Nicholai, a human orphan.

You've always been alone. Being a human is bad enough and a poor orphan on the streets is the icing on the cake. You've always had to fight with other street urchins for food and other things. The other races despise humans, especially the ones like you,who live on the street. But you're different,and you know it.

Unlike the others, you have a very strong body. The body of a warrior, so chiselled at just 18 years of age that no one can say you're a poor theif who lives in the dirty alleys on the streets. You have long,jet black hair that run down to your shoulders. Ever since you were a kid, you've been different than the others. Better different.

You've always had strength that no being posesses. Atleast none you know do. You've got freakishly good looks. They say you're even better than the high elves in looks but your eyes are the most unique feature you have. Your pupils keep changing color according to your mood. People always find this unnerving,even in a word full of magic. So you're not just human and poor but also a freak.

You climb up the rocks until you reach a natural,small cave like shelter formed out of rocks. This has been your home for the last four winters. Before that you used to be afraid of the forest but it doesn't bother you now. You lie down and doze off.

Your sleep is dreamless as always. But today you feel like there's something calling to you. Something that wants you to get up and follow it. Suddenly,you see a flash of lightning in your dream and it falls down in the darkness. There is only the blinding light everywhere and you can't see anything. Slowly as the flash dies down,you see that the darkness has ceased and it shows the riverbank. The same place where you take a bath everyday. However there is a huge crater on the ground. You watch as a man climbs out of the crater, smoke rising from his body which is wreathed in lightning. The man looks up at you but before you can get a clear look at his face..you wake up.

You look around, trying to figure out what happened. You've never had dreams and this felt too real to be a dream. You hastily get up and scramble down the rocks. You start jogging towards the river.

You reach the river and find... nothing. Everything is just like it is. You pause. Everything was to real to be a dream. You rub your head and sigh. As you start walking back,the skies rumble and start darkening. You look up and see lightning flashing. Then you look down and find yourself in the same place where the crater had formed. A bolt lightning steaks out towards you.

"Shit." You manage to get out before it hits you and everything goes black.
