course there has to be a background story for every super hero (ultra
runner athletes will recognize many familiar, though slightly distorted,
names in her "official history"):
The legend of Mischa Redblur, Ultra Sorceress
Chapter IV - The early Years
as chronicled by Sir D’Ean Karno
Mischa was the 4th daughter of King
Gordian Sleigh, the beloved white bearded master of the winter lands of
Idema in Scotland, and his wife Queen Asch. Everyone knew this beautiful
little baby was very special because when Mischa was born she already had
beautiful locks of long red hair – a potent sign of future strong magical
powers. Kingdom shaking events occurred when Mischa was only 7 years
old. That was the year that the evil demented ice blue eyed Lord Bzawely
from the far North, who was the keeper of the Book of Shadows and Master
of the Giants, attacked and overran the once happy lands.
Fortunately, little Mischa was spirited away to
safety by the King Sleigh’s faithful Klan warriors – Yurek and McKenzie
the Scots, while debonair Knight Robin McSnare bravely stayed behind to
lay many clever traps to slow down the pursuers.
After 5 years in closely guarded hiding Mischa, now
12, was taken to the secret school of the Sacred Mists in the upper
reaches of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in all of the Scottish
highlands. All feared this mountain and few ever returned. The word Nevis
means poisonous, terrible and ominous. It was time to start Mischa’s long
formal training in the ULTRA ways.
Davan the Wiccan, a Celtic High Priest with vast
experience in combat arts, strength and speed development tended to her
years of physical training. Her mental magical powers were coaxed slowly
into great strength by XY the Wise, prosecutor of the true Celtic laws and
sworn enemy of the evil perverted Lord Bzawely. It was XY’s magic
controlled lightning bolt that a decade earlier melted out Bzawely’s left
eye of diamond clear dazzling blue ice. Even with his eye patch Bzawely
was a handsome striking figure. Strutting, always strutting, as he
pondered what evil to do next.
After several years of training, Mischa was
considered ready for some of the less dangerous covert missions, but only
when accompanied by other young ULTRA students. Her extremely dangerous
solo missions that earned her a name as a legend would come later.
Her companions on these early adventures were Robert
the Bear, Ben the Stag, Kyle the Young and Alan of the Brrrr Sea a
handsome ice, water and fire magic apprentice. Alan’s icy calm nature was
very valuable in the many serious emergency situations the small team
encountered. It was Kyle the Young (who you will learn more about in
Chapter VIII) who saved Mischa with a daring rescue during the battle of
Hot Springs after the giant ogre Tmtweit threw her over the edge of the
steep mountain precipice. Kyle saved her life and got her mangled body
back to the school of the Sacred Mists. It took her 6 months to recover
and she became stronger, faster and more determined than ever.
She was now ready to advance to the master level of
the ULTRA ways. Davan the Wiccan & XY the Wise taught her the magic of
RED. RED was extremely powerful magic to be used only when attacking an
enemy. As her red hair grew longer, it too became a useful weapon that
through RED magic became alive and could reach out and grasp an opponent
around the neck or ankles. No one in the history of the kingdom ever had
that power!
The mission of the ULTRAS was to act as special long
distance messengers for King Sleigh to the leaders of the rebellion
alliance. To deliver secret planning strategy messages to and between
General D’on, son of Allise, and Master Gregor of the Land of Sodr, as
fast as possible without attracting any attention from any of evil Lord
Bzawely’s giants. Yurek the Scot was the first member of the ULTRA guild
to learn how to use magic to shift time. To ordinary humans, it appeared
that Yurek was running much faster than any horse could, plus he could
easily sustain these incredible speeds for a hecto-mile (100 miles).
Yurek, in his prime, once ran a hecto-mile in
fourteen and one half hours. Mischa while just in her mid 20’s ran a
hecto-mile in just thirteen and one half hours from the North Face of the
Western Highlands to the Hills of the Auburn Forest. She had to swiftly
race up 18,000 feet in altitude, then blaze through dangerous snow-covered
passes to cross over treacherous Satan’s thumb, then make her way 23,000
feet down through the jumbled hard rock of the Mon Trail to finally reach
those beautiful auburn forests. The ordinary humans who happened to be
anywhere near her same path saw nothing but a faint red blur and felt only
a cold rush of wind from her passage. The origins of her legendary name
had begun!
