Kyliah Lizzet
Lost and hungry as a child she joined a band of traveling performers. Her abillites as a trainee sorceress began to grow daily. She became the main act of the troupe before to long. While performing on the road at a small village she came across man named Altheis. He promised her power and wealth beyond her wildest dreams if she would just leave the troupe and travel with him. After tearful goodbyes she left the troupe and started traveling with Altheis. She grew to care for him alot as they travelled together. He taught her how to fight with a sword and he taught her well how to fight with bare essentials.
Her powers grew and grew under his tutoring and soon she had outgrown even his ability. She could conjur things from the very air around her. Her powers included the ability to shape shift into a panther and a dark wolf. She hunted at night for food and brought it back to their home. Atheis had alterior motives though. One night while she was away hunting he contacted his group of followers to meet him at his home. He contracted them to kill her as a sacrifice so that he could obtain her powers at the moment of her death. She had become so dependant on his company and his love, that she would never suspect a thing until it came to late.
That evening she came home with her kill and began to prepare the deer for Altheis. She tenderly cut the meat and prepared the dinner, for tonight she would ask him to couple with her. her love was a deep growing thing inside her and until this eve she had kept it hidden, or so she had thought. Altheis had been able to read her like a book and planned to use that love against her. As she was preparing the meal Altheis entered the home a large smile on his face. He greeted her with a kiss and offereed her a drink. She drank it without fear and was soon in a deep sleep. Upon awakening she found herself bound to a large stone in the woods her wrist ached painfully and her ankles were bruised and swollen.
"Ahh my sweet puppet, so good of you to join us." Confusion filled her eyes as she looked around her and saw the men. Shaking her head she tried to scream but was gagged. She watched in horror as they began to chant and smoke filled the air. Tears filled her eyes as she thought of Altheis' betrayal. "My sweet puppet your powers will be mine tonight and you shall be nothing." Hearing these words her eyes went round with surprise and anger. It boiled inside her. All she could think of was getting free and ripping his throat out. Her love turned into putrid hate in those few seconds and she vowed to do all that was in her power to kill him.
Using the time she had before the ritual was complete she closed her eyes and began to pull energy from the air. Altheis had taught her much in their time together but she still had a few secrets. As the enegery came to from the earth and from the air she opened her mind to the powers that be and pleaded for help. She concentrated on the magic that was growing inside her and formed it into a tight glowing ball in the middle of her stomach. With her final plea she forced it from her body in a lightning strike. The air sizzled around her with much more power than she knew she had. Her eyes blinded by the towering energy pillar that was hovering above her stomach, she could not see the figure that stood before her. it spoke with a voice so deep and resonating that her entire soul vibrated. "LEAVE THIS CHILD BE OR YOU SHALL PAY WITH YOUR LIVES." The men gathered around Kyliah ran for their very lives but Altheis not to be denied his power stood his ground. "What manner of creature are you to stand in my way." His petulant voice quivered with hidden fear as he gazed upon the entity before him.
"YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME YOU IMPETULENT MORTAL." A smile spread across the creatures face when he saw Altheis shrink back in fear. "You shall pay the price for having harmed my child Altheis." Sputtering Altheis spoke. "Your..child...but she is nothing...a mortal...what do you mean?" Kyliah listened to this and her heart and head swam with new hope. She had a father? The question rang in her head and could not be spoken. "I AM THIS CHILD'S FATHER YOU FILTHY WORM. YOU WILL NOT LAY A HAND ON HER FOR YOU SHALL BE DEAD." With that the creature brought his hands to meet before his breast and from them spread a devistatingly bright light. When Kyliah could see again there was but a pile of ashes where Altheis once stood.
Feeling gentle hands remove the gag she looked at the stranger with fear and curiousity. When she was free she sat up slowly, rubbing life back into her wrists and hands. The words would not come as she gazed into the gentle eyes of the frightening creature before her. "I am your father sweet Kyliah. I am the God of Storms. My Name is Zetheras. Your mother was a mortal whom I fell in love with, she died giving you life. I could do nothing until the time was right. Tonight marks your twentieth year of life and the time when you are to receive the gifts of my race.
Shaking her head her eyes blurred with tears once more. She had never know this man and here he was saying he was her father. Her mind swam with emotions. "But..I ." Stopping she could not put into words the thoughts in her mind. "It is quite alright Kyliah, I understand your fear and anger. I can not help that fact that i have been away from you. It was my sin to lay with a mortal woman and up until recently I have been imprisioned. Your call for help freed me from my bonds and I am here now. I will help you in anyway I can sweet child, my daughter."
Leaning in close her brushed her hair away from her face and smiled a glowing smile. "I don't understand Zetheras...father. What powers are you speaking of and who imprsioned you. "There will be time for question later. Let me get you home, or well your home and we shall discuss this in the morning after you have rested." Taking Kyliah into his arms the air swirled around them until they were completely shrowded in fog. Her head spun as they traveled and she snuggled close to him for warmth. When they landed the mist cleared and they were standing in front of a small cottage in the middle of a beautiful glade. "This is to be your new home my child. It is safe and protected by many spells. I shall wait with you tonight and explain in the morning." Suddenly Kyliah couldn't keep her eyes open. She felt drained and weak. She let herself be led into the bedroom and put into fresh bed clothes. When she was cacooned in the warm blankets she managed one word before sleep overtook her. "Father."
In the morning her father explained of her boirth and her birthrite powres. She was to be a Goddess on earth. mortal until the time of her demise and when her spirit passed form her body it would become immortal. She would stay with him in his home for eternity. After she had eaten breakfast he took her to a small pool emclosed with ferns and long grass. This child is a mirror into my realm. If you have need you may speak to me through it. It's waters also provide healing when in need. Your powers will be greater than you could have ever imagined. They will come slowly, but when they are full upon you, you will be the most powerful human in this land. Be wary my child for you are weakest at the new moon. When your body is clensing itself of impurities your powers will decrease greatly at your cycle. Just like the moon must hide it's face once a month so will your powers hide from you. To be safe during this time yo umust learn to prepare spells and shields to keep you from harm. I will teach you all of this but you have learned enough for today my sweet child let us walk among my clouds and learn more of each other.
