Chapitre 7 is now posted. Now some background on some of the characters...
Shazam!
Solomon...Hercules...Atlas...Zeus...Ach illes...Mercury...these dieties have given a portion of their amazing abilities to a wizard named Shazam thousands of years ago to help humanity and combat evil throughout ancient Egypt and the world. When his time had passed, he gave his powers to a protoge named Teth Adam, who upon calling the wizard's name, became Mighty Adam. However the power corrupted him and Adam set forth to conquer the world instead of helping it. Angered by this, Shazam changed his name to Black Adam and banished him to the farthest known star 5,000 light years away, since he could not take away his powers. Thw wizard then decided whoever gets his powers must be pure of heart.
Fast forward to 1939...New York City. 10 year old Billy Batson, orphaned by the death of his parents and forced to live off the streets followed a mysterious being into an abandoned subway. Coming face-to-face with the aged wizard Shazam, he told Billy that he was pure of heart and to speak his name. Billy shouted out "SHAZAM!". With a bolt of lightning, the 10 year old was transformed into Captain Marvel: The World's Mightiest Mortal. At the same time, a 2 ton granite stone being held above the wizard by a single thread came crashing down, crushing the wizard. Returning as an ethereal spirit, Shazam explained to Captain Marvel his mission and that he could be summoned by lighting the brazier in the subway.
Shazam's throne is located in a place called The Rock of Eternity, a mountain floating between the boundries of space and time, a focal point of all dimensions and in most cases, not accessible to mortals.
