The youngest and last of the first litter in the Lilac-Pagonis family! This was an incredibly fun project to give myself. I hope to maybe one day use these characters more

Gwydion Lilac-Pagonis is the youngest of the rabbit soldier Valerie and lion tournament fighter Alcaeus' first litter.

Although the rest of the family found their spot in the dynamic very quickly, Gwydion was a bit more quiet than the rest of the kids. As he grew, he would spend more and more time away from the rowdiness of the others and find more quiet places to be on his own. A particular spot that Gwydion would enjoy would be the family's garden. At one point an activity of Valerie's, he took the responsibility from her of tending to the flowers and herbs out in the stillness of the yard.

While Gwydion was still young teens, he found himself exploring the house and found himself where normally he was not supposed to be. He found where his parents had stored trinkets and items from their adventuring days, before he and his siblings were born. In this collection, he found a strange looking sword. The sword was highly intriguing, and intricate. The short blade looked fairly dull, however the guard was highly intricate, and contained a rather curious gem on the pommel. Something was screaming in the boy's head to hold this sword. Gently he placed his hands over the grip of the sword, and grabbed onto it. Once he did, he felt a wave of energy come over him, along with a voice barking in his head!

"Finally, I am wielded by one who is worthy! Let us conquer all and-" the sword pauses, "who is this? A child has come to wield my power? Surely a jest! Speak thy name, who dares to claim me?"

"I- I am Gwydion Lilac-Pagonis s-sir uh- sir sword. I apologize for I did not mean to wake you."

"But wake me you did, little Gwydion, and my power you shall have. Though tread carefully child.. You, son of Lilac cannot speak of me, for your family would not wish for you to have this power and surpass them." Young Gwydion nodded, heeding the sword with baited breath.

"Then what must I do?"

"We must leave.. Leave to hone your ability and never return." Without a second thought, the young rabbit packed a bag and ran away from home to hone his magic, much to the panic of his family's discovery! This led to days and days of searching while Gwydion learned the ways of the sword's wild magic. It was unstable, and would sometimes lead to unforeseen consequences. At one point young Gwydion had a beard of feathers appear that took a near day to yank out, or another instance when a fireball just appeared right at the tip of the sword near ending him instantly!

Days turned to weeks, and even into a month. Gwydion had hid himself well from his family, who had still been trying to find him. The boy had learned much from his sword, and the sword had learned from him.. It was one day that the sword had finally asked the boy.

"Do you miss your family, young man?"

"More than anything, sir sword. Though loud and rambunctious they can be, I do miss them. I miss my siblings and their bickering, and my mother and father's tender care."

"I must confess to you Gwydion, I was not forthcoming with my intentions. I had sought to give you power with intent to conquer and destroy. However with our time together, I see that you are a gentle soul. Perhaps it is you that corrupted me, for the better. I wish for you to feel the comfort of home, let us return."

And return the young man did, and the large family of rabbits embraced him dearly. Though of course not without a scolding from his mother and father first. Really though, they were just happy to see him okay. Gwydion had confessed to stealing their talking sword, and used it to train himself to become a sorcerer, the only true spell-caster in the entire Lilac-Pagonis family! However with discovering this news, his mother Valerie was a bit confused.

"You took that hunk of junk? I had thought your father thrown it away. We thought it to just be an old useless relic."

Today Gwydion is still tends to the family garden, and for the most part is still the quiet child. However he is much more engaging with the family after learning the loneliness of being detached.
