Hi, I'm Blake, the Human.

I leave my town, Aturi, to travel to Seantryn Modan with my family every day to sell our farming products so we can get enough money to purchase farm animals and wood. Unfortunately, one day, we are beset by wild brigands who summon wolves and set fire to our wagon, throwing our gold and silver into the pyre.

I need to protect my family, so I begin training with a wandering knight with a practice SPEAR from Balator. After some time, I am deemed ready to join the warrior and seek greater strength, but first I must travel to gather more practice weapons.

Upon meeting this powerful, crazed person and gathering the necessary weapons, he accosts me, shouting at me to listen to his tales of wicked magic-using scum! I, being a young, impressionable youth, am fascinated by his tales of delivering blows of deadly force. If I could do that I know I could protect my family.

Soon, I am progressing well, but I am told by a noble pious smith that I must stain my hands with the blood of a mage in order to learn such powerful things. And I must discard the use of all magic. Hell, magic is expensive! You need books, and scrolls, and years of training. Half the time your spells don't even work because you lose concentration! It's why you've learned master the art of ADD, allowing you to move within the SPACE BETWEEN HEARTBEATS once you get the timing completely down. You don't need magic, because heck, it hasn't ever seemed like something that was all that attainable.

So you search for the foul raisers of the dead that have terrorized villages and their graveyards for years. Finally you find one, sitting alone in Galadon, not cloaked in the magic that makes so many of them hard to see. And you merely walk up to him and sweep his legs out from under him, knowing that you'll be able to stab him with your spear while he is stunned from such a manuever.

After speaking with that pious smith, he furthers you along you path to learn the legendary blows of deadly force by allowing you to focus your vision into something that allows you to see what is normally hard to see. THIS IS AMAZING?!?!?! I've been told that only legendary creatures and magic allows most people to do this, but I can do it simply by shaping my own anger!

Finally one day I am led past a massive giant who guards this...village of those who seek the Raging Battle. I am shown a massive skull throne and other wonderous sites, including what seems like a very strange, incredibly preserved mage head. It seems to give inspiration to those of us within this village, and for the first time I felt my skin thicken and grow strong in its' pale light. It serves to further inspire us as it is proof we will achieve victory and even wonderous barriers of magic will not protect you from us as we stick to the areas near our home, for our powers are unreliable for now.

Eventually I am told I will learn to throw myself into a berserk rage. It is similar to a teaching I have already learned from a wise elf named Erenthell in the City of Light. Except this rage will keep blood pumping far faster than is typically normally. I have delivered my first blow of incredible force, but it was not deadly enough yet. All of these things shall be available in time.

As my life in the village continues, I find myself enjoying the time I spend with I companions, though they are a completely insane, stupid lot. However, the mix of insanity and courageousness is quite invigorating. Plus, I notice the time all my contemporaries spend in far off places trying to find a potion or two to allow them to compete with my self-trained abilities. All I gotta do is slay some crazed demon-loving warrior-mage a few times, sometimes by just letting my spear do it's work for me. That's not too bad. Though I notice that many powerful items that I almost covet in many of their corpses. So shiny. I almost want to grab all they own, stuffing it in a sack I found from the skin of the former Emperor, but I don't. I will if they make me mad again, and then I'll make sure their friends are told the same. I have learned that the best is the dwarven way. Hammer a wall with your head until you knock it down. Or my new AXE.
