"I'm Mark Rydell. My parents were Adam Rydell and Pan Yi Xiao. My mother taught me until I was old enough to go to school, and both parents trained me when I was old enough to walk. I often was disciplined by my teachers for getting into fights with other students, though I never started any. After, I was pulled out of the school system to be taught at home, and I had several different tutors. When I discovered I had a power, my parents were unhappy with the idea of me going to Paradigm, but accepted it." Back to Top   You speak of legends... ...you don't know the meaning of the word.
