Legends of Belariath

Somali Longtail

Life for me began 45 years ago in the small town of Mak'ala.I was the only child of Zatec and Aderis. They were a well known couple in the samll town and they helped out where ever they could. Life was easy going and not too taxing in the town. Everyone felt safe and scure within it's limts. I grew up living a very peacefull life making freinds helping around the town in small jobs...delivering bread..and other things, cleaning the stables. Life was great till the day the dark wizard Rasputin came to our little town. I was in my late teens when he came to our town. When he saw me he took an interest in me...and it wasn't to be his student. He tried to make a deal to my parents to buy me but they refused...this infuritaed him and he grabed me and teleported himself and me to his castle far away.

Once there he tried to mate with me but I fought him off. This pissed him off even more and he used his powers to transform me. His magic flowed though me and I blacked out. The next morning I woke and felt strange. I stumbled out of bed and crawled to a mirror and screamed as I looked at myself. He made me a taur...I cried as I saw myself. I knew tuars were not that agile and a bit clumsy at time. I tried to stand and found it hard and fell back to the floor. Just then the wizard entered and chuckled as he saw me. "Now you will serve me till I grow tired of you" he chuckled. I sighed as I heard this and submited to his wishes.

He kept me with him for the next ten years as his slave...both in sex and in labor. I helped him fetch items for his spells and wood for the fire. He worked me hard and when ever the earge took him he came over and had his way with me. This made me feel so degraded. Then one day he came to me and told me that I no longer interested him anymore and that I was to leave his place. I sighed more for releaf than anything...at last I was free from him and his eruges. He told me as I left that I would remain a taur till he died. This made me feel down as I paded away...I knew wizards lived a long time...and that I would be suck like this till most likely till I died.

Over the years I paded from town to town doing small jobs to get food and drink..as well as places to sleep the night. One day I met a good wizard and he saw how down I was and took me in. I did small jobs around his place and the one good thing I liked about him is that he didn't use me for sex...instead he taught me how to fight and use sword..bows and other weapons. He made me feel like I was a someone. He treated me very kindly and with respect. I enjoyed being in his employ...and was saddend on the day that he passed away. That day I left with a heavy heart after a burred him. I wandered for a few years after that till the day I came apon the Inn in the Belariath. I entered and saw all maners of beasts within and deciced to stay.
