Subject     Son of a Knight

Uther's father, Yugar, was never at
home. When he was younger his mother,
Kalinia, would tell him that he was a
merchant that always traveled and
never stopped. The boy thought that he would
never see him again, but all
that changed when Yugar came home on his sons 16th
birthday. His father
didn't dress like a merchant; he dressed as if he was a
knight. This
surprised Uther very much. 

"Father, why do you dress like a
knight?" Uther asked.

Yugar glared at Kalinia, and then turned back to Uther.
"I am not what your
mother said I was, nor do I want to know what she told you,
but it's time
for me to tell you your destiny, son. I also want to tell you that
I
apologize for not being there when you were young. Hopefully what I tell
you
on the monumental day will give you understanding of why I couldn't be
here
with you and your mother." Yulgar gestured for Uther to sit, and he
did.

"So I will come out and say it, I am a knight, but not just any knight,
a
knight of Solamnia." Uther's eyes widened. He had heard of these knights
and
the good that they do for people. "I can tell by your expression that
you
have heard of the Solamnic knights? Well, what you might not know is that
I
told your mother on the night of your birth, that once you were of age,
you
would join me, along with the many other brave knights, in Solamnia, to
help
defend against the evils of the world." 

Uther had no response to this. He
sat there thinking and thinking. "Would I
still be able to see mother?"

"Yes
you would, and you would make the family proud. You know that if you
look at our
family history, every male child has been in a Solamnic knight
since The Age of
Dreams. You could be-are going to be the next one in the
family being the only
male left in our family."

Uther pondered some more and said, "Okay I'll do it.
I will train to become
the next knight of Solamnia, like father, and his
father's before him."

"Excellent, everyone will be so pleased! So go get your
things packed and
ready to go. We leave in one hour," said Yulgar proudly. Uther
ran to his
room threw what he needed into a bag, then kissed his mother bye, and
left
with Yulgar to become a Solamnic Knight.
