Alestus Family

The Alestus family was one of the many tribes turned factions during the second era. They were swiftly destroyed by Skyla but, as what will soon become a recurring pattern, one member, named Epizón of the tribe escaped and took the name of Alestus, meaning unkillable or indestructible in Palaiós due to his ability to constantly escape annihilation, which he passed down his line. The last of his tribe, and the first Alestus, then sneaked into the quickly growing Skyla kingdom and settled down to continue his line. More recently, a human witch by the name of Mitéra wandered across a dying angel while hunting for ingredients in her local forest. Mitera then attempted to tend to heal the dying angel but only managed to extend its life by a couple of days. During that time Mitera talked frequently with the angel and found that she had fallen in love with the creature, as did the angel with her. Shortly after the angel died, Mitera fell pregnant and had to go into hiding fearing the safety of her and her child. Mitera left her village and went deep into the forest and built a cottage there which she warded as heavily as she could. When she finally went into labour alone in the forest, she was shocked to find she had not only birthed one Nephilim, but two. She named the first Eleos meaning mercy in Palaiós for that is the only thing she desired for her and her children. She then named the second Vyzer, meaning miracle, as it was a miracle she survived this long and still managed to birth two powerful children. Eleos and Vyzer spent their childhood in the forest with their mother collecting herbs and hunting, generally having a great time until Eleos made a deal to escape her life, leaving Vyzer and Mitera alone together. Mitera knew she wasn’t far from death and didn’t want to leave Vyzer alone in the middle of the woods when she died, so Vyzer started to display signs of magic in his teenage years Mitera sent him to the Skyla Academy to study magic. Not long after Vyzer left, Mitera finally passed, her duty finished.
