What was a genius?
It was a question rattling in the mind of Lord Edwin Silvermane. He had been dubbed a genius once upon a time and had lived up to its title. Reaching the realm of Seventh Circle had been no easy feat. In all the realm, there had only been seven. Fewer for those of Eight and Ninth.
It had been on the name day of the King Serilious, when he had been dubbed the Lord of the Seven Crowns, that he revealed his Eight Circles to the Realm. That was nearly a hundred years ago. Some said he had made it to the Ninth; others believed it was his Sword, Ser Varquess, that had touched upon such a realm. He had been of the Eight Realms long before Serilious had been crowned.
