Username: myth + destiny
Name: Septimus
Pronouns: he/him
How many Flitz you've won this month: None D:
Prompt: The seventh son of a powerful lord, Septimus is constantly trying to prove he is better than his seven brothers: Primus, Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, Sextus. He is not in line for any lands, power, wealth, or arranged marriages with other wealthy and powerful flits in the land either. He's the spare of a spare of a spare and is in a constant state of anger and rage, feeling robbed of what should rightfully be his should he have the strength to fight for and earn it.
Ever since he was a young flitling, Septimus had tried to overpower his brothers repeatedly, sometimes even trying to kill them so that he might have less rivals and a higher chance of getting something other than disapproval from his father. He fought with them frequently, as well as other flits, to increase his prowess in battle and make himself better, stronger, and more powerful; all in an attempt to make his father realise that he, not his other brothers, should be the lord of the land.
One day, after drinking grape juice and orange peel punch, he and his closest brother Quartus got into a bar brawl. In their drunken state, some harsh words were exchanged by the pair, Quartus told Septimus that he really was the worst of the brothers, the weakest, and the least likely to ever be anything more than a spare part and a cast away. Of course, Septimus was outraged by these words and instead of offering his own back, he attacked his brother. The other flits managed to part the two brothers and Septimus ran away in a rage, deciding that he was going to prove himself worthy once and for all.
He decided that he'd fight the harshest, meanest, and strongest flit in the land. A rogue and terrifying flit of the name Glitch, a menace who would swoop down form the mountains and steal their food, treasure, and sometimes even the children from their cribs, never to be seen again. His father had sent countless warriors to hunt him down and bring an end to the misery by reliving Glitch of his wings and thus his power over them. But all failed to bring back a shred of evidence that they had even fought the rogue flit. Drunk, both literally and metaphorically, he challenged the rogue flit to a fight.
Glitch was a truly worthy opponent, or so Septimus he deemed, and if he could rid the land of this beast, then he'd surely be crowned by his father and rule the land.
As it should be.
As it always should have been.
Sadly, and predictably, he was no match for Glitch…
When he reached the peak of the mountains where Glitch called home, he challenged the rogue to a fight and swore that on this night, Glitch would fall, the kingdom would be safe, and he’d be crowned ruler.
Drunk and overzealous, Septimus was no match for Glitch, who defeated Septimus and left him wounded and weak on the mountain side where their terrible battle had taken place. Ever since that terrible defeat, wounded, shamed, Septimus became an outcast of his family and lived along the borders of the village, hooded and mad with blood lust and revenge...
