"When the darkest day has come and the Dark Ireland is on the edge of victory, a soul will be freed, and The Lost Prince shall be Reborn"
Flynn Mac Airt was born of two of the strongest powers the world had ever known. Cormac Mac Airt, the Wolfking, was his father, Christiana Bronte, The Lady tears, was his mother. Christiana left Cormac when Flynn was but a young child and his father, not wanting Flynn to be raised wrong, sent Flynn to be raised by the Druids of Tara. The druids taught Flynn many things, how to become a warrior, the ways of sorcery and magic, and the way of his brothers, the wolves. Upon his 16th birthday, Flynn came back to Tara and headed the warrior force known as the Fiana
The mists had gotten thicker then any of the High Council had ever seen before. Some had said that the mists were the sign that the Dark Ireland had advanced and soon they would be knocking on the Bright Palace's gates. Cormac knew that the war would soon come to a conclusion but he did not know what that conclusion would be. Regardless of what was on the horizon the High King would not allow it to damper the celebration of his son's 22 birthday. The Wolfline was a proud bunch, some said arrogant, but they were good leaders. The celebration continued until the drums were heard at Tara's gate. They all knew what the drums were, but were unprepared. In a frenzy of shouting the warriors in the palace took up arms and rushed the gates trying to keep the dark creatures at bay. The bloodiest battle in Tara's history had commenced and the wolfline was on the losing end. Tara was burnt to the ground, most of the warriors destroyed or taken as prisoners. With the last of his strength Cormac Mac Airt, the High King of Tara, and his son, Flynn Mac Airt, Prince of Tara, managed to destroy the four ring leaders of the Dark Ireland. Medoc the demon, Morrigan the Sorceress, Scald Crow the Shapeshifter and Macha the Mother of Monsters. That is when the forces of the Dark Ireland attacked full force and killed Cormac and Flynn. Cormac was turned into a vampire, but that is another story. Flynn's body was lifeless and his soul journied past the crystal palaces of the Sidh and into the underworld.
Flynn's soul was tormented with agony and pain. Pain for the loss of his father, his kingdom, his life. The demons of the Dark Ireland that controlled the underworld tortured the soul of the prince, but Flynn did not falter, he remained strong through it all, vowing that one day he would be free.
A millenium later that day would come. The Dark Ireland had risen again and were threatening the Wolfline once more. It was the Wolfblood's darkest hour and Cormac Mac Airt was in jeopardy. The prophecy was slowly taking root, the Dark Ireland had risen and were threatening to destroy the last remaining legacy of Tara.
The chains that bound Flynn grew weak, weak enough for Flynn to snap them. He had heard the call. Necromancy was growing strong on the surface world once again and his family was in trouble. He fought through the demons that tried to keep him at bay and found his way back to his body. The crypt his body was stored in erupted in flames, and out fo the fire came the Lost Prince, no longer simply one of the wolfblood but an abomination, vampire and shifter. Flynn Mac Airt reborn.
Upon his return the Sidh also returned and played their enchanting music, announcing to the world that the true Wolfprince had returned. Flynn soon discovered that the Sidh had bestowed a gift upon him, the abilty to summon them at will, and the ability to use their mists as a way to return to Tara whenever he chose.
Chose is what Flynn did. When Flynn awoke Tara was nothing but a burnt up shell of its former self, nothing but ruins. Flynn summoned all the magic he had posessed, calling upon his wolves with the Samhilt. The wolves appeared, but to Flynn's surprise something else showed up, more members of the bloodline, who also appeared when the darkness got thick. Flynn's uncles, Cait of the panthers and Conaire of the eagles, as well as his cousin, Medoc of the lions. They all joined forces and Tara was reborn, with Flynn as the new wolfking.
Although Tara was reborn the nightmares began to haunt Flynn. Nightmares of the past, of the dark war, of his darkest foes. Flynn knew this was a sign of things to come, come for him and the rest of the bloodline. Flynn had to do something, so he called upon the sidh, and left the throne of Tara to track down the orign of the darkness, the Sidh taking him to where they wanted, transporting him to various diffrent kingdoms and locations. Soon enough Flynn found himself in a realm with another problem, he had fallen in love. A beautiful elf named Ehiela had struck his attention and he longed to be with her. So Flynn made the hardest decision of his life, he handed the throne of tara to Conaire of the eagles and settled within the realm, where he developed his pack, and mated to the elf.
