#8409, "Kruuank's Role Chapter 4"
|
RoleChapter 4 The beginning Added Tue Oct 18 00:30:47 2005 at level 42:Sometimes, a child is born to a loving and caring family that gives it everything it wants. Sometimes, the child is born to a family that while not able to give the care the first child gets, still treats it with love and affection. Sometimes, a child is born like Kruuank.
Kruuank's mother had given birth to two children before he came into the world, and she was tired. A simple citizen of small Fire Giant community near the Mount, she had silently bore her burden for many years without a word of discontent, but enough was enough. Not only had she watched as three husbands had died to war against the vile Storm Giants laying siege to her kind, but now she had to deal with a odd child she had not really wanted. Her first two children, a boy named Hyrgranthor and a girl named Mlaska, had been progressing steadily in their chosen fields, Hyr a promising student of the war college, Mal just entering her first year under the tutelage of the priests of the Father. But this child, this man-child she named Kruuank, meaning lame-one, was different. An oddly quiet child, he seemed to be born deaf and dumb, unable to cry or notice the events around him. She wondered if simply leaving the babe out in the wilds would perhaps be the best solution, but this child was still her flesh and blood. As it was, she knew that once the questions started about her capacity to carry a child would be brought into question, for Kruuank's father had died as a general in the Army, falling in glorious battle to a legion of storm giant warriors. It was certainly not his fault for the child being born as it was, it must be hers. And that would not stand. So she hatched a plan, and the Fire Giant named Kruuank began his long journey into infamy.
For the first thirty years of Kruuank's life, he lived in complete solitude. Day after day, locked in the cellar of his mother's home, forgotten by all but the Mother who no longer considered him a son, he lived in utter obscurity. Day after day, in darkness only shattered by a crack in the wall that allowed the faint glimer of light to peek through, Kruuank became. Slowly, the afflictions he suffered in childhood began to fade, and the constant toil of eating then doing nothing began to make the Giant large. Day after day, face pressed against the wall to see the outside world, to see civilization. Day after day.
Until one day, a day much like any other, Kruuank changed. It wasn't a gradual change, though he had begun to question who and what he was long before...no, this was a sudden change. A change brought on by violence. You see, Kruuank, face pressed up against the crack, had witnessed something that would change his life. He saw his brother. His brother, returning to greet the only person Kruuank had ever known. His brother, gleaming armor placed upon his body so that all could see his splendor. His brother, wielding a giant longsword wreathed in flame. His brother, receiving love and affection from Kruuank's mother. Now, noone can say what went through the Giant's mind at that point, for there was obviously a resemblence between Kruuank and Hyrgranthor, and there Hyrgranthor was, everything that the Giant wished he could be. Rage, stored from years of solitude, years of not knowing WHY, years
