The legend of Firr (rough draft)

Deep in a forest that has stood upon the land since ancient times lay a boy. This boy, now curled into a ball, murmurs in his sleep and shakes his head. His bloody, crimson hair billows around the grayish black horns. The wind sends another gentle breath that chills the boy, slowly his eyes open revealing them to be a blood red color as well. As he gets up its obvious that he is in his mid-teens, sixteen perhaps, looking around the boy does not recognize his surroundings. As he tries to remember why he is there a word comes to mind, Firr, knowing instinctively that it is his name. Other than his name he cannot remember anything else, Firr decides to look for something that can help him remember so he sets out from the forest and searches for clues to his lost memories. Along his newly started travels he comes across a town, as he enters the town the people flee away from him. Wondering why the people flee he ventures deeper into the town, only to be attacked by the town guard. As he is chased from the town by the guard he is called many names, one of those being demon. Some distance from the town he passes a lake. He walks over to the lake, being thirsty from running, and sees his reflection. His appearance frightens him some but the realization that he, what they called a demon, frightened to townsfolk a thousand fold more than he scared himself. Now knowing that he is of a hated and feared race things start to come back to him. The memories are of killing dozens of people for amusement, destroying whole villages on a whim and the brutal rape of several women. The memories confuse him and drag him to the edge of sanity. Then on his walk from the lake he stumbles upon a young girl. Her reaction, absolute terror, pushes him over the brink and he flees into the forest killing many animals and a few people along the way. For several days Firr hides in the forest laughing dementedly, killing every living thing in sight. During the time he is not killing he is lost deep in thought, talking to himself, on who he is. After his fourth week in the forest he comes across the place where he woke up, memories rushed back to him. He fell to the ground in a deep slumber yet again, but this time he did not dream of his past. During his sleep he saw visions of humans killing each other in the forest and in the town. Among these dreams he saw those of humans fighting against the odds to defend the place they lived from being destroyed. After several days of dreaming, Firr awoke. He sat there for five days pondering his situation, when he finally got up from his spot he had made up his mind. He may be a demon, but he did not have to kill at a whim, but the visions from his dream showed loyalty to home, which made Firr think if he had a home. After some thought on this he decided that this forest would be his home and that he would defend it from the humans who wanted to destroy it and others in it.
