Chapter 1

While exploring a swamp named Ysigrath, Amaranda ran into a
young half-elf named Caradoc. They instantly formed a deep bond
of friendship and began spending a great deal of time together.
Never having found a true connection with anyone before, Amaranda
quickly found herself in deeply love with him. She quickly devoted
herself to him, caring about him with something akin to worship.
He was a young member of the Fortress of Light, and he asked her
to join it with him. Feeling that she could keep him safer and be
nearer to him if she joined, she petitioned and was accepted as one
of the Scribes. From there, she quickly found herself accepted into
a very unique family of the Light. She met several worshippers of
Innis, Cytherea, Sessha, and Talianna, each of whom she developed
a strong friendship with. She met a young elven knight named
Solasarath, and she looked at him as a friend, and the epitome of
everything good the Maran should stand for. She found an elven
invoker named Kiel, who shared the same spark for the elements
as she, and took great comfort in his kindred spirit. The Lords of
the Fortress saw her devotion to this motley family, and granted
her the powers of the Acolytes so that she could care for them better.
While chatting with Cytherea one day, Cytherea asked about her
feelings for Caradoc, and Amaranda admitted that she loved him,
but that they were destined not to be together as Caradoc had
devoted himself to the Fortress, and sworn never to be distracted
from his duty. Amaranda was a bit miffed at this, but Cytherea
wisely pointed out that even if they were not truly together, she
still could be near him, and that nothing was lost when that was
the case. Cytherea had, sadly, just lost her love. Amaranda realized
the solid wisdom in this, and decided to confess her feelings to
Caradoc, as she did not wish to have regrets with how she dealt
with him. She told him the next day, and was amazed to find that
he also loved her. Even though his vows kept them from being
together, she was secure in the knowledge.
