As a young Diaboli, Elegrand trained all his life to be a swords man, once he turned 14 an amazing thing happened. It was a day like any other and Elegrand was on his way to train, but a local yelled \"We don\'t need anymore of you swordsmen! We have enough wars! If it weren\'t for you there would be peace!\" Elegrand angered by his remarks replied, \"If it weren\'t for us you probally wouldn\'t be here!\", the land shook and fire erupted from the ground where the man was standing. Elegrand surprised by the event felt drained of power, and went to a tavern to rest and skipped his training. The next day he woke up, feeling refreshed and went down to train, when he met the trainer Elegrand said \"I know you must be wondering where I was yesterday, but I have a question of my own. Is there a form of combat which you create and control fire?\" the trainer glanced at him quickly and answered, \"Yes I\'ve heard of an art like this, from a friend, Elegrand you are a gifted boy.\" Elegrand quickly replied, \" How so?\" the trainer said nothing instead he just gave Elegrand a peice of paper. The paper only said \"15 north, 10 west\" Elegrand angered yelled at the trainer \"Is this somekind of jest!? If so it isn\'t funny!\" the paper burned to a crisp, the trainer seemed amazed and finnaly spoke in a hoarse whisper \"You know the red way! Quick follow me!\" they left the tower and went to an abandoned house and went in, and saw a mestiurios figure. THe figure finally spoke, \"Who do you bring to me Lightblade?\" the figure came out and to Elegrands suprise it was a dremorian. Elegrand shouts, \"Who is this!?\" then the trainer spoke, \"Please call me Lightblade, this Dremorian is a friend of mine, he is a mage who mastered all the ways of magic, and I think you are gifted by this skill,\" Elegrand shocked by all this finally said, \"Magic, wait this means I\'m a battle mage, doesn\'t it?\" Lightblade and the mage nodded and the mage spoke, \" I think there\'s something you need to see.\" They went to the back where they saw a dragon. Elegrand was afraid and stuttered as he spoke, \"Why w-would yo-you want m-m-me to see th-this?\" Elegrand then heard a low growl then a strange voice, \"Why do you bother me?\" Elegrand wondered who said that and came to one conclusion, that it was the dragon Elegrand said, \"Wait, I can hear the dragon!\" the mage and Lightblade both said \"Amazing!\" The dragon got up and grabbed Elegrand and put him on the back and flew off. Elegrand made friends with the dragon and practiced the red way and his sword skills. One time when traveling a giant portal appeared in front of them and they both went in. A while later Elegrand woke up the dragon died, Elegrand had to move, a dragon might cause unwanted attention, as he moved he would practice his skills, finnaly he reached somewhere unknown. He walked in and asked around finally he heard a name \"Hydlaa\"
I will gladly accept any comments

Interesting, but it has leaks. And how did a dragon come to be in the back of a house? Or even if you meant behind it, how did he just be there, unnoticed?

I just concocted a new one :)
Elegrand was in the tavern, smoking his pipe, when three men aproached him, and asked, \"Sire, who are you? Why have you come? More imprtantly why?\" Elegrand was surprised at the inquiry as no one has ever asked this of him, he thought for a while and said, \"I\'m not entirely sure you\'d like to know,\" the three men looked slightly disapointed. Elegrand noticed that others were looking at him too, and Elegrand smiled, then said, \"I usually would not do this, but this town, these people make me want to tell what it was exactly, my past that is: I leave no trails when I leave a town, As far as anyone is concerned, I have no past, But I do, and it is not a particularly colorful one, In fact, it\'s completly dark,\" After Elegrand said this everyone seemed to be scared. It took a moment for him to relieze why these people are scared, but when he noticed he said, \"Oh, just because I have a dark past doesen\'t mean I\'m evil, infact I am on the side of light. But, be warned I have little care as to the law, I follow what I think is good. Anyway my journey starts in the south, where all the Diaboli come from. I was to be trained as a battlemage, as I had natural talent in the Red and Azure Ways. I was fully trained and at the young age of 18, I joined the city militia, hoping to help those in need. That is until the great war.\" At this point Elegrand looked deeply pained and a Cleric in the tavern asked, \"Are you alright!?\" Elegrand was shocked at this question as nobody ever cared for Elegrand and he shook his head and continued, \"It all started with a revolt which was strangley organized, we found out why on the fifth day of the war, when I tried to turn a prisoner to our cause using Azure magic. The prisoner resisted which was normal. The next thing that happened, well I\'ll never forget. I felt a sudden urge, to use magic, I could not resist. The next thing I know everyone in the stronghold was yelling \'Traiter!!!\' I looked down and was shocked at what I saw, down below me was a fellow soldier lying braindead, I used my magic just in time and blew a hole into the wall and ran away. I was very hurt when I saw a shadowy figure walking towards me. I tried to get up, but coulden\'t. The figure spoke in low, but loud voice, \"Stay, you are far to hurt to stand,\" I passed out and the next thing I knew I was tied to a chair and looked up where I saw none other than my very own trainer. I used my magic to burn the ropes binding me and looked around, there were peasants around me... but not just any, but the ones who were revolting. Something sparked in my head and I used Azure magic to turn the peasants against each other. I got through the chaos to the trainer where we battled. My trainer defeated me, but as I had befriended him in the past he dropped me off, roughly 5 kilometers from my original position. I travelled town to town trying to find others from the militia, to lift the weight from my heart. I erased my past after every city to prevent others from thinking I was a traiter. And now my travels have brought me here, there is more to my story, but I will not burden you with it.\" Another man approached me and asked, \"What i-\" Elegrand cut him off, \" Of course, how could I forget to tell my name, it\'s Elegrand and remember it,\" And with a smile, he left the tavern.
Hope this ones a little better.
