From Sorrow Came An Angel...

The Story of White Raven Angel



From sorrow came an angel..
Her wings of burnished white
To never know a stranger
To spread a blinding light..
To touch a heart with laughter..
To search the world for love.
Soar high, escape the shadows..
Fly high, to hide the pain..
Make each new soul you mean a friend...
And never be alone again.

--by White Raven Angel


From sorrow came an angel...these words..ahh, they mean so much. I entered the Tavern, a lonely wanderer. My journey in the unlife began as a mortal woman, who carried the name Raven Of Sorrow, with an awful secret. Her name was RavenSunlight. She had been injured by a renegade boar which decimated her village. Having always been a healer, I went to her immediately. Her family welcomed me with open arms and heavy hearts. Her condition was most grave when I arrived. She was very near death when I arrived...I prayed for her..layed my hands on her...then the darkness came over both of us. I remember awakening in a circle, no beginning, no end, and I fought a demon I could not see. I could feel his presence....and yet he remained a mystery to me. Then..he touched me. I knew great pain, and then darkness. When I awakened, I was lying next to little RavenSunlight...and she was dead. Her parents rushed into the room as I screamed out her name. I touched her mother....to comfort her. T'was the first time I felt the pain of another......I felt the anguish inside her. I felt the pain of her heart ripped out by the loss of her only child. Tis my curse, because I chose to fight the demon Death. *touches her cheek....feels the tears there* I took the child's name, Raven..for my own. I came to the Tavern lost in my own pain, and the pain I took from others. I resigned myself to the knowledge I would never know love...never know the touch of another.
