Sylkas past is lost to him for some of his life there are a few things that are scarred to him, most of it is his mother. Inafina was his mother's name. She was an elf and a wizard. She loved knowledge
she would study for years at a subjugate till she had every fact and theory down to memory. One day she had a strange dream. In her dream, she saw weird symbols and formulas. When she awoke, she started to write them down and investigate what they were. Over time, she also found out that she was pregnant with Sylkas. Inafina couldn't figure out how she was pregnant. Her only conclusion was that it was related to the now reoccurring visions of the symbols. After Sylkas was born, her visions slowly faded till one day they stopped- right when she noticed that Sylkas was able to us magic. He was only 5 years old when he showed signs of magic. At this point Inafina understood what the symbols were for - they were for her son. For the next few years, she learned what some of the symbols did. Some amplified her magic powers, some weakened them and some she could not figure out. On Sylkas 10th birthday, Inafina decided to use the ones she knew that worked. When she was about to, she blacked out and woke to Sylkas with every single one of the symbols tattooed on to him. She looked at Sylkas, but she sensed that standing in front of her was not the same Sylkas. When Sylkas awoke from what he assumed was a nightmare, he was standing in an empty dirt field. The trees, his home, his mother were all gone. The only thing left was the tattoo symbols on him and a voice not of his own saying, "It's all meaningless......Death is all around you.... but it doesn't matter does it..... we can have anything all you have to do is open up."
