Two kingdoms, One fallen to dark forces of destruction and greed, the other this dark force's next prize. He had seen it before, A mage cloaked in red, dark as the flames of a fire and with light lining, as bright as blood shed. His name is Vadim and he seeked none of what was coming.<br/><br/>With his age proceeding him, Vadim was just a traveler, one with the touch of magic but desperately trying to stay out of the conflict. Whether it be from the Dark army to steal away his freedom and force him to fight for them, or from the ones in Fieri, looking for help where ever they can find it, or even from those who'd attack him just because he could cast spells.<br/><br/>Vadim's powers were strong, but hidden for few knew of what he could do and he was always on the move, never staying in one place long enough for his face to be recognized. But there was one feature of him that cause him to stand out, besides his red cloak, it was his red eyes, bright and blazing with red war paint that went down under his eyes to under his chin where it stopped.<br/><br/>Again with his war paint and bright eyes and even young looks, Vadim was far too rememberable for his own likings, tending to stay away from groups, traveling on his own. His only companion being a snow white fox with a few grey patches on his back and a blacked tipped tail with tuffs of long on his ears. The Fox's name is Blizzard.<br/><br/>Blizzard was a much larger beast then what he had been when he was first given to the mage as a friend, becoming more of a larger wild dog while still keeping his wild fox like looks. But both were becoming older and with the first of the attacks starting, Vadim knew he'd have to move on sooner or later, or just stay back and watch as the Kingdom of Fieri either falls to the dark army or force them back and survive.<br/><br/>It was confirmed in his mind that he had to leave when he found a military camp destroyed in an attack with soldiers lying dead from the on slaughter that had ensued there. He found a few survivors and helped who he could, with out using any of his magic, but if his strange look's didn't give it away of what he was then he didn't know what would, besides actually using his spells.<br/><br/>He was able to get out of one of the soldiers that he'd helped to tell him what had happened there, and it was bad. the camp had been taken by surprise and as a result many new recruits had deserted fleeing after a short time fighting and most of the men were unprepared for the attack, leaving many of them dead.<br/><br/>After passing through the shambles of the camp the mage made his way to a town that was within the boarders of Liere. Vadim knew perfectly well where he'd just passed to, but it didn't bother him very much. He wouldn't be staying for very long. Finding a well kept inn, Vadim entered it and glanced around, keeping his hood up so his face couldn't be seen very well.<br/><br/>Most of the people who were there, were at the bar so Vadim knew he could stay clear of them as he went to get a room, not bothering to pull his hood down, feeling better that no one could really see his face, not that they needed too.
