With his father recruited into a peasant force, he was sent with his mother to the western parts of Tau. Unfortunately, on the journey, his mother fell terribly ill, succumbing to it just after making it into the mystical Alabaster Mountains. Now being an orphaned, he found himself placed with others who had also lost their families in these times. It was also in those early years he would find Xiong, an older boy that he would call his brother. Upon the turning of his fifteenth year, he and Xiong were both scouted by the institute for training in both the mystic and martial arts. In the years since then, Wei and Xiong pushes themselves in their training and studies, with both of them often being amongst the top of the apprentices there. While Xiong usually fared better in the martial part of the training, Wei was said to have a better understanding and connection with the mystical side of it. It was not that long ago when the knowledge in making the only weapons known to fight back the undead successfully, the Inochi no ken, was given to those in Tau. Though the price of making one was surprising to hear at first, to those trained at the institute, it made great sense in a way. In order to fight the great darkness that has come to these lands, great sacrifice to combat that was accepted. It didn’t mean that Wei was prepared when Xiong said he was ready to make that sacrifice, asking Wei to be the one to wield him once it was over. Wei was at first quite hesitant at first about Xiong so ready to give up his life so easily. Xiong’s hand came up and grasped Wei’s shoulder, telling him it was alright. That as his older brother, he was always ready to help and protect Wei with his life if needed. And now was that time. The will acknowledged, Wei had one final meal with his brother, before he found himself leaving the grounds that evening with the newly forged Jian, Yǒnggǎn de gē, at his side. He spent the next several years training day in and day out with the blade in the morning, his mystical studies around noon, and archery in the evening when he had a spare moment. And when he was chosen to be sent out as a representative of Tau by their leader, he was ready to begin the long task of taking back the lands he had long ago known as home.[/hider] [/quote] Accepted
