The Beginning - The Quest - E-book - ePub

As a young boy, Rene watched as his mother was murdered by two men paid by a wealthy man who had raped her. This man knew his father would disown him if he found out a girl his son raped had given birth to a bastard son. Rene was raised by an old man who seemed never to age. Joseph had told Rene of his son, his first son, and how this son was killed by men who feared losing power. Rene watched as Joseph taught him to work with his hands and listened when Joseph spoke of the bible and his first son.
Rene would become angry when Joseph said of his mother. Rene knew Joseph was right when he told him how she had loved him. When Rene was seventeen, Joseph told him he was dying and that a man was coming to take him to see his brothers. Rene looked at the door when someone knocked on it; slowly, Rene opened it to a giant of a man. Josephus stood in the rain looking down at Rene; he stepped into the tiny house and went to kneel at Joseph's side."You will go with Josephus.
He is your brother. He will finish training you for what is to come." Joseph said before he died. That night, Rene started his new life with a man he didn't know, a man bearing terrible pain and hiding a horrid curse.
