Danmyllion

🦋 Background:

Danmyllion was born in Monslire, the largest and busiest port city in the Kingdom of Syrbelle.
Danmyllion's mother was a sweet and innocent mermaid who had fallen madly in love with a handsome sailor. She followed him blindly, unaware that her beloved would sell her for a large sum of gold to a nobleman, Duke Charles Orleans. The Duke kept the mermaid captive as his pet and lover, regardless of the fact that he already had a wife, Duchess Roxana, and an heir on the way. And shortly after, Danmyllion was born as the Duke's illegitimate son. Danmyllion had inherited his mother's beautiful appearance and therefore stood out a lot, something that the Duchess did not like, seeing that her own son was overshadowed and compared to the son of a vulgar mistress. The Duchess, full of jealousy and resentment, ended up poisoning Danmyllion and his mother. Danmyllion managed to survive, but his mother died from the poison. The Duke did not impose any punishment on his wife and sent Danmyllion away so that the Duchess could not finish killing him, since the Duke considered that Danmyllion could still be useful.

Danmyllion was sent to the Tower of Mages in the Kingdom of RobelWych, along with his uncle Ernesto Orleans, the Duke's younger brother. Ernesto was in charge of teaching and guiding the young talents who entered the Tower to become great mages, and he was also an assistant to the Leader of the Tower, the Great Mage Aurelius Sheardry. At first, Danmyllion served his uncle as his "assistant", although it was more like his personal servant, ordering him to wash his clothes, clean his room, shine his shoes, and carry his things wherever he went, like a trained dog. Due to the abuse and constant mockery of the apprentices, Danmyllion became unfriendly, grumpy, and very cold, feeling hatred and rejection towards everyone. Danmyllion never responded to the taunts or insults for fear of being punished, although inside he harbored great fury, fury that he used to vent in secret. Danmyllion was an extremely intelligent person, capable of memorizing any formula or spell just by seeing it once. In addition, he possessed a huge amount of Magic due to the Mermaid blood he had inherited from his mother.

The Great Mage Aurelius noticed Danmyllion's hidden talent and decided to make him his disciple, provoking the envy of the other apprentices and the fury of his uncle. Ernesto had asked Aurelius on more than one occasion to accept him as a disciple, but Aurelius refused. Danmyllion began to learn magic and alchemy with his new master. Aurelius had a very playful and friendly personality, always making fun of Danmyllion and playing jokes on him, which made them very close. Although Aurelius was over 100 years old, his appearance was that of a young man of about 27. This was due to the magic and the great power he possessed. Danmyllion calls him "old man" to annoy him and sometimes "master", because although he doesn't show it, Danmyllion respects and appreciates him very much.

In one of the annual festivals of the Kingdom of RobelWych, the Mage Tower was going to offer a magic show to entertain the King and the citizens. Danmyllion was entrusted with the task, at the suggestion of his uncle Ernesto. But during the performance, the magical tools used by the apprentices began to fail, getting out of control and causing a massive discharge of mana, which resulted in a wave of injured and even dead. Danmyllion was arrested for having created the magical artifacts. The King wanted to order his execution, but thanks to the intervention of Aurelius, Danmyllion was only exiled to the outskirts of the Kingdom.
