So he began to tell Maxime his story.
In his youth, Dravus was not only a promising warrior, he was also a fulfilled man.
He lived in a lush valley, where every sunrise set the mountains ablaze with a golden glow.
His tribe prospered, and his exceptional talent meant he didn't have to join the army and risk his life.
But what he cherished most was neither his strength nor his status, it was his fiancée, Lyssra.
Lyssra was a Dravak of rare beauty, with deep-blue scales that twinkled like stars in the moonlight.
She possessed a gentleness and wisdom that soothed even the most tormented of hearts.
With her, Dravus had dreamed of a simple but happy future.
He believed that once he had passed the warrior's test, he would become a glorious Dravak general in the future, his wife would be invited to every kind of noble gathering, while his children would enjoy the best education, the best resources and the best teachers.
