One day a happy family gave birth to a child, it was a boy.

Following the custom from their village they had to visit the oracle of Luwest to hear a prophecy about their infant.

After five days walking to the west of the Lu river they arrived at the gates of the Capital.

After buying some proviand for the journey back home they visited the temple where they will hear the prophecy about their son.

The oracle was an old woman who sits in a dim lit round room with a crystal ball in front of her. When the parents came to her, she was shocked when she saw the child and shouted these words:”Your son is a failure,you should throw him in the Lu river before midnight otherwise you will be doomed. When you throw him in the river say the incantation:” This IS SORSON!!”.

When the parents heard this, they were speechless the only thing they could ask was:”Will our son survive?” It depends; she said, only if he’s strong enough to survive then probably yes.

So the parents left the oracle in deep thoughts about what they were going to do.

The mother didn’t want to do it, but the father was taking it in consideration. After a long journey to their home village and alot of quarreling about the fate of their newborn child an old man appeared in front of them when they were walking on the bridge back to their home.

The old man asked:”Why are you two fighting? My head hurts already and I saw you only for like ten seconds.”

The father answered: “Old man you don’t know the burden we are carrying in our hearts: we have to throw our son in this river or else we will be doomed forever!” The old man asked:” Why don’t you just throw him away he doesn’t look like us either way he’s too pale… he’ll die in a week or so.”

The father sighed:”I can’t throw him away just because he looks different…” The old man interrupted him and took the child in his own arms and while saying:”I will do it for you.

He held the child over the railing and mumbled something: a purple glow appeared around the child and the old man and the surroundings became darker, the next moment the old man released the child.

And the parents heard the screams of the infant when he fell into the river father wanted to strangle the old man but the old man said:”Look over there he survived.”
