This will mark the history of my second life in this world. I am tired of existence, yet I must press onward until my duties to myself and those I hold dear are completed.
Some will mourn me once I'm gone, others will not. This is to be an account of my Revival, my life, and eventually my Demise.
-- The Awakening --
I awoke in the cold, or at least that's what I was told. My body clothed only in frost from the falling snow, I somehow made my way to the town of Frostwyre. it was over the skies of this world that their battle for the world was attempted, and it was in those skies they failed.
I was found by the innkeeper, naked and frozen in the snowfields. He took me in, clothed me, dressed my wounds and treated my frostbite. In time old strength coursed through my body once more.
I was alive, a sheer miracle, or as I view it, a curse- a Geas placed upon my eternal soul, forcing me to live on until the day that either it dies or I do.
It was by sheer happenstance that my good friend Dinare Tarselein, master creator and professor of many things was passing through town and noticed me. This is where my actual story begins.
Taking me back to her laboratory in Phantamune, she rebuilt my old weapons and armor. Taking a look upon them, they brought such painful memories I cast them back into the forge that they came from. I told Dinare to concoct a potion to change my appearance and my abilities. I found myself standing in front of a mirror as a Dark Elven Warrior, almost full-circle from the person I once was.
I began training with Chain Weapons and I found my niche in them. Advancing to the best of my abilities allowed me, I had Dinare craft me a new set of gear, specifically catered to fighting the Time Ravager.
She told me that fighting it would be suicide, that I'd been given a new lease on life only to throw it away. I had to try, so I departed from her company. That was 5 years ago.
It was in my first trip from her laboratory that I found the first piece of the puzzle. A Tremendous dragon-like shard of the Time Ravager that had somehow inherited my old Rune. Engaging it in battle I fought for hours until it lay slain at my feet. With the first obstacle behind me, I reclaimed my rune and continued off in search of the beast that stole my life from me.
-- The First Encounter --
It was almost a year later, on the same peaks of the Frostmourne Mountains that I had found myself alive that I faced the first incarnation of the Sovereign rune. it came as a cloaked figure and attempted to take my life once more. Using my own rune to counteract it's powers, I forced it backwards off the cliff and into the frozen ocean. I knew it would return to haunt me someday, but my victory still increased my confidence in my mission.
It was some time after this that I stopped by Aeran Alta to see Jessica T'Shanen. The battle against the Ravager left her a widow and mother to all of the fallen heroes' children. After telling her who I was we enjoyed each other's company long through the evening, telling stories and comforting each other through our grief. If not for her kind words and faith in god, I might not have kept fighting to this day.
Three months later the beast arose once again to attack my hometown. I met it in battle once again, however this time it had the upper hand and left me once again close to death.
-- An Old Acquaintance --
I awoke in a bed, my wounds treated and dressed. I found that it was my old friend Eldritch Shaman that had found me in Pahn and took me back to his academy. not realizing who I was I told him and he was pleasantly surprised at my survival.
For that point on I stayed at his academy, helping him train students and pick the skilled students from the mediocrities. We found none that could ever hope to stand up to the Ravager...
... that is, until the group arrived at the Academy.
While they were a rag-tag team of people that share almost nothing in common, we both could tell that the new applicants would be our warriors.
Iana, a Pixie Poison Mage and Blood Magic Enthusiast; Ezail, a follower of the god of death; Daestus Ironbeard, a dwarven warrior; Kellasyndra, a Fey follower of Shardis; Ralenn McCormick, disgruntled son of two famous cooks; Serenity, Daughter of the heroes Mia Masamichi and Matthew Lancaster; Sal, a dark elven knife fighter; and Aeirwyn a bubbly air headed cleric. All of them tied together by strings they couldn't see, woven together by fate. With time they would grow strong enough to stand against the beast.
Unfortunately we never had time.
-- The confrontation --
The beast came calling just one night after the new arrivals. He issued a warning to Shaman himself:
"I am coming for you. You have opposed us long enough. Now you can either send your students home to their loving families, or you can be responsible for hundreds of deaths."
Shaman vowed to issue the order to return home to all students, however the new recruits were the first to protest. They rushed into his office and that is where they, along with myself, did battle against the beast. Once more, my strength failed me, and I lost consciousness as my skin began to peel from my bones from it's powerful attack.
I awoke to hear that Shaman issued the word to evacuate, with the new students vowing to stay and help in our battle. With a heavy heart I accepted their offer, and prepared myself for battle once again.
-- The Loss --
When the beast came once more, it brought with it new tricks in the form of a toxin that caused horrendous mutations in the bodies of those it affects. He mutated Shaman's personal guards and they prevented us from aiding Shaman in battle.
While inexperienced, the new recruits fought bravely and we overcame the enemy. However by the time we turned to aid Shaman, the beast had finished with him, leaving him a husk of a man bleeding to death on the ground.
Losing myself to rage once more I flew at the demon with strength and hatred I had never felt before. It was in my blur of madness that Kellasyndra the young fey, happened upon a rune that completely counteracted the power of the Sovereign Rune. With it's power she expelled the beast and our battle had concluded.
In the time following the death of Eldritch Shaman, I sat in quiet contemplation and had finally come to my conclusion. I will slay this abomination. I will bring swift death to the monster that stole my friends, my family, and my life. It is a parasite on our people and cannot be allowed to exist, even at the cost of my own life.
-- Attack Plan Alpha --
Following the tragedy I found myself taking the new students to Heroes' Landing to enroll in their academy for training. It was here that I ran into Ethan and Xain Kanonik, sons of Roland and Alondrei; as well as Vincent T'shanen and his lovely girlfriend Lyran. While it was good to see them and I wished to catch up, the Sovereign decided to have another attack. It seems that it hasn't caused me enough anguish yet.
Splitting into two groups to cover time faster, the students fought their way to the center of the attack where the first manifestation of the Time Ravager was waiting. It seems like history is repeating itself. 15 years ago I fought this same creature with an entirely different sort of people.
In battle we prevailed, marking our first victory over the Ravager. In the coming hours I had decided that I would make another trip to Dinare's to tell her of my travels.
-- The Beginnings of the Trip --
When I attempted to leave, the children decided to tag along. I am both glad and burdened by this because I do not want to have more death weighing heavily on my soul. If I cannot protect them I shall never forgive myself. I've grown quite fond of them... it's sad really.
While passing through Arnell we stopped to aid in a small vampire problem and the students had their first encounter with a hostile rune: The Blue Moon Rune. It was that rune that gave some of the old heroes the weakening to their spirits. luckily most of the children escaped that fate.
Leaving the city we headed to Tarentum where the children engaged in a tournament to further their skills. It was young Vincent T'Shanen who emerged victorious. His prize was none other than the Night Rune Incarnate, the Star Dragon Sword.
While in Tarentum I found something disturbing. We were checking into the inn when we were greeted by Ethan's mother, Alondrei. How she is alive I do not know, why she is alive, I also do not know. Shaman and I tried to resurrect her. Shaman and I tried to reincarnate her. It didn't work. That THING is NOT Ethan's mother. I'll ask Dinare what she thinks about this creature, hopefully she'll know something.
It was after this all that we found our way to the dwarven Mining City of Daerna. It was here that I learned that nobody has dealt with that creature in the mines, so I have decided that with some practice it will be a great test of skill for the children.
Hopefully things will work out. Unfortunately when I hope for things, they never do.
