"Teen Titans: The Abandonment"
(Ch.3 Francis's History)
"Don't be shy Francis, you have to trust these people sooner or later," said SAM. " Well My real name is Feuer-Damon which means Fire Demon. I am from Germany. I was raised by Franciscan Monks and took me in. I believe I was there, what do you call it 1140 AD. I don't age like you, do I have lived for almost over a thousand years and I am only 16. When I first came to the church my father said I came from the stars in an egg. When I hatched I was a little bit of a bundle. I was able to breathe fire at 2 weeks. Later on I had the ability to fly. I was teased by some of the apprentices at the church. One day an apprentice named Gregor was making fun of the way I look and he and his friends threw rocks at me. A teenage girl drew out her bow and convinced them if they touch me again she would fire without hesitation. That teenage girl was Angel. She defended me when I was young.
One night an Army Battalion came to the church and said that we where hiding an assassin. My father came to explain that we where companions of God. The leading knight drew out his sword and stabbed his heart. I saw my loved one fall to the ground with innocent blood split. I became enraged and all of a sudden I couldn't control myself, my scales shook like rustled leaves, my eyes became red with the blood I have spilt, my voice sounded as though the devil took my body, and I grew a greater height than any man can imagine. I slew all of the Knights as though begging children and gave them a look of terror that they carried to hell. When morning came, I buried my father near his favorite picnicking spot near the ocean. The rest of the monks couldn't take care of me any more because of my frightening feature. Angel took me and taught me how to defend myself, also new techniques of how to use my surroundings, and eject poison from my tail. Later on when I was ready Angel and I did bounty missions. Our most dangerous mission was when the Saxon army was coming to invade a Roman camp. The Saxon's numbers were too much to count. At the night when we were setting up the battleground I had to spy on the Saxon's to see what they were planning. At the edge of the camp there was a man that I took and interrogated him. He was a stubborn ass and didn't give up. So I had to that look of terror just to get something. When I was ready to begin I saw a little boy that was the man's son. He was trying to look for him. All of a sudden the boy's life left the earth just like ash disappearing in the wind. I never forgot the face of the innocent dead.
The next morning, fires arose the ground like never before. I did aerial attacks from breathing fire and dropping boulders. Angel was a Calvary commander of the Roman legion in that battle. We won the fight but I lost my intouch feeling. I asked myself many times why I am I in this world where I feel so different. Like as though a stray dog. Finally Angel and I decided to go to southern Europe and camp out there and find a team willing to change the world, so that light can once again touch the dark surface and give it a new perspective. A dark life, huh?" asked Francis " I'm sorry for what you have experienced Francis," Beast Boy said sadly. "Yes I am as well my green companion," replied Francis with enlightenment. Raven was having random thoughts in her head as though deciding if this dragon was a lighted soul or if there is a past that hasn't been told. "SAM how about you tell us you story," suggested Cyborg. " I you want to hear it then I guess I will." said SAM.
