Cherone Starphoenix One day in the dark of night, in a field of green, I; Cherone Starphoenix was laying down gazing at the stars and the moons in the heavens. I had been there for days after the death of my Prydaen parents. To understand where I was going, I need to tell where I came from. Before my birth, my parents, two very proud prydaens lived happily in the prydaen lands. My parents told me of the most horrendous story you can imagine. They talked of the beautiful place our ancestors came from. Then the awful day when the evil necromancer came, by the name of Lyras and with her powers killed our families and made them into the undead. My parents having no children newly wed, ran from our lands to the strange lands of the east. After passing the barrier; my parents hid for days, eating only what they could find, just barely surviving. That was when my mother realized she was pregnant. This knowledge made them very sad and happy at the same time. Because in this new land, the prydaen people who fled out of our lands were being hunted as common beasts. My parents hid out until after my birth; they then took me in search of a home, a place where we could be safe and make a place for ourselves. I grew quickly, but we still didn't have a home, running in fear of being killed. When I was about 5 years old, when my parents were out finding food. I watched at a distance, while hunters tortured and killed my parents. I ran; I don't know how far, I just know I ran till I could run no more and that is where my story begins. In this field of green; I gaze up into the sky and here it is that I know what I want to do with my life. I have seen people in my youth that do different things. But one profession caught my attention. I am still too scared to get too close, but I will. I want to be a great Moon mage. I want to be one of the mysterious people that have strong magic, I have watched them from a distance. Crawling from hiding spot to hiding spot to observe. I joined the Moon mage guild and now I seek wisdom from the elder mages and I am growing stronger. I am seeking higher learning from those that came before me. I met a real nice Human named Maliah; she fed me and gave me a home. She has a large family; with lots of children. The prydaens are no longer hunted and I am now in this family cause Maliah adopted me as her sister and her children call me auntie. I have gotten close to many of them; one in particular, named Kiratu, I spent all my time with because she was so much like me. Many of my children have gone on their own way: Kiratu and her husband Bordric; also Iceis, but they will forever be in my heart. I have other children: Tarrugar, who immediately grasped my heart and Markhor who daily makes me very proud as he increasingly gains knowledge and gets stronger. At this time I do not have a mate; I have been getting to know a wonderful warrior by the name of Dragoonseal that I spend time with but we are not bonded. I spend my days helping new ones who
find their way to the crossings, being with family, hunting and growing
in my profession. |
