Pets
Aureus Plushie: Aureus decided one day to test his skills on the art of sewing. Surprised by how well this plushie turned out, he vowed to keep it safe in hopes of someday making it alive. Not sure how he's going to do it, he had given this plushie to Frosting. She kept screeching and trying to snatch it away from him so she could play with it. Knowing he's going to have to make another one.
Frosting: Aureus is accompanied by a delightful and enchanting companion known as Frosting. Within a small pouch securely fastened to his back, resides a tiny Ice Wyvern Hatchling. Frosting, like Aureus, bears the mark of the curse, which manifests as beautiful blue ice crystals that periodically fall from its shimmering scales. This charming creature adds a touch of magic and mystique to Aureus' presence, serving as a reminder of the extraordinary circumstances that have shaped his existence.
Greg: Among Aureus' eclectic band of companions is a rather peculiar amphibian named Greg. Encountered on one of his adventurous expeditions, this random frog quickly found a place within Aureus' journey. Greg possesses an insatiable appetite, often amusingly devouring objects found strewn on the ground as if he can never have enough to eat. Despite his seemingly voracious nature, Greg has grown into a robust and sizable frog, measuring just about a foot in height. While his exact role within Aureus' life may be somewhat enigmatic, the enigmatic amphibian adds a touch of whimsy and unpredictability to their shared adventures.

History
Aureus, the crystallized minotaur, was born in the town of Larket during a time of great turmoil and conflict. His birth brought little joy to his parents, as they were both warriors deeply entrenched in a devastating war. Tragedy struck just a few months after Aureus's birth when his parents lost their lives on the battlefield, leaving the young minotaur orphaned and alone.
Left to fend for himself, Aureus grew up amidst the scars of war, raised by the hardened streets and the challenges they presented. With no one to guide or mentor him, he learned to rely on his own instincts and strength. Determined to survive and thrive, Aureus developed a self-sufficiency that became the cornerstone of his character.
As he navigated the harsh realities of his existence, Aureus discovered his natural affinity for combat. The sight of a mighty axe in his hands filled him with a sense of purpose and power. Guided by an innate understanding of the weapon, he taught himself the art of wielding an axe, honing his skills through relentless practice and trial and error.
In his solitary pursuit of mastery, Aureus encountered various battles and foes, each providing an opportunity for growth. His unwavering determination and unwavering spirit propelled him forward, driving him to push his physical and mental limits.
Amidst his travels, Aureus heard whispers of a meteorite that was said to be from Fybltch'zyx, said to possess extraordinary powers of transformation. Intrigued by the tales and desperate to understand the origins of his crystalline curse, he embarked on a quest to find the elusive meteorite.
Guided by fragments of ancient texts and whispered rumors, Aureus journeyed through treacherous landscapes, overcoming formidable obstacles along the way. Finally, after months of tireless searching, he discovered the hidden location where the Fybltch'zyx meteorite was said to reside.
As Aureus stood before the pulsating meteorite, a surge of energy coursed through his veins. In a moment of intense connection, the power of the meteorite merged with his own essence, transforming him into a crystallized minotaur. The once-mortal minotaur found himself encased in sparkling, semi-transparent black crystals, his physical appearance forever altered.
But there was something else amidst the radiant crystals—a magnificent axe, forged from the same material as the meteorite itself. It had been discarded, seemingly abandoned, by a priest who had succumbed to the crystal transformation. Recognizing the weapon as a symbol of his destiny, Aureus claimed it as his own, wielding it with a newfound sense of purpose.
Embracing his crystalline form and his newfound weapon, Aureus vowed to understand the nature of his curse and harness its power for good. He set out on a solitary journey, seeking answers from sages, mystics, and ancient texts that could shed light on the enigmatic meteorite and his crystalline existence.
Throughout his travels, Aureus encountered adversity and danger, battling dragons, delving into forbidden knowledge, and facing the darkest corners of the world. He acquired scars, both physical and emotional, from encounters with creatures and forces that sought to exploit the power within him.
Yet, despite the challenges, Aureus remained resolute. He evolved into a formidable guardian, using his immense strength and skill with his crystalline axe to protect those in need and stand against the forces of darkness. His presence inspired both awe and trepidation, as his crystalline form and brooding weapon became symbols of defiance against the chaos that threatened the land.
