Lumaria Folkvadr

No one is truly certain of Lumaria's parentage, as it goes on to say that he was simply found within the forestry of Domhan Tir. He was actually found by one of the many humans who reside within the village of Down Hollow, a small place which was surrounded by an abundance of medicinal herbs a plenty, thus, being a rather prime location for medical assistance. When he was discovered, he had been injured hunters who were seemingly from another country, as he remembered them to be clad in armors made of steel, and weapons that "cut through the air" and "howled like the wind". He had managed to escape, but just barely within an inch of his life.

The one responsible for saving him was a young man who was apparently a young doctor of Down Hollow. Upon seeing him, Lumaria was rather scared, being that Humans were the one who attacked him. But even as he tried to muster the strength to run, there was nothing he could do. Nowhere he could go. He would have died right then and there, if the man had not taken him into his arms and rushed back to his home, cradling his small kit form in his arms. Once there, he at first tried to ward the man off with a weak growl, only to be defeated by a kind, warm smile, followed by a large hand petting over his small form. there wasn't much he could do, being in such a state. He would close his eyes and let the man go to work, drifting off into a peaceful darkness.

The next day after, he would awaken, finding himself having slept rather peacefully on a small, plush pillow. The man who cared for him was there to greet him, even bringing him fruit to feed upon. He was still skeptical at first, but Lumaria ate it without question after one bite, mewling happily to the man who continued to treat him like he had already been a beloved pet of his. he was technically bed-ridden for a while, but seeing as the man was a doctor, it allowed him to drink in some rather valuable knowledge in the arts of medicinal healing. Ranging from herbs and flowers, to tree bark and sap, even fruits, vegetables, and sometimes blood of certain creatures. It was a whole other wonder in itself to see such a thing that helped Humans and animals alike to persevere life's relentless trials.

A week had passed, and Lumaria was finally fully healed, the man giving him the same kind, warm smile he had during his time staying there. But as he ushered to let him back into the wild, Lumaria instead chose this time to surprise the man with a gift of his own in return for his generosity and kindness. He took on his original human form, already upon the man who was as red as a beet at this point. Who wouldn't be when they suddenly have an effeminate, and incredibly beautiful young man upon them? "Thank you, sir, for your kindness. I don't have much to repay you with, but I have an idea of what you may like.." Those were the words he spoke before their lips finally connected, spending a very long time together that day, engaging in an act where surely for most people was a sacred act of intimacy that was shared between those with a strong emotional bond. That was a bond that Lumaria felt for this man for giving him such care. 

It didn't take much to imagine how things turned out. They had made love together, and perhaps for the first time for both of them, they had come across someone who had changed their life forever. For a year, Lumaria had spent his days with the doctor, learning of his methods and engraving them within his heart, memorizing all of the herbs that could do good or do harm to the Human body, even medicines that could aid animals as well. For a time, they lived together happily, the man teaching Lumaria of the many ways of medicine that could save a life, while Lumaria lived happily with him for a year, taking in all of the good and the bad. 

The natural question of Lumaria's origin came into question, though, there were problems with getting any answers for that. Lumaria, as fate would have it, turned out to be an amnesiac who only remembered being on his own before meeting the doctor. It is safe to assume that Lumaria is in fact a human born with a shape-shifting gift, though as to who his parents may be, or any known relatives is a mystery, let alone, what purpose there would be to render him in such a state to begin with. He was being hunted for one reason or another, but to what ends, he did not know.

It was a puzzling factor to learn about Lumaria, Though, discovering that the boy had a tendency to fall into "heat" during the spring and summer was a slightly bigger shock than anything else. not to say that it was all bad, if you wish to view it as such. the two of them had come to live quite happily together. until he felt something.. unsettling in the air.

He wasn't certain, but he thought that he heard something calling to him. A voice crying out for help. One that was distant, yet felt so familiar to him. He didn't know why, but he wanted to leave to find answer. He needed to do this. He had to do this. Parting did not come without sorrows, as he and the man had become so intimately close, like lovers being torn apart and never to be seen again. Lumaria made a vow that he would return home safely in one piece, though, in his heart, he was not certain he could actually keep such a promise.

so with a faint smile and a heavy heart, he departed from Down Hollow, leaving behind the one he could call his first love, as well as the villagers he had come to know and love as his family. he would remember the days so fondly - assisting the elderly couple in their gardening, healing the young men who would hunt to provide for their families, the women who oft played dress-up with him, and the children who were like his younger siblings. And most importantly of all, he would never forget the doctor who showed him such warm, tender kindness.. the man who could easily say he had fallen in love with.. only to depart, and perhaps never see again..

and so began his journey into the world outside of the domain of Domahn Tir. May Orik's blessings always shine upon him...
