Azmere was born a shy child in a small herd nobody knew existed, except for the 5 horses it contained. As he grew, he didn't play much with the other children. He preferred to chase fireflies in the meadow at night.. and eat them. Or find the carcasses of coyote-maimed rabbits just to stare at them, imagining their last moments. He was drawn to pain and decay, but no one really knew. One day at 5 years old, he went off exploring. He fell in love, with a mare who was sweet on the outside but fickle, selfish and manipulative on the inside; he'd fallen in love with someone who's heart reeked with decay. He overlooked it, until she became pregnant, and killed his son when the baby was born healthy but disfigured. Azmere flew into such a fury, attempting to kill her as payment. She was a skilled fighter, and sank her teeth into his neck and ripped, hoping to kill him, but as she was weak from childbirth, managed to only give him a nasty scar encircling the front of his neck. Azmere changed, giving in to his demons, rather than suppressing them. He went off alone for a while, before finding his way to Beqanna.
