Short Bio:

After the primal wars were over all Derek had left was what he was wearing. His heart and soul were destroyed and he became a soulless wanderer. He lived in far off places away from humankind, for humans had taken from him his family, his home, his life. Once a simple farmer, he learned the skill of the wild. He began to understand and commune with nature and he became one with the animals. He felt a yearning inside; something was pushing him. He learned the ways of the spirits, learned how to hunt to survive and learned how to disappear and not be seen. In one of his deapest depressed states he had a vision. This vision was that of a talking tree; at first he refused to believe it. He rubbed his eyes until they bled, but the tree was still mumbling. There seemed to appear a vision of a beautiful woman, and he asked shaking, in a sheepish voice, "Who are you?." In his astonishment the tree answered back, why "I'm Melandru, the G-ddess of earth and nature, You have tended my creatures well." Derek almost fainted, while she continued, "There is much trouble in the Land. Tyria is dying and with them what you have grown to love and know." Derek was frozen in place but managed to utter some words, "What can I, a mere mortal, do?" She answered "Will you serve me?" Somehow deep inside Derek knew what he had to say, his strengh seemed to come back to him as he heard the voice from within, "I will serve you until I perish." Melandru answered, "protect my sheep. I will give you all you need, a pet, a magical bow, and strengh and endurance to overcome all obstacles in your path. Will you trust me?" Derek said, "Yes, I will trust and obey. Where do you want me begin this quest?" She said, "Follow your heart, listen to the inner voice, it is there you will find me, find the peace you are seeking. Travel the earth and stand for those who can't stand for themselves, fight for the unification of our world. Know you are fighting a righteous battle and you will be victorious." With that the vision and Derek's depression lifted and he stood tall once again, for he now knew what he was called to be and do. He had made the connection within himself and was complete. It was on to Ascalon, it is there he would find the next step in his new journey. The rest, as it is said is history. Derek has become a mighty fighter, a Ranger that is comforable with his bow from a distance or close up. His pet travels where ever he goes forever seeking the next challenge, the next battle, the next victory, until one day his job will be completed and he will return in glory to his ancestors.
