During a harsh winter
in the early 2nd Era a boy was born to the widow Ameni in the small
village of Deepwell. Being as pale and cold as he was, no one expected him to
survive his first night. But as a late spring reached Deepwell and as it turned
into summer the young boy Keemon seemed as healthy as any other of the children
around him. But everyone knew something there was different about him,
something that was wrong.
As he grew up he never
lost his pale skin or cold blood. He was a skinny boy with two tired ice-blue
eyes and a thin face, framed by light grey hair.
It took several years
until something happened.
