Early this week I was awakened early from my slumber by a cry for help, heard from within. Restless, and unable to sleep, I took a walk down Tyran's shores. All the while, the feeling that something was wrong burned within me...

It was then that I came upon Vlar Dracul, lying face down in the sand on the banks of Tyran, left for dead. It seems he had been washed ashore, having been burnt badly by the light of the day.

*Shyno rolls Vlar over, trying to revive him with salt water to the face, and a good shaking, slapping his cheeks lightly to rouse him* Shyno: "Vlar, my brother! What has happened? speak to me!"

*Vlar opens his blood red eyes, latching onto Shyno's arm with his grasp, lest he get slapped again...sits up slowly looking about him in confusion. returns his confused gaze to Shyno* Vlar: *Where am I?"

Shyno: "You're Home. Tyran's Cove."

*Vlar arches a brow, shaking his head slowly* Vlar: "And who are you?"

*Shyno looks to him concerned* Shyno: "I...I am your brother in blood. Lord Shyno of Dark Kingdom."

*Vlar swallows hard...his mind a blurr as he tries to collect his thoughts* Vlar: "And...who am I?"

Shyno: "Who...do you think you are?"

*Vlar thinks silently a minute, his thoughts racing, and finally utters the words: "I am Valor..."

It was then that Vlar passed back out, collapsing before me..his bloody head cushioned by the wet sands of the shore. I carried him back with me to the Kingdom, and had him put in bed, appointing Olga, a nurse maid, to have him cleaned up, and his wounds cared for.

Three days later, my brother awoke. I came into his guest quarters to check on him, when I discovered Olga on the floor, her Life drained away, lying in a pool of blood.

*Shyno looks around the room, spots a dark figure lurking in the shadows* *Shyno smirks*.. "Feeling better, I see."

*the tanned figure steps forth from the shadows slowly...nodding with a grin*

After many hours of speaking with him, it has been decided that my brother shall remain with the Dark Kingdom. He has lost most of his memory, and will need our support now, in his time of need. He believes his name to be Valor Dracul. So be it. I ask that all please welcome and let him feel at Home on the road towards his recovery.
