Jason agreed to Pelias’ terms and began to prepare for the voyage. He commissioned the architect and shipbuilder Argos to build him a vessel with fifty oars. Once finished, the ship was far superior to any other of its time. It was also very fast, which was why it was called Argo (argos = quick). While the Argo was being made ready, Chiron advised Jason to have heralds travel throughout Greece spreading the word his long journey and inviting brave and noble youths to take part in the campaign. And so Jason did: and the crew of his ship, the Argonauts as they were called, were all heroes or even the sons of gods. They included Tiphes (helmsman of the Argos), Orpheus the musician, the soothsayers Idmon and Mopsus, Heracles, Hylas, Idas, Castor and Pollux, Periclymenus (son of Neleus), Peleas and his brother Telamon, and many others.

Castor and Pollux quite a while in the past The Gospel references Gemini when Paul and his associates were making a trip to Rome by boat and they noted

Following three months we put out to the ocean in a boat that had wintered in the island—it was an Alexandrian boat with the nonentity of the twin divine beings Castor and Pollux. Acts 28:11 Castor and Pollux are the conventional names of the two twins in Gemini. This shows divine twins was normal around 2000 years prior.

Starborn Truths: Chapter 2 - Magical Truths

Starborn Truths

Chapter 2: Magical Truths

Afternoons in Ambrose Towns always shocked Bakari. How its radiance fueled the spirits of its citizen and caressed their soul-stones. He never truly understood it. But their excitement never failed to coil his senses and tickle his magic. Though, he expected no less from the heart of Barikioo’s trading network.

Ambrose Town attracted sellers from the five kingdoms. And they filled the streets with exclusive wares and tips of the trade. An art which thrived on these sacred lands. Loony Lytton told him Lady Tushara—Kiinbi of Trade—blessed the town with greats magic and gifts. And Bakari believed it. Though, hard not to when his soul-stone moaned upon arrival, soaking in the bursting magic.

“Potent fairy veins here, Mystro,” he smiled, stroking his steed’s mane. “Makes for an easy mission.”

Mystro responded with a rumbling neigh. Bakari loved riding him into towns. Especially on a freshly shoveled, dirt road. The peaceful breeze cooled his nerves and set his spirit at ease. Of course, the residents helped with their awe-filled regard. And he loved every second of it. Even indulgenced them with brilliant smile. Regardless of Mystro’s disapproving snort, he couldn’t help it!

Feels great to be loved.

Well, so long as no one touched Mystro.

Of course, there was always that one who ignored the memo. One merchant—a wiry, ashy old man covered in liver spots and rags—came far too close. And even had the audacity to drag those spidery fingers on Mystro! Dangling just underneath his saddle packs.

“Listen boy, I have perfect ware for you,” the sleazebag crackled worse than a chocking rat. Exposing sharpened canines and rotten teeth. “An amulet perfect for absorbing ambient mana. Whaddya say, boy? Tempted? Could be yours for thirty tevenis.”

Merchants thought they were so slick. That no one noticed them oozing that thick honey into their voice until their words stuck to the skin. Prickling the body until they wedged their way inside.

Magic of suggestion. Subtle magic all sellers born in trading centers possessed. And merchants deployed them with ease, slicking their voices with gallons of it as they gestured to their horde. Even the most novice of mages utilized this type of subtle magic. And it worked wonders on lesser humans.

On a mage like Bakari, well… quite a shame, he’d say. “Back off, sleazebag,” he scowled. “Ain’t interested in nothing yer sellin’, got it?”

But the man persisted. The sweet honey ensnared his senses, but the warmth of his soul-stone purged him of the impurities. “C’mon boy, could be useful for your travels. Oh, I know,” Sleazebag ruffled through his rags and yanked out the oddest orb he ever saw. “This magic orb. Legends say it leads the way to great treasure. I’ll throw in both for only forty tevenis!”

So…strange. Bakari couldn’t understand why it looked like a mutated, sickly green seed with strange, petal-like patterns limping across its body. Or why its magical vibrations pulsed so weak.

Sickly magic, he frowned. He never knew magical orbs lost their power over time. And he’s seen his fair share with the Bloody Castors. Granted they all had splashes of vibrant colors and dazzling designs. Nothing lackluster like this one.

“I’m fine,” Mystro started on his path, whipping his tail at the man’s face. “Later sleazebag.”

No distractions, he recited, Tyrell’s words flooding his thoughts. I hafta stay on task.

Still, that orb irked him. With its sickly glow and flickering magic. A haunting melody his soul-stone loathed and squirmed away from. Yet, something pulled him back. Called out him with greasy words and harsh tones. Despite his intuition, he glanced over his shoulder. And that geezer flashed him a creepy, decaying grin. Bakari shuddered.

Strange or not, he couldn’t concede to his feelings. Not when Master Knox granted him this mission.

Perhaps, it’s nothin’, he sighed. After all, hustlers and suckers came in all ages. No sense in spending his hard-earned treveni!

Nonetheless, he needed to stay on mission. Even if Tyrell ain’t send me nothing, he sighed, checking his commlink for the umpteenth time. That man was never reliable when it came to consistent communication. Maybe he be better in other areas, Bakari chuckled. Still, the mission came first. He could have his fun after meeting with Grampa Morris.

Hope he alright, Bakari sighed. It wasn’t like Grampa Morris to ignore his letters. No matter how anti-social he grew with each day.

“Yo! Bakari!” A familiar voice rattled through his ears. A young merchant—perhaps one of the youngest around! —raced over, flailing his arms. A handsome guy with rich carob skin, a short afro with blond tips and a fade, brilliant green eyes, and dressed in a bright parka and bottoms. A true oddity wit those bright green freckles across his nose. Bakari reeled Mystro to a stop, hopped off and greeted the teen. “It’s been ages, stranger! What? I don’t get visits out here?”

“Really, Dumaka?” Bakari rolled his eyes with a smirk. “It been a few months max.”

Dumaka, of all people, couldn’t talk about not seeing someone. Not when his massive family travelled across the continent of Philos! Merchants, the lot of them. And that cut down any quality time when Bakari came to visit.

Dumaka flashed him a fish-eating smirk. “Few months too many! I missed you, bro!” A blush dusted Duma’s handsome feature and Bakari rolled his eyes. Right on que—followed by him rubbing the back of his head and averting his gaze. “And our time together too, Baka.”

“Duma,” he began with a sigh. “Ain’t gon happen. Ya know that.”

For mere moments, the truth deflated Duma before he popped back up with renewed vigor. “Yeah, yeah—I hear ya.” Duma grinned and pulled a small box out of his green and purple patterned parka. “Found this with the fam—might be useful to ya. It’s great seeing you again. Oh, and nice ‘fit.”

Bakari accepted the gift with a grin. He liked to think of himself as a fashion person, sporting patterns of silver and gold with his blue bottoms, heavy boots. Finished off his favorite silver belt stocked with medicine and his personal hunting knife.

“By the way, my aunt ain’t around. Wanna come by the booth?”

Bakari laughed. Only Duma could refer to that massive house as a booth! The perks of living in Ambrose Town, gave Duma’s family the chance to use their home as their selling space. Decked out with stunning lights, free food, and amazing artifacts. And, of course, a dose of magic didn’t hurt.

Did he mention the food?

Still, no aunt around meant Bakari could rest easy.

Beep. Beep. Or not. Bakari sighed. Of course, Tyrell chose now to give him an update. Honestly, that man and his timing. Maybe I can fix that.

“Maybe later. Got a mission, ya know.”

The magic phrase. Duma’s eyes sparkled with wonder as he tried and failed to peek at Bakari’s commlink. As it should be. Duma had his travels, but Bakari had mission. The perfect counterbalance for their crazy lives.

“Aye Huntsman!” Bakari glared him. “What’s the business? Gotta catch another stray?”

Bakari chuckled. “Nah, following up on Grampa Morris’s lead. Something ‘bout a mythical treasure.”

Duma’s excitement fizzled away as worry flickered through his eyes. “Grampa Morris,” he frowned, folding his arms. But Bakari caught his fingers squeezing a tad too tight. “Haven’t heard from him lately. Think he okay? Did he see something?”

Hmm, so it wasn’t only him Grampa Morris ignored. Odd—Has Malik been ignored too? Something wasn’t right here and Bakari knew he had to find out.

“He hasn’t responded to my letters.” Bakari patted Duma’s shoulders and forced a smile. Usually, Duma acted as the light in the darkness. Smiling and changing the mood of those around him. But a good friend picked up the slack when others couldn’t.

“But I’m sure he fine. With his gift, he ain’t gon fall easy, ya know.”

Retired bandit yes, but Grampa Morris still possessed the gift of precognition. A soothsayer with a talent in the mystic arts. Grampa Morris taught Bakari much about his magic and even come combat techniques. Someone as skilled as him didn’t submit to just anyone. No matter how old they got!

Still, he worried for him. Malik wasn’t always around, and Aida only did so much.

“He probably in a mood—you know how he gets.”

“Yes, he does,” a gravelly voice whisked through the air and Bakari flinched. Careless, he chastised himself. With his magic, he should’ve sensed her arrival before she reached earshot. Dear kiinbies, please ensure she hadn’t heard enough of their conversation.

The tall woman stalked over with folded arms and a scowl. Her sandy brown skin decorated in the same hereditary freckles as Duma. Even dressed in the same color pattern with added hoops and bangles. Her menacing forest green eyes glared down at him, foretelling stories of dangerous secrets, twists, and power.

“Hello Bakari, it’s been awhile. One might think you’re avoiding me.”

“That’s ‘cause I am, Anita.” Bakari rolled his eyes. “I ain’t got no reason to see you.”

Anita laughed. An empty, mocking laugh that boiled his anger. “Quite true, boy,” she eyed a bit lower and Bakari grabbed his necklace. “Unless there’s something you need to tell me, Huntsman?”

“It was a gift,” he scowled, tucking it away underneath his clothes. “And watch the name-drop, Porta.”

A mage like her knew better. For any mage to reveal another’s danuko without permission or just cause broke numerous mage code laws! Laws established by the Divine Nine Mage Guilds to preserve the security and safety of mages worldwide. She took an oath to uphold and protect these rights as a Light Core Mage.

Then again, how could he trust the loyalty of a Light Core Mage?

“C’mon now, don’t fight.” Duma interrupted with a nervous smile. “Auntie, I thought you were outta town this week?”

Only Duma soothed the harsh tension. One of his many gifts. Just a flash of that pearly smile doused the rage rumbling within. Bakari sighed and ran a hand through his dreads. Perhaps now wasn’t the time to fight. Not when he had his mission to finish.

Anita only smirked and punched her nephew’s cheeks. “Change of plans,” she sighed, tousling her short braids. “Reports of a magical treasure have surfaced in town. Light Core needs me out here for now.”

Figures. It was only a matter of time before Light Core got involved. Still, he had hoped for more time. As one of the few mage guilds left in Philos, they received any and all information about magic. A necessary since they housed powerful mages who helped secure the safety of Philosians.

Bakari had a few run-ins with those mages, but no proven encounters. The perks of being a world-class archer and sniper.

His commlink vibrated. Perfect, another message from Tyrell. Not they both had news to report. Though he hated to think about Tyrell’s reaction to all this.

“That means I’ll be keeping an eye on you, Bakari.”

An eye on him? Bakari scoffed. “Save yer efforts, sand-brain. You’ll need it for yer mission.” He spared her a nod and climbed onto Mystro. For his credit, Mystro turned up his snout at Anita and whipped his tail in her direction. “Talk to you later, Duma. We can chill then.”

Bakari waited until they were out of earshot to call Tyrell. The holographic screenshot captured the strongman’s heavy scowl perfectly.

“Tyrell, we got a problem.”
