Meri Sabelson



"I didn't ask for this. Don't make me out as some sort of champion! Some sort of chosen one! I'm just human like everybody else!"

Meri wasn’t born into anything important. At least, according to him, he wasn’t. Meri Sabelson had a simple life. A mother he loved. Friends he loved to hate. True love that could never be replaced. At least until the next season. For twenty-three long and glorious years, he lived a happy, normal and simple life. He was no one important. Not really.

At least, until he was.

When the bright golden wings sprouted from his back, and his once long black hair turned a vibrant, pale white, he became very important. The town saw it as divine intervention. His friends saw it as abnormal. His mother saw something else, but he wasn’t sure what. To everyone he became very important. Too important as far as he was concerned.

And when the holy men from their church came and marked him as the champion of the gods and of nobility, Meri wanted no more. We wanted a way out. Someone offered him one. Something offered him one. From within the deepest blackest confines of his mind echoes a voice, gentle and soft.

''Do you wish for freedom? From fate? From power?''

A sweet and innocent voice that would fall harshly and painfully upon the ears of any other. Do you want to make everything like it was again? Weak men would do anything to keep things as they were.

And Meri was no different.

He made a deal with something that marked him for the rest of his days as the the melodic echoes turn sour. And when he looked upon a crimson red knife, wedged painfully in a holy man’s back, he soon realised how much truly weak he really was. Meri ran from the burning torches and the hatred and the fury, his wings withering and blackening with an ungodly visage. His sparkling pale hair becomes dull and ashen. Fallen would perhaps be the correct term, but Meri barely had a chance to even fly.

But this was months ago. Now Meri travels to new ventures, coming to terms with what he is but seeking answers to what that means. Meri now resides within the walls of Dire Arch, discovering more about his angelic nature and steadily growing in power.
