--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It was a windy day in the Vale when one of the Halflings returned from his journey to find himself with a new task and a new name"
The Day was coming to an end as the one called Ephetic entered into his home town of The Vale and was greated with not only excitement but also a kind of eerie fear.
"My son what has happened to the name given to you at birth", asked Bambin, the father of this wanderer,"I do not know of this name that you now hang as your birthen."
"Father, I have been on journeys and adventures to talk about for Seasons to come but of my name is the most important.

I was in a place called "The Glades" I recall, Yes Surefall Glades. What a place of beauty Father all the warmth and water and wonderfull trees. But alas not a one of my stature there. I was approached by an man named Hager Sureshot.
"My little friend, what brings you so far away from your home", asked Hager.
"I am on a life quest to find my goals and position in Karana's great plan", replied Ephetic.
"Ahhh so you seek to find your profession in this world and you think that this place might help you?", answered Hager.
"Actually my tall friend I have not a reason for coming here accept I was being chased by a very angry skeleton and this was the closest escape route", Ephetic announced with a chuckle.

At no more than a whisper of time a rather young looking Half-Elf ran into me and asked me to follow him. For some reason I would not follow any strangers into the abyss of unknowing but this one seemed different almost like a brother, so I bid Hager good eve and headed off with the Half-Elf.
"Friend I must employ you for a great task none can fullfill accept you. My name is Ephetic Willowwalker, son of Ephesian WillowWalker. My life is soon to come to an end but I wish not for my name to be forgotten. I ask you little one, go pray to your Karana and asked for a gift to be bestowed on you and your people.
For only one such as me may take this task.", the half-elf stated.
"I am confused. What must I do that gives me such a feeling of urgency, even when I know nothing of what you speak?", Ephetic astonished spoke.
"I ask you to take my place in this world, my Father has debts that are coming to haunt me and I was spoken to to hand down my standing and place to one that does not belong in where I see him. And my friend as soon as I layed eyes on you, it was final. You must take my name and my Ancestor's bag and take charge as a Ranger in the protection of Karana.", the half-elf said, "You must believe me friend for it is a final descision to make, or my trials are for nothing."

I accepted this strangers offer and was touch by Karana and my name was suited and also a tingly feeling filled my body and suddenly I felt my place was set in this world but as of yet did not realize what had happened.
As I picked up my head to ask the stranger a question, he was gone. Hager approached me with a smile so wide I have not seen in a long time.
"So I am guessing that went rather well my little friend, or shall I say Ephetic, Storm Reaper of Karana and Ranger of RiverVale." , Hager stated.
A smile touch my face, "I am a Ranger? How could this be, how could this happen?", I replied.
The man laughed with a deep chuckle. "Little one do not question the Gods for they will not tell you your path only lay it for you. But you have been given a gift and a strong name so use it well. Now is the time to head to your home and begin your tasks at hand." Hager answered with a bow and wave farewell.
I am not claiming to be the reason this has been given to my kind as a gift of the Guild of Rangers, I am only a product of this gift.
As the Halfling named Ephetic, Storm Reaper of Karana, Ranger of the Vale finished his tale to his Father and others that had gathered around, his Father had a tear drop from his eye.
"My Son, from birth your mother and I knew a great calling was to be placed on you and know all we can do is bask in Karana's Glory that it has come. Take care Son and use your gifts well for you will go far." , his father then hugged the little Halfling and headed to his hobble.

Not really knowing where to start Ephetic began to wander aimlessly around the Vale until he was hailed by a women he shall never forget by the name of Mixxi. This women offered him his new life and family for reasons only the Gods know. But Ephetic accepted and agreed to join his new family and work for the greatness of his new family.
As he layed down for the night of sleep to come, Ephetic smiled, "Ephetic, Storm Reaper of Karana, Ranger of the Vale, Little one of his new Family of Saga. I shall strive for greatness for my family, my parents, and for all Halflings to follow.
"The glory of life has been bestowed on me a name, a place, and a Family what more could one ask for. Saga I thank you and we shall be great together and all shall know that this is a greatness destined from above, Sleep well all who have seen this scroll and all that have heard this story, we shall all fight aside one another for many seasons to come. I bid thee Good Eve."
