  Vansith  
  Vansith Paektu was born Vansith Silverdrake. He was born in a far off land called Draconia. His father was Mighty Warrior,  and commander of The great Silver Dragon tribe's Army. When the land was invaded, Vansith's father fought valiantly in many battles. Then, in one such battle, he was captured, and publicly beheaded. By this time Vansith was old enough to join the Tribal Army, and he did. He swore to take vengeance on the man that killed his father. He left home, leaving his mother and sister, Ralna, to tend to the Silverdrake land. Vansith too, fought many battles. Valiantly, intelligently, and strategically. He rose through the ranks quickly and became a commander himself. On the day his single brigade took the field against and entire division, Vansith had planned a swift retreat. That is until he heard that the leader of this division was the man that killed his father. Recklessly charging into them, he and his men fought bravely and defeated a Brigade and a half, but sadly it was not enough . Vansith was captured. The Division leader released him out of respect for his father, but upon returning to his Commander, was banished from the country.


After many years of wandering, searching for a way to reap his vengeance, Vansith happened upon a small bald man, living in the mountains on a solitary island. This little man showed Vansith many things. He trained him to keep his inner peace and showed him that revenge and hate lead to only destruction, and shame. After a few years the small man told Vansith he would undergo one more trial, and that it would begin in the heart of the capital city of the invaders, known as Dragon Busters. Vansith did not completely understand, but journeyed their anyway. He had seen the wisdom of the man and would not deny him now. He made his way to the castle and  after telling the guards who he was, was rushed to the throne room, bound at the hands. A great sorceror there referred to Vansith as a "meddlesome brat" and began muttering words in an unknown language. A huge flash of light came and Vansith found himself in a place he had never seen before. He made his way to the first town he could find and asked a random person their, "Where is this?" The man looked at him as if he were crazy and said simply, "Buya boy! In the land of Nexus!  Ya bump your head?!""

"Nexus!" he thought. Was this the trial that the small man spoke of? Vansith wandered around Buya for awhile. He soon turned to alcohol and found himself poor and living in the streets, with naught the money to stay at an inn. One night he left Buya. He made his way to a new city. The city of Kugnae in the kingdom of Koguryo. He found a few stray coins on his way and ended up in the bar. He spent what he had and yet again, had nowhere to sleep. He slept in the gutter once more. The next morning he awoke to find a woman standing over him. "Are you alright boy?" She had asked him. He gave only a grunt, to let her know he yet lived. "Well,  this is no way for a young man of Kugnae to act! Come, let's get you cleaned up!" The woman muttered some words and soon Vansith felt better than ever. His wounds and drunkenness were gone and he felt the strength of his old self again! "My lady! How...?" "I'm a poet dear boy! It's what I do. Now follow me." "What is your name?" Vansith asked her. "I am Maya. Now shush and follow."

Maya took him to what appeared to be a castle of some sort. The words Sun Moon were inscribed over the entrance way. Maya then introduced Vansith to several people, all who greeted him with kindness and warmth. Noone looked at him with anger or hate in there eyes. He was in shock. She then walked up to a single blonde man with a black headband. "Vernon!" she addressed him "This is Vansith. We're adopting him!" Vernon looked at Vansith, who's eyes by now were the size of moons at Maya's simple yet important declaration. "Ever thought of dabblin with Magicks, boy?"

Soon after being adopted into the Paektu family, Vansith was sent to the School of Magicks. He tried his best but simply could not wrap his head around the basic idea of magic spells. So after the first half of the year, he told Vernon that he would much rather follow the path pf the warrior. Vernon and Maya had come to love the boy, and were concerned at the thought of him being so CLOSE to the battle, but understood and granted his wish. Vansith is now a strong warrior and getting stronger everyday. With his sword, known as "Paektu's Purity" he continues to fight and learn and grow stronger, in an attempt to complete his trial. So that he might one day return to his family in Draconia, and save his people....
