User blog:EmptyHollowThud/forgotten one chapter 1: Origins

so this is my first time writing a fanfic, let alone operating on a wiki. please take it easy if i'm not posting this right! thank you.

with the growing of the demon lord's powers and the diminishing influence of the Order's influence and army in most parts of the world, the Order has been forced to take desparate measures in order to make any resistance possible to keep the demon lord's influence at bay. examples of these desparate measures include drafting soldiers who didn't finish training at their military academies and planting mobile military bases near enemy territory, mainly near the demon lord's citadel. it is in one of these bases that we find a soldier who was plucked out of the soldier academy far too soon; Vincent.

The product of a humble farmerand a herbalist, Vincent appeared pretty average to say the least. he had short, messy brown hair, somewhat tanned skin, dark brown eyes, and kind of lean but feeble looking to say the least. he had a strong desire to be a functioning member of society, his biggest influence being his farmer father and herbalist mother.finding his niche proved to be difficult, as his attempts to follow in any task given to him, wherther it be by his parents or one of the varoius jobs he attempted, inevitably ended in some sort of disaster. Otherwise, however,he grew up in a very supportive and happy family.

this changed,however, shortly after his 17th birthday, when he left to the market to run errands, what greeted him when he returned was his home, half burnt and destroyed. within what was left of his home was the bodies of his parents, both heavily wounded and bleeding to death. scared and frantic, he attempted to rush in to save his parents, but between the roaring flames and the fallen debris obstructing his attempts, he had no choice but to watch in horror as what was left of his home fell and crushed his mother and father. after some time, locals came to the scene to see what the trouble was and offer a helping hand, but what they saw was the smoldering remains of a house and a boy groveling on the floor sobbing and wailing. after the debris were cleared, the local village arranged a burial for vincents parents and payed respects to the now homeless and orphaned vincent, who was too warped by grief to pay any mind to anyone at the funeral.

order soldiers passed by to inform the village that a dragon under the demon lord's influence was responsible for vincent's parent's deaths and that the village should keep a weary eye out for any suspicious activity in their home to prevent catastrophies like this from occurring. After hearing this, Vincent's grief turnned into newfound rage, and inspired to help the cause, became a recruit in the Order.

sorry if it seemed to run on and be a little too detailed, but i usually like to fill in any blanks i feel i would've left out. also, it may seem dark, but it'll pick up later, i swear (at least i feel it will anyway). feel free to leave any pointers n stuff and more coming soon so hang tight! and thanks again for reading.
