The Chronicles of Daithi Mac:

As Daithi walked along the path to the sacred training ground with his father, Cuchlain Mac,he felt the calm mountain wind blowing against his face.Daithi had started his training at the age of 8,the right of passage for all clan boys to train to become a warrior."Today my boy I will teach you an ancient Choill clan skill."his father said with a grin."The way of the tiger,a very powerful axe stance.With this skill our clan has driven back the summit into there caves many times."he said proudly.The Choill clan were small in numbers ,around 200 warriors,but what they lacked in numbers they made up for in skill and tactics.There skirmishes with the summit dwarfs had proven there strength,where they defeated armys 2 or 3 times bigger then their own.They kept livestock and hunted for food.There village was in the north of the shiverpeaks however no-none clan member had never stepped foot there as it was so well hidden.Daithi and his father reached the training grounds,"draw your axe my boy and let us begin...."

After a long days training Daithi and his father headed home,where his mother and sister awaited him.All of a sudden the sound of thundering foot steps rang out through the mountains.In the distance...an army approached,white mantle...hundreds of them."White mantle.."his father wispered."Quickly stay out of site"They hid in a small cave and peared out."They will surely attack the village"his father said with worry in his voice,"And all are asleep at this hour".His father pondered for a few seconds.The mantle headed for the village."Right!"he said "I must distract them so our clan men can get to arms!".Cuchlain drew both his axes and let out a wild roar."Run Daithi!"he shouted.Daithi hesitated."Father, I will fight to!"Daithi exclaimed."No,my son,your skills are not good enough!"he said."Run!,I will protect the village!"his father said as he charged into the mantle.Not wanting to disobey his father Daithi ran and hid in the fields till morning came.

When the sun rose Daithi ran to the village."surely my people survived this night" he thought as he was running.When he reached the village the sight made him drop to his knees.They were dead...all dead.The village had been burned to the ground,its people killed in there sleep.All of a sudden he heard someone cry out"Daa..it..hi..!".It was his father.Badly wounded laying on the ground.Daithi ran to his side."Daa..it..hiii.. "he struggled to say"my ..wounds are.. fatal,so I will.. make this brief arghh."each word brought him pain."yes father Im listening!"Daithi cried."You must ..avenge this ...horror that has ...befallen our clan!Avenge the....Clan Daithi!Kill the....white mantle..officer..responsible!Daithi lay by his side heartbroked by all that had happened.With his last words Cuchlain Mac cried out"LEIS MO CLANNN!!!!".With these words he closed his eyes and accepted death.Daithi stood up and roared "LEIS MO CLANNN!!!!!!I WILL AVENGE YOU FATHER AND THE CHOILL CLAN"his yells could be heard in Ascalon.A fire burned within Daithi,he would never rest until his vengence to the white mantle was dealt.Daithi Mac's quest was about to begin....

The Chronicles of Daithi Mac-chapter 2:

Daithi crawled down Mt. Shiverpeak,It was a miracle he escaped alive.After many hours in the agonising cold he reached the gates of a town."Droknar",the sign read.With his last ounce of strength he limped into the town,before falling to the floor in exhaustion.

When He awoke he found someone staring back at him."Relax young lad" the large soldier grumbled.Daithi recognised the uniform as an ascalon soldier."You arrived here in a right state"the soldier said."I am Sergent Titus of the Ascalon guard,We have been tracking a white mantle patrol through these mountains for some time"he said."I have met them sir"Daithi replied,"they destroyed my village and all my people further north"Daithi lowered his head in sorrow."Your family?everyone?And you got here all by yourself lad?You have fare endurance to shoulder the harsh winds and fiends of these mountains thats for sure."Titus said as he scratched his beard."We might have a place for you among our ranks lad,how would you like come back to train in Ascalon as a soldier?"Daithi thought to himself,"perhaps If I train I can become strong enough to defeat the white mantle and have my vengence!""Well lad what will it be?"Titus said."Yes,sergent I would be honoured"Daithi replied."Very well lad,We'll return to ascalon at dawn,those mantle are long gone."said Titus.

Daithi trained at Ascalon Academy for 8 years,as a warrior.He then spent 2 years fighting in the skirmishes against the charr.At the age of 18 he left the ascalon army,dissillusioned and annoyed with there constant defeat,many times narrowly escaping death because of there failure.He left battle hardened and a skilled warrior ready to finally seek his revenge.And so he set about his journey of Tyria,searching for the mantle officer responsible.But he needed the help of others,others like himself seeking to destroy all evil in Tyria...........He would find this in the Dragon Knights.

The Chronicles of Daithi Mac-chapter 3:
Daithi once again returned to the shiverpeaks,hoping he could find something to lead him to the white mantle.In truth,he also missed its snowy peaks and cold breeze.He played there happely as a boy all his childhood and Ascalon just didnt seem the same.As he walked along the mountain trail,he noticed that the winds had become mucher harder then 10 years before."I must seek shelter"he thought to himself"I can see a blizzard coming in.Best not to chance it."He took refuge in a cave nearby.Some time past as he rested,and finally the blizzard began to die down.Daithi was about to set out when he felt a presence in the cave.There was something else there and it felt dangerous.Not wanting to tempt faith,Daithi gathered his things and walked towards the cave exit.

Just then a huge beast jumped from higher ground in the cave and blocked his escape.Daithi recoiled in surprise and stared at the beast to see if he knew its breed.It remained motionless all that could be seen was its heavy breathing and piercing red eyes,which gazed at Daithi with out blinking or wavering.The creature took two steps foward to get a closer look at Daithi.Daithi could now see it to.It was a wolf,of sorts,however it was no less then 5 feet high with a massive build.Daithi could tell this was no ordinary wolf.Further more,it had red streaks of fur running through its coat and its fangs were huge,its two main canines to large to keep in its mouth,worn down by years of eating and crushing bone.Then ,to Daithi's surprise,the wolf spoke."I am Fenrir,king of wolves"it said in slow rough tone."Well human,what makes you think you can enter my den so freely?"."I did not know it was your den,Fenrir.How is it that you can talk fiend!?"Daithi shouted."I speak many languages human,yours is just one of them.hundreds of years of stalking your kind from the bushes,one can not help but pick it up."Fenrir replied."Now......man",the wolf said"your penalty for entering my den is death and becoming my fodder!".Daithi gripped the handle of his axe tightly,which lay at his belt."You will not kill me so easily beast!"shouted Daithi,drawing his axe and shield."very well"Fenrir replied with anger"I will enjoy ripping you from limp to limp!".They both ran at each other,Daithi screaming wildy,Fenrir barking just as loud.they clashed with great force,the sound rang out through the Shiverpeaks.Daithi swang his axe with great strength,each time Fenrir avoiding the blows.Fenrir threw his massive paws into force which Daithi blocked with his shield.Fenrir struck again and again until the shield was no more then scrap metal.Daithi threw the wasted shield to the ground"no worries" he said with a grin"he stike so slowly a Yak could avoid them!"said Daithi sarcastically.Enraged by this insult,Fenrir charged at him and they battled for some time,some say hours,some say days.

Finally,Fenrirs centuries of experience showed.He blew Daithi's axe from his hand and delivered an all mighty chain of strikes to Daithi which finally knocked him to the ground only half conscious.Daithi struggled to get up but it was no good he was exhausted and wounded.Fenrir approached slowly and menacingly.He lay his full body weight on Daithi to make sure he didnt get away.Daithi struggled to breath and knew his faith was as good as sealed."Hmph"sighed Fenrir with contempt"I thought you said a Yak could beat me human?"said Fenrir sarcastically."Just get it over with fiend!You have beaten me,I accept my faith!"shouted Daithi.Fenrir seemed to be deep in thought."No."he growled softly"You have shown yourself to be very powerful human,what is your name?"Fenrir said."I am Daithi Mac Giolla Choill,of the ancient Choill clan"Daithi said with pride."Well,Daithi Mac,I'll make you a deal.I will spare your life on one condition."said Fenrir"however i cannot tell what it is young pup.Do we have a deal?asked the wolf.

Daithi thought hard."surely it must be better then death?"he thought to himself."Fine, Fenrir, I accept"Daithi replied."Good!"said Fenrir.He took his weight off Daithi and backed away."What no..."said Daithi.Before he could finish Fenrir sunk his fangs into Daithi's leg.Daithi screamed in agony."Arghhh!!what are you doing wolf!?We made a deal!!"Daithi shouted."Indeed we did young pup, this is it"growled Fenrir with a wolf smirk of sorts on his face.Daithi finally succumbed to exhaustion and passed out."Do not fret young pup"said Fenrir."This is the the beginning of greatness for you....."

The Chronicles of Daithi Mac-chapter 4
Daithi's eyes opened,to the pain of searing sunlight.He lay on his back staring at the sky,which was without a single cloud.The sun shone with intensity that Daithi had never seen in the Shiverpeaks or Ascalon.He didn't know where he was or how he got there.All he remembered was passing out when Fenrir bit him.However there was no pain in his leg,indeed there was no wound either.But he did feel different.It was as if though his blood was constantly angry,his vains were filled with fury.He couldnt rightly understand.

Daithi propped himself up off the ground and gandered around the area."hmph,these are the lands of Krypta if im not mistaken."he said aload.He had never been to krypta before,but descriptions of it from his fellow clan men had made him think it was so.Clear blue skys,crystal sands and strange hilly land,indeed it had to be kryta.

Then Daithi noticed something alarming,he was surrounded by bones and blood!He, himself was covered in blood.However it was not his own.The bones were both man and beast."What could this mean?"he thought."Was I a victim of some wild beasts attack?".He didnt quite now what to think.He washed himself off in a nearby steam and made for the path to the nearest town.

After many miles of walking,and thinking,Daithi reached the town known as Lions Arch.As he entered the gates,he felt his stomach grumble."he,Im famished,best head for a tavern."He took to a small tavern called "The Drunken Wolf",which despite its size,was busy with cheer and drinking.Daithi sat at a small table in the back,careful not to attract attention to himself."Now lad!"said the tavern keeper"What can I get ye?"."Meat!"snarled Daithi"and plenty of it"." Alright lad,me wife il cuk ye up sum nice pig ribs!"said the keeper with heart."No"said Daithi"I want the meat .....raw,blood and all".The tavern keeper looked at him with curiously.".....Raw lad?E-h-h-h o....k not to worry i think I can do tha for ye".said the tavern keeper with a note of worry.Daithi was confused.He had never eaten meat raw before but now he felt he could have eaten a whole horse alive!Something had changed in him,which he could only think was Fenrir's doing.When he was finished he took his leave of the drunken wolf,eager to continue his search for the mantle.As he walked along the path southwards,he felt himself convulse in anger.He fell to the floor wreathing in fury.He felt his limbs stretch and change,his ears got longer and he became even more muscular.His teeth grew long and sharp and his body covered in fur withinin minutes.He now stood tall,some say 8 foot others say 10.It was clear now what Fenrir had done to him.He had made him into half man,half wolf,a werewolf as some folk call them.At that moment Daithi lost control of himself and blacked out,it felt as if though his primal instincts had taken hold of him.He could not control his beastly lust for killing and murdering
