History: Gray was born into a very wealthy family that had ties to the schnee dust company. The Blacklight family was very rich, until that terrible day (as gray refers to it.). One day, on a day like any day, gray was on a family outing with his parents. Despite his mothers warnings, his father desided they would take the annual picknic at a forest. His mother was very worried thay would come across grimm, but his father ignored her, saying, "its fine. nothing will happen. I will bring my guards. It will all be fine!". Little did he know, the picknic spot was near a resting place for an ursa major. While nothing happened for a while, late into the day, they all heard a scream coming from deep within the forest, and the adults left the kids all alone and went into the forest. most of the kids had already gone home, but gray was still there. He decided to go searching for his parents. While still searching for his parents, he came across a pack of five beowolves, and tried to hide from them before they saw him. After the pack of beowolves passed by, he got out of the bush he was hiding in, and kept walking. After a while he heard a loud roar and ran towards the noise, think he might find his parents. "Mom? Dad?" he shouted. "Son!" he heard is father say. he ran into a clearing in the forest. He saw his mom and dad fighting an ursa major. There were so many bodies. that was the only thought racing through his mind. All of a sudden, his mom got hit by the ursas swinging claws. "NOOOO!!!" shouted gray. He went to his mothers side saying, "Mom, are you all right?" he asked despratly. "Its all right gray. Promise me you will live your life to the fullest. Go. You have to run, forgett me, please gray." said his mother. "don't talk like that! I'm going to get you out of here." He tried to hoist her onto his back, but only put her in more pain. She had very deep wounds in her upper torso, near her lungs. He set her back down gently. "please... don't die..." he said. His mother replied, "It's fine... you mu... you must go..." she then breathed her last. "Why... why her?" grey said. His father was still fighting the ursa, when the ursa sturck his father in the head with its claws. gray started to attack the ursa without a second thought. He saw something strange appear below his feet. it was spining. "Wha- what is this?" he suddenly lept into the air, above the ursa. Then he used the strange symbol to propel himself at the ursa. suddenly, he got hit by something flying through the air. He saw someone carrying him, and then blacked out. When he woke up, he was in a bed. "Wait, this is my bed" he thought to himself. He suddenly remembered all that happened, and started to cry. Then, a boy with black hair came into the room. "Hey, i see your finally up." the boy said. " *sniff* *sniff* who are you?" grey said as tears were flowing down his cheeks. "My name is Lance." the boy replied.
