Story
Once born, Bryce lived with his mother and father in Sonadale. When his little sister, Yvonne, was born, Bryce was confused and did not realize that his mother had passed away in childbirth. Upon realization, reality hit Bryce and he was forced to grow up quickly.

When he got older, Bryce started to train his sister but the two quickly discovered that she was not skilled in offencive magic. Because of this, the two stopped training together and then the fights started to happen. Even though Yvonne was the one skilled in defence, their roles switched when they fought and Bryce had to defend himself several times against his sisters attacks.

While they were outside fighting while they were 10 and 11, mages entered their home unannounced. The two siblings hid in the bushes outside their home and watched their father be dragged outside. They caught his eye and they both knew that they had to stay hidden. Both of them did not understand what was going on, nor what the group of mages were ranting about, but both of them understood that when their father fell on the ground he was dead.

While they were both scared and shocked, the two maganed to stay hidden until the group of mages finished searching their house and left. Bryce stopped his sister from leaved the safety of the bushes and he moved over to the corpse of their father. While he put on a brave face, Bryce was haunted by that sight and even now, as he's older, it comes back to visit him.

Bryce then walked his sister to the back entrance of their house and told her to stay there while he silently burried their father beside their mother in the yard. Bryce stayed extremely quiet for the next few days but took care of his sister. The two didn't tell anyone about the loss of their father for they both feared that if word got around the mages would come and do the same to them.

The two were shocked when their greatgrandmother, Lauda, a woman who they had only heard stories about, came to visit them. Lauda cared for the two of them but constantly fought with Yvonne which would later permanently runin their relationship. It was no suprise when Yvonne ran away, leaving Bryce to stay with his grandmother.

Bryce stayed by his grndmother's side and cared for her until Lauda eventually convinced him to leave and explore the world himself. After much convincing, Bryce left and traved around Dameon. Durring his travels, Bryce ran into a woman called Sarai. Although the two seemed significantly different, Bryce and Sarai became very close and Bryce took her to visit Lauda several times.

After years of traveling together, Bryce and Sarai winded up marrying each other and the two settled down near Lauda in Sonadale. When Kier was born years later, the young couple was extremely happy and raised her together with the help of Lauda until Kier was 9. Lauda then moved back to Kimore and settle back into her old home.

Bryce lived with his wife and daughter peacefully until the same group of mages that had killed his father whent into his home. Not letting them explaine themselves, Bryce instantly blamed them for his father's murder. The mages then started to attack the small family and while doing so they managed to kill Sarai. Bryce quickly finished off the last of the mages before going to check on Kier who had hid in the hallway. He sent her back to her room while he cleaned up the mess and buried his beloved wife's body and burned the mages corpses. Bryce then when over to his daughter and explained what had hapened, suprised at how well she took the news.
