## About

Alastor has always daydreamed about becoming a guard. A big, tough one. In his early years, he used to play with a small, wooden sword and try to mimic sword fighting movements. He was inspired by his cousin Ruby, seeing him defend and attack all day. Alastor never really knew what it was really like to be a guard. How scarred you would get, how wounded you would be. He had a very feeble perspective on it and thought it was easy and cool. Once he had a real taste of what it was like, he had a change of perspective.

When Alastor was finally old enough to wield a sword, he was trained by Ruby. Alastor never really watched how practice worked, so he thought he could just jump right into fighting. It took a few tries until Alastor rounded up his patience and listened to Ruby about what to do. He didn’t really like waiting. Alastor was more of a “No think just do” lizard. After the explanation was over, Ruby gave Alastor a medium-sized sword. It was nothing compared to Ruby’s. Alastor asked why so, and Ruby explained that beginners get smaller swords, but as they progress and can handle carrying the weight of a big sword, they get loftier swords.

After a few weeks of training, Alastor felt like a real guard. He would brag to his friends about how he got a sword and how he is getting trained by one of the best guards in the kingdom. He thought he was ready to defend when a raid started, so he went to Rose to talk about it.

Rose absolutely disregarded the offer, looking at him seriously disappointed. Rose knew what happens when you participate in a raid, and he was certainly not ready for that. Alastor kept on arguing with Rose about how he was trained by the best guard and how skilled he is already, but Rose still didn’t budge. She was frustrated at that point, so she went to go get Ruby to talk some sense into Alastor. When Ruby heard the news, He was shocked on why Alastor would even want to participate. He sided with Rose and forbade him to not leave the castle until next week so he could keep an eye on him if he tried to sneak out.

Ruby walked Alastor back to their hut where he would stay for the next week. Alastor was still mad that he wasn’t allowed to go, but he didn’t give up right away. He had a plan to escape, and it would work.

When the next morning came, Alastor pretended to be sick and said that he was going to stay in bed all day. Ruby looked at him suspiciously and left, bringing the keys with him so Alastor wouldn’t unlock the door. As he sat in the bed for a good 20 minutes to ensure that Ruby left, he sprang right out and began his plan. He went to the window that he slightly opened last night so he could slide it open and crawl out of it. Alastor grabbed a small piece of wood and jammed it between the glass, pushing it up so the window could open little by little. As it opened, he did a little jump of excitement and crawled out of the window.

As he looked around him, he knew that the raid started. All of the lizards were screaming and running everywhere. He bolted to the weapons and checked to see if there were any left. The only one on the shelf was a small but sharp jaded sword. It was good enough, so he grabbed it and ran past all of the lizards to get to the chaos. He looked left and right as he waited for a Wildclaw to come. Alastor only expected one or two weak Wildclaws to come up at him, but it was nothing like that.

Out of nowhere, Dusk took a swing to Alastor’s back and missed. Alastor quickly readied himself as he grasped his small sword firmly. As Dusk and Alastor went back and forth, Dusk kept on asking why he was on the battlefield, and why he was all alone. He called Alastor “Puny” and “Worthless” as he tried to plunge his small sword into his scales. Alastor was getting tired and more scared by the second as Dusk just looked at him with a wide, sharp-toothed smile. Finally, Alastor got all his energy wiped and fell down like a rag as Dusk stomped his foot hard at him. He said that he would never be a good guard. He was just a little child, after all.

After Ruby finished fighting a swarm of wildclaws, he saw Alastor in danger and ran over to him as Dusk began to pull out his sword. Ruby quickly blocked Dusk’s attack and pushed him away as he threatened to take him to the dungeon. Dusk just smiled again and ran away with the rest of the Wildclaws. Ruby helped Alastor up, asking him why he came here. Alastor thought that it was easy to defend the castle, but he was wrong. Now, he knew the true danger Wildclaws bring when they start a raid. He promised that he would learn and advance, just like Ruby did when he was small.
