Hraz'Elarion: Torment

"BREAK IT UP! NOW!"

Billy was a lot older than most of the new arrivals at the orphanage. A human boy of nine, left parentless after an orc raid, Billy was not the usual blank canvas, but a somewhat educated child. As such, he had developed a specific emotional response to his change in situation.

And that emotion was anger.

Billy seized upon any opportunity to start a fight, to inflict the pain he felt upon others. The house custodians would break up the fights, and were trying everything to help Billy work through the pain.

As time passed, Billy stopped causing fights with most of the other children, and started focusing his efforts on one in particular.

Stories of the insidious and despicable drow filled his head as he punched the grey face beneath him.

His fathers voice telling stories of the terrifying drizzit came to the forefront of his mind as he kicked the ragged boy.

And the pain of an orc raid filled him with venom as he was dragged from his bloodied victim.
