I used to be in a small village in poverty.
My Mother and father loved all 10 of us very well. There was 9 girls
and 1 boy. I was the oldest out
of all of them. When it happened I was 17. What happen you ask? When
i was 17 a slave raid was done on the village. I could hear
them coming. Coming for me and my sisters. I
got a knife from out kitchen and went to my sisters and killed them
one by one. When i was
getting ready to plunge the knife into my own chest they broke the
door down. They immediately took the knife from my hands and
took me as I was the only one left alive in
my house. They knocked me out as I was struggling with the guards.
The next thing I knew I was at a slaves
auction. I was sold for a minimal price, to a really nice Master,
but unfortunately he caught the plague and died. The guards came once they heard of
his death and once again sold me, but this Master was mean. He beat
me everyday because he would feel like it. He did as he wished with me
unlike my former Master.
I ran
away several times from him but he would somehow always find me.
What I found out later is that he knew to use magic very well. I ran away I believe if I remember right
it was a total of 7 times in 2 yrs. I tried and tried to get away
from him. But to no
avail. Finally he said that he would let me free only if he could
take a token to remember me by. Of course i said yes but I did not
think he would take what he took. I thought
he would take a lock of my hair or a bracelet or something like
that. No, that is not what he took at all. He took my eye sight. That is right I, I
Spirit Darkthorne, is blind at the tender age of only 22. I dealt
with this though it took me a few days to get used to it.
I wandered the forest for about 2 days
before I came across a clearing. I went through the clearing and met
a man by the name of Kamhal. He picked me up to go to the nearest Inn or
Tavern. Which happened to be called "The BlueStar Tavern" in which
is my home today. I went wandering after a good nights
rest and a great meal.
I fell upon the Red Dragon Inn where I
met a man by the name of Ruhn. He was a pirate but he had a certain
charm about him....well at first. We hit it off quickly. I took him back to the
tavern. Soon he began to speak harshly to me and a couple of time he
struck me. Soon I became very afraid of him, though I continued my
relationship.
I met the Captain of his ship Captain
Bludworth and a ship mate of his Flounder Boyd. Boyd was quite nice
to me. He got me drinks and such, and he got me this beautiful bracelet. It was not
soon after that, I realized that he was trying to get me from Ruhn.
But by that time, well I didn't care. I wanted someone who was going
to treat me well and Ruhn was not cutting it. So, yes I did leave
and yes I did get married....i left Ruhn and married Boyd. Oh he was
so furious when he found out. But I didn't care, I was very happy
with Boyd. One day
Ruhn found Boyd and the Captain in the Inn by themselves and he
attacked Boyd. Boyd didn't have a chance against Ruhn and
Ruhn killed Boyd.
Well, that devastated me. I thought my life
would end right then and there. My husband was dead. My life was
turned upside down. So when I found this out I immediately moved to the forest
from the Sea Rose, our ship. I would come to the Red Dragon Inn
every once in a while to eat and drink, then go back to the forest
to stay away from everyone else. One afternoon I went into the Inn
to look for a dear friend, Nihr. Upon entering, getting food and drink, this
man would come up to me. Later I would find out that he would be the
worst thing that ever happened to me in my life.
He was one of the 3 Draven brothers. Though now trying to recall
their names, I cannot. But anyway I shall press on.
The first Draven brother offered me a place
to stay, but when I went to his castle I found out he wanted my
"services " as well. So in the state I was I really didn't care. I became his wench for a
place to stay. Through all of this, I did not know I was carrying a
child. Though I
found out soon after.
The Captain came to me one day when I was
visiting the Inn and told me that Boyd had been brought back to
life, but he didn't remember me a 'tall. I was outraged but knew why she had done
it. I took him to the BlueStar Tavern, he had spent a night there
with me before. I tried and tried for hours to make him remember me, and
finally after many hours had passed, I have given up all hope and
thrown my bracelet that he had given to me at him.
Well, I guess that jogged his memory enough to were he at least knew
my name and knew that we
were married. We went from there, I told him that I was carrying a
child but I didn't know if it was his or if it was Ruhn's. He was
happy that he might be having a child. It
didn't last very long. Ruhn found out that Boyd knew who I was so
once again he killed him, brutally.
When that occurred I began staying at the
Draven Manor once more. While I was staying there, the second Draven
brother came to visit. By this time I had my son and immediately knew whom
the father was. Ruhn was the father.
Once this was figured out I was devastated
all over again for I had found out that Rose was pretending to be me
and Ruhn's fiancee Shi had
killed her and stolen her soul because she thought Rose to be me. So
now I knew that I had to stay here in the Draven Manor.
The second Draven brother was a little more
kinder than the other two turned out to be. But in tell you why he
came there, well someone had poisoned his brother, the first Draven
brother. I was the number one suspect. I didn't do it, and I believe
the second brother believed me. But I was going to have
to go see their King anyway. I pleaded with him not to go. So he
said that he would go himself. Well, he left to go see the King. I was left
there at home with the baby. When a third Draven brother came to the
manor. He was all right, he was the most passionate of
them all in bed.
Yes, think what you want but I needed things
and wasn't getting hem anywhere else. Soon the second brother came
back and he was....acually going to take me as a wife. We all got
together, Nihr, Wynters the second Draven brother and the third. But
a fight broke out between the two and the third killed the second
in a struggle for a dagger. I then looked down at that dagger and
watched the blood run
from the second brothers body. Pulling the dagger out, I looked at
the blood staining my hands and just well had a moment that I
just went crazy and I stabbed him over and
over and over until his death.
Nihr took care of Wynters when she came
towards me. We both them washed up in a small lake outside. We then
went back to the Red Dragon Inn and had a drink. There I met a man by the name
of Ryu. We conversed for a while and getting along pretty well.
Though he did not know of my past. We became instant
friends, much the way Nihr and I did. But before even that
conversation was over I was attacked by....well to this day I do not know what it was
all I know is that is attacked me something horrible, it left scars
across my back as well as claw mark scars across my face. When Nihr
saw them he was angry. Though he healed them for me. So I never
really went around him again unless I had Nihr with me to protect me.
Oh my Goddess, he has saved my butt more than once, I just wish
after all the years that we have been friends that I
could have done the same for him. Maybe I will one day. Maybe one
day I will be able to show him
how much his friendship means to me.
Well, after all of that drama my life cooled
down a bit and I was able to come back OT the Blue Star Tavern. I
learned from my past to just stay there. I have seen Ruhn a few times and his
child, he is taken care of by the loving Angel Xyle, whom takes care
of the other children as well in the tavern. I go out into the field
every now and again with Maximus and sit in the fresh flowers, with
the warmth of the
sin touching my skin, and the scents that come in through the
afternoon breezes are just delightful.
One day I was out there, sitting in the
field enjoying myself when Maximus caught someone watching me. He
then walked up and introduced himself, his name was Diego. Though we did not
get to talk long. I can still remember the sensual sound of his
voice, the scent that came from his body as he got
close to me.
My life after that was pretty much a blur. I
mean I would go out every now and then but other than that nothing
much really happened to me.
Until one day Diego came back to the Tavern....he came back for me.
I couldn't believe it when I heard those words come from his
mouth. He felt the same as I, and he came
back for me. Well, to bring you up to date. He stays with me in the
tavern now and just recently he has asked me to marry him. And of course I
have said yes.
