on_holy_groundIt began with darkness.
There was a foundling who was raised in a time of war, and was baptized in the blood of the enemy. Eventually the child grew to a man, and became a great General of his people, skilled in the art of battle. Then some say the man became a demon, or perhaps a dark god, dying and returning to life in order to continue to lead his people to victory.
He drew great warriors to him, men who thirsted for power and the spoils of victory. With these men, the man built a mighty army, which was later instrumental in the taking of a mighty city. It was later whispered among the vanquished people that the demon General was unbeatable, and that he stole the souls of their dead warriors in order to keep his own unnatural life.
Then came the light.
It took the dark man by surprise, felling him in one stroke, and curling through his very soul. It settled into every part of him, shining with such power that it vanquished the darkness. It brought with it a peace, and a need to bring the light to others.
So the man traveled the known world for a time, searching for the best way to bring others the message that he had been blessed with by the light. He tried many different things, learning much in the process, before finally discovering the way that he felt would benefit the most people. And so he settled down in the place where he had first experienced the light, and taught everyone who was willing to listen the message of peace and love that it had brought to him.

ooc: The songs are A Night On Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky, and Ellens Gesang III "Ave Maria" by Franz Schubert. Yes, he gets two, because I saw the sequence in Fantasia that utilized the two and it just seemed to fit him. And besides, he's old enough that he should get at least two! And then there's the fact that he's been two completely different people. So there. :P
