Slayers and Crossbows Backdrop
Wars End Month 1 Is the last year of the war against the Dark Queen Kamodo. Her downfall would bring in a new age, known as the Great Cleanse. In this period Radiance, God of Light would grow in power and in following. Predating his rise to power were a few unmentioned events prior to the end of the war. Prior to Shikika, B, Valen, X Luna and other brave heroes crossing the seas to end the dark Queen, this small period of time was known as The Wars End.
Character Intro Khan, Tiger Therian Slayer follower of Luna
During this time, Luna, all clan leader of the Therians, ordered all parentless cubs to the service of the front lines. Training had begun for these young ones. Those who performed well were sent into enemy territory, their child bodies making a perfect disguise. One such cub was in the training camps, summoned there to receive his training. Despite his performance and doing quite well, he was not sent to the front lines. The final battle had begun, and cubs were no longer needed. This was the final battle and because of this, all remaining cubs were sent to the mainland, to the human lands. There they could be far from the terrors of war and rebuild and repopulate someday if things did not fair well for the allies.
Khan was a therian, cat like in appearance. Some had referred to him as a tiger. His parents both had rank within the armies of Luna, both died in service of that army.
Khan had been alone during the rest of the war, mainly residing in training camps honing his skills. At the age of 16 he was still a cub in the eyes of his elders. With little other than fighting ability he searched for purpose.
Within the camps he was taken in by, the Circle. The circle was a druidic order that worshiped the Therian Goddess Luna, All Clan leader. She was the most powerful therian of all. As a Lycanthrope her form was that of a mighty wolf. Khan had even chanced a meeting with her at camp. She was strong, had black flowing hair and a mechanical leg. In all his days Khan had never seen such a thing. It was to be his fault that he stared a little too much. When the Goddess caught his eye she walked up to him, abandoning whatever important meeting she was the head of and spoke to Khan.
Have you a staring problem CUB? Demanded Luna menacingly.
Khan looked at the woman in front of him. She was fierce. Not just because of the battle scars, or even the artificial leg, it was the intense look in her eyes. Though her face was as calm as a still pond, her eyes shone with a spirit that Khan felt difficult to maintain his gaze at.
Speak Boy! Demanded Luna.
No All Clan Leader, I have no problem. I have heard soo much about you but not…
The boy had courage. He kept his gaze locked with hers. Even some of her own generals could not keep her gaze for long. This boy had spirit, thought Luna.
My Leg? Inquired Luna. Yes, few people talk about it openly. It was taken by Kilgore, something he paid dearly for I assure you.
Suddenly Luna turned, this boy is to the mainland, he has work to do! She ordered.
The other generals in the tent seemed puzzled. Khan had been one of the promising cubs, why send him with those less skilled? Away from battle?
As Khan now sat on a wagon bound for Hydrafel, he pondered his memories. Why had she sent him here? He had to admit, the idea of sending the weak to the mainland would allow him to serve the circle, to protect those of his kind that could not defend themselves, and to heal the injured. Some had criticized him of not becoming a Master of Beasts like many others in the circle. But when word got out that Luna talked to him personally, they suddenly supported his choice as priest of Luna.
Character Intro Kira Half Nymph/Half Elf Slayer, Wizard, Sage
Kira had enjoyed a life affected by war. For 8 years full scale war ravaged the Elvin people. For 50 years prior raids and attacks from the north came endlessly. Testing and prodding the Elvin forces with rarely anyone punished for their trespasses. Kira had otherwise a sheltered life. Only the best for the Elvin Kings daughter. Her mother had taught her much about the courts, about ruling as queen one day but always she had a look of worry. War had come very close to the doorsteps of the Elvin people homeland. A full scale attempt to wipe out her people had only been stopped by the sacrifices of the Therians, natural protectors of nature itself.
The Goddess and her friends had not only mustered a defense and helped complete a spell that would surround the city in a protective bubble, but they would meet in battle with the dark queen herself right on the very door step of the royal quarters.
Luna and her friends managed to land a single blow on the dark Queen, the first in history. It would be a precursor to the wars end, yet that war would take its toll.
With the dark Queen gone, the Elvin Queen must do what she must. Kira’s mother sent her to the mainland. With the Kauldron dark forces gone from those lands, her daughter would be safer there. She had been told about an academy, one of the most elite in training in the art of magic. Her daughter had shown great promise. The court wizards spoke of great magical potential, yet getting her to focus was like herding cats.
Shortly after Kira left home for the Academy of Higher Learning, news came of her fathers death in battle. A letter would be sent to Kira in her stead, informing her of her father’s fate, but it would not arrive in time to find her.
With all the excitement a young girl could muster she attended the academy with great vigor. The only problem is that her focus was not on learning spells rather, the attention of a certain human male. He was young, cute and very intelligent. Her interest in him seemed to soar her heart to ever new heights on a daily basis, and even the ideas of a future flittered across her mind about him….until he went missing.
Kira was devastated for months and in a full blown depression, until one day he returned.
