Character Stories: Aaron Thattchir Part Four (Updated)

Upon the casting of the spell, they were teleported to the central room of the Fortress of Mirrors. A massive stone fortress filled with rooms, each housing a crystal mirror. The group split up and went searching for a room. Upon finding a room they played rock paper scissors for whose room they would enter. Noodle won and they went to the room she chose, entering the mirror. They would arrive on the world of Creatius, in the city of Kievan, the capital city of the Lithvanian Empire.

Being foreigners and due to their policies, these strange characters are stripped of their weapons and sent to be laborers on the colony of Raemia where they labor alongside a man named Asmund, a member of the Oorang Tribe who agrees to help them escape. Upon their daring escape from the colony and their long journey along the grand river, they finally reach a village where a shaman makes his home. The shaman explains to them of the plight of the Lithvanian Empire, and how they took an ancient temple to their gods built into a cliff and made it into a fortress.

The shaman meets with Aaron personally that night and talks to him. He gives him a tea used by the shamans to help see into the hearts of people and explains how Aaron feels resentment towards his father and that Aaron should let go and try to make amends. Aaron, being the stubborn man he is, gets enraged at the shaman, calling him an:

"Ignorant tea drinker"

Rather than get enraged with Aaron, the shaman forgives him for his actions and retreats to his bed, but before he goes he says:

"There is anger in your heart Aaron, don't let it shrowd the truth inside of you"

Now I should mention that at this point, he was only known as the Ghost of Mississippi, or Ghost by his little group of acquaintances. Aaron goes to the home set up by the villagers for his group, his past heavy on his heart he finds trouble sleeping. He goes to a cliff at the edge of the village, staring at the rolling river below him, drinking from a flask of liquor that the soldiers were unable to take from him. Fluttershy, who is also unable to sleep finds him and sits with him.

She asks him why he's sitting alone. He begins speaking of his past and shows her the tattoo of a cobra, now crossed out with two lightning bolts. Upon showing her that he hands her the flask of liquor telling her to drink from it. After she drank from it and nearly threw up he spoke yet again. He told her about Aluka and how a Dybbuk possessed her and how he was forced to kill her. She grabbed the flask again and drank from it.

She explained how she was secretly a werewolf and had been trying to control her powers and embrace the spirit of Ze'ev, but had failed time and time again. Aaron reached into his pocket and pulled out a small medal, depicting Robert E. Lee, he explained that it was his father's that, he stole it from him before leaving his family and kept it to remember his past. He anded to her and said:

"Keep it, I don't know why but I trust you enough to hold onto it" she took it

After their conversation, they sat and waited as the sun rose and greeted the day. On that day they would plan an attack on the taken temple. The tribe had basic firearms made of bones and primitive gunpowder that fire lead balls. Aaron asked the shaman of other tribes and he was told the nearest tribes were a two days walk away.

Aaron agreed to go, he was gifted with a bone musket, obsidian bladed ax, and food and water rations. He began his long walk through the open planes of the new world, as he drew further and further away he began to have flashbacks of his past, faces of those he'd killed, their horrid cries. He fell to the ground, screaming:

"DEAR SWEET JESUS MAKE THEM STOP"

As tears streamed down his face for the first time in his memory, he fell asleep. He awoke in another village similar to the last one. He awoke to see children and adults alike staring at his strange otherworldly attire. Upon fully waking up he went and searched for the Shaman of the village. He found the shaman and asked him to help the neighboring Oorang Tribe. He agreed and sent men to neighboring tribes, gathering their armies of boar riding cavalry and going to the village.

Upon the arrival, the tribes would unite into the Boar Nation due to their shared boar riding nature. They would gather their weapons and launch an assault on the temple, repelling the Lithvanian troops, leaving behind their advanced rifles and pistols. The tribesmen would gather these weapons and assault the colony of Raemia, kicking the Lithvanians out. Upon the leaving of the Lithvanian, Aaron and the others would hijack a steamship and sail back, regaining their weapons in the process.

Upon returning to Kievan they found a revolt going on within the city, using this to their advantage they invaded the grand palace, killing all of Emporer Killianus Lithvania's men, and the empower himself. They would go beneath the city and discover an amulet that gave Aaron and the others the power to locate Pentonaxtus. They would find out she was hiding out on a world known as Earthius.
