 My childhood was never Roses. I remember my parents were always sad and crying as my brother Zurvan was taken from him not long after he was born. After my parents died, a man who was a friend of my fathers took me in, but I vowed to continue my mother's search for my brother.

 The man that took me in was Rastigate, a master of necromancy. I told him about my vow so he said he'll make me his apprentice. I studied day and night wanting to learn as much as possible.

 One day while the master was gone for a while, the servant came into the library to clean while I was studying. I was told I was never to speak to her unless I needed something cleaned, but I defied my orders and spoke to her and asked questions to find as much as I cold about her. I thought she was a great person and we became close friends. I now consider Kirana to be my sister.

 We played games together in secret which always made her happy and take her mind off the pain from her injuries she received when the master punished her for not have her jobs done to his standards which are unfortunately ever high. But one day we got caught and were severely punished. I wanted to leave but I couldn't leave without Kirana. Everyday there was a form of punishment of punishment of some sort.

 Then one day I was sent on an errand. I knew I had to tell someone what was happening and to get Kirana to safety. When I came home, I found the master dead. I felt lost, didn't know where to go, what to do. I was only 15 years old. I needed him to tell me what do  next. But Kirana and I escaped from his world, escaped the castle and from the man I hated so much, but needed.

 We wandered to different places and came across Vordan. I met many people, especially a woman named Zephy, Commander of the Vordan Knights. She took me on as her squire. As I trained, I met a man named Morlass Le Shadow, also a knight. We married soon after and we had 3 beautiful children, Ayla, Martyn and Jordus. I was hoping that my life would be happy, but was it?

 No I wasn't, my life was filled with worry and stress. I was looking after the children alone while Morlass was always away, then when i was knighted, I also had my duties to Vordan on top of that. With Morlass always making jokes about how I looked and what I did, it made me feel less a wife and more a slave.

 One day as I was studying I met a man who I felt a strong bond to drawing me to him. I soon found out her was my long lost brother Zurvan. but he didn't believe it or trusted me, after many months of pain and hurt, he began to accept it and call me sister.

 Kirana left Vordan after Sparhawke her husband died with her son Michel leaving me alone with my child while Zurvan was away for something I didn't know about. my family also moved soon after to Monan where Morlass and I were offered positions in their army which we accepted. This meant Morlass would be away like he always was when we were in Vordan.

 This finally took it's toll after one day my home was attacked by two men, while I defended my children and home, a third man set my home on fire. The distraction was enough to allow me to kill the two men while the other man ran away. By the time I got Ayla and Martyn out, it was too late to save Jordus. I found him dead in his cot. I made my way out, but a burning log fell on my legs tripping me. I managed get outside with burns to my body. with the help of Ayla I managed to get everyone to the Island of Malgavita to get help from Azrael, a dear friend who I was becoming close to. He healed me and took me into his home. With Zurvan away, he was the only one I could trust with my life.

 After that day I vowed never to fight again but use my use all my energy into my family. I became closer to Azrael which Zurvan didn't like as he felt he isn't worthy of me. But I knew I loved Azrael so with my brother not talking to me, I told Az about my feelings, finding out he felt the same for a long time.

 We married and are expecting the birth or our sons Eoghen and Brennan. I am finally happy, I have everything I need thanks to the man I devote my life to...... Azrael.
