Legends of Belariath

Imp

Birth was like any other nixie one day he wasn't then he was.. He was a cheerful friendly lot, infact he lacked most common of sense, avoiding the bigg'um being one of them. it was a kindly looking old woman that was the danger he should have avoided. Imp had no clue at the time she could be anything but kind. He spent day talking to her and eventually admitted to being a nixie. The woman used magics, captured the Nixie. She believed that Nixie's and Pixie's Dust held great power in it, she beat Imp mercilessly, forcing him to change and get big once more. Over and over trying to collect as much dust as possible. Durring this time Imp became distant and dark, his moods changed drastically, no longer was he care free and happy. Over time the nixie learned what he could till he finally was able to surprise his captor. The Fire that started was not his fault, and thew woman he believed died within the flames.

His hand stained with the possible death of the woman, Imp sank into madness, He needed to keep people and even his own kind at a distance, and to do it Imp made himself into a Prince, Lofty and lord of His people, it was genius and insanity. And his mind bought into it fully, he traveled seeking a kingdom or Empire in which he could claim to conquer, when he made his home within the rafters of the inn. Imp hide in his small form, it was safer to deal with the bigg'ums in this size he could fly away and they couldn't touch him. Durring this time his Madness deepened and darkened, He claimed things that no Nixie could, killing, or death. No it took time for that illusion be shattered it only happened when Raphaelwyn, took him. Now the nixie is rebuilding his past, the scars he hid, are now seen by those that touch him. but Imp still hasn't accepted them.
