Neon felt

Why, if it weren't for this 'internal illumination' the world would be nothing but a pile of dirt!” ― Albert Einstein

Neon was created by a powerful wizard to be the perfect Protector of Magic. The wizard imbued Neon with powerful magic spells and enchantments, making him incredibly powerful. However, unknown to Neon was the nature of his wizard creator, and that nature was dark as the moonless night and his magic as black as the wizard's heart.

On such a a moonless night the wizard committed his gravest and last error of judgement - he disrespected Wizard #950. On a bridge on the way to The Tavern they crossed paths. The wizard, in his foolishness, did not give Ixar right of first passage, even though age difference and wizard code demanded it. Ixar was forced to obliterate the wizard for there is no room in this world for such insults between sorcerers. Neon leapt to defend his creator and was badly damaged. The wizard was now a pile of ashes and Neon a collection of parts more scattered than whole.

As he walked away Ixar heard the laments of the trusty warrior robot. Neon's heart cried out, not for himself, but for the demise of his maker "beep-booooop, beep-boop.." sad and scared, like a kitten separated from his litter and mother. So Wizard #950 took pity on him, for a creature that suffers for others and cannot tell evil from good must contain something noble, something life-worthy. Ixar worked a regenerative spell and now Neon was mended!

Now whole again he asked to join Ixar and in gratitude be his servant and side-kick.

His request was denied:

Wizard #950 -You, Neon, have a noble gentle soul. It shines so bright, even through that cold metal body, that it would be a crime to pledge it to anyone's shadow! Find your own place in this crazy world, be your own warrior.

Warrior #12431 -But what of my purpose, i am a Protector of Magic. What magic will i protect if i am to be alone. I am scared and confused, nothing to guide me and nothing for me to guide.

Again Ixar's heart was softened by Neon's innocent and sensitive nature. So he conjured him a Robo Dog companion and named it Magic.

Wizard #950 -Little Magic over here looks like he needs some protection. If you learn to care for and protect the tinniest sentient creature half the work is already done and the world, and Magic too, is in good hands.

And as their paths diverged "beep-boop! beep-boop!" the forest echoed, now joyful and loud.
