Zephyr
Well, he was a foolish child, always takign up dares.. besides, who can resist a "I Triple quadruple Dog dare you to drink that!"
He was 10 at the time. A yougn Elf growing up in a human family. Nobody knows what happened to his parents.
A Sorceror had a tower in the stretch of woods behind the villege. People feared it, said the sorceror was evil..
And they weren't far wrong.
Anyway, the yougn Elf and his buddies went out to the tower anyway, despite everybody's warnings to stay away...
And they all dared eachother to go inside.
Of course, Zephyr wasn't one to pass up a dare. And so he and his friends snuck into the dark tower.
They explored a bit util Zephyr came across a vial of a strange-smellign liquid. It didnt' seem like poison. Besides, ingested poisons have no effect on an Elf. If it was poison, it'd only make him sick.
His buddies saw him pick up the vial.
"I triple quadruple dog dare you to drink that!"
"You bet." the Elf smirked. "I'll drink every last drop!" He held up the uncorked vial.
The other boys chanted. THe moment came. He drank the whole thing in two swallows.
Nothing happened.
"Aw that was a dud!" whined one of the boys.
"This place is boring." said another.
"We better get home before Mom finds out." said another.
Zephyr nodded and the friends left, heading back to the villege.
Over the years that followed, Zephyr and the others completely forgot about the potion the Elf had drank.
Until he started to get older. WHen he reached puberty, strange changes started to take place. Not normal changes, like a deepening of the voice, a refining of the features, and the slimmign of the body, but strange changes. His hair darkened til it was black and tipped with red.. claws grew from his fingertips, and fangs grew fron his mouth. His eyes changed as well, fron the blue eyes of the Northern High Elf to the blodo red eyes of a strange cat. Black marks appeared under his eyes. and he only got more reckless.
Soon, one of the villege bums made the mistake of makign fun of him, bringing out something he had no idea he had...
The form of a huge sabor-toothed tiger, the size of a grizzly bear, maybe even bigger.
The bum fled.
Now he has complete control over this new form and is finding more and more powers that go with it..
As a 10 year old boy, he had inadvertently saved the world from the sorceror's evil plans...
I mean, isnt' it better for a foolish little boy to get a oober powerful beast form instead of an evil sorceror who wants to destroy the world?
He eventually grows up, and goes to join the Tanglewoods Rogues, where he fits in perfectly. He was a wanderer for a while, and met an Arctic Dragon. More on this on Xantos' section of this page.
