#55790, "Ild's Role Chapter 2"

RoleChapter 2 Initial Role II Added Fri Feb 26 02:08:26 2016 at level 25:Ild came back every day after that. She and Grandpa would talk, play games, but more importantly, he would listen to a confused little girl who was full of doubt and guilt. Grandpa would listen and listen and only after Ild was out of words, would he offer her his perspective on things. He assured her that the strife at home was not her fault or even the fault of her parents. It was the professions they chose.
"The magic will turn anyone's heart black, my dear. No one is immune to it's charms. It lures you in with promises of power, respect, wealth, whatever your heart may desire. Then, once it's in you, it will pursue it's own desires. Your parents, whomever they once were, are gone. What you see are mere puppets." He sighed. It was clearly difficult for him to lay such powerful truths at the feet of a young girl. But she needed to hear them, lest she think that she came from monsters.
They spent the rest of the evening smashing lightning bugs that flew within their reach. "Die magic!" she would yell as another bug was smeared on the dirty bench. Then they both watched as the phosphorescent glow faded to darkness.
She would often bring dinner for the two of them. She was very good at wandering through the market and emerging with a bounty worthy of the prince himself, without spending a single copper of course. In return, he would tell her jokes and teach her slight of hand tricks. He didn't mind her thievery and even encouraged her to refine her skills amongst those who practiced it as an art. No the Hamsah guild, though! Go to Galadon, he told her, there they steal for the art of it, not for the Emperor.
As the years passed, Grandpa's health began to fail. His every bruise or cut took longer and longer to heal. Ild would dress his wounds and make him herbal tea to sooth the pain. He suffered just about every ailment there was and Ild was there to mend and care for him. It gave her purpose and made her feel needed. Soon, she was tending to street urchins, prostitutes, beggars and the like, which she continued after his death.
Now a young adult and member of the Galadon thieves guild, she has a soft spot for the down-trodden while she blames most ills of the world on those who have succumbed to the lure of magic. Even for those, however, she feels pity, but knows only one cure for their affliction. A quick and hopefully painless release from their slavery. She hopes that some may be turned back from magic before it corrupts them. She does not see her actions as good or evil, but merely does what fulfills her sense of purpose. She has no problem with order, in fact her profesion would be more difficult without it. The rules simply don't apply to everyone, including herself. Her playful and joking nature was a gift from her Grandpa and is a comfortable persona that makes her feel like he is with her. She dropped her family name long ago, choosing a new one to honor her Grampa.
