Riael's Musing
TBA
Origin
Riael meaning "Tiger of the Gods"
Benroy meaning "Son of a Lion" bestowed to Riael by Levin
Master Levin always said, "the past is like prey. You must understand it to overcome it."
Whatever that means.
If that old man didn't have a bloody saying for everything I might have learned more before he died. Or maybe not. He always said I was more of a knot in the tree than a supple branch. Though he said that would serve me well. I think that was a nice way of saying I'm a good meat shield.
Where did it all start for me. I guess my earliest memory was when I was just a cub. I remember blood and pain. The bodies of what must have been my parents ravaged before me. Bloody paws. Bloody fur. And pain. All over me is pain. I should have died there. But Mother Kyanna moves nature and the nature of things in chaotic ways. I was saved by, of all things, a Dwarf. Stoergrim was his name but I wouldn’t really remember his name until I met his brother. Stoergrim tended my wounds and took me to a Hearthfire where he revived me on the food of his people. I guess it IS like Master Levin says, not all wolves are loyal to their pack, not all lizard folk are killers.
This dwarf spent uncountable moons reviving me before setting me up in some god-awful home for other lost cubs like me. I know now that what he did was probably for the best but I hated it there. I ran away shortly after. I remember foolishly thinking I needed to find my home. Find my parents. Find where I belong. Foolish because those things can’t be found, only given to you by yourself or someone else.
I can’t write down all the places that took me in. Tried to make me a kid of theirs. Tried to make their home mine. I wish I did because I was probably a nightmare to them. I didn’t know better but I felt like I could do it on my own. Find myself and my origins and find my place. That draw always took me to the forest. Until I got sick or too hungry or poisoned from a bad plant…each time I would come back wilder.
Less myself.
More lost than ever.
I don’t remember how it happened but I lost myself completely at some point. I don’t even know how long I was in that form, just that I was angry all the time, craved flesh, and hated everything. I was told later that the terror I brought to that forest was the reason Daergrim was sent to that same forest. I was in my all too familiar rage. My black bear form probably attacked Daergrim first and I know his bear mount must have fought back fiercely. I probably should have been put down then as well, but Mother Kyanna had sent another dwarf to save me. At the time I thought it was the same dwarf. That face and his eyes took me back to that Hearthfire where my life had been saved before. The care of a stranger let me live. I remember reliving those few days where I was taken care of like a cub should be. A father mending a cubs wounds. It was too much. I remember finding myself again. See the world through my own eyes again, only wet and terrible and full of vague horrible dream like memories of anger and hate. I yawled into the dwarfs chest like the day my parents died.
Probably worse actually.
Daergrim, like his twin brother, took care of me and helped me find my center again over the next few days.

Important Individuals
- Levin meaning lion-hearted: Became the mentor to Riael after he first decided to become a druid. A wise and patient Lion who came to think and love Riael as his son. It was Levin who helped Riael start calming his spirit and giving him the focus he needed to channel his natural druidic abilities. Levin taught Riael how to commune and respect the land. To open his heart to it but not let it consume him. They spent many years together, fighting together, sharing the night sky together, and in many ways became a pride of two. One hot summer, lizard folk attacked the homelands of Levin. Battles and skermishes had warn both Riael and Levin ragged. In a final effort to stop the lizard folk, Levin attacked the lizard warlord ending the war...and sacrificing his life.
