I thought I'd write a backstory my Wizard Xorthon. Soo here it is....
Long ago there was a mighty wizard by the name of Dorealen, who was one of the revered Starlight Mages*. One fateful day, Xorthon and his sister, Seliia were practicing the longbow when their father came stumbling in the yard. He was clutching a heavily bleeding wound in his shoulder. Xorthon and Seliia came running over and he motioned for them to stop. Then he took his hands and moved the very air around him into a cocoon. Xorthon asked his mother, a powerful druid, what was happening.
She spoke softly, "This is the starlight cocoon. One of the final steps to becoming a full starlight mage. He will remain inside until he is ready." She turned away abruptly, facing Xorthon.
"He wanted you to have this when this happened." She unwrapped a diminutive package, and placed a small vial in the young elf's hand.
"It's liquid starlight." she said, looking out into the sky. then quickly turned back to the shell which Dorealen lie within. "I'll take care of this,"
She whistled loudly, and a large reddish worm-like creature tunneled out from the ground. It's head radiated heat and magma as it surfaced. She looked at it hard, sending some sort of signal between them. The creature dug back down and this time emerged underneath the mighty wizards cocoon. Then Xorthon's mother jumped aboard a strange saddle on the thoqqua's** back.
"Continue you training Xorthon. You will one day be as powerful as you father." She spoke confidently. "Seliia, come."
The little elven girl hopped on the elemental and they rode away.
Since then Xorthon has been traveling, hoping to gain knowledge of how to become a starlight mage and where his long lost family is.
