Personalities: Trystan (Soquili) - Desperate to earn a title for himself and leave a legacy that would forever survive the test of time, Trystan is ambitious and rather careless, too eager to prove himself to the world. Trystan has taken on many a dangerous challenge, succeeding sometimes, but most often times failing with his tail tucked between his legs.
Balfure the Scourge (Familiar) - Judged prematurely, Balfure has been designated as the scourge due to his thieving habits. He favors shiny objects, so he takes what pleases him and catches his eye to decorate his den. Balfure has no concept of empathy, and objects that he finds lying out in the open offen end up in his possession, as he is unaware of the consequences of his actions. Many talltales have been spun about the Scourge, as Balfure has never really been seen by anyone, but his influence has been felt by many as they mourn lost times and family heirlooms. Many bounties have been posted for his capture to bring him to justice, but so far none have succeeded in capturing the infamous Scourge.
History/Story: Trystan has gone on many a quest in an attempt to make a legacy for himself. Most of the accepted quests have just been simple errands, as no one is foolish enough to entrust Trystan with more than supply gathering and pest control. Although he means well, he’s never been very careful, and that’s done great damage to his attempts at glory. Trystan, unwittingly, has earned himself a rather unpleasant title, and the citizens of his small town have bequeathed him the name of “Trystan the Incompetent.” Many dared me not to accept his assistance, turning to other, more capable adventurers that come in to town. After being turned away from all the shopkeeps in town, the stallion was beginning to think he would have to leave his cozy village and head out in to the world. While that certainly wasn’t the most ideal plan to him, as he would have much preferred to leave town with a title to celebrate and build on top of, it wasn’t the end of the world and he knew he would one day have to leave town. Down on his luck, Trystan overhears that a valuable tool of healing has been stolen, and many lives are in danger as this hearing item is their last hope. Desperate to prove himself, the stallion sets off to apprehend Balfure the Scourge, the one who he believes is responsible for the theft of the item.

Delighted to finally be graced with something bigger and better than running errands for the shopkeeps, Trystan went to apprehend the Scourge and bring him to justice. He would be renowned in his village and the other locales that had felt the impact of the Scourge’s thievery, at long last he would get the title he had long so desired. After searching for days, Trystan had finally unearthed the location of Balfure’s den and he was ready to apprehend the villain. He sees a small lizard living in squalor, surrounded by the objects stolen from town.
He sees Balfure survivng on scraps, he then feels a pang of empathy as he comes to the understand that Balfure isn’t a malevolent being, but a young creature just trying to survive with a penchant for shiny objects. Unwilling to bring harm to the creature or bring Him back to a town that despises him and would wish to punish him, Trystan retrieved the needed eating item and hid Balfure’s den in order to protect the young lizard from harm. He returns to town with the stone, but without Balfure and spin a tale of failing to capture the Scourge. The town begrudgingly thanks Trystan for retrieving the coveted healing item, but simultaneously mocks him for his failure in Balfure’s capture.

Trystan accepts the mockery, understanding that it is better to protect the innocent than to act for his own pride.
Extra Information: eventually Trystan returns for Balfure, wishing to help the lizard out of squalor, and takes him on as a companion to teach the ways of the world to. So Balfure could emerge as not Balfure the Scourge, but with his true name, Valefor the Gentle.

*huffs and puffs from rushing to get this done after work and passes it off just before collapsing* I made it! Just in time!

History/Story:On a day that began much like any other, the sun rose in the East and the first bright rays awoke a dappled knight who rested beneath a large tree, no longer exhausted from the long travels of the previous day. With a yawn and a stretch Klahan rose and started his morning with a few apples that were scattered on the ground around him. The young stallion pondered to himself over what the day might bring as he finished his meal and set out on his way. He didn’t have a real goal in mind, he was just traveling for the sake of seeing the world at the moment so he had nowhere to be but it seemed that the universe had plans for him this day.

From across the plains Klahan heard the tell-tale signs of a battle taking place and he took off at a gallop over the nearby hill to get a glimpse of the event. As he reached the crest he saw a dragon attacking a mare and it as it made a swipe for the jewels she wore he chose his side. Rushing in with his sword flashing he fought valiantly to drive the red creature away. Eventually after many blows were traded he claimed victory as it hissed at him before turning and slinking away across the hills. A few moments of time were spared to make sure the mare was ok, and he escorted her back to the herd before moving off on his own again. He really didn’t feel comfortable with praise and rewards, he was a knight because he wanted to see justice and the world in balance, not for fame or fortune and so, away he went, traveling the plains until sunset.

The next morning he set out again and the sounds of battle once again drew his attention. What a busy place this was! Concerned it may be the mare from the other day Klahan made his way swiftly towards the source. What he saw upon arriving was a skinwalker trying to enter a cave dug into the side of one of the other hills and for a moment he wondered why it was screaming until a flash of red made him aware of another creature. He watched for a few moments trying to figure out which side he should choose and that choice became more difficult when he realized the skinwalker was fighting with the dragon from the previous day. Oh how the tide had turned. He huffed out a breath, confused by the incident but it became obvious to Klahan as he watched that the dragon was guarding something. Perhaps that was its home? With a snort he charged down the hillside and into the fray, his mind already made up about which side he would be serving.

As he neared he reared up and called a challenge to the skinwalker, his hooves coming down just inches from the wicked creature. He snorted and stomped, lunging forward and striking out with his front hooves, swinging his sword with well-practiced ease until the skinwalker retreated off over the hillside. Klahan gave chase for a bit, to make sure it was truly leaving, before returning to find the small hole in a hillside and he paused for a moment before calling out to the creature he expected had retreated inside. ”Hello? Are you alright in there?” he questioned and shifted his weight from side to side as he waited for some sort of response.

Eventually the red creature poked its head out and glared at him for a moment almost as if trying to run him off as well. What a funny creature, all Klahan wanted to do was make sure everything was well now before continuing on his way. After a few more moments it became obvious to the dragon that the strange looking horse was not going to leave and he sighed. ”What do you want? You have my gratitude for assisting, but I have nothing I am willing to part with as a token of such gratitude so you can be on your way now.”

Klahan shook his head, no, that wasn’t why he’d come. ”I seek nothing from you, I merely wish to make sure you are alright and find out what that was about so I can determine if I should remain in the area for awhile to keep an eye out for the skinwalker. Sometimes when you chase off an enemy they return later with a new plan.” He may not be very old but the stallion had been a knight for most of his life and he knew about feuds, rivalries, and war, he needed to make sure that if he left the situation would not flare up again.
After awhile of talking Klahan felt he had a pretty good idea of the situation and he offered a solution to dragon. ”If you’d like, you can travel with me. I can carry your things easily enough and you won’t need to worry about anyone trying to steal your prized possessions.” He wasn’t entirely sure why he offered such a plan but it seemed it was acceptable because after a few long minutes of consideration the dragon nodded. ”That would be… suitable… for awhile.”

And so it was that the knight and the dragon formed a tentative agreement, Klahan would offer his protection to the dragon and his possessions as long as the dragon assisted Klahan with his knightly duties when requested. What might come of this? Only time would tell.

Extra Information: Magna and I are planning to have them go through some adventures together and eventually decide they work well as a team and they actually enjoy each other’s company so they will become good friends over time.
