History:
Birth to six years of age:
Dante was born to Khrarok Stone Fist (Father) and Belinda Nightscale (Mother).However, Dante is just the name given by his father. His mother names him Tenebris Nightscale.
The reason for Dante's forthcoming was not under normal circumstances though. Khrarok was taken by the black dragons after they raided and destroyed his village leaving nearly everyone dead. Khrarok was the only one taken from his village though. The reason being though is because he was the strongest, fiercest and most extraordinary orc fighter in his village. The black dragons didn't just target Orc though, they raided and captured elves, dwarves, halflings, you name it! They only captured the most extraordinary beings.
Khrarok was tortured relentlessly for months while being held captive. Many captives died from the torturing but those who lived only lived because a dragon blooded member took a liking to them. Khrarok was fortunate enough to be chosen by Belinda Nightscale as a suitable mate. She tended to his wounds and nurtured him to full health. Once that was accomplished Khrarok was forced into marriage. After a year of marriage Belinda became pregnant with Dante (Tenebris).
After Dante was born Khrarok rarely ever got the opportunity to see his son. Belinda kept him in her quarters. She fed him and nurtured him for 3 years. Once he was 4 years of age Khrarok was allowed into Belinda's quarters to play and interact. This was the way things were until Dante turned 6 years old.
Six years to 12 years of age:
Dante starts his combat training with his father. For the first few months he goes really easy and is more playful than serious. After the first few months Belinda urges Khrarok to push Dante hard and to be rough with him to toughen him up. Reluctantly Khrarok changes his training tactics so that he can still have time with his son. Training becomes the daily routine for a few years, basic combat training, exercising, stretching, the whole nine yards.
Once Dante turned 9 years of age his mother started educating him. She educated him on the history of the Black Dragons as well as the other dragons. She started teaching him dragon speak as well as sorcery. Every other day after training he would report to his mother's quarters for lessons. This gave Belinda great opportunity to continue to try and keep her influence on him.
After his 11th birthday there was a particular night that Dante will never forget. His mother visited his father in the night and they spoke outside. Dante was presumably asleep but he woke up and decided to try and eavesdrop on their conversation. He realized his father was also taught Draconic or maybe new the language from his youth but nonetheless he was shocked to find this out. His parents spoke sharply and fast, so it was hard to understand much that was said. What Dante does recall is his father asking if he can see his other children. At this point he knew he had siblings. But how many and how old are they? He never bothered to ask thought because he knew that he isn't suppose to know.
Once Dante turned 12 he was introduced to the world of sparing and 1 v 1,2, and sometimes 3 combat with the other children.
12 years to 15 years of Age:
As a young adolescent, Dante's training became more intense as well as his studying with his mother. His father teaches him how to wield his favored weapon of choice and how to fight with it. He is also becoming acclimated to using armor during this time as well. Real and sharpened weapons were used during sparing matches as well so they can understand and respect their weapons and each other.
Dante's studies with is mother are more rigorous at this point. Belinda teaches Dante how to cast minor spells and educates him on his bloodline spell casting. She tells him that one day he will be the most powerful Dragon Blooded Half Orc and that people will bow to him whether in worship or out of fear.
16 years of age:
Now that Dante is 16, the council considers him a young man and should be prepared to take on their gauntlet. This gauntlet is prepared for all of the children who turn 16, it's only purpose is to force their draconic bloodline out of hiding. Their bodies are ravaged and their minds are stressed to unbelievable measures. Most of the children do not live and the ones who do only lived because their bloodline became known to all.
Once Khrarok learned of this gauntlet, he became outraged and lashed out at Belinda but he was subdued quickly and thrown into a cage. When it became time for Dante to take on the gauntlet, Khrarok was forced to watch his son struggle and fight for his life from a cage. When Dante's life was nearing an end though, his body gave in to his bloodline and was able to recoup and finish the gauntlet. Khrarok was released and allowed to be with his son and Belinda who was ecstatic for her young man.
From the next week or so Khrarok decided to plan an escape route out of the encampment. He was too scared for what was coming up in Dante's future. He believed that only death and destruction was in store for his son. Once everything was set, he introduced his son to some brews and decided to get him drunk one night. Once Dante passed out and the encampment was quite he decided to strap young Dante to his back and take his escape route out before Belinda's routine check up. He carefully slipped by the patrolling guards and was successfully able to create a distraction for the guards at the nearby gate. Once out of the encampment he ran with Dante on his back and didn't stop running for three hours. Once he made it to a nearby forest line he made camp and waited for Dante to wake up.
Age 17-20:
Once Belinda found Khrarok's hut empty that night she knew he had escaped. She became outraged and ordered guards to wake up the council and she rallied her a search party to take to the sky. She too, took to the sky.
Once Dante had awoken from his sleep and hungover he immediately knew he wasn't in the camp and questions his father. Without hesitation, Khrarok explained everything in full detail. He even mentioned that he has 4 other siblings, all younger than him. Dante asked why he could never see them and Khrarok smirked and admitted that he never got to see them either. He also explained that his mother is the Brood Mother/Queen of the Black dragons and that taking you away may just lead to his death. However this is all worth trying to him if it meant that Dante could possibly live a normal life, free of death and destruction.
Dante wasn't sure if he could trust his father, afterall, he was close with his mother. She still had influence on him. For the next few years though, they stayed off the main roads, never traveled at night, and rarely ever stopped in any town or cities. Khrarok's goal was to keep a very low profile and to stay out of sight because he knew that Belinda would be relentlessly searching for her son and she was very relentless. She murdered innocent people during her search and destroyed town, forests, and so much more. At night Khrarok and Dante can hear her screams across the night sky, there were many sleepless nights.
21-23 years old:
One morning, Dante woke up to his father missing. All that was left was a pack and a note. In the note was a message from his father.
