Subject  My Hist



Growing up in the Majestic Capital of The Minotaur Empire,
Nethosak, Skurn
lived quite a normal minotuar life.

Skurn, part of the Teskos clan, trained to be a warrior with some
of the
greatest in all of Mithas.

Skurn was the youngest of 5 children and his parents were Priest
of Sargas.

All his simblings aimed to become Emperor, but Skurn was
different.

Skurn wanted to leave his homeland and explore the continent of
Ansalon. He
longed for adventure, but that would not come until later in his
life.

Years past and became one of the best warrior of all Mithas. He
took a job a
State Guard and was quickly promoted to Captain after showing
great courage.

Skurn's whole life changed one day. A patrol had found a group of
Knights in
black armor badly hurt wandering around lost. They were captured
and thrown in
jail.

The High Priest had ordered Skurn to interrogate that knights and
find out why
they had come to their land.

Skurn came down to the cell, where they were being held and asked
for the
leader of the group.

A beautiful human lady stepped up, even with dirt and dry blood
all over her
face, she was still the most beautiful person he had ever seen.

The women introduced her self as Lady Dezra, Knight of Takhisis.
She told
Skurn that her and her crew's ship had been thrown off course by
story which
badly hurt their ship.

The ship then crashed into this land. Skurn nodded went back to
report to the
High Priest.

Skurn could not get Derza out of his head, he kept think of her
beautiful
body. But knew that this was wrong, it was strictly against all
of the things
Minotaurs believed in to fall in love with a human.

He approached the High Priest and told him the knight's story.
The High Priest
nodded and said "bring those lesser beings to the Great Circus
and let them
fight to their deaths."

Skurn without thinking protested but quickly shut his mouth. Back
talking to
the High Priest was not a good idea.

The High Priest stared at him and reading his mind. He spat, and
growled "You
have fallen in love with this human scum."

Skurn quickly denied it and said would never fall in love a with
a human. But
the High Priest was right and Skurn was in love with her and the
High Priest
knew it.

The High Priest ordered Skurn to prove it and kill the prisoners.
Moments
later, guards came in dragging the prisoners behinds them.

Skurn growled and took out his axe. He approached the first
knight and slit
his throat. He continued this until there was one more left, Lady
Derza.

Skurn approached her, stared at into her pretty blue eyes and
dropped his axe.
He could not kill her. The High Priest growled.

Lady Derza and Skurn were both thrown into jail and would fight
for their
freedom in the Great Circus. Skurn had lost everything but it was
all worth it
to him. He and Derza and fallin in love and fight to the end. She
taught him
the ways of Takh isis and knighthood. They fought heroicly
together for weeks
in the name of Takhisis, but they could last no longer. They had
grown tired
and the battles were getting even more unfair.

They prayed to Takhisis for help every day and finally, she
answered them. The
Dark Queen told them she had seen their courage and devotion to
her. She
smiled and told Skurn and Derza would free them.

Takhisis ottered some words and in a flash they were teleported
into Storm
Keep. There, Skurn joined the knighthood and now fights alongside
Derza in the
name of Takhisis.
