A Beekeeper's Penitence

 

 

A Summed-up Tale of a Revenant's Backstory

        In the "Year of the Sun" Eighteen Eighty-Four,  an Olgerian Peasent was born into a decently wealthy family of Beekeepers and he was a giant. Parents Julia and Alexander Tegira welcome their third son, Damien, into the world. Both of Damien's Brothers, Mattias and Richter, are pleased to learn that their brother is a healthy young man. Little are they aware, their mother has just birthed a demon. Damien had a stunted mental growth when growing up, opting out of participating with his brothers in lessons and sermons at their local church, even at the behest of his parents. Damien was too interested in the family business, cultivating Bees, but that's not what he did all the time. Damien was also interested in magics and daemons, recreating figures described in books out of clay and scrap. The child also had issues with getting along with his brothers and normally fought regularly but it's mostly his brothers who are picking on him.  
 

        It was Damien's birthday, his thirteenth if you will, and his family is preparing a feast with his friends and family but Damien is reluctant. Damien hasn't worked out his differences or his slurring with his family so he has been silent this entire time but responds in head nods and shakes. Damien wishes not to partake, due to his awkwardness and his scared feelings but instead work with the bees. After a bit of bickering from his brothers to his parents, Julia and Alexander agree to let Damien sit out his birthday but he doesn't get to eat their desserts they get. The boy was upset about this and began to throw and smash things around the house until his brothers tackled him to the ground. It ended up in a fight to where Damien, now armed with a large book, smashes one of the brothers over the head with it. Due to Damien's superior strength, it completely unwinded his brother, Mattias. Mattias was out cold and his parents were in shock as the boy's dad went to restrain Damien. Damien was dragged to the cellar to where he was kept for several weeks until his brother, Mattias, finally awoke. Though, Damien was immediately put back in at the behest of his brothers. 
 

        The young Beekeeper was kept in the cellar for several months but managed to escape after a breaching of the cellar doors that led outside. Damien had went missing for several weeks after such and his parents were worried about him but his brothers were the opposite. Guards of the Royal Crown of Kozimor, a Sovereign state of Olgeria, began to search for the massive teenager at the request of his parents. Damien was hunted and continued to be for three years to no avail.
 

         One night, during a dark winter night, a loud crashing of wood and glass was heard. The Parents awoke to find their two sons missing and immediately fled the house to scrounge the guards. During the Morn, the parents were conspicuous about a local hound sniffing around their Bee columns. After approaching the dens, that were left untouched during the winter, the bodies of Mattias and Richter were found half-sunken into the ground with mud covering their bodies. The parents were left stunned and became hermits after losing their three sons in less than three years. Several other bodies were found stashed in their bee columns as well, but were mostly dead pests. The bodies of the boys and the pests were found similar, having large indents on their heads from blunt force trauma. 

 

        A series of killings would take place in the lands of Kozimor, the bodies continuously found in the Bee gardens next to the Tegira residence. After a while of concluding evidence and pushing from Nobles, Princess Catherine Aarhaus III commanded for the arrest of Parents Julia and Alexander Tegira and ordered their executions. During the Spring of 1899, Julia and Alexander Tegira were hung in the square of Kozimor. After which, the killings have seemed to cease.
 

        In the Ports on the border of Olgeria, a murderous whoreson Apis Custos, is setting sail with dozens of beehives towards the lands of Aevos. Apis Custos would arrive fourty days later in Aevos, on 1901. A year and a quarter after his parent's execution.
