Once upon a time in a forest...

Once upon a time, and a land far away, there was a man who lived in a forest. This man loved his forest and all the creatures in it. The creatures of the forest were his friends. The man was known by the villagers of the town on the edge of the forest as a druid of the forest, though his name was Jerrat. More times than he could count, the man had rescued lost children in the forest, or saved families from wild bears. He was a good man and he did good things and was loved and respected by most people he met.
One day while walking through his forest, Jerrat came across a clearing that he had never seen before. In the middle of this clearing there was a small pond, and a man sitting down in front of the pond. This was strange because he thought he knew every part of this forest, and usually the forest animals let him know when a stranger is in the forest. He walked into the clearing to greet the man, but before he could talk, the man stood up.
“Jerrat, of the forest of Ambridgen, you have been chosen”. The man’s voice was thundering, and it wasn’t a man at all. He was much larger than a man, and he was bathed in a heavenly light. There was no doubt in Jerrat’s mind that this was a celestial being. Jerrat walked over and kneeled before the being and swore an oath to protect those in need in his forest and to only do good. From that day on, Jerrat had become one of the blessed.

Uriel had always thought that this was just some kid story that he had heard while growing up, til he came upon a clearing in his forest, with a man sitting next to a pond. Knowing what would come next, he strode into the clearing with bold steps, but excitement that bordered on fear behind his stone expression. The celestial went through a short ceremony and blessed Uriel and his staff that had been passed down through five generations of his family. He and it were now blessed instruments of good.
