Master Bilkas
Master Bilkas
A spry and troublesome youth, Bilkas was born in the year 71 on Mirage Island. It didn’t take long for the gnome boy to earn a reputation of stirring up trouble. As a young man, he was just as infamous. However, one day while escaping a band of mercenaries he had crossed, Bilkas wandered into the forest around the mountain, rumored to be the home of a dangerous beast. Bilkas feared no creature, especially one no one had ever truly seen. As night fell, Bilkas figured it would be safe to leave the dark wood that had been his savior. As he moved through the wood he saw the same mercenaries from earlier attacking a family of creatures, though it was hard for him to make out what kind in the chaos. Without thinking he immediately attacked, trying to save the creatures that still lived. The mercenaries quickly turned on him as the creatures fled, Bilkas taking the full brunt of their anger and frustrations. As he laid on his last breath as a sword came down at him, everything around him froze as it almost felt like air itself escaped him and darkness consumed him. Or was it light? He truly couldn't tell.
A voice spoke to the gnome, asking if he truly wished to live. Bilkas only had one answer, "Living has been hell, but death would be more so."
"And what of these people?"
"I enjoy trouble-making and having a laugh, but people like these who hunt the innocent I do not enjoy whatsoever. They do not deserve mercy."
Warmth consumed Bilkas as his wounds began to heal, surrounded by a whitish-blue flame. The mercenary before him shifted backwards to escape the chaotic flames as they formed into nine tail like shapes. Behind the flames a face that stood much taller than the gnome or the mercenaries appeared, the vulpine eyes locked on the mercenaries. Suddenly, eight others of them appeared around the group, trapping them. A voice seemed to infect their minds as the entire area they stood in warped as everything within disappeared, their screams unheard as their very existence unraveled.
As the area returned to normal nothing remained of the mercenaries, the forest having taken them. Bilkas looked up at the singular creature that still remained behind him as it stared down at the small gnome. Bilkas bowed to Kitsune, thanking her for her assistance and offering his service to the deity. Kitsune looked skeptically upon the small creature.
"Watch out, that man with the sword is still alive!" Kitsune shouted.
Bilkas whipped around seeing nothing there, only to hear a snickering laugh as the deity disappeared back into the trees.
"You are not the only one who likes a good laugh, little gnome."
