You are tiny for an Elothean.

A square-cut glacier emerald is positioned between your eyes, glowing with a lustrous sheen against your skin.

Your abdomen has a tattoo of a leering alfar avenger leaning casually on his blade, surrounded by the bodies of fallen foes.

Where to start.. where to start....

In the year of 362, sometime in the third month an elothean baby was born.. There was nothing special about this babe, only that she was one of a few hundred dropped upon the steps of the orphanage. They say she was a quiet thing, who watched everything and when the lady from the orphanage opened the door and looked down, she saw this very solemn silent baby with a note tacked to her swaddlings ... her name is Heartsfyre, for she will be the heart of a land one day.. The lady of the orphanage looked upon this baby as yet another lost soul dropped off upon her steps... she noticed all the blood and gore still upon this babe as if the babe was taken... so she gave the baby a surname.. Elota'a'Milyo (child of blood) and the babe was so forth called Heartsfyre Elota'a'Milyo.

During her years at the orphanage, Heartsfyre was a very shy and unassuming child. She was always picked upon, but was never a taddle tale which in turn the other kids left her alone eventually. She was the one to always find hurt creatures and make little stints and braces for them to help the poor things.. The lady now the head mistress of the orphange always kept a blind eye to Heartsfyre, always letting her go her own way.. Heartsfyre was not one to draw to much attention to herself so she pretty much stayed in the background.. watching those kids and adults around her..

In the year of 374, when Heartsfyre was only 12 years old, the headmistress of the orphanage gave Heartsfyre a pack of clothing, a book, enough food for three days and a stylus, and told Heartsfyre.. "You must go out into the world now young one, you must now make your own way.. you have been a very quiet child which I am thankful, but it also disturbs me on how quiet you are. I cannot afford to keep you any longer, but here is a small tip.. seek ye a guild to join, they may be more forgiving of you and as will life." She hugged Heartsfyre, patted her on the head and gently pushed her out the door. Firmly closing it she let a single tear fall and slowly walked away.. Letting her charges go at this time was hard but she had to do what was best for the orphanage..

Heartsfyre slowly walked away from the orphanage.. leaving behind her first life as a child, to seemingly walk into her second life as an adult.. Or so she thought..

Entering upon the streets of RiverCrossings, she noticed all the noise, all the traffic, all the people.. such many races of people in one single town.. Her daydream of the streets and her innocence was quickly shattered when a small rogue snatched her bundle from her very grasp and quickly darted off into the crowd.. her cry of surprise attracted one of a lesser demeanor, quickly snatching her arm, he appraised her quickly and muttered to himself.. a pretty lass you are.. you will make a good slave.. Her eyes widened and then she started to struggle hard against his grip.. until finally with a great heaving yank she was free! She stalled a second in surprise and then ran pell nell for safety.. any safety..

Running into this building, she quickly closed the door and turned around. And what she saw was this one lady.. who just gazed at her solemnly, and then with a gentle smile she walked up to Heartsfyre and gently took her to her study. "Hello there young one.. I see the streets of Crossings hasn't changed one iota" the lady laughs softly to herself.. and then seemingly to remember she had a guest she tsked to herself and offers the young Heartsfyre a cup of tea.. "Here young one, drink this, it will sooth you" Heartsfyre takes the offered cup and starts to sip it slowly, her body relaxing.. the lady then says softly
