Now where do I begin? Well, I guess I should start with my beginning.

I was born in Meridell. I had a pretty decent life, all in all. My father was one of King Skarl's soldiers, and sometimes he would even take me to see the king himself. (He's actually a lot nicer than he looks.)

My mother made a living by working at Merifoods (This was before that meerca showed up). She was a really good cook, but she refused to sell any draik eggs.

So, I guess you're wondering how any of this connects to my love for music. I'm getting to that.

When I was a little kid, probably around seven or eight, my father got me a harmonica for my birthday. I enjoyed the lovely sounds it made when I blew air through the little holes. I practiced every day, and I got better each time. When I played my harmonica in front of King Skarl, he enjoyed it so much that he said I could come back and play any time.

Everything was great...until the war...

My father told me that he had to go away for a while. He also said that what he needed to do was for the good of Meridell.

A few days after he left, that was when Meridell was invaded. My mother and I ran towards our home to take shelter from the fighting. But that was when Darigan Citadel sent a nova shower.

."Ooohh...pretty!". I exclaimed. Sensing danger, my mother shouted ."RUN, DRAGON! RUN AWAY FROM THE SHOWER!!".

I continued running, but then I tripped and fell down on my face. Desperate, my mother made the ultimate sacrifice: with her own body, she shielded me from the shower.

**********

I don't really remember what happened right after that. I must have fainted or somethin'. But when I woke up, I was horrified at what I saw. My mother was badly burned from the shower. She was still breathing, but barely. I looked around and I saw that several other pets had suffered the same fate. Most of them were dead.

."Dragon...". My mother groaned. I frantically looked around, then I found some rags which I used to bandage her wounds. Then I dragged her towards our home, which was damaged from the shower.

It wasn't completely destroyed, though. But there was a big gaping hole in the roof, which looked like it would soon cave in. But I didn't care, as long as it was still there.

."Wait here, mother.". I told her. ."I'll go see if I can find some dinner. She looked at me and whispered ."...Thank...you.". Then she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

But she never woke up.

After my mother died, her body was cremated. I then gathered up her ashes and took them into the woods to bury them. She said that when she was young, she always loved to go play in there, and sometimes she would take me there on nature hikes. I figured that it would be a suitable place for her to rest in peace.

I marked her grave with a large stone and some flowers. On the stone I etched these words:

My dear mother,
Rest in peace.
~Your son, Dragon.

After that, I went back to my house. On the way, I overheard some people saying that some soldiers had died in battle, one of which was a blue zafara. Upon hearing these words, I cried out ."Now my dad's gone too?!".

When I finally got to my house, I gathered a couple of things: My father's favorite scarf, my mother's favorite bandana, my Turmac Bank which contained all of my savings, and an old photo of my parents. Then I walked out the door, never looking back once.

And my timing couldn't have been more perfect. Because moments after I walked out of the house, I heard the roof finally collapse.

After that, I decided to take a boat away from Meridell. That boat took me to Tyrannia. I immediately felt right at home there, thanks to the Concert Hall.

I earn neopoints for concert tickets by working at Tyrannian Foods (I guess I inherited some of my mother's cooking skills) as well as playing a couple of games. I can't say for certain which band I like best. I think they're all awesome. I went to the Concert Hall whenever I got the chance and I kept every souvenier I recieved.
