This is the adventures of an O/C of mine named Ajax. Many different things will happen some good some bad, all life changing. Will he end up with the side of good or will he be corrupted and fall to the shadows.
It had been a few months since the attack and the village was nothing but a pile of ash and rubble now. Ajax after passing out had been dragged back to their cave system by a couple of the wolves that had chosen him as their leader. By now Ajax's physical wounds had healed but he still had many emotional wounds, the loss of his mother from the fight and his father had been overwhelmed by monsters and torn apart. Both of these thoughts had shattered him emotionally and almost mentally. After a long time of either sitting in the cave or doing several different exercises to stay strong he eventually grew close to the wolves and soon even called them family. The fox had stayed in the cave with all the wolves and him, but stayed to themselves for the most part. After Ajax had healed enough he chose to join the wolves when they went on hunts for their food. He uses his smaller of the two swords, most of the time and did the only thing he could with it from a distance... throw it. For a while he missed a lot but eventually got good enough to hit a deer in the eye with the sword. When he got his first kill the wolves did what they do with any new "wolf" that made their first kill and had him carry it back to the cave. As time passed he got closer to the wolves and after even wrestling a few of them he eventually became one of the top fighters out of the pack, even though he did get beat in a few of the matches, which they always rub in.
As the years past his instincts, reflexes, and strength increased greatly from all the training he had been doing, some of what the wolves had taught him plus drills his father had taught him. Day after day he trained and grew closer to the different wolves in the pack. He talked with the fox a few times and they started to teach him one of the few things he least expected to ever learn...Magic. The fox had told him that after the fight at his house, it would be better if he had more than one way of fighting and ,Stubbornly, Agreed. His father had told him stories about magic uses... and how cheap they were. But it looked like he would not quite be a mage as his father called them but a mix of a magic user and a swordsman, Which he honestly thought was quite cool. So as the years past he kept getting stronger and believe that this would be how his life would stay, but one day that all changed for better or worse was yet to be confirmed.
The next morning Ajax woke up because of a noise he had heard from the mouth of the cave, "this can't be good". He then turned and lightly shook one of the wolves to wake them causing it to roll over and look at him with tired eyes, "someone is here" Ajax said in a loud whisper. The wolf's eyes opened wide as it was fully awake before jumping up and running to wake the rest of the pack as Ajax walked towards the mouth of the cave while he put on the small amount of armor he had grabbed from his house when he made a trip back. As he reached the mouth of the cave he saw four people standing at the entrance. Two of them had weird looking plate armor with glowing lines going across it in orderly patterns, while the other two had simple leather armor and Ajax chuckled as he thought to himself, "the two with the leather are most likely hired mercenaries, but the other two I'm not so sure about". As he came into their view one of the people in leather drew a bow while the other drew a sword and shouted at him, "who are you and what are you doing here?"

(A/N remove the large spirit in the back and the smaller sword but this is basically what the two people not in leather armor look like.
Ajax rested his hand on the smaller of his two swords which was currently hanging from his hip, "I live here, why are you here?" One of the men in the weird looking armor steps forward slightly, "we have been sent to deal with a wolf problem." Ajax growled when he heard this before looking behind him as the rest of the pack joined him in front of the people. The two in leather armor drew their weapons and attacked one firing an arrow while the other charged with his sword ready for a side swing. Ajax quickly draws the smaller of his two swords and flips the tip in a circle blocking the arrow before quickly intercepting the slash from the others sword as their blades lock. "Why are you stopping us!" yelled the mercenary with the bow before firing a second arrow. Ajax looks at them before grabbing the mercenary whos blade he was locked with and flipped him over his shoulder and through him into the arrows path causing them to get hit in the shoulder in between the joints making the arm go limp.The Mercenary stumbled back to his partner as Ajax picked his sword up out of the ground from where he had pinned the mercenaries sword, "Anyone else want to try?" One of the people in the weird armor leaned over to the other before they stepped forward and drew a large sword "I hope that tiny thing isn't all you plan to fight with" Ajax glared at the person before sheathing his smaller swords and tosses it back towards the cave before taking the large sword off of his back. The man laughs "you act more wolf than man" before he charges at Ajax dragging the tip of their sword in the ground.
Ajax ducked and rested his sword across his back causing his opponent's sword to scrap across it as they try to for a sideways slash before Ajax stands and swings the sword in an upwards diagonal slash knocking his opponent's sword above his head before bringing his sword back down aiming for his opponents head. The armored person dives to the side as the swords slams into the ground creating a small crater before Ajax looks over at the person. "You have some skills I'll give you that" The person raises their sword before charging at Ajax again so they clash blades for a few minutes. After a bit they stood a short distance from each other as they both were out of breath Ajax more so than his opponent but eventually Ajax dropped to a knee while leaning on his sword, resting the tip of it on the ground. At this point the two mercenaries decided to try and attack the wolves again but both were thrown because of two pillars of earth shooting out of the ground then falling onto the mercenaries causing them to be pinned to the ground. Ajax then stood shakily while using his sword as a brace to help him all while glaring at the four people with a look of resistance.
