The first thing he remembers is a women screaming "Spare my baby" right before she gets a sword through the stomach. Animeius was discovered under a pile of ash by an older dwarf named fletcher. Fletcher was a woodsman and raised Animeius as his own son. He never told Anmeius that he was not his sone. Fletcher knew that Animeius had to learn to defend himself . so on Animeius's seventh birthday he was given his first weapon it was just a stick with leather wrapped handle. "Son this is for you" "Thanks dad" "But what is it" "Ha ha ha " " Son that is what we call a sword" " I will train you with this so you can learn to protect yourself." "But dad why would i need to protect my self you will always be there to protect me"" "No son one day i will be gone and you will have to protect your self" "But dad why would you leave me"  " Son i would not leave you by choice but one day i will be taken from you," "whether it be from old age or death by the sword i will not be here forever but i will train you to the best of my abilities " "I wont let you down dad."     :: Animeius you are now 18 years old and have finally became a man" "Thank you dad" Animeius is now a Full grown Dwarf" " But dad i have to ask you a question: " " who was my mother?"
