WHEEL OF TIME

TO YOU I BIND MY SOUL AND PLEDGE MY BLADES.

NOTE: This verse is based on the TV Show only since I have not read the books at this time. I do not care about spoilers though. Also, if anything doesn’t make sense in this verse write up please let me know so that I can fix it.

Born in the Borderlands, Zoro was the sole survivor of his village after it fell to the Blight. Managing to escape only because he’d been in the neighboring town visiting the blacksmith since the one in his village had died when the Blight arrived. Leaving him once more alone in the world with nothing to remember his sword-master and best friend by other than their swords. The two having had to remain behind due to a village council meeting that had been held to discuss the very thing that consumed them that night.

Wandering from village to city to village again making a living as a bounty hunter and tracker as he grew he spent all of his free time training and developing a new technique, the Three-Blade Swordstyle. Designed so that he could wield all three swords in honor of his chosen family and village. It was during this time that he earned the title of Blademaster after defeating one before a crowd of people in defense of a young girl who had angered the man.

Shortly afterward, he found himself in Two Rivers, a village he had visited a few times over the years. Having escorted a pregnant wife and her husband there from a few villages over. Unaware that his life would soon change for that night the trolloc’s attacked and after witnessing him defend the village Lan Mandragoran advises him to go to the White Tower to become a Warder. Stating that his skills are wasted on bounty hunting and tracking. Advice that he takes out of respect for the already famous blademaster and Warder. Unaware that his fate was now interwoven with those he’d known throughout the years during his visits to Two Rivers.
