Another bristling hot summer day, another four hours of training. Torque Dragonis III was practicing his blade skills in the backyard of the Dragonis Manor. The building was huge, brought back from the rubble it once was four generations ago. He smiled faintly at how much it had improved judging on how the sketches looked in the family's history books. The tragedy of the Dragonis Manor Fire a hundred years ago was a terrible blow to his great-great grandfather, Isaac and his son Torque II. Isaac had lost his wife in that fire, killed by a fallen girder.
In the history books, it was said that Isaac had went on a suicide mission after that, and was killed in a foolhardy strike on enemy territory and the land of Bern had lost their Wyvern Lord. Torque II had to live as a fugitive for a few years until he finally married and had his own son, Devis. Devis, the womanizer, settled down in his mid thirties and had his son, Edward "The Tank" Dragonis. Edward had adopted a daughter and then had his own son, Khel (Torque III's father).
Torque was proud of his father, having rebuilt the family manor with his own hands as well as his wife's. When the building was half finished, Torque III was born along with his twin brother, Gai III.
Torque frowned at the memory of one of the three family curses; If a Dragonis begets more than one child from one spouse, they will be twins, one will eventually kill the other for there can only be one successor to the family blade. it said. Torque didn't want to fight his brother, Gai. He and Gai have been close all of these years but now...Gai has changed.
His frown deepened as he recalled how his brother became jelous that Khel wanted Torque to have the sword, Deathscream. Gai stormed off, leaving the Manor behind. He had not seen his twin since.
