Tueor

## Birth and Childhood

Tueor was born of the union between Semel and Corco. As a child, he was mainly well-mannered: he remembered to say please and thank you, he would do things that no one had told him to do, and he jumped at the chance to help someone. Considering how a lot of the other gods had been quite rowdy as children, the adults couldn't help but be surprised. Not that this phase would last, though - eventually, Tueor started to distance himself and only helped when he was asked to help. This change didn't make anyone love him any less, though; to them, he was still the same as he'd always been, just a little less active.

However, Tueor still kept his courteousness throughout his childhood years. He didn't break any rules his parents set and the only thing he wanted to do was to hunt wildlife. Unfortunately for Tueor, his parents forbade him from doing so as soon as they found out about this passion. They believed that a child shouldn't be exposed to such violent pastimes until they were older. Tueor accepted this without a fight, but he decided to train himself because if he wasn't strong or fast enough, he wouldn't be able to catch anything.

## Teenage Years

Finally, Tueor's parents allowed him to go hunt. As soon as this happened, Tueor scrambled down to his beloved forest, made himself a makeshift shelter, and fashioned a bow out of some nearby branches. The means that he used to obtain such skills are mainly unknown, but he'd probably just seen so many shelters and bows that he'd memorized the design down to the smallest detail. Semel was very concerned for him, but Corco had her leave Tueor be - he knew from prior experience that sometimes, certain people just needed to be left alone.

And so, Tueor started up his passion for hunting. He started to track down stray animals, memorizing their tracks and figuring out their movement patterns. He would also follow a random animal around and time how long he could stalk it without being noticed. Soon enough, Tueor thought himself to be skilled enough to hunt - he was starting to identify tracks by the lingering scent, even though they were several days old. However, before he started hunting, Semel called Tueor back - he had been gone several weeks already, and Semel was starting to become extremely concerned for her son's health. Tueor followed through with Semel's suggestions but returned to the mortal world immediately after he'd completed them.

## Adulthood

Semel eventually left Tueor alone to his own devices. Corco had convinced Semel that her being concerned about Tueor was probably very annoying for him, and if she wanted to know how Tueor was doing, then she should go visit him instead of having Tueor visit her. Or at least, that was what Corco did from time to time. On his trips down to Tueor's lovely forest, he would start talking with Tueor about hunting and make sure that Tueor felt at home. If Tueor had a broken tool, Corco would offer to fix it or make a better one, and Tueor usually accepted the offer. However, one thing that Tueor would never let Corco replace no matter what was his bow. It was his, and he was proud of it.

Aside from Corco and Semel's occasional visits, Tueor mostly spent his time alone. However, after one of these visits, he found a friend who would keep him company. This friend came in the form of a young doe that Tueor named Cerva. It was wintertime, and Tueor had been traipsing the forest admiring the snow when he saw a small hole in the snow. When he looked in, he saw Cerva, shivering and sleeping. He decided to take the doe in and soon enough the two became inseparable. Tueor also stopped hunting deer out of consideration for his cervine friend.
