History:
Torque was born into the cold winters night. It was one of the coldest the herd had seen in years. His birth was not easy either, thus resulting in the death of his mother during birth. The only reason Torque was able to survive was his loving auntie took over and nursed him and helped him grow into the strong stag he is today. Torque never knew his father although he had his suspicions of herd stags. He loves his Auntie as if she is his mother and treats her with the respect she deserves. Growing up Torque would constantly find his way out of bounds and in trouble. Curious by nature, he would roam the edge of the herds territory finding himself lots to discover. Once when he was a young fawnling, he tripped and fell down a hill on the south end of the territory. After exploring for what must have been a quarter of the day, he found himself face to face with the largest wolf he had ever seen in his short young life. The wolf glared down at Torque and licked his chops, threw his head back and just as he was about to chomp down, A blur of black and gold fur passed before his eyes. Torque ran for cover and heard the yelps of the wolf, followed by the sound of thrashing hooves. Torque looked up to the unknown stag from then on and hoped to become as brave as he was someday. The events of his young hood have helped shaped Torque into the stag he is today.

Story:
*huff*huff* Torque stopped his gallop to take a moment and catch his breath. He stopped to listen to the foot steps around him. "Where did he go?!" Torque thought.. "I could have sworn he went that way" He motioned his head to the brightly light pathway... Yet he knew that was the wrong way. "It sounds like he went that way" He looked in the direction of the darker, fuller path. That path had been known to scare the young fawnlings as they saw glowing eyes.

Torque sighed and off he went. He listened for the hooves of the young fawnling he was following. He caught a glimpse of him ahead. "Son!" He yelled. "Come on! I'm not going to hurt you! I'm just trying to help!". Torque was sent after a young fawnling who had been frightened and attempted to run away. Young fawnlings always getting into trouble.. Torque knew that lifestyle far to well. He continued after the young frightened fawnling, getting frustrated as the evenings sun was starting to go away. It made the forest much darker and much more erie. Torque was not afraid, but this young fawnling was only going deeper into the bush of the forest and was going to get lost. Torque sped up and saw the fawnling run under a log to hide from something. "Hey kid! I'm here to help!" Torque said to the scared fawnling. "No you're not! You're the one who has been chasing me! You're not even a fawnling!" Screamed the kid from under the log and rocks. 'huh' torque thought. At that moment as the sun was setting, it shined through the forest one last time and he saw his shadow on a rock in front of him. After all the running through the bush, his body was covered in mud, sticks and leaves. "Oh no.. The kid think's im the thing!" Torque thought. He smiled to himself and had a chuckle at the thought of himself being the scariest camp fire tale. "Okay, Stay here the night, and I'll be right over here. In the morning you can see I'm not what you think I am and we can get you back to safety!" Torque said to the frightened boy. "Okay.." Said the boy. Torque took this approval like a grain of salt. He knew all too well kids will say whatever they think you want them to say. Torque found a near by pool of water and took the opportunity to clean himself up. He had to look presentable for the mornings return. He found some leaves and a clean spot of grass and called it a night.

The night was long and cold. He could hear the fawnling whimpering and could see him shivering. "If you come out, I'll be able to keep you safe and warm, I promise" Torque motioned to the boy. He could hear the bush rustle and could see the fawnlings eyes on him. "You see, I'm just like you. I promise!" Torque smiled to the young lad. "Okay.. but you come here" The young fawnling said. Torque got up from his spot of grass, that was now moist with the morning dew He walked over to the log where the boy was hiding. The fawnling looked Torque up and down and smiled. Torque returned the smile "You see?" The fawnling made room for Torque to lay down and almost immediately the fawnling nestled into his mane. Torque nestled the young fawnling back and showed him how to keep himself warm the easiest. The fawnling was finally able to fall asleep. Torque watched the young fawn sleep with a smile and eventually dozed off himself.

The sun rose through the forest and gave everything the most beautiful glow. The morning du glistened on the rocks. The birds chirped and all the animals arose from the dark of the night. Torque was up long before the boy. He had prepared a light snack from what he could find and brought it over to the sleeping fawn. "Morning kiddo" Torque smiled. The young fawn looked up at him and smiled back. He inhaled his snack and immediatly looked for more. "is that it?!" he said. "Yes, we'll be on our way home now, hopefully we will find more" Torque motioned to the path. "So what's your name anyway kid?" Torque questioned. "My name is Ludo" smiled the fawn. "Nice to meet you Ludo, I'm Torque" They clashed their hooves together to symbolize an even friendship. "well what do you say Ludo.. Time to get back to your worried parents?" Torque advised. "Yes, sounds right to me!" Ludo leaped for joy. The two set off on the path and traveled in the direction they had came from.

A few hours had passed and the duo were finally back to ludo's parents. "MOMMY! DADDY!" Ludo screamed with joy and ran to his parents. "Thank goodness you're safe, Ludo! We were worried sick!" his mother gave him a nuzzle and a kiss. His father smiled at Ludo. "Torque I want to thank you for getting my boy back. With everything that is going on here, i would have never been able to leave" the father looked back to his very pregnant wife. "Don't worry about it" Smiled Torque "I know what being an adventures kid is all about, I had a blast getting to know Ludo!" He looked in Ludo's direction. "Anyway, I have to get back to my own now" Torque motioned to the path "Ludo it was a pleasure to meet you! I hope to see you around again" Torque and Ludo clopped their hooves together.

With that, Torque turned and trotted back into the forest. He spent his travels remember his adventures as a kid and smiled at the thought of the stag who once saved him. With that moment, the sun broke through the leaves and shined in the direction of home. Torque paused, took in the beautiful forest in front of him, and trotted in the direction the sun was pointing.


Use: RPing in the western isles. Torque is a rouge so he travels quite a bit. Never really staying in one place but perhaps he settles down in the future
