Kod-mezu Chronicle
Why is it that Crystal Shields are restricted to the Kod-mezu when the other races are btter suited for doing such hard hits? Putting it simply, the magic put into the fighting style of a Crystal Shield is for Speed and Accuracy, which are principle attributes that the Crystal Shields themselves boast about.
However, Le-radelle, daughter of two Kod-Mezu high priests and an enchantress by profession, was able to teach her bodyguard how to be a Crystal Shield. What makes this so wondrous is: Her bodyguard is a full blooded Gasoru.
One night, bandits struck Le-radelle's home. Upon seeing the thieves, she quickly ordered her bodyguard, then a master of the Crystal Shield's stance, to make quick work out of the would-be intruders. Le-radelle had a seat fashioned on her bodyguard's back, and after demonstrating her bodyguard's awesome power, she quickly switched profession as a soldier of the Mezian army, quickly advancing ranks, becoming the youngest captain in Kod-mezu history.
Le-radelle explained that she saddled on her bodyguard's back to grant him easy exposure to her magical field. This way, she was able to properly heighten his senses and magically guide each strike made, as well as speed up his reflexes. This method, however, could not be replicated by any other enchanter, and Le-radelle went down in history as the only Kod-mezu to ever teach an outsider the Crystal Shield profession.
Little did the Kod-mezu know that Le-radelle gave birth to a child with Gasoru blood.
