Nestled deep in lush forests, far from civilization, a husband and wife dwelled. The man was a dragonling by the name of Nivik, clad head to toe in dark black scales, large horns protruding from his forehead and curving back close to his scalp, and a long, thick tail with triangular scales forming out from the top of it. His kind was not of natural birth but was forged through dark blood sorcery and forbidden rituals. Their reptilian appearance a side effect of the magic imbued within them.
He lived peacefully with his beautiful wife, a human woman named Kora. They had met long ago in her home village of Serroff. After they had fallen in love, they eloped and were married by a traveling priest. They ran as far away as they could, for the villagers hated Nivik, and would have surely hurt or killed him for marrying a human girl, especially one from their village.
His past was a painful one, and not easy to escape. He had renounced the powers he was given, and swore on the blood of the gods that his abilities would never again stain this earth with their presence.
