It was then that he met Vanessa, the apprentice of a notable and honorable paladin and the two took him in. They taught him many things and showed him how to adhere to an oath with grace and dignity.
One day, as they traveled together, the three of them were accosted by a group of bandits. The paladin was forced to sacrifice his life to let his wards escape. The harrowing experience strengthened the bond between the two teens as neither had anything left, except each other. They fell in love and Vanessa bore him a son.
