Seamus Thryduulf
Seamus Thryduulf
The morning was warm, the dew on the ground was thick. Mindoga was alive, the animals were plentiful and the forests were thick with brush. Keeghan Thryduulf, and his son, Seamus, had been gathering food for their family. They had been hunting on the water's edge of the Silver Sea when in the distance they heard screams coming from their village. Keeghan took off running. Seamus grabbed his hunting spear from the dead animal and ran twenty paces behind his father. There were raiders, Nomen raiders, attacking the village in Mindoga. They were raping the women and burning Mindoga to ashes. Keeghan went to help, he drew the small sword from his side and stabbed one of the Nomen through his back. He proceeded to kill another. A horseman had come charging from the road and beheaded my father. His sword dropped, and all hopes of safety vanished for young Seamus. Being so young, a mear child, Seamus could not do anything to help. A feeling of worthlessness rushed through his body. The horseman looked at him and went charging after the young boy. Seamus, with his spear in my hand and dagger at his side, ran into the woods. He ran as far and as fast as he could, the horseman not too far beind. Seamus hid among the trees and shrubbery. Holding his breathe, making sure not to make a noise. The horseman slowed to a walk, realizing the boy was hiding. He laughed aloud, like he was on the hunt for mere pleasure. As he passed, Seamus threw spear into the horse, causing it to rise to two feet just before crashing down causing the rider to fall off backwards. The boy grabbed the dagger from it's sheath and thrust it into the mans neck.
Seamus was too afraid to return to the village. Instead he ran deep into the woods. The very few that had survived the attack on Mindoga fled. Never to return. Seamus returned to the village to see nothing but ruins. There were useless objects scattered around the village among the ashes, nothing of value. Except his fathers sword, the last remaining thing to remind him of his family. Seamus returned to the woods to live for many years, he became a shadow, the protector of Mindoga. Seamus vowed that never again would anyone raid the land of Mindoga without their downfall to accompany them.
Seamus became a drifter. Many years later when the Caprican Confederacy was formed, Seamus and Perry Huntington, a man that had come to Mindoga from Shadow Glen, joined the army to fight for it's people and further protect any defensless citizens from harm. They were sent to Kelsidonia where Seamus established himself as a fine warrior. Seamus and Perry soon left Kelsidonia to return home to Mindoga to stand proudly as warriors for the Caprican Empire.
