**Lynk's past :**

**The story goes back to when Lynk was just a young, naïve black fawn. He was doing all kinds of stuff that kids his age thought was fun. He played tag with his siblings, explored his hometown, and met many new friends along the way. Lynk was just a cheerful little fawn until that day when Lynk was playing hide and seek with his friends and siblings. Lynk ventured far into the woods, thinking it was a good place for a hiding spot. Lynk could not climb trees, so his goal was to find a hollow tree or a log to hide inside of it. Lynk was still trying to find a hiding spot within the deep forest until he stumbled on something. The thing that he tripped on seemed like it was a human. Lynk knew it was a human from the ears it had; it was similar to his father. But then why would a body lay here in the forest? That was what Lynk thought. Lynk stood up and brushed the dirt off of his shirt that he was wearing. He then took a second look at the body and noticed that its guts and intestines were spilling out. The blood was still fresh, and it was oozing from its abdomen.**

**What Lynk saw was something horrific not until He felt something cold in his back. He gasped from the sudden cold. He shivered; Lynk knew there was something wrong. Something feels different. He feels different. Soon pain struck him, a horrible headache. Lynk groaned; he soon felt pain in his right eye. He cried from the pain; the pain was unbearable for a ten-year-old. Soon the pain calmed down, Lynk exhaled. There was something wrong. Though his body didn't change, his vision did. He can now see and detect a tiny organism from afar. "Woah," He said; he looked around for a bit, returning his gaze back towards the dead body. Seeing the blood pouring out of him, Lynk did not hesitate but was...Excited. It was oddly satisfying to him, as if something triggered in his head that made him think that this was normal to him. He kept grasping and feeling that person's guts. His hands were bloody; he seemed to like the smell and the color of it too!.**

**As dusk arrived. A voice was calling out for him. It was his Elder sister Mavis. Lynk was disturbed from his fun. He was annoyed. Lynk stopped what he was doing and cleaned his hand using the mud puddle near him, which made his hands and shirt even dirtier, but the blood was not visible. Mavis arrived, gasped in surprise, looking at how filthy her little brother was. She sighed, hand on her forehead, and called out for him to escort him back home.**

**When both of them arrived at their house. Their family has already set up the dining table. They were about to have dinner. Lynk was about to open the front door slowly... The Headache came back. He felt pain once again yet slightly more robust than the previous one. He groaned, alarming his sister and the ones who were inside. He screamed, holding his head. His family opened the door. His father picked him up and rushed to lay him on the sofa. He breathed heavily. His body temperature was slowly heating up. After a few minutes of the intense pain, it soon calmed down. His mother sat him up, worried about her youngest fawn. His sister Mavis rushed outside to find help. Both of his parents stayed looking out for him. As he was sat up, his head was facing downwards. Slowly opening his two eyes until it was fully open. His mother called out to him to check if he is alright. She kept calling his name, checking if he was injured. Lynk was silent for a solid ten seconds. His face finally faced his mother's direction, eyes wide open staring at her with killing intent. Lynk didn't hesitate and took a good firm bite at her neck. His mother was shocked for a second. She began to scream Lynk's name begging him to stop. Blood was pouring from her neck. He didn't stop. He kept on going until his father rushed to grab the dining chair and was about to bash Lynk's head with it, but he hesitated. He was worried about his youngest son but couldn't bear to watch his spouse bleeding and having tears pour from her eyes. So he chose the obvious choice, and that is to save his wife instead of his son. The father bashed Lynk's head with the dining chair, and Lynk fell unconscious. His mother was still alive yet losing blood badly.**

**His mother was hospitalized and taken care of. While Lynk was held in captivity after what he has done. Lynk was held captive for five-six years. It didn't take long for him to escape. While he was behind bars, his mother was resting well and was discharged from the hospital. She returned back to her family, continuing her daily routine. After Lynk escaped, he went back to see his mother and say that he was sorry for what he has done. Lynk was not conscious at that time. He felt something taking over him... as if he was Possessed. After his first year or two in captivity, he did not feel any pain whatsoever. Though his being tortured by that pain for a couple of years left a mark on his right eye. He was no longer who he was. Guards passing by each day monitoring him, viewing him as a monster... maybe worse, a horrifying creature.**

**It was around 1-2 am when he arrives back to his home. The front door was locked. He then decides to check if their backyard was locked. He went and climbed the backyard's fence, Reaching to the doorknob to opening it. Lynk managed to open the door, which led him to the living room. Lynk knew that everyone won't be here at midnight, so he walked in the hallway trying to reach his parent's bedroom, and when he arrived, he opened the door slowly just so they wouldn't be disturbed by the creak of the wooden door. Lynk looked at the mattress to see if his parents were both asleep. It turns out only his father was there. His mother was nowhere to be seen. He then saw the light from the bathroom. Lynk took a peek inside to see what's in there. It was his mother carrying a lantern. She was about to brush her teeth. Lynk came out from his spot and tried to approach his mother as he was about to close her. The mirror that** **was in front of his mother reflected Lynk's figure. It didn't take her long to notice, but when she did. She turned around to see who it was, Facing its direction. She couldn't believe what she saw, it was her youngest fawn, Lynk. Both stood for a moment, Lynk looked down and was about to say that he was sorry for what he has done, but his mother was terrified. ''Monster!!'' The mother screamed. She kept calling for help, saying that there was a monster in loose. Lynk tried to calm her down, "Leave me alone! You monster!'' The mother shouted. An alarm was heard from a distance that the captive escaped. Lynk didn't know what to do. He just fled.**

**Years later...Lynk became a serial killer, who killed many, just entertain him. He enjoyed every victim he had, He simply loved it. The happiness that this gave him, the excitement, it was all so perfect. Names were thrown at this mysterious killer for how creative he placed and slaughtered these bodies. For him, this was a way to show his creativity and art. He enjoyed the gazes from others as they observe his work. Many were terrified, and few were admiring him. "Red" is was they called him, due to him painting a whole building with the blood of many villagers. He could not get tired of this until some were onto him. They somehow were able to slowly figure out who the killer was, gathering tiny clues about him that Lynk made sure to get rid of his presence once he was done. It was long before he had a plan, that is, to change his identity. Lynk decided to become a merchant. Changing his name to "Eid" and his background before applying in a merchant guild to sign up.**

### **A random note from a citizen in the Griffin empire**

**'' Eid is known as a merchant who only sells pebbles to customers. No one knows why he even sells them. Some even ask why he even sells such a thing. The only reply they got was, "It's fun to see people buy my product." Eid said. The most bizarre thing about that merchant is that he tells you to sign a contract by placing your thumb on an Orange pebble. He didn't say much about the contract. He didn't even have any papers to it. He said, "you cannot return this item if you signed the contract, it is for you to keep." Some may want to buy his product just for a display. He only arrives in towns and villages at night to sell his product. I purchased his yellow pebble and signed the contract. The price was surprisingly low. The next day I followed him during the daylight hours. He seems to be heading in the direction of the great sol plains. He did not do much there but was standing at the top of an outcrop. Then a flock of crows was flying around him. Was it his doing? Is it some kind of a magical phenomenon? I tried to climb that giant outcrop that he was standing on just to get a better look. It turns out, he was just.ا̷̠̝̩̉̕ل̶̤̇ن̴̦͎̗̅ه̵͓̤̊ا̶̢̗̘̈́̊ي̸͈̟̘̽͌ة̶̡̮̘͗̾͝...**
