Cornlegus Di Journeyman is a compelling and multi-dimensional story that blends elements of fantasy, destiny, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The character of Cornlegus, blessed with unique abilities and shaped by his mother's sacrifices, provides a strong foundation for exploring themes of heroism, self-discovery, and leadership responsibilities. The narrative's interplay between different periods and realms adds depth to the plot and allows for various adventures and challenges. The elements of this story can be used to explore parallels between Cornlegus' journey of helping the weak and oppressed.
Cornlegus is a man of peace. But peace, at times, can only be won through war. So, he has been blessed by the gods with unique abilities that make him fit to fight and lead armies in battle. His life began as the child of a mystic sorceress. She was a woman driven by love who only used her powers to heal. But the fear and greed of those around her forced her to live a nomadic life carrying her son, Cornlegus, from place to place. She stayed and healed the sick in each place until the villagers drove her out or the opportunistic leaders tried to sell access to her gift. She never knew the gods kissed her son with his powers until it was too late for him to save her.
With her dying breath, she sends him on his quest as a journeyman, traveling from region to region helping those he could, learning what he must, and slaying those who preyed on the weak until a chance meeting with a great warrior king, Victus, changed his life forever. Though their first meeting is tense and nearly fatal, Victus takes Cornlegus under his wing and mentors him.
At the same time, two other wars in two different periods were being waged. The spirits draw Cornlegus from his time into other worlds where he fights for the weak and oppressed. He finally returns to his own time to learn that Victus is dead and he must take over as the warrior king. He leads valiantly. Then, with his wife and children by his side, he announces it is time for them to move on. A new leader is chosen in his place, and the InnerVoice, whom he had trusted to lead him, moves him to other realms where a rescuer, a savior, and a warrior are needed to bring justice.
