Wesley was a gifted Swordmaster, a lone warrior of high reputation. He travelled the world and loaned out his services to those he deemed worthy of them. When a handsome young man of twenty with dark copper waves and ebony eyes, he ventured to the capital where he enjoyed a few rounds of sparring with some of the knights there. Their commander was so impressed with his skill that he requested that Wes join the ranks. Wesley had no desire to get tangled up in an order, so he declined. However, he did agree to come and assist with the garrison in Meadowood.
Once in Meadowood, he met Eridon Maichen at the Solstice festival. Eridon agreed to teach him some new tricks with a crossbow, and invited him over for dinner the next day. That's when Jane met him. He took a shine to her immediately. He enjoyed her spirit, and her unique personality. He saw within her something great that he could nurture and cause to grow. She would be his legacy.
Wesley taught Jane how to fight. He discovered her flaws in such areas as hand to hand combat and wrestling, but she was quick, and a natural talent with a blade. They shared a bond and closeness that is rare, and the two made each other happy, filling some empty part in them both. Slowly Wesley's affections grew beyond a friendship. In Jane he saw his ideal, the other half to make his skill and self perfect. He wanted to take care of her so they could be one, and he saw his chance to present these feelings when she needed him most. Permission was granted by Eridon, and Wesley asked for Jane's hand. The wedding was planned.
The day of the wedding, things went horribly wrong however. Off his guard due to the happy occasion, Wesley was struck down by archers. |
