RoleChapter 6 The Dance of the Beasts Added Mon Mar 30 02:03:38 2009 at level 2:Ikanu grew up without ever really knowing what happened to his mother. The townsfolk suspected, but never filled in the details. But, for some reason he was very fond of telling knock-knock jokes. He worked his father's dirt farm, but grew to hate the man. He was abusive, due to rage over how badly he was aging; the man's hair had turned to a mess of frizzy gray, where it had once been black and flowing, and his belly hanging over his pants in much the same way that a muffin does. But, the bastard was strong, and though Ikanu fought him every now and then, he couldn't beat him...not yet, anyway.
The conflict at home affected him in subconscious ways. He would look for fights, and relished the tiny struggles seen in nature that most people often overlook. In one such instance, he witnessed an emaciated barovian wolf struggling to kill a badger. It was a fair enough match, considering the condition of the aggressor. But, after a minute or two into the battle an eagle arrived on the scene. It looked to be a large male, most likely hunting for its young (it was that time of year).
This was going to be interesting. He saw more than just a recurring scene illustrating the struggles of the natural world. This was a battle of wills. The eagle could have flown away and found an easier meal. The wolf could have settled for a squirrel. But no, badger was on the menu and that was that. And so it began; wolf snaps at badger, badger bites snout, eagle swoops for badger, wolf lunges for eagle, eagle rends wolf...badger gets away.
But, the food no longer mattered. The anger, the need to kill the opposition was all that remained. Both the wolf and the eagle eagle stayed too long to turn back from this battle. Their wounds were mounting, and a hearty meal would be needed to recover in this unforgiving land. Ultimately, avian defeated canine that day, but that's not the relevant part. What's important is that the battle, the war, culled the weak, empowered the strong, and made for one hell of a show. Ikanu would forever remember the dance of the beasts, and years later it would help to mold not only his harsh ideology, but his very being.
