The Unquenchable Flames - Chapter 1

Firebrand of Sythtys

Chapter One

Little is known of the early years of the one known as the Firebrand of Sythtys, Ssanthal. Srryn legends to this day tell that he was born from a magma spewing hole in the earth, in a furious storm of flame and brimstone. This is as good a story as any, considering the immense powers he possessed.

From a young age, he showed extraordinary skill molding the flames to his will. Ruthlessly, he slew his own masters, and whoever stood in his way. Despite his immense power, he was suprisingly benevolent, to what extent a srryn can be. Perhaps his mind had some greater lucid element to it, which gave him such control. He had the rage of the most brutal srryn, but the intellect of a cunning aelin. In all likelyhood, he was aware that not even he could contain the unending bloodlust of the entire srryn race. Thus, the Firebrand of Sythtys was known and feared throughout the land.
