I was born and raised durin me young years in the cold country, aye..  up in Mule..  ::nods::  My earliest memories are of me mom.. my real mom.. her name was Aprina, she was a giantkin warrior like myself.. She never spoke of my father.

She used ta tell me of the dreams she had when she was very young.. most of ‘em she never tried fer.  She always seemed so sad..   Oh.. fergot ta tell yas.. I have a twin brother.  Well.. I used to have a twin.. that story be fer later.  Back ta me mom..

She told me of her dreams ta join tha prestigious Helden Hall and of masterin Voln, she died long before even getting close ta master, and she’d never even applied ta Helden.  ::shakes her head::

It was then and there I decided I, Aeryi, would got fer my dreams.. I would make those dreams a reality.  I dint wanna be sad alla time like me mom.  Mom became sickly.. and shortly after died.   ::gazes across the room for a moment::

Me brother, Xulkir was adopted right away.. young strong warrior lad..  he found a home real quick..  Me on the other hand.. stayed in Mule fer a while and dint get outta tha house much.

A few months after Xulkir moved ta the Landing with his new family I shook myself outta my gloom and traveled ta the Landin. I knew I would nae see those dreams come true if I dint work at it.

So… I joined Voln as soon as I was able..  huntin and trainin with a vengence, I planned on bein a master afore I even titled.  I knew I could do it, and I did on the eve of my seventeenth train I mastered.  Hmm….  I need ta back up a whole lot.  ::grins::

As ye prolly can guess I spent alla my time at the Voln Courtyard restin when I was nae huntin.  I met the sweetest couple..  He was a lord wizard.. and she a lady empath, ye could tell by watchin ‘em that they loved each other very much.  They sorta took me under their wing.. spellin me up and occasionally even takin me huntin.

Around my eighth train… Lord Karlstar and Lady Abrigale asked me if they could adopt me.  I was absolutely thrilled, they was wonderful parents.  They guided and taught me all they could.  Cheerin on my accomplishments and bein supportive.  They taught me good values and morals..  They dint spoil me with possessions, but did spoil me with love.  They made me work and earn everything I got, I was nae raised ta be lazy  ::chuckles::

I remember the night of my birthday, I’d just visited the trainer fer the tenth time… and I wanted a vultite shield so badly, but I nae had the coins for such a marvelous shield. I was at voln and was hopin mom or dad would volunteer ta get me one, they dint.  ::chuckles softly::  While I was hintin at ‘em bout that shield, I noticed a tall human warrior, standin there so quiet, he was listenin.. 

He asked me if I needed a vultite shield and I nodded that I did… and he pulled out a Kai crested vultite shield and handed it to me!  I asked how much he wanted fer it… he said he dint wanna sell it, but it was mine ta use as I liked.  I seen that handsome warrior, Goldstr alla time, here and there.. but nae fer very long ata time.  That too be another story  ::winks::

Shortly after I mastered, my mom, Lady Abrigale disappeared from tha lands…  Dad was heart broken, sollen..  We leaned on each other through it, and we became even more close. It was durin this time that I applied ta Helden Hall.

Helden Hall had a huge waitin list, and the requirements and the tests ye went through hard..  I anxiously awaited the day my name was next. I continued huntin and started working more at the warrior’s guild.

Then came the big day, the young warrior became a Lady..  me dad was so proud!  And so was I!  Over the course of the next several years many a young and nae so young fellas began askin me dad fer permission ta court, they was all nice enuff and a couple I truly fancied, but none o’them appealed ta me like that tall handsome warrior, he was still always poppin up ta say hiyas.. ask how I was… then he’d be gone again.

Bout me twenty-third train I got notice via scroll that I’d been accepted as an apprentice ta Helden Hall..  Boy o’boy…talk bout grillin.. they tested me morals, values.. me integrity.. it was ‘bout this time that I learned of House Onoir, they was nae an official house, but they was very active about the lands..  I attended one o’their meetins…

Some time has passed by now.. I was apprenticed ta Lord Goldstr as his Squire, shortly after we became engaged.   Me Dad, I nae see much of as he’s moved on ta Bonespear, but Goldstr and I have bought a house, and we be makin plans fer the wedding comin up.

I have joined a guild and order of Onoir, and be currently a guide in the Adventurer’s Guild and a page ta the Azure Hydra…  Ohhh!  And I was accepted inta the Helden House just recently…  Great things be ahappenin..
