The Beginning

The light of the moon was the only thing that illuminated Aptonmir's birth.
By the very same moonlight his birthgiver perished, leaving Aptonmir in the
care nature. And nature did Aptonmir well. He survived somehow, perhaps by
instincts born into him. But by the time he was beginning to walk an Elvish
exploratory party found him and took him in.

Forced into the care of the explorers so that he might have a better life,
the elves discovered his sharp eyes and thus gained a new scout. Aptonmir
enjoyed his first few years with the elves, but the exploratory party
eventually tired of exploration and created a settlement. This is when
Aptonmir began to recall what he thought of as 'the time before'. More and
more the settlement became a cage for Aptonmir, and the time before became
freedom. Freedom from his cage, freedom from the punishments he garnered for
improper speech and dress.

Fed up and tired, Aptonmir decided to leave, and despite refusals from the
settlement council he left anyways. Only a single guard tried to stop him,
and the guard was promptly wounded and left for dead, but not killed. For
Aptonmir knows the Elves meant him well, but still cannot justify that for
caging him into the town that was so foreign and painful to him.
