In the late 18th century lived in the East End of London a gentleman, his
name 'Longjon'.
He was a generous man, renowned for his herbal medicine, given free of
charge to the common people. Longjon had a passion for alchemy and studied optics, working in a mirror lab on light refraction. He was
celebrated by the riff raff of society infamous for his large, felt top hat
and a tendency to elaborate truths.
In his youth he traveled extensively around the world, thanks to his
friendship with ship owners who sailed regularly across the atlantic. During
one of these journeys he spent a long period in the forests of South
America. It is said that he came back carrying a special object given to him
by a shaman in the Amazon. The object, named in his diary as 'La Flecha'
(Spanish for 'The Arrow'), apparently provided him with the key elements for
his alchemy and optics work.
Longjon had a remarkable constitution, his age as ambiguous as his origin,
his body was unblemished by age. Seemingly immune to any type of ailment. He spent days locked up in his laboratory situated in the annexe of his house. It seemed as if he ran on thin air; sleeping little and eating even less. But as the weeks and months went by, time for company began to disappear. Longjon seemed to barely exist until one day he was gone. Those who knew him suspected he had taken to traveling again and had died in a distant land. He left nothing, not a single trace of existence. Strangely, apparent sightings were made at the turn of the 20th century and again during the Blitz in the Second World War.
To this day nothing has been found proving his existence. Only a diary was
found on an island in the south Pacific. Locals talked about a strange foreign
man who spoke the local language and who was obsessed with the search of the 4 arrows, a known myth about 4 magic arrows given to the prince of Ma'Willi in his youth.
