I be not rememberin' much o' me past, but what I be, I shall write here. I hail from a mountain home far from here. Name I be not rememberin' but it be a good place. Or so it was. Near me home grey ones be havin' one o' their outposts. Me clan, the Firekegs, had always been avoidin' them but as the year be passin' and we be hearin' or seein' nothin' from them, we grew concerned. Fearin' them grey ones be up fer somethin', the clan leader sent a group o' scouts to see what them be doin'. Several days later, some o' me clans miners be comin' back with our scouts, though they be all dead. A imagined truce was broken, and the clan sent their full fightin' force fer drivin' away them grey. I was in that group. We met no resistance in gettin' into their outpost, but when we be inside them grey ones showed what they be up fer. Showed who they be dealin' in secret with. Dark elves attacked us from above. Clangeddin be proud o' our battle there, but they be too many. Seein' we be overpowered in the outpost, we called a retreat. Some o' us, me included, were stayin' back, givin' the other time fer gettin' away and warn me clan's elders. Fer us coverin' them, it be a nightmare. Magics be hurtin' us, and we knew we had better make our last stand in them outer corridors, outside the outpost. I be the only one gettin' there. Cursin' meself fer leavin', I faced back from where I ran and raised me axe, prepeared fer makin' me last stand alone. Then one o' the dark elves be comin' towards me. He waved his little fingers, then panic attacked me. I be knowin' I shouldn't be fleein' more, but me legs be disagreein'. Befer I be knowin' it, I was back near me clan's home. There, that cursed elf showed up again smilin'. He said somethin' in his own language, then wiggled his fingers again. Me arms, belly, legs and head froze. Dark one wiggled again, and now I be floatin' in the air. And he showed me me clan's end. I be forced to watch it, floatin' and unable to do somethin'. Them drow be attackin' me home, and there were a lot o' them. There, I saw the end o' all that be precious fer me. That elf took great pleasure in killin' me lass, greatest dwarf woman I ever seen, and me little ones. And I could do nothin' but watch. I was broken.
Next the drow be takin' me to the clan hall. There stood me clan leader, which name I be sadly fergettin', fightin' with his last breath. Several slain foes lay near him, and them other drow kept their distance from his axe. But them drow be havin' another ally. A squid, nasty with tentacles instead o' mouth, came in. It quickly moved towards me clan leader, and unleashed a force I felt in me head. It only stunned me clan leader fer a moment. But that be all them drow needed fer gettin' through his defenses. There, the great warrior fell, and I became the last o' me clan. The wiggler talked with the squid. Them be arguin' about somethin', then the elf sighed. The squid faced me, and me world grew dark.
I awakened. Loud noises echoed in the open place I be standin' near, sounds o' spell castin' and screams o' the dyin'. Meself, I be lost. Standin' there like a dumb rothe, I could not be movin'. Grunts be the only sound I could make, I quickly put away the thought o' speakin'. Then one o' the squids be movin' towards me. I be just starin' at it, without thoughts o' runnin' or fightin'. It stood over me, put them nasty tentacles around me head, and began messin' with me head. Warnin's sounded inside me head, but I could do nothin'. Then, it found me brain. I be feelin' it grew eager, and it moved closer to me. Sparks o' divine energy erupted inside me. The sound o' thousand battles rose in me head, and the squid quickly retreated from me, tentacles smokin'. Then I be hearin' his voice. "Why ye be standin' here like a durned rock in the sea?" And I be knowin' it be Clangeddin. "Why ye not be figthin', like ye have done so many times before?" Tears be droppin' from me eyes, I could not speak so I painted a picture in me head, o' me in rags. And an broken axe. "Ye think that means ye be lost, that ye be no good?" I sobbed loudly, and stared at the squid. It be angry and gurglin' it's language, it assulted me head. Waves o' pain came fer me, and I screamed. "Why ye not be fightin'?" And with that, the pain ended. Divine powers pushed back the attack, and I could see the squid clearly again. It waved it's tentacles again. The waves o' pain were slung back. "This time, I be fightin' fer ye. Ye may not be rememberin' much o' yer past now, so I be givin' ye a new name. Ye shall be known as Talir Razenk, in ye language it means either Shield Rebuilt, or Protector Reborn. Think ye lost yer skills in fightin'? Then ye shall serve as a priest. I be fightin' yer battle here, now fight fer me!" The squid unleashed it's mental attack again. But this time, it be meself who fought it. It could not be hurtin' me again. Then it prepeared some other devastatin' attack, but was killed by a half one sneakin' to his back. I be hearin' Clangeddin's voice again, tellin' me to flee. And after some days, I found Sanctuary.
