Hey guys! Today is a little different, here is my character's backstory!
The ashen one walked into the building, a thief attacked him, He blocked the first few attacks, then the thief yanked the shield out of his arms and slashed his chestplate, the ashen one grabbed his dagger and thrusted it into its gut, he picked up the dagger.
"I'll keep this, i'll use it for when I need a light weapon" He muttered to himself.
He ran down a flight of stairs, he looked around and spotted a woman's corpse, we walked over to investigate, she was clutching something, it looked like some kind of wooden ring, he took it out from her hands and read the words scribbled on the inside.
"Made by Aldred"
He collapsed, *like the gesture* and started to tear up.
"Mother…" He said quietly.
*Beginning of backstory/flashback*
"Aldred" His mother said in a sweet voice, "Aldred what happened?"
He looked down at all of the bruises and scratches on his arms and legs."T- The dogs started to attack me, so I ran into the woods, there were too many low branches, I got hit by so many…"
"Whose dogs?" His mother stood up practically yelling.
"His" He said pointing to a man watching them.
She walked over to him, and started yelling. The man started yelling back, he slapped her and he stumbled back. Aldrich got up and ran towards the man, screaming he was just about to punch when the memory faded, It went to a new one in a big open room, there was a straw dummy and a man sitting by the dummy. He roared as he punched the dummy, his hand cutting through it like butter.
"You have done well my son." A man said.
Aldred looked up and replied "Thank you father.
He walked out of the room, down some stairs and to the house, he heard a chuckle and was shaken from his memory.
"Ahhh what do we have here, Hello… Aldred."
Aldred spun around to look at the man, he looked the same as he did in the memory, just older.
"Who are you?" He said angrily.
"Merly but an old friend." He replied
"You're no friend of mine." He said drawing his sword.
"Now now, don't get to feisty, your mother was the same and look what happened to her." The man replied.
Aldred roared as he swung the katana at the man, who just simply dodged and tripped him.
"This is exactly what i'm talking about, everyone in your family fights like this, your father did, your mother did, and you do. You were even a knight who tried to link the first flame, granted you failed but still, you got that far." He said mocking him.
Aldred got up and charged at him, swinging, the man dodged again but aldred shoved his dagger in the ground and used it to swing him towards the man, He tried to dodged but his arm was nicked by the dagger.
"Not bad, your mother had a few surprises, but she was weak and frail, she was dead within minutes." He said mockingly
"Shut up!" Aldred yelled. He suddenly became embered but not just any ember, it was blue. His eyes were glowing like blue fire and he felt a huge boost of power. He charged forward and swung his katana, it missed the ban but a trail of fire was left behind and that seared his arm. He grabbed it and yelled in pain, Aldred looked at the man in the eyes and picked him up by the neck.
"You are wea-" The man was about to say, but before he would finish Aldred thrusted the katana into his gut and twisted it, slowly burning the man as he screamed in agony. Once he was dead Aldred dropped him and stumbled to his mother's body, falling over, unconscious by her.
Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter as much as i did writing it, I decided to give Aldred a name because i wanted him to be known by something other than "Ashen one" I also added in that power you just read about him using, what do you think? Remember to leave a review and tell me how he should learn to control it, I also decided to make his fire/ember Blue instead of Red for this, I will say, Red is when he is angry but Blue is when he is enraged, the reason I did this was Blue fire is usually hotter than Red fire, anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter, Remember to leave a Review and please favorite or follow this story if you like it! Anyways, bye!
