Fearless Manny & Silver Tongue Percival

Manny never knew his parents (not that it matters to him), all he knows that he was abandoned on the streets where a travelling caravan of interesting individuals stumbled upon him, the caravan was the” travelling wonders of sir Tomas”, they sheltered him and fed him started teaching him how to fight and how to perform to please the crowds in every major city or small village they stop at.

On his 6th birthday, Sir Tomas gifted him a dormant black dragon egg as he officially became a part of the show they perform. That day, he slept, as happy as he could be, hugging the precious gift. Suddenly, an unpleasant feeling of moisture woke him up, but Manny dismissed it at first, thinking it was the roof leaking again. It took him a moment to realize that it was completely calm outside, no signs of rain, and when a strange, mildly sweet smell hit his nostrils, he realized what had happened. The egg! The egg was cracked! He broke the expensive gift he just received! Devastated, he started crying and whining; his screams echoed outside his cart. After a few anguishing minutes,

which felt like an eternity, he managed to calm down. Whimpering and wiping away his tears, he looked again at the broken gift. It was then that he realized that cracking the egg wasn’t his doing; a pair of red eyes was staring at him from under the broken shell pieces. Terrified, Manny tried to scream in panic, but he could not, as his vocal cords were already exhausted. The mysterious creature crawled out of the egg, its black scales shined in the moonlight, and it was clear that a miracle had just happened. A new Dragonborn had just hatched.

Sir Tomas, disturbed by the noise, rushed to see what had happened. He was shocked to see the small, dark creature emerging from the broken egg. He turned to Manny and quickly explained to him what a Dragonborn is and how rare they are, that "...they grow very, very fast and soon enough he will be your size and mental age." he laughed "It seems like your true birthday gift was a little brother! Let's give him a name, shall we ? How about Percival...".

As the years passed, the two boys grew up well and in good health, brothers with a bond stronger than steel. Manny chose the rough Gladiator way, fighting with monsters in the arena, earning him the title of “fearless” and occasionally acting as the hero of historical battles against his brother, whose menacing looks made him a perfect "evil villain".

Percival, on the other hand, wasn’t just the "evil mastermind" of the acts. He grew up to become a famous bard and a mascot of the “travelling wonders“, announcing the acts and performing on his own, gathering big crowds wherever he performed. His musical talent and unusually charming voice earned him the name "The silver tongue of travelling wonders", which he later adopted as his stage name.

The coming years were an easy road for the “Travelling wonders”, but each road has an end, and its end began with “Sir Tomas” passing away from old age. The brothers tried their best to keep the family united, but their efforts were fruitless as each week fight broke out among the crew and they slowly started losing members. They were good at performing, but managing wasn’t a part of what they learned. They wondered how Sir “Tomas” kept the family tight for so long without fights breaking out.

Eventually, the entire family split, each performer going their own way, and the “Travelling Wonders” was no more. The brothers continued to do what they knew best, travelling from town to town and performing at every inn they could find, just as their "father” had taught them, until they too parted ways.
