Drone Nicken

Character: Drone Nicken
Player: Shilo TelvaThe group of Kelemvorite Monks hurried through the driving rain, ignoring the flashes of lightning and the rumbles of thunder. They only needed another hour to reach the monastary. They had been on the road for two months and looked forward to a warm meal with their friends.
Suddenly, in the road ahead, they saw the burntout husk of a farm cart. It was surrounded by the bodies of what at first, they thought were children. But instead they were the small corpses of a family of Hin's. Unusual for the fact that there were no Hin villages any where near these mountains. The monks began to attend to their duties, caring for the small bodies to insure they were ready to meet their Lord.
One of the monks called out, "A child lives!" The monks clustered around, this being the first live Hin many had ever seen. he was only about three years old, and as small as a cat. One of the monks, a woman named Clarisse, said" We can not leave him, perhaps some of his family will come and claim him. We will care for him till then."
That was 17 years ago, and sometimes the monks regretted their decision almost daily. You see Drone,(that is what they named him) never seemed to understand that a monastary was aplace of silence. A place for the quiet contemplation of their God. Even though he was raised by them, he still displayed that unquenchable curiousity and bubbly nature of his race. This does not mean he did not respect and worship Kelemvor, far from it. He just insisted on folowing the Lord of the Dead in his own way.
Finally the wanderlust of his race kicked in, and with a small sigh of relief the Monks watched him go. He went towards the north and east, looking for others of his kind, and who knows what he will find.
