The story of Trevor (Reno) Voytovitch
It began with the hunt for revenge. 22 years ago, a powerful band of raiders and assasins looted and burned Trevor's home. in the process, killed his parents, and kidnapped his 3 year old sister. All this happened in seconds.
Trevor was 6 then. His father, Alexander Voytovitch, and him were out in the woods. His father was training Trevor to become a great woodsman. He just started training with the bow aswell, which his father was a master marksman, who could easly hit a bulls eye from 100 meters as any person at 10 yards. On their way back, Trevor and Alex saw a man clad with plate and mounted on a horse throw a fire bomb (Alcohol and running rags in a bottle) into their home!
Alex told Trevor to stay put, and hide. He loddged a few arrows into a few of the raiders leaving about 15 still standing, and as they turned to meet Alex, he changed into a terrable beast! A werewolf with blazing fury raging in his eyes.
A few fled the sight of the beast, but the armor clad person commanded them to stand their ground. It would seem that they would rather risk the wraith of the beast than the commander.
Trevor watched as his father ripped into man after man. And then from the blazingfury of the engulfed door way, came another werewolf! This one slightly slimmer than his father. And he could tell by the blue bandana it wore that it was his mother. So Sammantha joined the fray.
It would seem that the Voytovitchs were winning! Until the commander shouted a command into the forest, and about 10 men armed with crossbows dropped Sammantha in a second, bolts sticking out of her body like thrones. At first her body seemed to be healing, but then the Commander drew out a glimmering blade of silver impailed her in the heart.
Alexander screamed out in such bloody rage, that the crossbowmen recoiled in fear, and even the commander took a few steps back. By now, all that remained of the small band that struck here were the crossbowmen, and the commander.
The commander and Alex fought for a short while. Alex was gaining advantage on the commander; parrying the blade away skillfully without getting cut, and peices of the commanders armor were getting torn appart. Finally, he lunged back, and gave the reloaded cossbowmen the order to fire.
The shocked and stunned Trevor watched in horror as his father was dropped by a rush of bolts. The commander just strided up to his bloody body, and impailed him in the heart, much like Sammantha.
Sammantha and Alexander lied next to each other in a bloody heap. Their bodys had reverted back to human. With his dying strength, Alex reached out and grasped his wifes hand. Then he was gone.
When he was gone, Trevor screamed, and his little child legs charged the commander. The Commander stood there as the little kid beat his small bow against his breast plate. With a swift motion that seemed to be slightly reluctant, the commander hit Trevor in the head with the flat of his blade.
For a while Trevor lied there with his mother and father, fighting off uncontousness, a big bump on his head. He watched as the family valuables were dragged from the house. And finally, saw the commander take his little 3 year old sister.
The Raiders left. Trevor slipped into uncontousness with his mother and father next to him.
It was later that Trevor found out that the bands name was the Volidian Raiders, and their power was that of a small army, armed with a varriety of equipment and magiks. And that they had been hired by a local church to go in and assasinate Sammantha and Alexander. The only reason why he was still alive was because killing the children was not a part of the deal. Even raiders draw a line as to how far they go.
10 years later, the high clergy of that church mysteriously vanished. And then found a week later inside a near by cave by a few kids and a kender. The only way they were ID'd was by the robes they wore. Their faces and majority of their bodys were unidentifyable, due to bites and scratches on many.
Also, 3 others that were found dead in their homes that same week with the same markings. People that attended the church had known that the houses that these people were found in were retired Clergymen of the same church.
12 years later, Trevor had hidden his real name about 15 years ago in case the leader of the Volidian Raiders remmebered it. Just in case. He was now Reno. the only people he would tell his real name too would be very trusted friends.
Reno had tracked the Raiders to Volcrad, his home country. Only, he found himself drafted by the Volscardian military to fight in the Ork battles.
After a while, Reno was in the band of Ork slayers that called themselfs the Death Hawks. This group was a feared army that set the tide of the wars. Led by Gwendilyn Fairablade, they achived victory after victory. After a while of seeing Reno's potential, he ws promoted to one of her commanders.
After the war was done, there was no more need for the Death Hawks, so they were broke up. But Reno saw that Gwen had a group called the Circle of the Forge, and he had befriended a few of the people that were in the group that were also commanding officers. Reno asked to come with. Gwen said Ok.
At first, Reno saw them as aquatences. He had lost alot of friends in his day. And found that traveling adventure partys die off very quick. So at first he was kind of withdrawn. Didn't talk much. Appeared to be kind of a loner.
Time passed, and Reno noticed that the Circle of the Forge travled to alot of places. And a few times they ran across a decaying trail of the raiders. So Reno thought that mabey these people could be an asset to finding the raiders.
After a long while, Reno's guard dropped, and he became friends with everyone. They were no longer valued assets, these people were now friends. And Remo would do much for them.
But of course, true to the fabled (and proven) laws of the adventurer, people began dying. At first, it was merely slowly. Then it hit the group like a wave of damnnation. First, Del died. And it hurt, but obviously not as much as it hurt Gwen.
As the group began to go, bit by bit, Reno began to be saddened. If Zeke or Gwen had died, he would have been utterly crushed.
Finally, it appeared to be his turn. Time and time again, he began to get weaker. Through illness, and magic. Until, he was weak and tired enough that grusome beasts could destroy him.
Trevor (reno Voytovitch died fighting for his friends. And hope that someday, they complete his quest to seek out the raiders, and see to it that his little sister is ok. Gwen knows that it was a desire of his.
