Alptraum Aogane

History Full version

(I wont appologize for this being long. It is also being worked still)

Have you ever heard the echoes of a baby's cry through the leaves and the trees? You figure the sound wouldn't carry but the sound did and to very sensitive ears. Fates had smiled and frowned on the bundle, smiled for the cries of the infant where heard frowned at what was. The two female Viera found the source of the cries, one infant that was very much alive and screaming her tiny head off, still wet from birth. The other smaller bundle still with no movement, also wet from birth. Twins left to the fates not more than maybe a few minutes or maybe hours old. The pair looked for any signs if the infant's parents lingered but none were found and the small one's cries were getting more presentant, the poor thing was wet and hungry.Making a choice that would make sure at least one of the infants would live and the other would be properly buried the picked up the small babies, both miqo'te one was a girl who was very much alive the other was a boy. There was sadness in the self appointed mothers as they held the smaller twin, the little boy, for they saw no life in him. They couldn't even see the shallow breathing it was doing. Only when the two were moved away from each other did he make the faintest sound of a whimper. Small and weak there was still life, and that led the pair to be helpful. Thus fates smiled and gave the two a chance, they were named untraditionally from miqo'te names since their lineage was unknown. The little girl Amethyst for her purple eyes and her brother Alptraum, both taking the family name of Nye.They grew up Amethyst being stronger and taller, if not slightly overprotective of her smaller twin brother. Who struggled through his life with being fragile like the soft wings of a butterfly, his personality on the other hand was larger than his tiny little body and he was always up to something. Despite the need for their mothers to keep him indoors he would find his way outside, up in the trees and high places. He would often take his sisters toys there to play, his sister learned to hunt while he learned how to dance. When he was old enough or at least strong enough both of them learned the way of the archer, his mother teaching him to dance helped his body gain strength even if his health never was fully 100%.Sadly fate was not done with the twins and before they had reached their teens their family, their home and their tribe was lost to them. A plague had swept through, or what they thought had been a plague, while they were out deep within the forests and swamps. Doing what all children do (running away from your sister because you have her toy and she is mad), when they returned home everyone in the small viera tribe was dead. It had been quick and seemed to hit them all at once. Alptraum was the one that had made the choice, fearing it was some kind of illness that set the small little tribale village a flame.After the death of their families the moved on, moving into a small worn-down shack just outside of one the villages their mothers used to trade with. They where small with Alptraum being smaller than most boys his age while Amethyst was clearly more suited for what ever was thrown at them. The lived off the forest and what they could trade with the village, both the twins became good at hunting while Amethyst became more skilled at the bow and Alptraum dance. Alp hated this live and missed things like candies and sweets, his twin was a literal hard ass when it came to what little money they had. He felt she didn’t understand the craving and needs for sweets every now and then.He started venturing off to other places while she hunted or gathered in the forests and wild lands. The little pink kitten was curious about all things. His smell and hearing where heightened, and he could smell more than just changes in scents. He could smell changes in moods and feelings, physical and emotional. He never knew why but they always had a different scent to them when their moods where different. The most alluring scent was arousal, even as a young boy not quite legal he learned very quickly that scent meant money and treats. He also saw the way some men looked at his girlish figure and how he small he was. Every time they did the scent would increase and he used it to his advantages.Alp was a quick learner, he learned used to his mouth various ways in dark corners and allies of Kugane and other major cities. Though Kugane was his favorite because if he did a good job of pleasing the man who had bought him might get sugar candy as an extra reward. Alp didn’t know it was wrong since he was technically underage, he had an idea it was, but he didn’t stop. He had extra money for the sweets he missed, and it ensured his sister and him never had to be cold or hungry in the leaner months. His twin never asked where the money came from or his sweets, he felt that she already had an idea.It never was a lot since Alp was kept his prices cheap so not to get caught and he stated to grow older, so some men had lost interested in him. He never understood really, though he could smell emotions he never understood them. Finally, his twin and him pressed into the cities, adventuring closer and closer to more people. Often, he would watch from the trees around New Gardian as people came and went from the forest city. His sister would only catch people in passing and any time Alp had travelled into the city it was under the cover of darkness to make shady deals.
