"Consume me, please release my pain from the confines of your pretty box, Pandora! Now is the time for me to go, but I shall cling to the carcass of unbeknownst fury. " These are the first words written in the cryptic dialogue recorded by Alucath, otherwise known as C'thonor. A journal of sorts found in the presence of his figure dictates his life, his thoughts, but was written in a language unknown to most scholors, and using subjects of fanciful nature. This placed the research and definition of the book, in perilous form. A book of a Quarter Draconic's mind. His entire life in the little weak spine... such a find! The following is a study, with excerpts from the "book":
The aforementioned striking lines were what struck a chord in me to write this, Angst bundled in a body of extreme strength and speed. As a theoriopolin scholor I can assure you that any doccumentation that is so closely related to Quarter Draconic's is very rare, and indeed prized. Often sold to collectors who simply leave them on the shelf with no idea of real value. These quotes can be found to summarize a breif history of "Young C'thonor" as I've come to call him.
"And so I fled, I fled the might compounds of the family, who had cast me out long before I knew them. I told them what I was to do with my will, and they denied me the very essance of life.. the will to live which strives in us all, surely others feel this as strongly as I do. "It was only years later that I would find one as... horribly astounded by the universe as was I. And he was minutes later tragically killed by the emasciated corpse I was inhabiting, stubborn man wished only to drink all day. I told him, didn't I? Did I not warn him of how I felt against his ghastly operations? His business founded upon the very killing of such beauty, how could one make a profit off of it without washing their hands clean of the juice so sticky on their guilty fingers? "Torn between hope and peace, I set off on a quest to murder all those who opposed it... The very essence of life. I was the avenger of tranquility, but in my actions I would soon find out I was more suited to hostility."
After studying this for quite some time, I found out a few things. Alucath was born an orphen, his father had died in some tragic accident and as Alucath took his first step, his mother was dying on the bed. (note for human readers: Quarter Draconian brood develope extremely fast, taking their first steps only seconds after they leave hte womb). He was out of place, orphens were cast out immediately, but someone kept the secret for his sake, and raised him as if he were their son. This warped his mind, as Dragons' minds are developed in the womb, taking thoughts from their mother telepathically and musing over them for a 5 month period. This ability is lost once the baby is taken outside of the womb. His mind was changed by the foster parents, they wanted a killer who could destroy anyone, only at their own command. Torturing him endlessly, taking glasses of juice and placing it in front of him, tied up unable to drink, he was thirsty for months on end. All of this had a great affect on him, making him bloodthirsty, and resenting juice, and most drinks. He killed his foster parents and left his culture behind, where they were mostly killed off by their violent nature. Now wandering, Alucath tends to be as twisted as his tormentors, striking out upon those who do not know him, and torturing people for the sheer fun of it.
This concludes my study on his journal, although Alucath is one not to be crossed, this was a chance of a lifetime.
