Chapter 9 - The Anccarra Family

The Anccarra Family. Horrus Anccarra, Dianne Anccarra, Their Son Finn Anccarra, and Their Daughter Eloise Anccarra. As the families began to find their purposes aside from existing for the collective of Humanity they found another calling, to look beyond the horizon, to see the confines of where they lie, and to see the end of the world or so they thought it was.

Everything began on a day just like before this one, times slowly but surely passed by at seemingly to no end and only awaiting the engulfing darkness of the night. Dianne the ever so loving mother to their children take them near a fire place to tell them stories, heroic stories of gods beyond their plane of existence. The 100 Years War, The Engulfing Thunder, Baal the Nameless God, The Heroic Expeditions, and many more pages of tales, time pass day in and day out they read through hundreds of words and countless ammounts of pages, this would seemingly continue till the end of time between them and sometimes Horrus joins in and tells the stories himself, this was just the day in the life of the Anccarra Family.

Long before the ventures beyond the borders of the lands they think about what lies beyond the borders based upon the records of what has transpired before in the land of the gods, The Union of Information and it's current leader at the time of writing the document Eraniea became one of the gods that ventured to the journey on the end of the known world and found an infinite falling void that disregard the laws of Divinity within it, this became the only basis of what humanity expected onto what lies beyond the boundaries of where they reside, if you fall into the confines of it you feel empty and stuck within a thought to keep you company in a never ending and everlasting eternity of silence.

This made the humans become afraid of seeing and even venturing towards the things beyond what they already know, this was one of the things that halted the progression of humanity.

The unknown things in the border of humanity, nobody knowns what or who lays before them, they couldn't and they know they wouldn't, they are afraid of what is to be seen before them, they couldn't and wouldn't, they could never dare to try.

Time passes even more and the lingering thought of the mystery of what lies beyond the horizon Horrus

the ever so interested individual wanted to quench this thirst for the truth. He was the man who started it all, an Expedition beyond what lays beneath their feet, Horrus Anccarra The Man who will step above the borders that keep humanity in check, he and his family will be on the front lines in the battle against the unknown, This Marks the Beginning on the Writing of The Map of the World.

Horrus Anccarra a man of high intelligence, he alone bared the fear of seeing and even comprehending the things he would see atop that mountain, he imagine that one day he would stand atop the point of no return and stand between the moon and the earth, between humanity and what lies beyond that. His story begins with wanting to see the truth and ending with living with a truth he could never part with, Horrus was a respectable and smart man, he was a family man taking care and loving his family above all else, interests began but never really moved away from the thought of leaving the care for them in a second. He was bound to him self and his never ending love for them and abandoned a lot of things for himself just to care for them, he deals with Finn being a son that just ignores his father and Eloise being a daughter than wants to be free from her father and his clingyness, for him this never really mattered but later in his life it just snaps to him, after a long read that lasted for 3 days in his study he dreamt about a prophecy of some sorts, no one can say if it really was a prophecy but he dreamt it and it began this longing for wanting to see what was beyond the horizon, he would hear stories and having nightmares and ever growing fears for what lies beyond but with those dreams in mind it began to grow as this hunger to see what really was in the great beyond. Reading and reading countless and endless amounts of pages he scattered to find information throughout records from hundreds of years ago and legends that haunt even the gods he finnaly found his calling, "I Want to See what Lies Beyond the End of The World." He woke up crying that day knowing that he would go far away from his family and not see them every single second of his waking life, but this drive of wants enabled him to go through with this decision and this began the thousands of hours committed to discovering the world they lived in. Allas the time has come, he saw of what seems to be the peak of the world, he never ever thought that one day he could finnaly reach the place of promise, he after so long stepped above the horizon and stood between the moon and the sun, he was the sights of what seems to be, Darkness. He was flooded again by another nightmare, he was battling him self again and again, day in day out battling against what lies there. In one of his expeditions he saw a small peephole through the mountain and with the power and help of magic he saw of what seems to be a bright and Golden yellow sunshine through the mountains he resides in.

Dianne Anccarra she is what you call a natural story teller, she can break down different difficult to understand concepts into mere simplified versions of it in mere seconds. She if ever she was given books worth 10 years of she would outright finish them half the time it should have taken to read all of it while remembering all of the contents of each and every page of these books. Dianne is well versed in stories and information about the world and uses it well to her own advantage, she served as once the head of the Recillia Family for three days before backing down and realizing that it's not her role to become leader of another family, this kind of thing wouldn't happen ever again in the history of humanity a different member from another family becoming anothers leading person, it could never be achieved again. In simple words as she her self would put it as "I Just Love Reading Books." This became her mastery and later became one of the mappers of the map of the world that wrote the descriptions of the different places Horrus found and went to using pretty bad vivid descriptions of each of the places written by Horrus. And lastly she along with Thana Lianca was one of the first people outside the authoring families to read the entire content of each of the books of magic but she failed to finish the Ankh before it was finished and even with this lingering want to finish it she ultimately couldn't put up with her self to read it again without starting from the first page it begins in.

Finn Anccarra is the kind of guy that feels like he as a person is the kind that you don't want to be with in panic situation, he is an a seems to be unreliable kid that does not look like he helps anyone even his own self. That was how some see him as, but in reality Finn was a master of the blade.

Quesa Dolte one night created a new style of blade, a super thin and sharp pointed blade, he randomly one night thought about "What will happen if I won't stop hammering a piece of metal for long amounts of time?" And it began, night after night he would hammer away without really a care or a thought of result as to what would the final product become. A month passed and one of the metals he hammered became a thin long cylindrical stick that he didn't really pay much attention to, but a few days later it was sitting on his work shop he though of something, he said to himself "If I were to make this a sword I would need a hand rest to let the handler feel as if it is an extension of their hands." So he fit a bowl like hand guard to it and made a custom designed handle. A few days pass and it's done a month and a half of grueling hard work and ideas he did it, "A Needle Sword!" He laughed at it thinking that it was just a toy not made for combat. A few more days pass and Finn went around the settlement and saw the needle Quesa made, he asked him "What is that?" Quesa just smiles and said "A Toy" Finn with enough time to kill was interested in this needle which he so cravingly wanted to hold. But Quesa seing this just outright gave it to him as a gift and wishes him to just have fun with a toy he made. Finn says thanks to him and left on his way, the uses of the needle began as a skewer for leaves and thin papers alike and was just used as this pointy piercing toy for small objects, he would pin it on apples, leaves, cloth and had so much fun while doing so. A year pass and again the same day of using the needle he realized something, "Can I use it as a sword?" He says, so he wanted to test it on combat and found that it was a strong but difficult to use weapon. He never really gave it much thought until Alphelt Valentine was walking around and saw a young Finn using a needle of a sword to pierce and catch falling leaves off a tree, Valentine went near the boy to ask what it was and replied back saying it was a toy made by Old Man-Quesa. Valentine interests was piqued and said to the boy about borrowing it for a bit, Valentine found much fun on using it and tried to use magic on the needle but it just melted, she was shocked at how easy it was to break cause her application on that magic was merely at her fingers instead of the sword. Finn and Valentine went to Quesa and asked for a new one but he said it would take him a month or two to make another one again, Quesa never really pried about what it was for but he was happy to make it for them either way, two months pass and new needles were made again, but with a planned conversation about why it broke between Alphelt and Quesa they created the new needles using a stronger material. Little did Finn know this was the beginning of mastery on the Fencing Arts.

Eloise Anccarra one of the only 3 true masters of elemental magic specializing in wind magic, Eloise began learning magic by not even knowing about magic at all. One day she just began playing around with her brother Finn unknowingly using wind magic before it was even discovered by someone other than the Valentine's, it happened before the writing of the Red Chronicle but after Jackson Valentine's discovery of magic making Eloise Anccarra one of the earliest users of magic. She unknowing about magic or what it really was just used it in a playful way where she was using it to make leaves fly for Finn to piece and practice his aim. A few years later Valentine began the official start of the Red Chronicle and shared the knowledge of magic to the world, Eloise never really understood what it really was or what was the purpose of it but she knew that she was a strong individual, months pass and pages are read she after all this time finnaly gained knowledge as to what she was finding fun in casually doing, this opened up her heart to the wants on the pursuit of magic. A few more months pass and with the official release of The Red Chronicle Valentine along with the others started a magic aptitude test for everyone to see who was capable of what kind of magic, during this time the pages for the Ankh was beginning to be created. Out of almost everyone in the gathering Eloise showed a crazy strong aptitude for wind affinity magic, she was on par with Valentine at the time when she began and was even more stronger than Valentine if she was ever to fight him in his current state in a one versus one using only wind magic, after almost a year of just testing magic and no training. Eloise was a prodigy indeed and an unmatched one at that, she was a treasure and one of the reasons why the map of the world was completed, without her help Horrus could have never finished it since some of the places in the world was dangerous and needed someone strong to defeat what ever may come to them.
