WordCounter Changeling Story

1st March, 1975.
Hans was born at 10:01 in Bispebjerg hospital in Copenhagen, a little Scandinavian baby with blonde hair and green eyes. He was raised in a small village in the countryside due to his father's obstinacy to continue the legacy of his ancestors. When he grew up, he was sent to the local school in the city nearby. The physical talents of Hans were incredibly noticeable since a very young age, he was rocking the sport class time after time, leading him to become the captain of the team. However, unfortunately, he was not the best when it came down to the other classes. The teachers said he was "too busy dreaming, staring blankly, and playing with imaginary friends rather than listening and participating". Needlessly to say, that was the very beginning of Hans' chrysalis, his fae soul began to awake. His parents picked up on the tidings from school and decided to get him some help by sending him to the local psychiatrist. There, he was fed Banality with a spoon, the psychiatrist tried all he could in order to help the little boy to think rationally, and he "rocked" it. Hans was indeed thinking rationally, but he came with an unexpected conclusion, "Why would they try to stop me? I enjoy it... If being "normal" is being so boring, who would even want to be normal?". This kind of mindset kept him on the right track, spitting the pills when his parents were not looking and slowly forging his way to the Dream Dance. When the time has come, he was definitely overwhelmed as his whole world changed in a single moment. Memories from the past, seeing himself for the first time, and even some clues for the future appeared at once. The Glamour burst attracted the attention of the fae across all over the island, leading them to assist the newly awakened soul. He was taken to a small camp in the forest, located right next to a turbulent waterfall where a balefire kept the environment warm. There, He was given the very basics of the fae society, until the nobility found and assigned a Troll that would fit to foster him. Her name was Johanna, she was gorgeous, yet intimidating in size and physics. Her eyes were shining like sparkling diamonds, and her horns gave the sensation of unshakeable wrath. An Oath of Fosterage has been made in order to link between the two, it was the very first Oath of Hans, which had a massive impact on his world view and his future decisions. He was guided to follow the Nobel ways of the Trolls; loyalty, evaluation of your own word, and sticking to your duties. Oath is the strongest bond you could have, if that means nothing to you are nothing but an empty shell. While this is all nobel and nice, she also taught him to never be fooled by love and to beware when giving your word. Many wouldn't resist to take advantage of the unshakeable loyalty of a Troll after all, and when you do break your word, you lose your strength on top of your ruined reputation. Thus, investigate and learn the very truth of the ones you seal your Oaths with, on top of that, when you do swear an Oath, make sure it would well-benefit you. One year and a day later, after excessive mentoring and watching, Hans was finally ready to blend in the fae society. He swore an Oath of Fealty to Johanna as a mark of honor and admiration to her fosterage [size=2](and for further mentorship)[/size], on top of that he kept following her ways by swearing the Oath of Adoption to House Varich, serving and adhering to their code in pride. Time passed by and Hans realized that maintaining the balance between mortal family life and being a fae is no easy task. Especially not when his chimerical seeming started to slip into the autumn world, he slowly grew to inhuman size, and his green eyes got an Emerald pitch. He had to move out, but he didn't have enough money. He contacted Johanna, asking for her advice. Apparently she was planning to move out of the country, moving to a small town in the US, right next to the location of Varich himself (San Fransisco/Fierro). She offered him to join her, if he thinks he could handle himself alone without the support of his parents of course. One way or another, it was a better option to move with her rather than staying alone somewhere in Europe. He packed his stuff, and so beings the story of Hans...
