RoleChapter 3 A New Woman, A Forgotten Past Added Sat Apr 28 19:29:38 2007 at level 49:Kyraea yearned for the feel of the grass of the valley beneath her feet. She had been away from Darsylon for years now and her homesickness almost became a serious physical malady. Yet, she knew that as much as she loved her home, she could never go back without being sure the forget spell would not rob her of her prowess again. Every elf she met in her adventures, she inquired about the news of her home. Would it be so sinful to be in the land she loved? Could she be blamed for wanting to return over wanting to help protect?
The inner turmoil raged on. For every reason she could think of to head home, there was a more pressing reason to stay away. It was because she loved Darsylon so much that she could not return. She knew this. It was more than mere sadness building inside her and gnawing away at her emotions, it was melancholy. How could anyone understand the paradox of virtue she tried to embody? It was pride and joy and love that made her leave so that she could become strong enough again to protect her people from afar. Yet, it was a morose pall upon her soul that she had to leave and could not come back.
The sadness that became a part of her affected her duty in many overt ways. While she had remastered two of the weapons that she once swung with deadly aplomb, the melancholy had kept her from reaching her full potential again. Many dark creatures fell beneath her axes and daggers, but she could claim no victory over any of the adventuring guilds. Her judgment was affected as well. While wiser tacticians might have retreated, she stayed on in battle, despairing and hoping for triumph. This proved to be her downfall many times as she fell again and again. The Empire and the Scions with their wicked-hearted creatures had indeed plucked her life strings numerous times, but Kyraea's greatest enemy was herself.
How could she have lost what was so important to her? The love of combat, the desire to protect the home she loved and uphold the light, the duty she swore all seemed to lag behind her overwhelming sadness. Her outsides started to become more of a husk of an elf, worn down by time and despair. She found herself trying to exude an emotionless exterior to hide the pain within, but she felt that it would bubble forth any moment. There had to be some sort of solution...
The answer came one rainy day when she roamed the Fortress in a barely-hidden foul temper. She was frustrated with herself for her inability to retrieve the Orb from the Empire. For a split second during her brooding, she wished she were still back in Darsylon, blissfully unaware of danger, forgetting all she knew of combat. Then it struck her... why could she not forget of Darsylon? If she forgot she had ever been in Darsylon or what it was and focused only on duty, then perhaps the sadness would abate. She decided she could no longer go on living the way she did and it was time for action.
Seeking an apothecary who was familiar with the benign versions of the spell and incorporating it into potions, Kyraea found a man in Hamsah who could help her. An old desert hermit, he gave her what she needed with no questions asked. Seeking solitude, she traveled up the mountains and faced the direction Darsylon was in. She focused on what she wanted to forget and rei
