’,~ Terenia Delamay, adopted daughter of Arionchui.~’,~
I, Terenia, am the last heir to the decease family of the Delamay.My mysterious past ancestors had grounded their origins in the unheard lands of the East, past the Ilbon Sea. I have always known it as ‘Dergart’. An ancient land where I was born lived and lost.
From my birth I was designated to a wing of the mystic Order of Seldayan, regrouping the eight gifted families of the land, there I learned in the cluster of a citadel what I now grasp. Our talents also brought us a perverse hate and envy from the populace and under strict decree were we to keep away from the nearby communities. Due to the restriction, my childhood was spent between the tight rings of relative, peaceful days.
At the age of Twenty-five, I reached maturity and was permitted to stray away from the studies and rich libraries of the family mansion. Wise of a thousand book, in the age of marriage and with the curiosity of a child, I started off into the world as a stranger to my own land.
I traveled from one corner of the world to the other, from horse to sail ship, following the tracks of my deceits ancestor. My innocent
years were filled with the most exciting adventure one could ever
dream,
Unfortunately such thing never last eternally. After a short passage to ancient ruins, the elder called me back to duty.
From the north an invading army had made it’s way to heart of the land, near our sanctuary.
That crisis time I named ‘The Shadow’ where nearly all Seldayan’s were annihilated. I was forced to take the sea to escape the slavery and murder that had set over the once calm soil. Suffering a cruel destiny, my ship sunk during the voyage and brought me unconscious to the shore of the Ilbon region.
Exhausted of a merciless life,
at the end of my hopes,
I would have died if not for a good spirit that found me.
Arionchui stumbled upon me, took me under her care. In her home
in the kingdom of Buya I met her husband, the bright-hearted Warik. We shared the same table and roof for a long while, the talents of Arionchui serving well to heal my will.
Slowly I became well again, but the last season spent with the loving couple made me see that I had no reason to move when fate had taken me where my life truly was. My decision was taken, and to the joy of Arionchui and Warik, I pledged them to be their daughter.
Under the guidance of my proud mother I visited her sister, Carlein. I was struck with awe for the role as Muse of my aunt. Even now I recall the nights I ran to the Muse garden to watch the amazing plays and performance. Soon after that time, Carlein took me under her wings to evolve in what I so enjoyed. Still, even when I had found happiness, the Courcelle managed to bring more. Warik and Arionchui by a tour-de-force brought me into the hems of the Lost kingdom where I came to understand my soul of honour, courage and perseverance.
Of course, I would never have been here was it not for the undying love of Arionchui.
A love that has given me what I now cherish more than anything...
A family.
