Through the forest you wander, your weary from your journey and just when you think your about ready to rest for a while, you spot a three story cabin up ahead in a small clearing surrounded by towering pines and oaks.
A faint smiles crosses your lips as you see a single light coming in through the one of the windows. Soon your weary feet carry you to the door, you knock but there is no answer at first. So you open the door and find yourself in the front room of the cabin, There's a warm fireplace lit, two leather overstuffed black chairs infront of the fireplace. A small table is in between the chairs and there rests a bottle of wine and a half filled glass of the exquisite looking wine.
As you continue to look around after quietly closing the door, you see the bar across the room, behind there a kitchen. Near the end of the bar is a staircase leading to the upper floors where there are several bedrooms and also the attic which takes up nearly the whole third story.
You see also another door and it will lead to the basement. Off the the side of the house you had noticed a toolshed. The house is decored in simple yet elegant furnishings. The master bedroom is decored in black and gold, the other 4 room are decored in shades of royal blue and silver, emeralds and forest green with gold trimmings, scarlet and gold trimmings, and also hues of purples mixed with silver trimmings. The entire house looks as if its decored in a mixture or Egyptian and African artifacts. Several rare, and old items can be seen adorning the walls and shelves.
Now moving closer to the fire, you notice a figure seated in the black leather chair with her eyes closed. She appears to be asleep, her breathing slow and steady. Unbeknown to you she is not asleep, she's only meditating. Looking closer at the female figure you gasp quietly seeing a creature which looks human at first, but upon closer inspection you see she has feline features to her, much like a panthers.
Her entire body is covered in smooth, short black fur which looks soft as silk as it shimmers softly in the firelight. Her hands looks human and pawlike at the same time, her nails resemble claws on both her hands and her feet. A silkly black tail lays curled beside her and is slightly swaying. Peering at her face you see its quite panther-like. Even her ears are cat-like.
You stand there amazed then quietly ease yourself into the other chair near the fire to get warm from your journey.
A soft voice then fills the room as you hear...
"Greetings Traveler! A tale I shall tell you if you come and sit by the fire and warm yourself from your travels. Perchance you'll find it interesting enough to share amongst your friends. Shall I begin?"
You nod and await the tale to be heard as you realize it was the cat-woman who spoke. You make yourself comfortable as you can and turn to face the cat-lady as she begins to speak.
"I was born in the place my mother called Panther Haven. It was a beautiful forest we lived in at time, and I was born nearly 23 years ago. That forest now lies about a months travel from where we are now."
Kashara reaches over and picks up her glass and takes a sip of the exquisite looking wine you noticed earlier. She then continues with her tale, her golden slitted eyes seem to glow in the firelight.
"I grew up in my mothers care til I was nearly 11 years of age. During those years of my early childhood I played like any normal child, learning how to use my natural abilities of changing my form, hunting, tracking, and all the things a panther did. Sadly to say my mother died when I was 11. And since I was only raised by mother, it means I never knew my father."
"After my mothers death, I was taken in by my Uncle Belethirin. He was alright, he provided me with what I needed and soon began teaching me the art of using weapons. I learned to used a variety of weapons over the years. I was a fast learner and soon became quite good." sips her wine again then sets the glass on the table and offers some to you if you'd like some.
"Well years passed and I was around the age of 15 or so. I had mastered the use of many weapons by then and was still learning. There wasn't a day that went by that I wasn't either training or doing something involved with the guild I was in. For the guild I was in, was an assassins guild ran by a man named Gareth."
Lowers her head thinking of Gareth and sighs softly and shifts in her seat. "Well one night when I was 16, I went to see Gareth about something, and to my horror and disbelief I found him dead from a dagger through the heart." shakes her head. "I had picked up the dagger to see if there was any markings on it to tell whose it might be, but there were none. The others in the guild, even my own uncle didn't believe me when I told them I didn't kill Gareth." sighs again. Anyways after several days of investigating and interogating me they exiled me cause they couldn't prove anything. So since I was 16 I've been wandering the lands."
Drains the rest of the wine from her glass and puts it back on the table. "During the years from when I was 16 til now I wandered the lands, doing odd jobs wherever I happened to be staying at the time. Life was lonely, and hard and I longed to find myself a place of my own. Eventually I met my best friend LestatSilverFury. He's a remarkable man, one who's skilled, and has the brains to use those skills wisely and teach others. I congratulate him on his recent marriage to TrishaLynn from the clan of Gd."
"Not long after I met Lestat, and made his tavern one of my places in which I frequent most of the time, I met another wonderful, remarkable man. I won't ever forget that night." smiles thinking back on that night. "I was sitting at the bar and having a drink when all of a sudden this ghost or spirit of a man appeared. Of course at first I was startled, but knowing a spirit couldn't do me any harm, startlement turned to interest. Lestat introduced the spirit as being his long dead mentor Gozu DMorte. Lestat had told me he died defending his realm which I had found to be an honorable thing to do. Then to my surprise this spirit began to tell me I was beautiful and making me smile as if he weren't dead at all. He wished was alive again and I started wishing the same thing."
Smiles then continues. "Later on that night he was brought back to life, and on that night I found the love of my life." She didn't go into details, though she won't ever forget that night.
Looks into the fireplace again watching the flames. "So now I live not more than three miles from Lestat's tavern, and I continue to seek out the one who really killed Gareth. And catch him or her I will."
Kashara grows quiet as the tale is now over for now. She watches the stranger rise from thier seat and head out into the night feeling relaxed, refreshed and hopefully feeling pleased they heard a good tale. She closes her eyes once more as she thinks of heading to the tavern later on for a little while.
Now as the exiled assassin of a guild and an Uncle who is possibly behind the murder of Gareth, the guild leader, she waits for any information about who might of seen what really happened that horrible night when she was 16. She longed to solve the mystery of killed Gareth and set her up so that she took the blame for a crime she never commited. She is happy to live on her best friends lands and spend all the time she can with her love Gozu.
There will be more to come as Kashara's story moves on. Come back when you can to see how things develop.
