An article that I wrote for a role playing group.

Born Evil-Raised Good

Retold by Samant

When I was asked to write an article for the Tronicia Times, I debated what to write about.  So many things going on to chose from.  So I decided to let you readers in on more about my life and how it feels to be the way I am, or should I say the way I was.

I am one of Black Shadow King’s daughters.  I don’t know how many he had before me and I don’t know how many he had after.  My mother, Helena, was original good.  She married “Lysander”.  Lysander was the name BSK went under to seduce my mother.  When my mother found out who Lysander really was, she was bound to keep any kids she had by him away.  So when she found out she was pregnant with me, she tried to keep it to herself.  When dad realized that she might be pregnant, he started making plans for me.  When I was born, my mother asked two of my half-brothers, Mannheim and Zyzzyva, to take me to a friend of her family.  So they did.  I don’t know what dad did when he found out about what mom did…I never found out.

The oldest wizard raised me.  I didn’t know him by any other name.  Everyone called him the oldest wizard, including me.  I always thought of him as my real father, granted he was old.  I wondered how he kept up with me when I was young.  When I was growing up, something bothered me.  I was the only wizard to have a sort of symbol on my hand.  When I was six I asked the oldest wizard about he.  He looked at the symbol.  He said he’d tell me about it when I was older and would be able to understand and cope from the information.  A few months later he died.  It was said that he died of old age.  For a few years I thought I was the one to blame, him being old and I so young, making him have energy he really didn’t have.  So I never did find out what the symbol meant from the oldest wizard.

At the age of six when the oldest wizard died I was attending a ‘boarding’ school, that’s what they were called.  I was home on a break when he died.  Seeing as how I had no place to stay, I started living at the school.  When I turned twelve, I was sent to a different school where I meet Alric, Kiya, Jon, and Gandof.  The five of us became friends and did things together.  I stayed at this school till I was fifteen.  From there I went on to another school for older children.  Alric, Kiya, Jon and Gandof came also.  During the time at the school we couldn’t wait to be done and out on our own.   Kiya ran away from home when she was fourteen.  We didn’t see much of her.  When she was sixteen she went to a special school for healers.    We ‘graduated’ from the school for older children when we were seventeen.  Kiya would visit us on her breaks from school, so we didn’t loose touch with her.  Jon, Gandof, and I moved into a house together, seeing at that time I being a woman couldn’t own a house by myself.  Jon and I started having feelings for each other.  The same was happening to Kiya and Alric.  There were even plans of marriage in the picture for them.

As months passed I started seeing less of Jon, he’d go away for long periods of time.  I never knew when he’d be home.  Then a stranger came into town looking for a dragon slayer.  His name was Eternal.  Eternal was seeking Kain in revenge of his father.  So knowing that Eternal didn’t have a place to stay, I let him stay at the house I was sharing with Gandof and Jon.  Eternal and I came close as Kiya and Alric’s relationship started to die.  Alric was sending me letters about the relationship.  And even though he loved Kiya, he didn’t think she loved him, that and he had found someone else.  I was sorry to hear that the relationship between them was dying.  But as long as both of them were happy in the decision.

There were a few strange things that happened after Eternal arrived.  One of those being Kain.  When Kain found out that Eternal was in love with me, he tried to use me as bait.  The first thing he did was cut my chest with a message for Eternal.  Aeuroch, the soul sucker, eventually killed Kain.  But I’ll get more into Aeuroch, Orion comes first.  Orion, my son, came from the future to kill me.  He came to stop me from having his sister (who has yet to be born).  He also came to kill me for letting “them” take him.  I was able to talk to him and convince him that I didn’t let “them” take him.  Then when I had that settled he turned back into young Orion, the Orion before “them”.  Then came Aeuroch.  I tried to forget about him so I don’t even remember his reason for coming to Tronicia.  Though what I do remember…is that he took control of Gandof’s body and took Orion’s soul.

When Jon finally came back from his trip he was a little mad to find someone had found the way into my heart like he had.  But he was more sadden by the fact that my feelings for him had changed.  I didn’t love him the way I used to.   After I broke up with Jon, Eternal was very supportive and was there when I needed a shoulder to cry on.  After a month or two had pasted Eternal asked me to marry him.  He wondered if I could ever love a revenge seeking fool.  I said I could because I did.  From there we started deciding how to go about things.  Everyone was happy for us.

One night we decided we didn’t want to wait and have a big wedding.  We headed to the hills and had the oldest dwarf wed us.  We spent the night there in the hills with the dwarfs.   A few weeks later I realized I was pregnant with Orion.  Orion was born during Fool’s Week.  He’s now 5 months old.  Eternal and I grow closer together as the days past.  I don’t think I’d change my life, it seems to be working out for the good.

So there you have it you now know more about my life and what happened.  I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about my life and me.
