Oda Potentia

Oda Potentia

A child disowned by his own father, he lived through a tough up-bringing. Oda’s mother died in childbirth and due to this his father, Cassiath dem Spheniscidae blamed her death on Oda. Cassiath gave his second son away to a shady character he had known a long time ago in exchange for a bit of gold; pocket change.

Oda’s childhood was lived in the land of Agnarian. Oda grew without knowing of the separation from his father and half-brother Cassius dem Speniscidae. Oda’s new father taught him the way of the sword and by the age of 12 he had become an astounding fighter. He was a force to be reckoned with inside of his town. He spent his time training and learning, he was well trained and intelligent, two things that make up a dangerous person.

Oda’s new father came to him one day, pulled him aside and had a firm look upon his face. He tells Oda that he was not his real father. He told Oda of what had happened and how he intended to tell him earlier of this but had grown attached to him. He told Oda that his real Mother had died while birthing him and that his father blamed his death on Oda. He told Oda of how his real father had died in battle but his half-brother Cassius dem Speniscidae still lived and had moved to another land.

Oda left his home to find his brother taking with him his sword and some money to keep him going. The journey took him 2 years to arrive at the land promised to him by his adopted father. Oda stood at the giant front doors of the castle and an armoured man came to meet him, with a halberd in hand. He asked Oda of his reason to be there, suspicious as there had been a lot of goings on in the past few weeks. Oda requested to see Cassius and the man went inside, later returning and opening the doors to let Oda inside.

The Castle was vast and grand and at the end, a huge throne, seated in it, Cassius dem Spheniscidae. “You request to speak with me?” Cassius announced

“Yes, sire, I have news to tell you.” Oda told him

“Then speak it boy!”

“Yes sire, Well, You may not know this but I am actually your half-brother. Your father, well, our father, paid a man to take me away from him. I am here now, as your brother. I want to start our family again.”

“DO YOU TAKE ME FOR A FOOL? CEASE THIS MAN AND HAVE HIS TONGUE CUT OUT SO HE MAY NEVER LIE AGAIN!” Cassius bellowed. Oda’s face dropped as the guard that let him in grabbed him by the arm.

The doors burst open and a magenta figure entered into the room. “He is telling the truth,” Gus exclaimed, “This boy is your brother, I know, I was there when it happened. I couldn’t tell you, your father made my promise not to tell you.” Cassius stood up and walked to Gus and slapped him in the face, then walked to Oda and embraced him. “My brother!” Cassius shouted to all around.

“We are no longer the dem Speniscidae family any longer, we will move forward as a new family, a family of power. The family of Potentia!”
