The Backwards Man Part VI For Kathy's challenge

Sister Sophia beckoned the Backwards Man
to a stone bench nestled neatly upon
the green grass under the Frangipani trees,
which were in full bloom of linen whites, sunshine yellows and sunset pinks.

"It was odd," Thought the Backwards man to himself,
"to see such beauty amongst such cold misery."

"Tuomas Macros," Began Sister Sophia, invoking his
real name, a name that he had not been called in years,
a name that he, himself had forgotten. As long as he could remember
he had always been called "The Backwards Man".

"It is time to reveal your true identity, Magician, and call upon the magic you
have always had but never knew, Our world needs your help....."
