His mother didn't have a job, she spent all her time taking care of Markain and his older brother. She was very motherly, putting their needs in front of her own. His father was a petty cobbler, spending his time fixing and making shoes for anybody who needed his services. Markain was very close to his brother, Jacob. They were like two peas in a pod. They were almost clones in some ways, but in other ways they were exactly opposites. Markain and Jacob were as close as can be. A lot of times, Markain would look up to him as a role model. A lot of what Markain was, was based on what his brother was like. Markain's parents weren't the best in financial terms. They barely made enough money to live on. A simple cobbler couldn't support 4 people. Markain and his brother did their part. Sometimes they would help people around Syliras with tasks that needed to be done. Sometimes that wasn't enough. Markain was not above begging to help his family. Markain got a simple enough education, it wasn't the best but it was one that taught him basic things he would need to know. Markain seemed to grow up slowly, the years barely passing by. Jacob was older than Markain, as he was still growing up he was getting jobs. Jacob became a hunter. He would spend days in the wilds and come back with a dear, or something equally large. Markain missed the presence of his brother, he was used to having him always right beside him. Markain eventually grew up. He became a man, he could really help with the family. But that didn't happen. Markain once spent a long time in the market square, desperately trying to find a job where he could make some money to help his family. Hours passed quickly, the time just flew by. Then, he saw her. He saw a woman by the name of Serina. It was love at first sight. It was the same story for both of them. They seemed destined for each other, they were each other's soul mate. Markain and Serina seemed to have really hit off because the very next day the were dating. Markain's parents were happy that Markain had found a nice woman. Jacob, his older brother, was proud of him. He felt he was maturing, he was thinking of him now as a man not as his little brother. It was not the same story for Serina's parents. Serina's mother died, she was taken care of by her father. He was disgusted that she loved a commoner, he had planned to marry her off to some rich noble. Serina's father was a "business man" of sorts. Some of his activities, weren't entirely good in moral standards. He was a criminal, he had made money through actions which most people would be disgusted by. He didn't care, it filled their bellies and then some. He kept this life style throughout his entire life. No one really knows how Serina's mother died. They had been dating for months, and then one day Markain had the courage to pop the question. He was very lucky when he got the ring. He told his brother about this and well, he had made some extra money and he finally found a good place to put it in. His brother bought him the ring and for that Markain is grateful. Serina happily agreed, she was ready to spend the rest of her life with Markain. Serina's father was enraged. He was not going to give his daughter to this commoner. He had come up with a plan, a plan to make sure Markain wouldn't marry Serina. He thought a perfect plan, he had no problem executing it, most people couldn't think about doing this, but Serina's father was no like most people. Serina's father asked Markain a favor. He told about a pendant from Serina's mother that was taken by bandits. He was going to find it, but he wanted some extra help so he asked Markain to come along. Markain knew that Serina didn't have a mother, he thought this would mean a lot to her. He agreed, oblivious to what his real intentions were. Markain and his soon to be father in law went to the wilds to try and find this pendant. They found no problems for a while, just wandering around and enjoying the wilds. Then, when Markain least expected it he was murdered. HIs soon to be father in law turned his blade on him and killed him in the wilds. And ever since no one except Markain and Serina's father knew what happened there. Serina's dad made a convincing lie, saying Markain went alone and was killed by bandits. Serina and Markain's parents believed this. They had a funeral for him and grieved over the loss. But Jacob was suspicious. He knew Markain would not go alone in the wilds, he didn't even know how to handle a weapon! Markain had became a ghost and devoted every second of his time to tell the truth and avenge his death. But Serina's father suspected this. He has got special weapons intended to harm ghosts. He hired some men and briefed them and what the situation was. Markain once tried to avenge his death but was harmed and almost killed. He had spent years, making sure he could do this. He tried to make himself powerful enough to find a way to kill Serina's father. He had spent 9 years doing this! Never once did he go into Slyiras.Markain was oblivious as to what was happened during the years. Serina has now remarried to a knight from a rich family, she was forced into this marriage. She never wanted to love someone else after Markain but her father forced her into this marriage. Markain's parents moved on and are oblivious as to what really happened. Jacob is trying to investigate the death of his brother, he knew something was wrong, and he won't stop until he finds out what it is.
