Here is Omdeo in his youth, facing the entrance of the Cave of No Return. This name was given to it because of the countless heroes, adventurers and even armies sent went to explore it and who have never returned. This more famous name, given after so many have presumably perished in it, is not its real name. It's real name is the one who have attracted so many envy for its secrets. It's real name is the Cave of Infinite Treasure. Nobody knows what is the nature of this treasure. Some say that it must be riches beyond the imagination, some others say that the treasure is more of a spiritual nature. There is even some people to say there is actually nothing at all in the depths of the cave and that the name was given to fool greedy people and to bring them to their death. Omdeo had no clear idea of what he could find in the cave, but, already at the summit of his art, he was seeking a challenge able to give him a greater knowledge of the secrets of universe and a greater knowledge of the secrets of his inner-self. For a year he explored the cave going alway deeper and deeper, facing dangers that cannot not be describ, until he reach the final depths of it. Few months after a protal opened in the center of the University of Magic and he appeared from it. All who saw him that day told he was surrounded by a sort of aura and that it was barely possible to look into his eyes, because they had the impression they would drown in the infinite by doing so. After few days the aura dissapeared and his eyes became normal again, which made people wondering if they hadn't dreamed of what they saw. Omdeo never talked of what he really found in the Cave. The only thing he seemed to have brought back from it was a staff whose the top was shape like a golden dragon laying on a red crystal ball. But after he came back, he quickly became known as the greatest mage who ever lived. __________________________________ The soundtrack of the depths of the cave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgdJp5DRQ90 Another picture with young Omdeo. I don't have all the details of his life, but I have already imagine some of his deeds. This one being probably the most important in his personal life. So, What do you think he really found in the cave? No postwork on this one, except th adding of the black bands and my signature.
