'''A FATE'S TALE:'''
'''The Legend of Grey Talon:'''


A founding member of "[[The Baxter Society]]", Wesley Grey Talon spent close to 40 years hunting monsters that preyed on man before finally deciding to find a replacement and lay down his bow. Grey Talon’s duties had meant that he never spent much time with his wife and kid, and now that his son had started a family of his own he realized that this was his last chance to reconnect with the people he loved.
From a young age, Wesley had always been captivated by the beauty of birds. Among them, a lone raven with shimmering, dark feathers stood out. He found it one fateful evening, lying injured beneath a tree in his favorite park. With gentle hands and a caring heart, he nursed the bird back to health, forging an unspoken bond that went beyond the ordinary. He named it Shadow.


Retirement suited Wesley. He made up for lost time with his wife. He doted on his grandkids. He cooked dinner for the whole family every Wednesday. He was happy.
For years, Shadow became his closest companion, a symbol of hope and resilience in a world often filled with shadows. Wesley and his raven would wander the park daily, their souls intertwined in a dance of trust and affection. Yet, the world, cruel and unforgiving, had other plans.


Then he got the call.
One cold, misty evening, as they strolled through the park, a masked figure emerged from the darkness. His voice was laced with venom as he demanded money, eyes gleaming with malevolence. Wesley's heart pounded as he realized he had nothing of value to give. In a fit of rage, the masked man seized Shadow, holding a blade to the bird's fragile chest.


The authorities claimed that it was a freak accident... that the fire consumed his son’s house before anyone got a chance to escape. But Wesley knew better. His son’s wife was Ixian... she could snuff out flame with a thought. If their bodies were found burned they had to be dead long before there was a fire.
"Give me what I want, or the bird dies," he snarled.


And so Grey Talon has picked up his bow once more, and when he finds who’s responsible there will be a bloody reckoning.}}
Wesley's eyes filled with tears as he pleaded with him, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. With a swift motion, the blade plunged into Shadow's heart, and the raven's lifeless body crumpled to the ground.
 
"No!" Wesley's scream echoed through the night, a cry of pure anguish that tore through his very soul.
 
Days turned into weeks, and Wesley was consumed by grief. The world seemed a darker place without Shadow by his side. But in the depths of his despair, on a stormy night, something extraordinary happened. As he knelt in prayer, seeking solace in the emptiness of his room, a book—ancient and mysterious—descended from the sky, landing gently before him. Its cover was marked by a single, ominous eye.
 
Drawn to the book, Wesley opened it with trembling hands. Inside, he found arcane texts written in a language older than time itself. The words spoke of an ancient power, one that could grant dominion over life and death, but at a cost. The soul was the key, and those who mastered this power could call back the dead—if they were willing to sacrifice their own humanity.
 
Years passed, and Wesley, now known as Grey Talon, became the book's chosen one. He delved deeper into its secrets, unlocking powers that no mortal had wielded for centuries. His heart hardened as he mastered the art of soul manipulation, his once gentle spirit consumed by a thirst for vengeance.
 
The day finally came when he attempted to bring Shadow back to life. But the ritual had an unforeseen consequence. Shadow's body remained lifeless, but its soul returned, trapped between the realms of the living and the dead. The bird's ethereal form followed him, a constant reminder of what he had lost—and what he had become.
 
With his newfound powers, Grey Talon hunted down the masked murderer, his eyes burning with a cold, unyielding fury. When he found him, he unleashed the full extent of his dark magic. His soul was torn from his body, leaving him a hollow shell, an echo of the pain he had caused.
 
But vengeance did not bring him peace. Instead, it deepened the darkness within him. The world soon whispered his name in fear, the legend of Grey Talon spreading like wildfire. He was no longer the kind-hearted boy who had once loved a raven. He was something else entirely—an embodiment of grief, power, and unending sorrow, forever marked by the loss that had shaped his destiny.
 
And so, Grey Talon roamed the world, a shadow of his former self, with his raven's soul by his side, eternally bound to the darkness he had embraced.}}

Background

The Legend of Grey Talon:

From a young age, Wesley had always been captivated by the beauty of birds. Among them, a lone raven with shimmering, dark feathers stood out. He found it one fateful evening, lying injured beneath a tree in his favorite park. With gentle hands and a caring heart, he nursed the bird back to health, forging an unspoken bond that went beyond the ordinary. He named it Shadow.

For years, Shadow became his closest companion, a symbol of hope and resilience in a world often filled with shadows. Wesley and his raven would wander the park daily, their souls intertwined in a dance of trust and affection. Yet, the world, cruel and unforgiving, had other plans.

One cold, misty evening, as they strolled through the park, a masked figure emerged from the darkness. His voice was laced with venom as he demanded money, eyes gleaming with malevolence. Wesley's heart pounded as he realized he had nothing of value to give. In a fit of rage, the masked man seized Shadow, holding a blade to the bird's fragile chest.

"Give me what I want, or the bird dies," he snarled.

Wesley's eyes filled with tears as he pleaded with him, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. With a swift motion, the blade plunged into Shadow's heart, and the raven's lifeless body crumpled to the ground.

"No!" Wesley's scream echoed through the night, a cry of pure anguish that tore through his very soul.

Days turned into weeks, and Wesley was consumed by grief. The world seemed a darker place without Shadow by his side. But in the depths of his despair, on a stormy night, something extraordinary happened. As he knelt in prayer, seeking solace in the emptiness of his room, a book—ancient and mysterious—descended from the sky, landing gently before him. Its cover was marked by a single, ominous eye.

Drawn to the book, Wesley opened it with trembling hands. Inside, he found arcane texts written in a language older than time itself. The words spoke of an ancient power, one that could grant dominion over life and death, but at a cost. The soul was the key, and those who mastered this power could call back the dead—if they were willing to sacrifice their own humanity.

Years passed, and Wesley, now known as Grey Talon, became the book's chosen one. He delved deeper into its secrets, unlocking powers that no mortal had wielded for centuries. His heart hardened as he mastered the art of soul manipulation, his once gentle spirit consumed by a thirst for vengeance.

The day finally came when he attempted to bring Shadow back to life. But the ritual had an unforeseen consequence. Shadow's body remained lifeless, but its soul returned, trapped between the realms of the living and the dead. The bird's ethereal form followed him, a constant reminder of what he had lost—and what he had become.

With his newfound powers, Grey Talon hunted down the masked murderer, his eyes burning with a cold, unyielding fury. When he found him, he unleashed the full extent of his dark magic. His soul was torn from his body, leaving him a hollow shell, an echo of the pain he had caused.

But vengeance did not bring him peace. Instead, it deepened the darkness within him. The world soon whispered his name in fear, the legend of Grey Talon spreading like wildfire. He was no longer the kind-hearted boy who had once loved a raven. He was something else entirely—an embodiment of grief, power, and unending sorrow, forever marked by the loss that had shaped his destiny.

And so, Grey Talon roamed the world, a shadow of his former self, with his raven's soul by his side, eternally bound to the darkness he had embraced.
