Drakvar’s first
memory isn’t a happy one.
Drakvar stumbles
backwards as the fist connects with his face. Pain lances through his body with
his head as the point of origin.
With no idea
what is going on as he is unable to remember anything before this point, Drakvar
clenches all four of his hands into fists as he swings them all at his
attacker.
Drakvar recognises
his opponent as one of his own species, a Kith.
Kith. A tall four armed species of felines with
fur that stand on their hind legs. One of the three sentient species on the
planet Lyatar of the Lycric System.
The
one in front of him is a tall Kith of over two and half metres high. He is lean
with slim muscular build and a light layer of pale brown fur covering his body
while the sleek hair on top of his head is heavier, darker and longer. On top
of that, the Kith is wearing white plain cloth with some black armour over the
chest.
Meanwhile
Drakvar is a lesser specimen as he is barely taller of the Kith average of two
metres. While he also has a slim and lean muscular build, Drakvar has a light
layer of rust brown fur covering his body with thick spiky black fur on his
head.
All
four of Drakvar’s fists slam into his opponent with one catching the hostile
Kith in the face. The Kith is knocked off his feet and goes tumbling backwards.
He crashes into the street and groans weakly before going limp as he loses
consciousness.
As
Drakvar turns to leave, he suddenly notices the other Kith surrounding him, all
looking sleazy and thuggish.
This isn’t good..
“Hey
Blackborn!” yells one of the Kith surrounding Drakvar, of which he can count
seven, “You can’t just walk ‘way after punching out Boss Falmar!”
And with that, the Kith rushes Drakvar.
Drakvar blocks the oncoming fist before stepping back to block a second attack
from another Kith. A punch from a third attacker winds Drakvar as he is hit in
the gut and he steps back before throwing a punch into the face of the closest
thug.
But
the numbers of the thugs soon becomes apparent as Drakvar takes more punches.
He staggers backwards, doubling over as he takes a couple of nastiest hits.
No. I shall not fall these thugs.
With
a defiant snarl, Drakvar smashes his fist into the chest of one thug, sending
the Kith flying through the air before snapping the arm of another with his
right arms and tossing the thug aside. A punch comes his way, but Drakvar swats
it aside.
Drakvar
knees one of the remaining thugs in the gut before headbutting another thug who
tries to attack him. He smashes a fist into the side of the winded thug before
smacking the headbutted thug away from him.
Drakvar
takes another hit to head, but just ignores the pain as he blocks another punch
from the other of the two final thugs.
After
seeing how Drakvar has singlehandedly demolished the rest of their group, the
last two thugs decide to leg it.
“Slug
it!” yells one of them as he runs away.
Dravkar
lets them go as he turns to go on his way.
Hmm, now I just need to find
somewhere to live.
So this is a just a short story I wrote. Drakvar will be a important character in the future of Legacy and is one of my more fleshed out characters. And the parallels he shares with Legacy I also found interesting. Anyway, Drakvar plays a major part in the background of Legacy. For example, the Entities, the Harbingers and the Ascendant all consider Drakvar to be one of their greatest enemies. In addition, Drakvar shares a past with the Guardian as well. In fact, Ceta once once offered the position of Guardian to Drakvar, but he turned it down, claiming that he had enough people to help others already and there were others who could use the power of the Guardian better than him.
ReplyDeleteSince Drakvar's story happened in the past, I don't believe it would be spoilery to say that Drakvar is only sixteen at the time of this interlude and is almost seven hundred and fifty when Legacy takes starts. I will also say that at the start of Legacy, Lyatar has lost over sixty percent of its planetary mass, the Lycric Star is destablised and that the Kith species numbers less twenty thousand.
Anyway, next time, we have the same next time as last time.
