jan 1, 1300 - Judius Erewalker is born

Description:

Status: Presumed Ascended (Disappeared in 1382)

Titles: The Gilded Flame, The First Alchemist, Patriarch of Purity
Ability: Aurokinesis (Gold Manipulation)
Judius Erewalker was the first of the Erewalkers, born at the very dawn of a new century—January 1, 1300—as the sun rose over a frost-covered forest in the old world. The air shimmered with a strange energy that morning, and the midwives swore that the newborn's eyes gleamed like molten gold. From his first breath, it was clear he was not ordinary.

Judius was born with aurokinesis, the rare and powerful ability to manipulate gold in all its forms—raw ore, minted coin, even metaphysical essence. To him, gold was more than a metal; it was a source of purity, energy, and transformation. He quickly learned to transmute elements, purify corrupted substances, and mold gold into impossible shapes. His manipulation extended to symbolic gold as well—enchantments, sigils, and protective glyphs infused with golden power.

Other Abilities:

Hidden in plain sight
Elemental Mastery
foresight

But gold’s temptation was dangerous. Recognizing this, Judius vowed to never hoard, but instead to refine. He became a traveling philosopher-alchemist, known across kingdoms for healing the sick with golden elixirs and forging weapons that could dispel evil. His travels led him into countless courts, temples, and battlefields, always guided by an inner light and a strict moral code.
Judius founded the House of Erewalker in a hidden valley on Grikonis Island—an ancestral stronghold hidden by enchantment and protected by elemental guardians. It became both sanctuary and school, where future generations of Erewalkers would be trained to master their gifts.
Though many of his descendants wield fire, ice, flora, or shadow, Judius was the foundation—the golden root from which they all grew. He taught that every ability, no matter how destructive, must be tempered by wisdom, restraint, and the pursuit of justice.
In 1382, Judius vanished under mysterious circumstances. Some say he ascended to a higher plane in a ritual of golden light, leaving behind no body—only a perfectly shaped ouroboros made of pure gold, still warm to the touch. Others claim he walks the Earth in secret, hidden beneath a golden mask, guiding from the shadows.
To the Erewalker family, Judius is more than an ancestor—he is a symbol of honor and discipline. His teachings are still quoted, his symbols etched into every family crest, and his Golden Staff of Transcendence is said to appear to those who truly embody the spirit of the Erewalkers.

The Prophecy of the Gilded Convergence
Spoken by Judius Erewalker during his final known appearance in 1382
"When the Ice meets Flame and Sky drinks Sea,
One born of shadow, one born of light,
Shall stand between the end and eternity.
Thirty and one shall carry the fire,
Each born of storm, stone, thorn, or spire.
In the year when the seventh star is torn from the sky,
The Gilded Flame shall burn again—
Not as one, but as many._
Look to the child of the fourth hour,
Born beneath twin worlds.
Through his breath, the frost shall rise,
Through his will, the flame shall fall.
And through his line, the world shall turn anew."

Interpretation by Erewalker historians:
“Ice meets Flame” likely refers to a union of opposing elemental powers—such as Art Erewalker (cryokinesis) and another descendant with pyrokinesis.
“Sky drinks Sea” likely refers to Icarus Erewalker (shape shifting into an eagle) and Jinx Carpathia (shape shifting into a shark).


“Thirty and one” echoes the 31 Erewalker siblings, born from elemental inheritance.


“Child of the fourth hour” is believed to be Art Erewalker, born at 12:04 AM.


“Twin worlds” may reference Xaotura and Earth, tying into Art’s birth between realms.


The “Gilded Flame” could represent Judius himself, returning in spiritual form or through a descendant.


The prophecy ends with a veiled warning: a great trial is coming, and only the Erewalkers united will prevail.

The Prophecy of the Erewalkers — As Carved in the Flowing Script of Old Xaoturan
"When the Moon stands before the Sun, and stars whisper to unborn heirs,
One born of the Deep and one of the Sky shall entwine their fates.
Sky drinks Sea — when the eagle meets the shark,
And from their union, a forger of galaxies shall rise."
"He shall not dwell in the world of his kin,
But craft for them a sanctuary among the ether.
A realm not yet charted, whose gates open only to blood-kin
Who dream with clarity and speak without tongues."
"The Astral Mother shall vanish with the tide,
Her body bound to beasts, her spirit to light.
But her embrace shall echo beyond death,
For she shall return to hug her descendants
On the day the stars sing her name once more."
"A child shall recall the directions given in sleep,
Guided by hawks and shaped by will.
He, the galaxy-giver, born on stone and storm,
Shall remember — and he shall make Aetheria."

The golden fire shattered into sparks—thirty-one of them—floating to the skies. Each spark became a star. Each star a name.
Art. Aspen. Crystal. Eira. Draziw...
Gabriella watched them light the heavens, realizing they were not heirs—they were torches. The legacy was not reborn in one. It had been passed to a family, destined to unite.
Roberta's voice faded, but her raven eyes lingered.
"The fire was never lost... only waiting to be shared."
And then Gabriella woke, a single raven feather in her hand.

Scene: The Dream of the Raven Witch
Gabriella stood on the edge of a starlit forest, the world around her silent and silver with astral mist. A lone raven perched on a withered branch above her, watching. Then, the raven spoke—not in words, but in whispers threaded with ancient magic.
Its form shimmered, twisting into that of a woman cloaked in emerald and night. Her eyes glowed green, old as time itself.
Roberta Raven.
She raised her hand, and fire—not red, but gilded gold—spiraled above her palm. It did not burn. It shimmered like memory.
"The Gilded Flame shall burn again—"
Her voice was a song of wind and thunder.
"Not as one, but as many."

The Golden Ascension: Truth Behind the Legend
Though many believe Judius vanished in 1382 in a blaze of golden light, leaving behind only a warm ouroboros of pure gold, the truth is known only to a few.
Judius did not disappear—he transmuted.
In the culmination of his life's work, he performed the Final Alchemical Rite, a ritual so advanced it defied the boundaries of mortality. In a moment of perfect balance between matter and spirit, he transformed his entire physical form into a flawless ouroboros of living gold—a symbol of eternal refinement and the infinite cycle of growth.
Simultaneously, his soul ascended into the Astral Plane, where it entered a deep hibernation—not death, but rest. There, he awaits a time when the Erewalker line will need him most.
It is whispered in the hidden scrolls of Grikonis that when the ouroboros turns warm once more, and glows with inner fire, Judius will stir—and with him, the ancient light of gold shall rise again.
Until that day, his essence still speaks in dreams, glyphs, and flickers of golden energy drawn unknowingly by his descendants.

Judius returns not as he was—
But as the forge for what must be.
A flame of truth, a soul of cause,
To mend the world and set it free.

The Golden Oath Prophecy
Etched in sigil-stone beneath the House of Erewalker
—believed to be scribed by Judius himself before his Transmutation.
When shadow drowns the seventh flame,
And frost devours the waking spring,
When blood of root and crown is claimed,
The Ouroboros shall stir and sing.
A child born where gold meets storm,
Whose hands refuse both blade and throne,
Shall seek the fire in coldest form,
And find the light the wise disown.
By voice of beast and cry of kin,
By fallen star and broken ring,
The path shall clear, the Rite begin,
And gold shall wake with golden wing.

Interpretation (Modern Scholar’s Notes)
"Seventh flame" may reference the seventh elemental lineage or a key descendant.
"Gold meets storm" could symbolize a child born of the Erewalker line (gold) and another powerful family tied to tempest or conflict.
"Voice of beast" is widely believed to allude to Nogard, whose roar may herald Judius’s awakening.
The phrase "broken ring" is debated—some claim it refers to a shattered alliance or the cracking of the ouroboros itself.

Legacy Context:
Only Egitrix, Icarus, and Oviar know this version. They do not share it in full—not even to their own children unless they are Chosen by the Ouroboros.
Judius’s disappearance is, in truth, a planned alchemical sleep, not death—his essence merged with a golden artifact that can only be reawakened by an act of pure selflessness by one of his descendants.

The Golden Oath (Lineage-Only Version)
Spoken in golden flame by Judius to Egitrix beneath the Alchemical Moon, 1382.
"Keep this not in scroll nor stone,
But in the marrow of our own.
The ouroboros sleeps not dead,
But coils in time, unseen, unread."
"When shadow eats the voice of truth,
And frost unbinds the roots of youth—
The heir of gold shall not command,
But shape the fate with open hand."
"One of our line, whose light is veiled,
Shall walk the dusk the world has failed.
And when the dragon gives its cry,
The gold within shall breach the sky."
"From flame to forge, from dark to dawn,
Let truth be tempered, not withdrawn.
And know—when silence splits the air,
Judius returns… but not all there."
