\--==Official Submission==-- FROM: Lieutenant Anubis RE: The Story of Anubis Chapter 1- The Begining of Life Chapter 1- The Begining of Life Circa -25 years A child was born in Vesper today, to Sir Garthis and Lady Tamella, they named their son after the great Magi-King that brought peace during the Age of the Warlords. Garthis was a solider who served under Lord British for over 20 years, he had since retired and ran a small provisioners shop in South Vesper. Lady Tamella sold her tailored goods there. The family was very happy; their son would serve the good Lord British like his father had, but not before he got some meat on his bones. When the son of Garthis was finally old enough to work, he was sent into the forests to chop trees and craft bows to sell at the family shop. In another year he would be off to enlist in the Society of the Iron Rose. His father was so proud of his hard working son; he would be a great solider. Circa -5 years Anubis son of Garthis was but a day away from riding off to his destiny in the SIR. His going away party had been a sad but joyous occasion. He spent his last night walking along the beach in South Vesper. He would often come here at dusk to clear his mind of the worries of the day. He had quite an extensive collection of seashells to prove it. Tonight he was not thinking of shells, but how much he would miss Vesper and his family. But most of all his betrothed, Lady Nephythys. It was getting late and he was about to head for home when he happened upon a most unusual shell. Or what he thought to be a shell. He picked it up and took a closer look at it; suddenly he was struck with fear. This was no shell; it was a human skull! He went to throw it into the sea, but stopped and examined it closer. Staring into the sockets he could make out a faint red light, "it must be magical" he thought to himself. Just then a white mist poured from the skulls mouth and engulfed him. Anubis awoke on the beach the next morning to the yell of his mother. Later that day he rode of to the Iron Rose training camp. Circa -1 year Anubis rose through the ranks of the SIR quickly after just one year he had received a commission and by the end of four he had taken command of the Society. Eventually a SIR scout discovered that there was another society, the Black Rose Society that was still active. In the annals it was written that the SIR was once part of the BRS. So Captain Anubis sought out the BRS headquarters. An alliance was formed and eventually the two societies merged together once more. Anubis retained his rank as Captain and after the retirement of Major Lazarus Shade, assumed the position of General Rahls' Second in command.
