Editing Kestrel the Druid (section)

==Character Backstory==
Kestrel was born Kashek, youngest son of farmers in a rural community. He always more interested in wild things than cultivated and spent hours in the forest or daydreaming in the hills.

When he was nine years old he wandered farther than usual and found a ruin in the forest. Ornate pillars and crumbling walls were wreathed with ivy, one single building larger than the whole village. He'd been walking for a long time and fell asleep in a patch of sunshine. Only meaning to nap, instead he found he'd passed into the Feywild and the portal had closed as he slept.

The Feywild is a dangerous place, especially for the unwary. Luckily he was found by a centaur who was fascinated by this odd mortal child. Aldrudis took him under his wing, nicknamed him Kestrel, and taught him about nature and the Feywild.

After seven years Kestrel found his way home the same way he'd lost it. He walked too far and found a familiar ruin. He walked further and found a village that looked just as he remembered it. He ran to his his parents house and they too looked like he remembered them.

He'd only been gone seven days.

Things were difficult. The youngest child was now the oldest. His parents forbade him to speak of his time in the Feywild, afraid his siblings would run away seeking their own portal. Over time it became clear they were grieving the boy he was instead of accepting the one he'd become. He stayed less than a year before leaving.

Better for everyone that way. He could never be a farmer, no matter how hard he pretended, just as his family could never truly accept the odd fey-touched youn man who had returned to them. Now they could move on with their lives, and he could be Kestrel again.
