      Tales of the Wizard Lyr: Decebal's Magical Experiments

      Many of the citizens of Bucharest considered Decebal to be a very mysterious figure. Although none of them were wizards, rumors of his magical abilities quickly spread throughout the city. Unfortunate idlers and chatterers with no better occupation widely discussed what was going on outside the doors of his house. Many times the guards at the prince's court visited his home, but never found anything suspicious. Decebal was a skilled wizard, able to hide things that were better not seen by ordinary people.

      One of his passions was magical experimentation. As a teenager, he crossbred vegetables with fruits and even trees. Later, his interests turned to more serious projects, such as creating hybrid animals. Unfortunately, animals of this kind did not live long. Being a scientist in the sixteenth century was highly honorable, but Decebal refused to work for the "crown," for which he was repeatedly tried to be punished. He had a unique magical talent and could use it even without a magic wand. Of course, without this magic item, his abilities were limited, but he could always defend himself.

      Among wizards, Decebal was known and respected. He strove to be recognized by the magical world. Every wizard in Romania knew his name, but over time they began to avoid him and pretend no one was home when he visited. The reason was the rumors of the scientist's new experiments. It was said that he was looking for wizards willing to be part of his dangerous scheme. Many wizards and sorceresses feared that one day Decebal would hunt them down. And, as it turned out, the rumors were not without merit.
