I just took the notion and wrote this about Damien, my main character...has anyone else ever done anything similar to this? Enjoy.

- Damien Wyrmsbane grew up as a boy in Moonglow. His father was a member of the High Council of Mages, and taught Damien what he knew of magery. Damien was intrigued and began to want to learn more of the arcane arts, and his parents obliged. He was sent to a small academy in the Yew Forest, and there boarded from the time of his 8th birthday until his 23rd, when his studies were over. He packed his belonings and began the journey home to Moonglow to see his family once again.
- As Damien stepped through the blue, glowing moongate in the woods near Moonglow City, all he could see were flames and dragons in the skies. He rushed home to the tower his parents and siblings lived in, carefully avoiding the high-flying dragons' eyes, but found only rubble. He rummaged through the ruins of his childhood home and found his father's spellbook, unharmed by the fire due to a spell of protection cast upon it.
- There was a rustle of leaves behind him and Words of Power were on Damien's tongue, ready to burn to cinders anyone who approached. From the forest behind the ruins of the tower came Damien's siblings. Enoch, Dominic, and Aeric slowly came from the trees and Damien asked where his mother and father were. The trio told him, they were dead in the rubble, and they had only time to save themselves before the tower collapsed. Damien became enraged and began spouting Words of Power he didnt even knew he understood at the trio. In the chaos that ensued, the three brothers were knocked unconsious and Damien ran through the moongate and ended up in Skara Brae.
- In this strange new city, Damien saw more people than he had seen in years. He eventually made a few friends in the tavern and around the bank, the most notable of which were Golgorian and Mercalius. They taught him the ways of the city and the world, and slowly Damien rose in power. He made friends with the Rangers of Skara Brae, thanks to Golgorian and began a career as a Ranger himself, not long thereafter.
- As Damien progressed in the field of magery and its ilk, the folk around him began to say he was a Grandmaster Mage among other things. Damien had never thought about this himself, but finally decided to try the one spell that would tell if they were right or if he was simply another wannabe magic user. He began the incantation, and moments later the smell of brimstone entered his nostrils, and a majestic red hellspawn was in front of him. Damien had reached Grandmaster status.
- Not long after the attaining of this status did Damien find his brother, Enoch, in the streets of Skara Brae. They talked, but Damien still held resentment in his heart toward his siblings. Enoch showed Damien the small tower his brothers had procured on Occlo island through long, arduous work from all of them and allowed Damien to see his other siblings. Apparently, as time ran its course Dominic had become no more than a petty thief, and Aeric was working the way of a craftsman. Damien spoke little to his brothers, yet always kept in touch. Damien told the brothers of how he held his father's surname, L'morte, sacred and never used it on himself as he wasn't worthy of the honor it held. His brothers took note, and also adopted Damien's chosen name, Wyrmsbane.
- Damien then showed them the large cabin he has acquired on his own, simply to boast that he has done better alone than he would have, had he stayed with them. Damien holds some kind of hatred for his brothers in his heart still, and never believes he can fully trust them. He prefers to do things alone, rather than as a group, because you cannot always trust the group you are with.
- To this day Damien is a reknowned Scholar, Mage, and Stoic among other things. He continues his quest to rid Britannia of the hated dragons and their ilk, and also holds the Rangers' code as his own.
