  ........Continued............


*As you look at this woman something becomes strikingly apparent, she is not here to fool around.  Her eyes are like black pools of water floating in the darkest depths of this earth.  Hey hair, like flowing obsidian, shines in the sun.  In her hand she toys with a rather sharp blade as she sits up and gazes at you with eyes that seem to pierce straight through to you soul....and they do.  She speaks*
============================================================

  I see you have met my sister Shadowyn, well do not get us confused.  I am here for one reason, to clear the path for my eldest sister, Maevalia.  Im sure Shadow told you the basic story.  I am not what you would call human, though I do have emotions, thoughts and goals of my own.  I can do all the same things you can do, but I was summoned from the darkness of creation for one purpose...
  Shadowyn and I are a pair, forged from our sister's times of dire need when she was left to fend for herself.  We sprang from her mind when she pleaded to the spirits to release her from this world, to end her pain.  I am Rayvinn, sister of Shadow, the side of Mae that keeps her always strong.  The spirits sent Shadowyn and I to guide and protect Mae, for she must go on.
  She will not change the world, but the changes she is destined to bring will change the lives of many of those she loves and cares for.  The spirits have seen this and though she does not know it herself, they have blessed her and marked her path for us, we simply need to walk her down it.
  As Shadow was born in Mae's time of need, I was from the intense helplessness she felt during a winter day.  She had just come to know her shaman family in this strange land but the visions of her young life kept coming back and all she could picture was her mother Vevina...telling her to run from all she knew.  Something in her snapped and she cried
out the the spirits to release her from this pain.  When they did not answer she climber the top of the great mountain in Vale and threatened to end her own pain.  
The spirits grew angry and a great storm covered the top of the mountain.  They sent a bolt of lightening to singe the ground in front of her as a warning.  With a bright flash she toppled backward and hit her head on a rock, knocking her unconscious.  When she awoke, I stood before her and she started to cry.
  "I do not know where my path is to lead and I do not know if I have the strength to let go of those I love again..."  She screams at me and attacked me but I held her tiny wrists in my hands and glared at her.
  "Forget your own fears love, do not be afraid to live this life that you have been blessed with for it is a gift and you are surely wasting it thinking only of yourself!"
   I slapped her hard across the face and she gasped and stared up at me...but I was gone.  She was left looking over the edge of the cliff at the sun that was rising, and as she massaged her cheek she smiled softly.  "So this is why I am living..."
*at this point Ray hurls her dagger at your feet and you shudder as it hums in the earth near your big toe, a bead of sweat slips down your face and she laughs*
 You see then?  I am here for one purpose, to be Mae's shadow, to strike out at her enemies, or at least steer them clear of her.  I am Emrys. Immortal.
