It all started many eons ago........
 |
Blazen
was born into her mortal world the only child of an aristocratic
family at the height of the Roman Empire in 112AD. Here, in an ancient
civilazation enjoying rare peace and prosperity under the rule of Emporers
Trajan and Hadrian...she was named Hayvena Severa, she was the light and
joy of her family. Having a wealthy father serving to the magistration,
she enjoyed great priviledges of education and literacy unusual for women
in those times, as her father lacked the son he had hoped for and intended
those attentions towards his |
| daughter. |
|
| Wandering
from the festivites of a week of games in the city, she came upon a woman
in the market, selling intricate beads and jeweled hairpins. Always
appreciative of the art and beauty among the works of others...she was
drawn into the tent of this woman |
 |
enticed by her wares. There...she
found a treasure unlike any other she knew existed...in the arms of this
woman who crooned to her of pleasures forbidden, of a life she dreamed
of....immortal...free forever....and it was to this she succumbed like
a moth to a flame.
After
that, she travelled with the woman, known as Crimson, in circles
of aristocracy and endless festivites...exploring all the mediterrain and
it's luxuries, arts, education, philosophies. The sciences of Galen
and Gallileo, the conquests and defeats of warring within successions of
empires and religions following the fall of Rome. But she was not
the only one. Entwined with everyday life was a deeper, darker world.
Of creatures unimagined to the human spirit, who walked undetected among
humankind. Those like her with the lust for blood and adventure....those
who learned to thrive
 |
off the kill, needing humanity
not only for livelihood, but as
entertainment and amusement.
She flourished in this new life...craddled within the security of a family
founded upon the bonds of a sect of woman calling themselves "The sisterhood"
who were reverred by most...feared by some...and wanted by all. She
was renamed "Blazen" in circumspect to her firey mane of hair and her temperment.
It suited her well, and all came to know her as such. |
Blazen
came to love each and every one of them despite strife and betrayal, through
the tumults of history in the Dark Ages and ensuing medievil culture.
Feircely she defended and honored her sisters, and by the fear of gods
should
one run for their lives, when crossing her in this matter. Although
some have left her realm or disappeared to persue their own lives...Blazen
still holds her sisters close to this day.
| She
has had her share of loves in her time....although none so as haunting
as her last. She met her beloved Ckthonick whilst riding in the woods
one night to enjoy a frolick among the dark underground. Coming from
the courts of Elizabeth I, she was exhilarated and carefree riding with
abondon and without caution, wild hair flowing free from it's constraints
as the fashion of the day demanded. When her horse skitted and flung
her from it's back...frightened by an innate sense of self preservation
to flee in a return to safer stables, she was thrown from it's back. |
 |
Vexed....she sat among a puddle
of mudded waters from the recent rains to curse her horse in a most unladylike
fashion, her colorful words halted as she was plucked uncerimiously into
the lap of a large stranger upon a steed of demon red eyes. Yet meeting
the amber eyes of her rescuer, she knew not the threat of her foolish mare,
just a solid sense of calm as they wordlessly rode the rest of the way
to the place of meeting for those creatures of the night. Taking
her back into the streets of Old London, he told her that he had been sent
by her sister to retrive her among her nocturnal flights as she was unforgivingly
late and many worried as to her absence.
 |
From
that day forth Ckthonick and Blazen were drawn to one another with such
a force it could not be denied. His was the nature of the Dark Angel,
and it was mysterious and enigmatic in comparison to hers. Ckthonick
himself was just as impressive in appearance, beholding sharp amber eyes,
leathery wings the length of a tavern room to support his size, and talons
deadly .enough to protect him and those he considered his own. Thiers
was the embodiment of love that any seek lifetimes for. True soulmates
in every way although |
their temperments sparked and challenged
one another on numerous occasions. Such was the fire and passion
that they lived with each other, a day never wasted in one another's arms.
Together they loved with the intensity of a blue flame for hundreds of
years. Their union made famous as he embraced her into the ways of
the Dark Angel, and she was made complete.
But
alas...as in nature what lives must also die....for their union was to
be cut short unexpectedly. Ckthonick prepared to ride off one night
in summons from help by his brother to protect family lands more than a
weeks journey away. Kissing the nectar upon her lips and threading
strands of ruby hair glistening in firelight
| thru his fingers, he promised
to return promptly...as he always did on such journies. And suspecting
no danger she loved him fully that night, before the mantle, before he
crept from her warmth to ride off, gone in the morning light when she awoke.
But he never came back. Ever. Years she spent overcome in anguish,
refusing to leave the home they had made despite the desperate pleadings
from her family, afraid to leave should he return. |
 |
When the years came and went...turned into eons...and the house crumbled
with age around her....she finally allowed herself to travel her own path
once again....as she did before. And this is where she is to this
day.
| Over
time she has blossomed into a woman of confidence and self-suffinciency.
Her manner is aloof at times...showing the characteristics of her aristocratic
ancestry. Most who are allowed close to her have proven their worth
in some ways, her trust a reward for earnedness. The years have hardened
her innocence somewhat...and she is suspicious in nature. Yet past
the hot exterior lays a creature with a tender heart, and a loyaly unsurpassed
in its bounds. To cross her is to fear her. To know her is
to love her. |
