Silent and deadly. She hides in the darkness, and rarely speaks. Only few
have heard her voice, only the closest near her. Her fury is like fire, and
burns with a passion. Her dedication is to the people of her land and seeks to
slay those who seeks to oppress and murder the common citizen. She is an
experienced assassin, openly taking hits on Nangen nobles, and Foreigners if
they stray to near her land. The recent treaty in Nagnang has stirred up her
wrath against the ministry of nobles the wish to barter a treaty with her
people's murderers and oppressors.
I met Morteus at a meeting of a local Nangen rebel faction. I at that time was a
rising star in its ranks, becoming a leader in my own right. I was introduced to
Morteus at this meeting by a mutual friend. Their name will remain untold, as it
is not necessary. I was my usual stubborn self, at this meeting, refusing to
speak, when introduced to the strange blind druid with a raven upon his
shoulder. I had no need for such a weak person, a neutral. I thought of him as
weak, like all his kin. I did not know him though.
A strange spark of some kind must have been lit in him. Our second meeting
occurred in a rather informal meeting. A clash broke out between some northern
scum and a few of the rebels that I belonged to. I was severely wounded in this
battle, allowing one of those brutal savage Buyans to severely injure me, a
lucky blow, and was lying bleeding outside the city walls. Unfortunately, the
battle turned out to be somewhat of a stale mate, until that strange Druid
arrived, the one with the raven on his shoulder. Since then, I have always
wondered, why did he come at that time, and how did he know? Questions I still
seek an answer to, and in time hope to learn.
I am getting side tracked again. I was lying wounded, at the brink of death,
when he arrived. He let loose a horde of strange beasts, assailing the few
remaining allies and enemies of mine that stood in his path. He saw me, singled
me out. As I was on the verge of unconsciousness, and my soul was beginning to
drift, I saw a hand reach towards me into me, grabbing a hold of that which I
was about to loose. He muttered a few words, and grabbed a hold of my spark that
held my soul to my body, and renewed it.
I live today. I devoted my body and life to that strange man with the raven on
his shoulder. My spirit still burns, and will always burn, to free our nation,
and conquer our conquerors. I still live to break those dogs that made us their
slaves, here in Nagnang, and slay the traitorous Prince, for allowing this to
happen.
The strange man with the raven on his shoulder told me about a group of people,
a group of beings, that he was head of, he requested my services. I never knew
where this would lead, but I had devoted myself to him. I let him become a
confidant, and he did me. I joined that organization and our relationship became
something more than what I had ever thought possible. He appointed me his wife
and lady of his house, Moranus.
