History

Not much is known about his past life when he was human he lived in Dragons Port town Markas rarely seen or talked about his parents at the age of 12 he was led away from town where one his father's closest friends guided him into a forest, his name was Armas and he was a elven swordsman whom chose the path of the sword instead of magic he also chose to live within the land of man despite his fathers wishes, there was another close friend of his father's as well her name was Xundia she was a half drow sorceress her father was a wood elf and mother was a drow. She was banished first from her home in Athusundrel where her father lived, then from her home within the underdark where her mother had lived, throughout most of his childhood Markas spent his time in solitude for the next five years where he learned many things one was ultimately how to survive, yet when Markas decided to return home after being away for four years yet to his surprise he met with Armas and Xundia once again both seemed older but they still looked the same in appearance as he remembered them.

He was now 16 and had grew up into a fine young man yet as the three of them moved through the land Markas thought that there would be a grand reunion with his parents brother and sister, but what Xundia explained during the years of his absence a group of vampire mercenaries had served under his father she told him that his father was betrayed by them, when they killed his father, mother, brother, sister and everyone and burned the town Armas continued by telling him that the fires within town had ceased and had been deserted for quite sometime. For the next several months Markas, Armas and Xundia moved to live in another town, yet long before they arrived there the town had been raided and while they were there Xundia had told, of him of the Drakuls that had betrayed his father stating that they managed to kill only five of them. Yet that there were three of them left after hearing, what Armas and Xundia had told him of the tragic death of his family Markas vowed, that he would find all those responsible.

He also ensured that they would pay dearly for their betrayal, but before he could depart on his quest Xundia bestowed unto Markas Xeo'Rac telling him that this sword was used by his father in many battles during his time in the war many years ago. Yet she had been told by his father that his sword should be presented to Markas, when he became of age she had told him that it was made, from the fang of a black dragon that his father had defeated in combat. Xundia went on to tell him that it had been forged into this sword, by a blacksmith in her fathers she even told him, that it was imbued with magic by a sorcerer from her father's village. Now with his new sword and vengence set in his heart Markas set out on his quest, for revenge with Armas and Xundia two years passed, they were still living in the town yet during that time. it was raided by orcs many were killed, one of them being Xundia she had sacrificed herself, for Armas and Markas despite the death of their close friend. Markas and Armas split ways traveling in opposite directions, yet he began to hunt those who were responsible for his families death, hunting and killing one after the other in simular fashion it wasn't until five years later.

He was now 23 and had grown up into a mature man his journey finally came to an end for it brought him face to face, with the last of the vampires who had betrayed his father, long before they split Armas had told him about this rogue mercenary. Just before the raid and their departure from the town Armas said, that the main one who was responsible was named Morgoth and from, the information given to him by Xundia long ago. Morgoth was a shade sorcerer who was possessed by the spirits that he summoned, he had told him that Morgoth was once a desert nomad named Keltaro, yet when Morgoth was at a young age he was orphaned. When his parents were killed by bandits Armas continued by telling him, that Morgoth had wandered off into the Cadarahian Desert, then within a few weeks he was discovered by the sorcerer Donovan. From that point on Morgoth had become his apprentice, however later in the following years Donovan was killed by raiders, Keltaro became enraged and consumed with anger he began summoning spirits to aid him.

However these spirits were damned and too powerful for him therefore these spirits, possessed him causing him to renounce his humanity upon his transformation, Keltaro was transformed into a Drakul from that point on. he began calling himself Morgoth he remembered one other thing, that Armas had told him that Morgoth was a shade combined with the powers of a sorcerer. His magic powers were considered outmatched by that, of a necromancer in addition to having magic, Morgoth also had superhuman strength and finesse in combat. His most potent power was his resistance to death Armas had told Markas that if a Shade, was not pierced through the heart they would merely, reappear elsewhere stronger than ever. Once Markas had found him the two ensued in combat the battle, between them was long and fierce as each outmatched the other, yet before Markas could kill Morgoth he escaped. Just before he could pierce his heart with his father sword, Markas was angry and became obssessed with ending, Morgoth's life Markas began traveling once again, with his fathers sword upon his back.

For the next two years Markas traveled far and wide searching through, various lands before finally encountering Morgoth, once again only this time when they ensued in combat. Markas managed to defeat him by plunging his father's sword, deep into Morgoth's black heart Markas now, with his vengence finally served not knowing the price that he would pay Markas willingly summoned the very spirits unto himself. Yet unlike Morgoth, he was able to control them due to his strong will and determination, he did not become an evil tyrant instead he became a powerful sorcerer. Who possessed the powers over the darkness he also acquired apart of Morgoth himself becoming a half breed of human and vampire Markas who was now 26 had choices to make, and vowed that he would use his very powers as a shadowmancer for good but if it came to it he would use them for far worse against anyone that attempted to control him.

After finding his way downstairs and into the bar Alesto moved with such finesse that his boots, lightly touched the surface of the wooden floor hardly ever making a sound. It was as if he was walking on air those dark hazel eyes briefly scanning the room as he moved across the floor, toward the table where his wife and mother of their three unholy trio and a forth on the way. Taking his seat beside her Alesto motioned the tender over and upon arrival ordered bloodwyne. (c)

Markas Graves /me heard the tone and seriousness within her voice indeed the unholy trio did leave them but that was many months ago and both of them had ventured here without them, When she leaned her head against his shoulder Alesto moved his hand into hers while his other moved up to slowly lift her gaze to meet his. "Worry not...Soon you will be rid of him." he began those dark hazel eyes peering deep within hers. "We just we have to find someone here who is capable of such a feat." he said it was true the lone archaic had tried to help her by help of a necromancer. For a time she was free but the spirit of Lestat came back and possessed him and caused her pain in the desert, something that he truely had not forgotten and yet she had forgiven him even going as far as to bare not is first child which was stillborn, however Alesto knew that the same fate would not happen to the second child.

His pale ashen hand slowly moved to the left side of her face and softly caressed her cheek "Just hold on abit longer." he paused. Those dark hazel eyes peering deep within hers once again. "I am not leaving you." he paused and smiled lightly "This I will promise you." he said and it was true, the mere tone of his voice told her truthfully that he would never leave her side and would not dare of doing so now.

nodded to hearing her response that she would hunt him down "it will not come to that." he said shaking his head lightly, then moving his other hand up to take the glass from the table and moved it up to his lips for a quick sip which was soon swallowed with a light gulp. Placing the glass back on the counter the lone Archaic turned his gaze to meet hers when she spoke that, one was hurt within these walls to which his eyes peered down to her small bulge of a stomach his hand moving to lightly glide over it. "I am certain that there is an even more powerful necromancer here." he began. "But where do we look? I mean if we were to ask publically I am certain that we would get all sorts of looks from the patrons within this place." he said with nod. While his eyes peered back up to look within hers while his hand moved lightly over the slight bulge of her stomach.

Alesto - sighed and shook his head "I have done as much as I can to perfect my skills as a Necromancer by reading various types of books. It is not easy mon cheri." he began, "Perhaps if I had the right teachings instead of learning on my own I could rid Lestat's spirit from your soul completely." he paused. "But I am afraid that we have waited far too long and it is only a matter of time before he comes for me and I am afraid that I will not be able to fight him off this time." he said then he turned his gaze toward the woman that approached and shook his head lightly "Yes we are husband and wife." he said "Have been for many years." he added with a light nod.

Alesto Draven Turned his gaze toward Nove as she heated not only her body but his own as well sure even being Archaic was he not able to warm his blood, for that was not what being an Archaic was however they are able to walk among the living in broad daylight. They were also quite capable to produce children with the opposite sex, but it took longer than eight months for the child to fully develope within the mothers womb. "Yes...and even so mon cheri we are husband and wife." he then turned his attention to the boy. "What gave us away?" he asked with a lofted brow those dark hazel eyes peering within the boys as if staring into his very soul.

Alesto Draven lightly laughed to hearing the boys response and immediately turned his attention to his companion, the Archaic could sense something troubling between the pair before Nove and himself however when Alesto turned to the boy once again he nodded. "So what are you and your companion doing here alone kid." he paused allowing his words to trail off before continuing. "Don't you have a family that is looking for you?" he asked with a lofted brow.

Quickpaw Hurojo awakes after having been asleep for several years. Around the area was only void. It was empty. Dark. Cold. "Where... where have the spirits placed me?" He started patting his body all over; ensuring that he was corporeal. "Not dead; that's a plus." Though there was no time to lose. If he was corporeal, that likely means that he could return to the world he knew, and hopefully return to his king. He began running, hoping to find an exit to this ethereal obscurity.
