The scourge of the Thassa
There comes a time in all mens lives when they have to realize who and what they are, in the case of Damon Kai Faler, this is his tale...
The flow of the dark purple and black cape, trimmed in gold gives the appearance of wings on a bird of prey as the man stands on the command deck of the massive Ram ship, Tortured Soul.
Admiral Damon Kai Faler of Port Kar, Master of the House Armageddon, Commander of the Armageddon fleet, founder of the Armageddon shipyards.
But what of the days before his posting in Port Kar, the life on the plains?
This is his tale.
He was born to a Tuchuk and a woman who was his slave and then freed and joined. He grew and lived with his people, and learned their ways. The day came that he would take a test of his manhood and his life would change forever.
He walked into the Hall of a man called Malcomn Soleil. He was there to meet a man who had said things about him that he did not like, or understand. Soleil and his mate took him in until the raider who was hunting the young man had come and gone.
Malcomn Soleil saw something in Damon that he liked and offered him a spot in his training academy. Soleil trained warriors.
Not knowing all he wanted out of life he accepted Soleils offer and started training. He made an oath with the man that he would train and learn and join his forces for a time to repay him.
Shortly after his training was started, Malcomns woman gave birth to a little girl, Amanita. She was Malcomns pride and joy and when Damon started showing promise he brought him into his home and spoke about his daughter.. "Damon, you are going to be a great man some day and I want you to watch over Amanita. She is will need a strong man to take care of her." Honored by his mentors request he accepted.
Not long after that he went to visit his family back on the plains, he met and became involved with a woman named Gara Petathol. In a short time Damon was in love for the first time in his life. He was home as much as he could be between training. He was getting to be friends with Amanita and being a lover with Gara, she was to be his woman.
Malcomn came to Damon, who was now tall and proud, a warrior, a leader, a man. He told him "Damon, you are ment for great things, and you can learn nothing more here. Return to your people and serve them well." Damon looked at his mentor and nodded, he left that night after seeing Amanita and went back to his people on the plains.
But it was not enough. He needed more out of life now than the small village could provide. He needed to roam. He went to Gara and asked her to come with him, she said no. He knew he could force her, but if he did that she would not be Gara anymore, so he turned and walked away. Had he known she was carrying his child he would have turned back.
He traveled to Ar, got work as a guard and a mercenary for hire. The caravan he was hired to protect belonged to a woman, Sharia Rivon.With her he traveled to Port Kar, and met the men of House Strife. After the job was done with Rivon he remained in Port Kar and joined House Strife.
While at House Strife a woman came looking, it was Amanita Soleil. She carried news of her fathers death by natural causes and a scroll asking Damon to care for Amanita until a mate could be found. In their time together he came to realize his love for the woman and claimed her himself.
Not long after that another woman came to him. KaiLiana Faler. As it turned out, it was his daughter, by Gara Petathol. She to would join his family. She had his fire for action and her mothers beauty.. a deadly combination.
After alot of work and time in the house he was soon the En'Captain of that great House. He had to make a decision if he wanted to go any further in the City, and he made it. He left House Strife and started House Armageddon.
Not long after he was made Admiral.
And a short time later he lost his mate, Amanita, lost to the thassa.
He closed himself in after that and started down a dangerous road, but a bright spot was found... Miriam
