Do you like Villains? Duh! Well of course you do!
So for the unofficial second instalment of the introduction to my characters, I've done something a little different. I've done an interview. Yes, you read me right... an interview.
Because how often does your villain really have his or her say?
I know, right? Not often! So I thought he deserved a chance to speak out loud and tell his side of things. At least, as he sees them - for every story has two sides. It's really just a shame that this guy refuses to acknowledge that he got it wrong!
Now to a few brief details to set the scene, and then you can weave your travelling spell and be off.
See, this particular guy... well he is such a grey area because on one hand, he is a 'kick-you-in-the teeth-send-you-to-your-grave' kind of guy that will not stop until his justice is served, but on the other hand he will step up when the going gets tough - if only so that he doesn't get denied the chance to kill you himself if you happen to be on his list.
Of course, there is a very good reason why he's turned out the way he has, and NO it's not just because he is an arrogant, spell-weaving, noble elf, who can stop an army with his magic (or at least maybe half an army). In fact, his story is kinda tragic, but...but-but-but... Oh the things he is willing to do...
So yes, yup, there's a bit of madness there, but I suppose that after a few millennia, anyone else carrying an unresolved grudge, would probably be slightly insane too.
So, enough said, I think. Without further ado, allow me to introduce you to the Flight of Fire, also named, Rhindarhlar Mehand’Arun, ...
Interview:
DR. VILLAIN: What’s an experience that shaped the way you think about the world?
FLIGHT OF FIRE: I have lived a long time. One experience is hardly enough to account for all the changes I have witnessed.
DR. VILLAIN: But if you were pushed to name one?
FLIGHT OF FIRE: Oh very well, I suppose the one they all rant about, would be the day the Realms of Dallancea almost got swept into oblivion by the Venzoian hordes and the Mad Ones. We all fought for the survival of existence that day. All the nine races. Friend and foe. Side by side. It would have been spectacular, if not for the fact that some of us fought a little harder than others. It would have been an event worthy of eternal accolade, but for the fact that we lost.
DR. VILLAIN: So you lost?
FLIGHT OF FIRE: Of course we did. You cannot comprehend the power we stood against; the numbers. If I hadn’t been too busy slaughtering blight Walkers, I would have stood back and laughed at the glory of it all. As it were, I was knee deep in blood and guts, and neck high in magic and the stench of Human fear.
DR. VILLAIN: Hmm… interesting. So you enjoyed the bloodshed?
FLIGHT OF FIRE: Define ‘enjoy’. I kill Venzoians with pleasure. They are the dogs of the Mad Ones and they do not deserve to live. It’s a task to be done, like others eat breakfast or tally their ledgers of commerce.
DR. VILLAIN: Could we return to the question of how this event shaped the world for a moment?
FLIGHT OF FIRE: If you must.
DR. VILLAIN: In that case… You say the races lost, yet here you are, millennia later and clearly not dead? How is that possible?
......AND.... cut! Sorry, if you'd like to follow the link, you can read the answer to that and much more. And believe me: it's anything but boring!

Enjoy!
