat grinder, or perhaps a mixer of fine grains or liquids, or even a chair that would rise and fall for amusement. However Spiny had to undergo some major changes in it’s design by making it much larger that before to provide more energy.
One night his mother Clara told him a story about how the stars saved the lives of his ancestors by helping them navigate the seas of the world. Erith simply asked his mother, “How? Did the stars talk to them?”, Clara smiled at his silly question, and explained how the star’s positions were used to travel the seas effectively. Erith had a confused look on his face, “Well why can’t the stars tell us where to go? They can see everything from up there!”. Clara simply responded that if the stars could speak, they would tell us a lot more than just where to go. This has always stuck to Erith, what powerful knowledge did the stars hide from us? Are they even hiding it from us? Are they trying to show us it but we don’t understand?
So Erith worked tirelessly day and night, thinking that the moon was the biggest star in the sky, and with that in mind he turned to the sun dial. He used the sundial to track the shadow left by the moon’s light on full moons. He was confident that by recording where the shadow was on each full moon he could perhaps see a secret message within the data! Instead he got more garbage that only left him with more questions.
Gastov, being the watchful banker he is, would see Erith every night fight against his mother’s whims to go to sleep just to look at the moon. Gastov had no knowledge in the field of astronomy, but he did know of a man who had cylinder shaped tools which can be used to see far distances. So one day, Gastov bought a “telescope”, so the man called it, and gave it to Erith as a birthday present. Erith was ecstatic and hugged Gastov before running off to look at random things with the telescope. Then the next upcoming full moon Erith held his telescope up, and aimed it to the lofty heavens determined to scry upon its hidden secrets. All he saw from the moon however was very hard to distinguish lines on it’s surface. This however excited Erith, for never has he gotten anything else from the moon besides a load of shadows and dim light.
Erith examined the telescope, wondering if he could construct an even better one. He concluded that he needed much larger lenses, but when he went off to discover these components, he encountered it’s dauntingly high price. How was he suppose to accumulate such a massive wealth? A wealth that no one in his family had, or could ever dream of having! Faced with such an impossible feat, Erith brought his quest of the celestial knowledge to an end.
For the next few years Erith was apprenticed by Gastov for the skill set of banking, and from here Erith grew a stronger character for himself, as he talked to more strangers. He saw, and studied Gastov speaking to those who wished to loan money from the bank. After a longer duration of time, he saw the little games for money and power man wished to grasp for just even a little amount of time. Erith would have dismissed the possibility of pursuing such goals, did he not remember of his childhood dreams of uncovering the secrets of the cosmos, and how wealth limited him from his dreams. Power and wealth was the key to his dreams!
And so Erith played the game, and he out weighed the fact of gaining wealth over the well being of others. His blind stubbornness continued to ruin the lives of several people who then drowned in the hands of debt. His family gained from this, as Erith brought more money and food to the family table. When asked how he acquired such a great amount of wealth Erith simply said “I work hard at the bank, and so I get rewarded.” Gastov saw the sinister change in the boy, and fear for his own position.
One day Erith saw her, a beautiful girl of his late adolescent age at seventeen. She had blue eyes and white hair that reminded him of pure starlight, and his childhood dreams. He then realized that the satisfaction of developing his self accumulative wealth at the bank consumed him and torn him away from his original ambitions. Then, as he went to look at the price of how much his project would cost he saw that he would need to exploit more people to get what he desired. So one day a starved peasant man came in to acquire a new loan, which Erith set him up for, and deceived the ilterate man to agree to a contract that did more harm than good to him. His wealth was eventually acquired, and so he could begin his project.
He thought however, that before he should begin the project, he should return to Elissa, the girl which reminded him of the starlight he chased after in his youth. He arrived to their usual meeting location, but she never arrived. Something had happened, she always would atleast visit on her way home from the farms her father owned. Worried, Erith ran down the road to find her house empty, devoid of the livestock, and grain accumulated from the last harvest. Inside he saw the starved corpses of the farmer man he deceived, his wife, and Elissa who shivered, unable to move from her spot.
Erith ran to her side, and asked what had happened while tears dripped from his eyes. Elissa stared off to nothingness, as if feeling death approach. With the last bit of energy she had left she said, “They took it all, the bank, they took all of it.”, and with that she died in the harms of Erith, her killer. Erith laid her down to the ground, unable to accept the reality he has made. So he ran home, and locked himself away into his room, denying all contact from the outside world. His mother eventually convinced him to come out to eat now and then, but he vowed to never return to the bank, for reasons unknown to everyone else.
Then came the shooting star that night, which whispered the descendants of Aegis to embark beyond the horizons of the high seas to the Isles of Valior. Erith swore he saw Elissa’s face within the comet, and felt some sort of aura from it, forgiveness. So he, his sane part of the family, and most descendants of Aegis did as the mysterious voice, and loaded onto boat to cross the unknown seas.
The family could not bring their wealth on board, and so when they landed times were hard on them, and Erith felt what it means to starve, just as Elissa once did. Erith once tasted power, and now he had none, a feeling which he couldn’t bare. He then thought to himself, “If I am a man who pursues his dream, who is but a little girl to stop me?”, and so he forgot of Elissa. The next day after his seemingly instant change in mind he returned to the banking world, and planned to accumulate the wealth he once had.
Gastov, now also back to square one, saw that his nephew, the only true competition had returned, and so with every bit of willpower he had within him framed Erith of breaking bank regulations. So Erith was stripped of his titles, by the man he thought he could trust most. At this moment he saw, not to let others make him weak, not even a starving girl whom he once loved. He took his telescope, his smaller version of Spiny, and enough food to travel to the next town and left the homestead. The feeling of leaving the circle of safety reminded him of Hugh Gase, and how that he was also betrayed by men close to him. He was to be the next Hugh Gase, he was to follow his dreams, and speak to the stars.
