Kyte Godfrey

Kyte Godfrey (IGN: RelentlessMercer)

Childhood in Heliamet
Kyte had grown up in a great and powerful Kingdom called Heliamet where he was the only child of the King and queen who ruled over it. The citizens of the kingdom adored him, though the Magicians even more so. The reason the Magicians took more of a liking to him was because of his affinity for magic. He was a once in a generation prodigy in all assortments of magics. Kyte had always found magic more exciting than the politics of the kingdom and devoted much of his free time to studying the magic arts. This is one of the main reasons his mother, the queen, wanted him to enroll in the top magic academy in their kingdom. But his father, the king, did not want him to focus so much on the study of magic, as Kyte was the heir to the throne and needed to learn the politics behind running a kingdom and the many other things involved with that.

Kyte had enrolled in the top Magician academy in the kingdom a year later, after his mother did some convincing. He wasn’t strictly going to learn magic like he wanted to because of his father wanting him to be ready in case anything were to happen to him. But he was going to learn both magic and politics equally, though he did secretly study magic more than politics when he wasn’t being supervised. After a single year at the academy, Kyte had managed to not only pass the Senior Magician Exam but, in fact, aced the Exam. His parents were ecstatic about his achievement, but wondered why he even made such a choice to take such a high level exam. He explained to them he had to take chances, and he knew more about magic than even the professors at the school. His father didn’t think he’d make it so far in his studies already and decided that if Kyte wished, he could study magic more whenever he’d like without him intruding. Kyte took up his father’s offer and pursued his studies, further studying the origins of his species’ innate ability to use magic and their attachment to it.

It had been a few years since he had graduated from the academy and he was making progress with his work. From old texts he learned that his species’ connection with magic came from an unknown ancestor who ingested one of the many magical amethysts that surrounded the current kingdom, but from older texts there was no mention about the existence of so many magical crystals. It was as if the ancestor who ingested the magical amethyst crystal may have affected the underground kingdom and made it so that future generations may do the same as he once did. This fascinated Kyte because from what he knew, no one had ingested amethysts after their ancestor had done so. The texts of his current time mentioned that his species gained their magical abilities from the magical energies that irradiated from the crystals out onto the kingdom. This, to him, was troubling. Which was correct? No one really touched the amethysts because of their unknown magical abilities, and they said that one wrong move would set off a chain reaction of different magics that could be catastrophic if the magicians weren’t prepared for that. This would become an obsession to him… From that day forward he would study the amethysts up close himself. Little did he know was that this would alter the course of his kingdom drastically.

Heliamet's New Age
He had been studying the Amethysts he had been collecting for quite a few years, learning their secrets over time and getting yelled at by his father. His father didn’t like the fact that he was extracting the Amethysts from the underground cave walls of the kingdom. His father made sure that no one, not even Kyte, was allowed to extract them. But now here Kyte was doing the one thing his father didn’t want anyone doing right behind his back. Though, after those few years, his father cared less and less about it, seeing how his son wasn’t causing any harm at all. Over these few years Kyte had discovered that the Amethysts did indeed contain magical energy, but it could also interact with runed objects. When an amethyst was set inside of a runed object, it would channel its magical properties into the object, unlocking a multitude of potential uses.

Kyte’s first use of this amethyst integration was for a drill. However, there was a reaction that had occurred destroying the drill with an explosion. This was what his father had feared and his father would tell him that if he didn’t find a way to make sure they didn’t explode again, he’d take all the gems and lock them away so they wouldn’t cause anything like that again. Kyte quickly found a fix for that minor problem. He used his magic to refine the crystal. Once he had finished refining the crystal, it was smaller, but it also contained the same amount of magical energy. After he had done that, he would try the amethyst drill integration again, and this time it worked. The magical energy interacted with the runes, helping to power the drill, and it had also strengthened the drill. He made sure to tell his parents of this achievement and they were both rather happy to know something like that was possible. But he did not give away how he refined the crystal and what magic he had used as to keep this process to himself.

He had made a lot of progress in his work and his work had helped the kingdom progress into a new age. However, he sought something that would push the kingdom further and open up limitless possibilities. This was when he had an idea to combine the crystals. It took a while for him to figure out and he practically had to put shards of crystals together. If he used any larger crystals, it seemed to overreact. After a long while, a few years in all honesty, he had finally completed the construction of this new amethyst. It was larger than normal amethysts, but it also held more power as well. Kyte had made sure that he refined this crystal perfectly so that he could use it in future projects. That future project was came a lot sooner than he had thought, not much changed with this crystal besides the overflowing amount of energy that seemed to come out of it. That was when he got an idea for a power source. This would become the world’s first Magi-Core, a magical reactor core. He had set up this reactor with the help of other magicians and scientists. The runes that were etched into the machinery allowed it to pull out the overflowing energy from the crystal. It was a major accomplishment for the young man, though he wasn’t exactly young anymore. He was almost ready to become King after all.
