human Forging the Past

[TheDragonsRoost 116]

Everything burns.

Marcus had that dream again. The dream of fire.

Everything changes.

Marcus Reyn, the eldest son and the last living son of the clan Reyn, had seen his parents and younger siblings burn in a village towards the southern portion of the continent, towards the ice plains. Only he survived the devastating fire, but he did not leave the village unscathed. He heard his parents screaming in pain as well as his younger siblings, forever scarring the poor boy’s mind from their screams that echoed into his deepest nightmares.

Everything is forged in fire.

Marcus got up and off his bed, which was nothing more that dyed rugs that he laid down upon the ground. The night turned into a bright sunny day north of the city of Haense where Marcus made camp. It wasn’t a bad day to wake up to, especially since he did not sleep that well last night. It was also a pretty bad day for Marcus’ emotional state as the nightmare only really helped to depress Marcus even more, which he was already depressed to begin with. He doesn’t know how or why, but that fire was something else entirely.

Over the last few years, Marcus had grown into a fine young man that presented himself as a kindhearted traveler, despite his Highlander origins and his crippling depression that he tried so desperately to hide from those he’d meet. However, when he fell asleep, that depression would take shape as a nightmare of that night when the fire killed his parents and younger siblings, orphaning him to the wide world at the young age of six.

 

Though he knew how to wield a blade, read, write, and other such things, his depression made things complicated. He’d be vulnerable to acts of heroism and fits of rage while also being left unable to tolerate those who speak falsehoods against his beliefs.

 

Everything begins with a simple wish.

Marcus simply opened his hazel colored eyes and stared towards the skies, breathing in and out and ready to begin his day....
