Through a forest you walk, and you notice your in the depths of it, you can see nothing but trees of pine, oak, birch, hickory and ash. As your dulled senses increase you become aware you're near a small stream. To your left flows a larger, faster stream than the one your currently near. Seeing no other way to go, unless you wish to cross the small stream you turn towards the right and walk that way for about 3 leagues. As you walk through this forest, you realize a clearing is opening up before you.
Actually its a grove...the trees in the midst appear to cast a shadow from the sun in the shape of a dragon at rest. Ahead in the shadows you see a rocky outcropping as you pass the trees. Walking up to the entrance, you see its a cavern made into a rather nice home. My friend you've arrived at the home of AlaraAsteaMelanthaMalana..or best known to her friends as Melantha.
Melantha who is a golden dragon, was born in Aradorin, where she lived in a mountain home until she was ten along with her parents Segarrasantha, her mother, and GeteaMalartha, her father. Her mother, was a beautiful golden dragon with deep reddish hues to her scales, while her father was a handsome bronze colored dragon. She lost them both when she was ten,along with the other 30 dragons who lived in the mountain. After she buried them and said a prayer for them sometime later she was captured by the evil mage who had killed her family and everyone she knew.
She was held captive in his castle tower of darkness until she was about 19, one evening in a surprise attack she killed the dark mage who had tortured her too many times for her to even remember. During those years he drained all her magical power from her which was excrucitatingly painful as the physical torture. After she killed him, with a dagger through the heart, she ran and escaped the dark castle that was her prison for 9 long years.
For the next three years she wandered through the lands of Avanol teaching herself the arts of magic all over again and regaining her powers back. One night she stumbled upon the Wayward Inn..and there she met and made some very good friends and found herself a home, and a place to belong in the world. After many fun adventures and some months later she heard that the dark mage whom she'd killed 3 years back was alive. He had been raised up through the powers of necromancy.The dark mages name was Praekon.
After enduring some more torture and being cursed to appear as a half dragon/half human she eventually killed him again with a knife she'd gotten from her elven friend that kills the undead. Now with Praekon dead and his castle destroyed..the curse breaks when she finds a pendant, as soon as she touched it she returned her to her normal form.
For some time all is well until a man called WyreMan, who is a shapeshifter, tells her the pendant is stolen and that she must give it up or it'll burn her flesh and cause her pain . She is wary of the warning but doesn't give it up at first, so again the WyreMan comes and persists for the pendant, though this time when he tried to take the pendant, upon touching it, he turned her friends into forest critters for a short time. Eventually, on another quest, she gave in and returned the pendant to the elder of the WyreFolk village and she doesn't have to endure the weakness the pendant causes her when someone is transformed and again for a time all is well.
Then Dralan shows up, he's a black dragon, and he tells Melantha he's the one behind everything. The deaths of her parents and dragonkin, her torturing and pain. He was behind it all. He says he forced her parents to sign a betrothal contract before they died and now because she won't marry him she's cursed again to be a half dragon/half human. Now she searches for a way to break the curse a second time and become a full dragon once more.
Nearly a year later, and things are fairly still the same. Melantha helps her friends out on the quests, still tries to find Dralan, so she can be rid of her curse. On one of her quests, she was blessed with Emmy, her adopted daughter now. She's a human child, but she has brought nothing but joy to Mel. Other events in Mel's life in the past year have brought her joy as well and she couldn't be happier. She's actually used to her cursed form, though she longs to find Dralan and kill him. No matter how long it takes her, she's determined to succeed.
Well friends its been a while, and much has happened to Melantha in recent weeks. Too make a long story short, she's divorced her husband Draco, and became a single mother. Though to extreme and ultimate surprise, a dear close male friend, made his long hidden emotions known to her. I won't mention any names as of yet, but those who know me best also know of whom I speak. He's called Krybeli, or Kry by most who know him. He'a vapmire incubus and he's incredibly handsome. And yes I feel the same way that he does about me. He was there when no one else was, along with my other friends. And to my dearest friend, and now my love, let me say that I do love you.
Adventure wise it has been hellacious, but fun. Mel and her elven friend Kristrel, have been on some dangerous, but fun excursions. Suspense, intrigue, danger, spying, lots of laughs, some sadness, and a whole slew of other things happened in the past few weeks. Mel was captured, and then tortured for a night by Dralan, only to get rescued by Kris, who happened to find her unconcious, beaten and broken body laying in the forest.
It took some time for Mel to heal, but with the support of her friends, she pulled through all the physical injuries. Emotionally is still a challenge at times. She's mostly back to normal, but some things stir up bad memories, and sometimes she has flashbacks. It's only been about two week since the torturing, so things are still fresh in Mel's mind.
Also the two of them have grown closer together almost like sisters, though they are of different races, it matters not to Mel. Her friends and her children are the only family she now has. The last three days were fun as well. Kris and Mel traveled to another part of the land of Avanol and went on a scouting mission of their own. Which of course was successful. And last, but not least, the curse has been lifted from Mel in a rather unexpected way. Tempos, the God of Chaos, provided Mel with a potion that would cure her of the curse as a reward during a recent quest. Mel and her friends had to fight off some zombies to get to a temple and solve a riddle, but after a successful quest it was well worth it all.
