Beinir's origin started in small clan called "Ironfire", that took place near the borders or Fire and Water domain. Even they were a small clan, they were independent and growing in prosperity, full of talented dragons, whose were working mainly as tailors, crafters and blacksmithers. Many clans were making them requests for a work, and so from every family started to travel on of the best and offer his service around the clans nearby, after that they came home with goods, treasure or everything else they earned, that makes them the possibility to offer a new service as merchants.

But as soon as their small clan started their story of little fame, it brought the attention of the darker dragon clans, they started to fasting after their wealth. And so one day, the small clan was attacked, with such a savage force it was carnage, they fought and tried to defend themselfs, but no one of them was a real trained with these skills, because before they lived peacefuly with everyone else around. They have killed all young or matured males in the clan, leaving only females or elders alive, Beinir was young when it happened, and he survived only thanks to his grandfather Gueidar, who hid him in his old and deformated wing, with he was born. The Ironfire clan was then left in ruins of their home, devastated and burned.

Nobody could stay here after everything what has been done, the remains buried their family members there, and left. Beinir buried his father, uncle and his two cousins on the place, where they spend time nice family times with bonfire. He then left with his grandfather and his mother and traveled to clan nearby, where his grandfather has sister, the clan welcomed them with great sorrow, but they make them a new loveful home. However this place was nice, and kind, Beinir's mother wasn't at a really good state since the thing happened, she started to suffer from depresion as neverending grief for his father, but still, Beinir was her hope, and she was rising him up with love, together with her father. They teached him everything that he would know from his father, and so he grew up as natural blacksmither. When he was old enough, they said to him to travel as blacksmither around dragon clans as his father did, but he should accept as payment a teaching of fighting instead of everything else. And so he started travelling as itinerant blacsmither, writing letters and sending packages of everything he can back to his family, to make them know he is safe.

Beinir is a good male, although that he was hit by the history that left in him pessimism and his inner sadness, as he was raised with love he grew into decent and heartfelt dragon, from who you can expect to do the right things with his decissions, he is helpful for the ones that need it, he likes to show that the world can be nice from the ones that you didn't expect to, because at first look and manner he can be seen as serious dragon that don't care about anyone, but when somebody get to know him he is winsome. He can be sometimes kind of hothead when it comes to him, as his mother says this he has from his father.

He hates rogues and other criminals, he still blame them that they can only destroy the only thing that could matter to everyone - the family. However he didn't seek for revenge, cuz' he don't really know who attacked his clan, or who killed his father. He also don't like trickers, but as they doesn't make a treath, he tries to avoid them. On the other side, Beinir loves bards with their music and also other hardworking dragons like builders are or good crafters also. He likes to spend time in the places that are full of life, like the clans he had visited he loved to silently watch everyone how they do they things, dragons working, hatchling playing nearby, elders enjoying the nice day, it fills him with relaxed emotions.

He loves his work, but as he promised, he started to learn how to fight and defend himself by other dragons in places he visited. He doesn't like to fight, but he feels strong as the one who defend others.

The Two sides of Coin_story_Vafri

One day on his travel, he met a small clan, he offered his services, the clan leader has told him that his work would really help, but they have been raided by some bandits and there's nothing for exchange. Beinir looked over the all clan, what is need repairs and then "Well, such a misery, like I have seen before..." he said with sullen face to the leader, "...better I would start right now to be done before sunset." he ended his sentence with a gently smile, the leader was so grateful for his good heart as his good work, even that the clan has only a few food left, they offered him a great meal for such a full day work and also a nice place for night to rest, he couldn't reject it.

In the morning he was ready to leave, the leader however stopped him for a sec, and warned him about the deep jungle that he was heading to, that it is full of these bandits, rogues and murderers, he should avoid it, he promised he will take a good care about himself and continued.

As he continued, not so long time it takes to come by the borders of the dark jungle...it looks really wild and acient. So he lead his way around it, as he goes he then heard a shriek of dragon as he was hitted by something, his guarding instinct forced him to go for it, to the jungle. He entered a small glade, where was standing two dragons and one on the ground, the two were shouting on him and one of them hitted him again. "Hey, over there! Stop it!" he yelled on them, they turned around to look, and he came closer, "Tch, it's nor you bussines, bud." said one, "Yeah, turn around before you will get involved." said another, "I'm afraid I'm already involved if you will continue to beat up that one." he replied with calm vioce, "Naaah, why would you care about such a creep? Last warning for you." one said and walked on the one side, while the other was going on the other side. "...There is always a chance fo getting the thing worse I think, we will see for who." he replied and the fight began. It was kind of quick as the dragons see that a travelling merchant is actually a skilled fighter, they started to retreat, "Fine you rathole! We will find you and your little friend again soon!" shouted one, "Yeah, there is nowhere to hide from us all!" shouted another as they flee.

He then turned on the one still remaining on the ground, "Hey, are you okay?" he asked, the dragon lifted up his head and looked over the place, "They.... are gone?" he asked, "Yes, they are." he replied, "Aw well man!" he then breathed out and lifted up, "thanks for saving my skin. You are such a fighter aren't you, huh? I saw you fight for few moments. You are great." he continued speaking, Beinir looked over him, he was hit into his chest where he had a bruise and then into head, right next to his left eye, but that will leave only a raw, nothing serious, "Well, you still looks horrible, if it's not what you feel." he then said, "Hm? Really? How bad it is?! Will I die?!" the dragon asked urgently, "I'm a blacksmither not a wounder, what can I say? I think you will be ...ehm not dying at least." Beinir replied, "Blacksmither you say? Wow, fighting blacksmither I have never heard of much, your clan must be really prospering, you must travel from long distances from your clan." the dragon said, Beinir wanted to say he has no real clan, but then he realized that the dragon, is somehow weird. He looked at him again closely, he thought that he was ambushed by the dragons to be robbed of his things, but as he looks the dragon doesn't really have something that would catch an eye of bandit, maybe just a try of luck he then though. "Oh, ...yeah, I will be going by my way now, you should go home." he said, "Oi, wait! What's your name warrior blacksmither?" dragon asked, "Beinir.", "Mine's Vifir." he said, "Good, farewell Vifir." Beinir said and walked away slowly, as he was out of the jungle again, somebody touched him, he shivered and turned around his neck, and Vifir was poking his tail, "Oh, sorry, don't mind me if you want, i just wanted to give you this back, it fell out of you bags." he said and giving him his plate of copper, Beinir was surprised, he was sure that he didn't saw something falling from him, "Oh, thank you, Vifir." he said, "No worries big man, can I join to your way for a little bit? I'm...I'm afraid that these dragons will come back to get me?" Vifir asked, Beinir sees it natural to have a fear like that, and even that he wasn't feeling the right good about him he agreed. And so the two dragons continued on the way.

As they travel, for a while there was a silent-situation, and so Vifir started to talk, at first about himself, that he is from big family that is living alone and often moves with herds, and that he was lost in one of these movings, but he thinks he knows where they are, he was also narrating his experiences and funny stories he lived trough his life with his siblings and other relatives. Beinir listened to him, and as he thought - Vifir is a really that chatty-type of dragon, but listening to him was quite nice, and so he sometimes said about his nice family moments too. Vifir was also joking and a little pranking about him, and he realized, it makes him smile more often than he normally do.

Maybe after a four days of travel, they approach a forgein dragon clan called "Leafs of South", Beinir was pleasured that he finally found them, as he was given a good work offer here, but Vifir seems to act out of his usual cheery nature, when Beinir asked about that, he just told him that he is not feeling very well, and that they have to split as he will be still heading to his home. Beinir so said his farewell and continued in his way. When he arrived the leader was awaiting him urgently, "oh, thanks dragon Gods you are finally here! We really need a big iron chest for our treasure to hold, we will be buying a piece of territory from our neighbours. It's really important to start working on it as fast as you can. But you must be tired after that journey..." he said, "No, I understood, I will get to work right now, my bones and flesh will hurt just the same even if I didn't." Beinir replied, "Really? Good! Here, the guards will show your workplace, you earn my respect." the leader said and Beinir left with guards. He worked till the deep night, nearly exhausted he got to his bed, but not even after few minutes of his sleep an alarm of guards sounded. "We got him! We got him!", "They are bringing him already!", "The rogue catched!" they were shouting. Beinir was so sleepy, but he was curious what is happening and went outside. There on the yard, he saw as guards had someone tied by rope and were showing him to everybody, and the crew cheered. He asked a dragon next to him, what is happening, "Ohoho! The guards just caught a rogue that was in this clan before! He fooled us for a really rare magical item that he then lost with. And now the justice will be served!" the dragon said, Beinir then came for closer look and he recognized Vifir! "Hey, I don't want to impair your great victory but thi can't be the dragon you are looking for!" he shouted, everybody silenced, "His name is Vifir, I have been traveling with him for a while, he is no treat to anyone." he said, others started to whispering, then one shouted and others continued "Traitor!"," It's his co-worker! He is trying to fool us!", "They planned to steal our treasure for territory purchase!", as Beinir was so tired he didn't even get the chance to respond on that and he and Vifir was in the clan's jail, "Tomorrow the leader will make the judgment." said the guard and left.

".... - ... What the hell is happening?! This must be huge misunderstanding!" Beinir shouted, he turned around on Vifir, "Oi, hello big guy, long time no see. huh? " he smiled fairly, "Vifir, we must somehow clear ourselfs, this is just misunderstanding, well, the things can always go worse but I bet if we talk to the leader everything will be fine." Beinir said and then lied as he was tired, Vifir looked so...surprised or shocked. He sat near to him, and looks so sad, "Yeah, everything will be fine." he then blurbed and looked at Beinir, "Hey, Vifir one time you will tell this as funny story to another traveller, huh? Seems like a good one." Beinir said, "mhhm..." Vifir blurbed. Then Beinir fell asleep.

In the morning however, he was awakened again by the guards alarm, "The rogue escaped!", "He is gone! GONE!", "Find him!" they were shouting, "Wh-a?" Beinir was confused, he looked around - and Vifir was nowhere to be found. And it sparked in Beinir, that he was fooled also, all the time, he was travelling with a criminal. A hatred filled his mind. He was trying to talk to the guards, that he is fooled the same as they was, that he is not guilty, nothing happens. "The leader was really dissapointed by you, blacksmither, to make a warning for every rogue, you will be executed." then one guard said, "What?! That's insane! I'm not guilty, how can I prove it!?" Beinir shouted, "Hmh! If you are so innocent as you say, then you will fight for your life in the circle of Truth, where no of your dirty illusions or poisons could be used!" the guard said and left. Beinir knew that he is good fighter but not as good to face a whole-life trained warrior - but at least this is his chance.

The place was ready, the whole clan was ready to watch the event, "Circle of Truth!" they cheered, and Beinir was standing before a huge ridgeback male, a skilled warrior on the first look, with scars, and his battle equipment, leaving him an ugly smirk. Beinir was left naked. Beinir knew that there is small chance to win a such fight, but he was determinated to do everything he could to show them. The fight began, and right after it he earned first hit, the ridgeback was fast even he was so big and strong. The fight was long, Beinir was tired, hurted but still standing, as he knew more how to defend himself, he managed to make tired his opponent too. He knew that was his chance and make a risk-move. And he did it! He was standing upon the warrior, not killim him though, but he won, he smiled and look on everybody around, but their faces...."Kill him! He cheated!" sounded, he couldn't believe it, after everything?! "Kill him!" shouted even the leader on the guards, everyone was heading to him. But then, some spell was called, a cards that were lying around without notice raised, made a circle around him and light blinded everything around, when it stops, on the place where Beinir stood a second ago, was standing a scared basilisk.

Beinir was blinded too, but when he could see again, he was tottaly somewhere else, "You did not bad." he heard next to him, he looked and it was Vifir. "Wh-y YOU!" Beinir shout out, "What have you done?! This is all your fault! You fooled me you dirty criminal!" he continued and was getting after Vifir, "hey, oi- wait!" Vifir was running before him, but Beinir catched him filled with rage. "YOU!!", "Yes, yeah, me. BUT hold a second! I just save your butt, didn't I?" he said, "Look around, you are safe now, we are far away from that clan, they can't go after us.", "Grrrr! If wasn't you I wasn't need to ran away." Beinir replied, "...uhhh yyyyess?? But neither I didn't have to help you." Vifir said, "humpf!" burbled Beinir, "So now what?! You woud like to extort me with it?!". "hmm...good idea but no." Vifir said, "gah, what it is then?" Beinir asked, "oh, well, I think you are a really good guy inside, sure, maybe little stupid and easily trusting to strangers, but it was a really long time since somebody acted like this, y' know - stood beside stranger in danger, haha -uhm, I feel like it would be shame to let kill somebody like you, because of me, get it?", "I believed in you only for that bag of lies! Why would you even care?!" Beinir roared, "oh, cuz' I would like to be your friend, of course!" Vifir smiled, "WHAT?! Gaaah! You saved my life, FINE! I will let you go, but I don't want to have anything to do with you again!" Beinir shouted and released him, turned around and walked away, but Vifir was following him. Beinir tried to get rid of him, to scare him away, but nothing helped, so he jut strated to ignore him, and Vifri was coming nearer and nearer.

"Dear dragon gods! Leave me alone, Vifir! I know that most of it that came from you were lies, but don't you have even a clan and family to go?!" one day Beinir exclaimed, "Oh, uhm...nope, I don't have anyone, hey! My true name's Vafri bytheway!", "...?" , "yeah, well not that like I have never had, but everyone's gone a long time ago, and yes - all that funny stories about my relatives were fakes, I have never been in family leading herds, lol, these were stories that I heard by old Jebirai, country freak, but good inside just as you.", Beinir looked at him, he feels it, that now he is honest with his words, as what he said about his family he looks forlorn and so sad, huh? what is he thinking about, he is still a criminal! but he really saved his life, even that he didn't has to, for nothing?....maybe he wants to play hs next game...or not?,"You are thinking a lot do you, big guy?" Vafri said,"Not your bussiness." Beinir blurbed, "Oh, okay!...". They then remain silent till dimming

Beinir is laying next to campfire under colorful sky of the nightfall, and Vafri is playing with bunch of sticks in the nearly night but still near to campfire's light. Beinir was watching him, "....so you are honest with me now hmm? So, how did you came to be a criminal?" he then asked, Vafri stopped what he was doing immediately, and looked at him, "...uhm, to be honest is the key of true friendship isn't it?" he replied, "So?" Beinir continued, Vafri looked into the fire, "well, so you would like to hear my life story huh?", "Well, if it's in need, then yes." Beinir replied, "...okay, sure, but then you will told me why you so much don't like us." Vafri said, Beinir looked at him, "...fine" he then breathed out, "sounds fair.".

Then Vafri started with his story, Beinir was listening carefully and watched him, he really looks uncomfortable to speak about it, when he finished he looked at Beinir to see his reaction, Beinir stood still, he was thinking with frown face, " I didn't know what did you expect to hear, but well that it is, and ehm *cough-cough* ...so, what about you?" Vafri asked, Beinir looked at him and deeply inhaled and exhaled, and then started. When he finished his story, he looked at Vafri and he was shocked, and sad, for a while the silence filled the place among them, only the fire was crackling. Vafri then lifted his head and said a little joke, and Beinir smiled.

The end.
