Fiction:Draedan

"I followed him blindly, as most of us did. I would walk where he did, never questioning, always obeying. This path I followed him on was dark. But I began to see light on the path we walked. And with this light, I saw another path, a path that lead to something greater. I told him of this path, but he ignored me. He abandoned me to continue on the path he had set...or the one that was set for him.

I watched him you know. I watched as the man I considered my father continued to walk out of view. Not just physically, but mentally."

Early Life
Manadrae Da'an, as he was called by his people, was thought to have been born some time during the golden age of the Milky Way's elder races. Some scholars date his birth a few millions of years ago. Evidence and studies from old relics suggest that due to his birth name, Manadrae Da'an was a Nyarqaeshian male. Though the text on his history is correct, is is unknown if he was actually a Nyarqaeshian, as no one has ever seen him.

Manadrae was an orphan, as his mother died when he was young due to a deadly virus. His father was thought to be a warrior but wanted nothing to do with him. Manadrae was one of few young Nyarqaeshians capable of commanding large amounts of Essence.in Nyarqaeshian culture, children like this are usually taken in by aldults who are capable of the same feats so that they may learn to perfect their control of essence. Manadrae found difficulty finding a master, as his bloodline was thought to be weak. One man overlooked his bloodline and saw great potential. This man was.

Xizothano Ada was considered to be the most powerful Void Essence user of all Nyarqaeshu, possibly even the universe. Manadrae, like many others, admired Ada. Ada offered to take Manadrae under his wing and teach him the was of Void Essence. Manadrae grew very fond of Xizothano as the years went by. Their relationship of master and student became more like father and son. Ada was once the student of the Nyarqaeshian leader of that time, Xizouyu Moa. Ada would often take Manadrae to the sacred temples to hone his Essence abilities, something reserved only for leaders. Manadrae thought that it was wrong to use such a temple, but Ada promised him that one day he would be an amazing leader, and therefore, this is just to "get things out of the way". The two shared a bond that was not seen in Master-Student pairings in Nyarqaeshian essence users. Ada considered Draedan to be like his own son, just as Moa considered Ada to be his.

Peaceful times like these would soon come to an end. As Moa's greed got the better of him.
