His parents lost most of their money after Belisario took over so Ethelwinn grew up in a small home. Unlike his mother, who never failed to complain about the poverty, Ethelwinn did not mind because it was the only life he knew. He joined his father working on a barely living farm that supplied food for the inhabitants of the overlord's castle. Sadly, when he was nine years old, his mother was executed after being framed by a rebel. Since nobody knew she was not actually a rebel, Ethelwinn and his father became outcasts in the community. They were banned from working on the farm any longer and closely watched to see if they were rebels too. Within a few months they were homeless and Ethelwinn was often given the portions of food his father managed to find, unknown to him. His father grew thinner and more depressed as the months went by, worrying Ethelwinn, but he was angry because all his father would do was mumble how he missed Ethelline. Ethelwinn finally snapped one day and yelled at his father, claiming he shouldn't miss her. He blamed her for all their suffering and was angry they had to live like this because she betrayed the overlord. He came to regret the argument later because his words to his father were the final thing to push Etheal to the edge, and Ethelwinn found his father's body after he committed suicide. He took his father's cherished ring, that once belonged to Ethelline, as a memento of his parents before fleeing the scene. After both his parents died he was left all alone, not knowing anything about his parents' relatives, so he was forced to fend for himself on the streets. Being a resourceful boy, Ethelwinn remember what his father used to do in order to find scraps and leftovers to live off. One day he met another boy his age, Furai Justus, and took pity on him. He took Furai under his wing and they became fast friends, trusting each other enough with their prize possessions that they normally would never part with. Ethelwinn had his mother's ring and Furai a necklace from his father; every time they separated, the two switched jewelry. They promised each other they would return their items after they met up again; ensuring that they would always come back to each other. One day Ethelwinn snuck into a warehouse to search for supplies, not knowing that three wizards were up to mischief inside: Valarc Mancini, Weren Taiga, and Angeneva Apollos. As he looked for items of interest, an explosion and obnoxious laugh caught his attention. The curious Ethelwinn tried to sneak a look at what was happened and saw a blond boy yelling about "testing his new cool moves" to his dark haired opponent, who looked tired at unimpressed with the blond's antics. A pretty girl clutching a notebook was watching them nervously to the side. When the blond began another attack, against Ethelwinn's better judgment he stayed hidden in the room, completely in awe at how strong both teenagers were. The fight went on for some time but the starstruck Ethelwinn did not realize how the battle began to escalate, even after the girl fled the room to escape danger. And, after the dark haired boy deflected the blond's "Super Awesome Shadow Spear" that he seemingly created from dark magic, the spear shot straight towards Ethelwinn. It happened so fast the young boy didn't even see it coming and his neck was sliced open. His cry of pain caught the attention of the boys and while the blond called for the girl, the dark haired boy came to Ethelwinn to try and help. He tried to stop the bleeding, and later the girl took over trying to heal him, but it was no use. She had no idea how to heal a wound caused by dark magic and Ethelwinn died before they could call for help. Frightened that he had accidentally killed someone, Valarc panicked and kept apologizing to the corpse while Angeneva cried silent tears for failing to save the little boy. Weren looked just as distraught, since it was his deflection that made the spear hurt the child. Valarc's anxiety worsened when he wondered if he would be in trouble and blurted out they needed to do something about the body. Weren, a sudden calm overcoming him, suggested to Angeneva that she take Valarc home and that he would take care of the situation. After he was alone in the warehouse, Weren shakily set Ethelwinn's body on fire, wanting to remove evidence that the boy was killed by the spear created by Valarc's dark magic. When the body was left unrecognizable, Weren fled the building to go throw up, then destroy the weapon. Later, some rebellion members found the scene and Furei Justus was one of them. When his teammate found the only notable identifying thing on the corpse - a charred necklace - Furei recognized it as the one he gave to his child. The horrified man mistakenly assumed the dead boy was his son, Furai, not knowing that Ethelwinn had been holding onto to Furai's precious necklace. And elsewhere Furai waited in their hideout for Ethelwinn to return, clutching a ring in his hands. [/center]
