Founding Father |
Our story begins many winters ago,as Terwin and his family were, heading home from
visiting his grandfather's abode in the snowfist region.As they where making
their way home back to Halas, a strong snow storm started to blow in from,Frosteye
Valley.Being just on the edge of the river, the family decided to try and
make it to Halas,before the storm got worse.Having cross the river with minimal
difficulty, it happened. A good size goblin raiding party, along with several
dozen trained rats ambushed the small family.Terwin's father and 2 older brothers
pulled their swords and axes and prepared for battle , yelling for the women
to make a run to the safety of the Halas tunnel. Terwin having been poking behind
a little dodged behind the nearest tree, scared with fright at the scene before
him.As he peeked from behind the tree he watched as a force of goblins broke
from the main group with several of the rats and slaughtered his mother and
three sisters.As he looked Terwin knew he would not make it to the tunnel and be
able to alert the guards and get help ,as he too would be cut down before he
took 3 steps.Turning around and weeping now,Terwin heard a blood curling scream
, as he turned just in time to see his oldest brother cut down.Now the odds where
as soon as his other brother and father where overwhelmed by this force they
would find him next.As he put his hands over his eyes and began to cry, Terwin
felt something standing over him.Daring to look he noticed a huge bear, with
tears running down from its eyes,and yet a buring rage of hate burned there also
as it looked upon the scene before it.Suddenly the bear let out a great growl,making
all heads turn his way.Then it seemed as if from thin air , there where
many wolves and big cats converging on the scene.to the surprise of the goblins
the animals tore into them with a fury unseen by Terwin.And all this time the
bear stood guard over Terwin, protecting him from harm.Knowing now the bear meant
to protect him , Terwin turned and looked to see not one goblin had survived
the animal onslaught,but at the same time they had been a little too late, for
his older brother and father lay in the ground, blood mixing with the snow.And
then one by one the animals dissappered as quickly as they had appeared. Turing
back around terin noticed the bear was gone and in its place was his grandfather
standing over him. Picking Terwin up his grandfather said, "Come we will take
the dead and bury them,then you shall come to live with me and learn the ways
of the Shaman , so you can help something like this to never happen again ,
and to aid those you will one day travel with, for I see a time in the future when
you will leave this land and travel the length of this world helping where
ever you can." And as they started the grim task of burying the bodies Terwin took
out his hatred and fusrations out on several dead rats by kicking them as hard
as he could. And well my friend as they say the rest is History ;) |
