Eve Durden sits in a small cell. here she is only 17 years of age, just a child. Almost sleeping she is suddenly awoken by a door that opens at the top of a long curvy stairwell. Curled up in a ball her knees and chin begin to shake with fear. Down the stairs walks a man dressed in robes, he is tall with hair the same color as Eves, black. his eyes match his hair. this man is none other then her father, a powerhungry, unstable wizzard. He walks over to a table near Eves cell. the table is coverd in scrolls, and potions scatterd in dissorder it seems. after reading from the scrolls for some time the wizzards walks over the the cell next to Eve. Inside her brother stands tall and without fear.
The Wizzard looks at his children as if they are puppets. suddenly he begins casting spells on the two..protection spells, and spells that resist magic, and elements. after this he walks back to his table and begins reading some more.
while he is reading the boy looks Eve in her light blue eyes and says: whatever happens to us, know that our mother will guide us to her in the afterlife where we will be in peace.
The wizzard begins to laugh as he hears this, and in an instand becomes filled with rage. . you will be first boy! lets hope those protection spells are enough to save you. Suddenly he begins casting firballs, lightning, and ice blasts directly at his son, who goes flying to be back of his cell and dies a quick death.
The wizzard laughs again and looks to Eve who starts to cry as she tries to reach her brothers lifless corpse threw the bars of her cell.
Enough! the wizzard yells. not noticing the damage his spells have done to the structre they are in.
for you my dear i have somthing special in store, *as he reaches out for scroll the seems to have a dark aura about it* the wizards eyes roll to the back of his head as he raises his hands above his head, and at once white flames engulf Eves entire body! she begins to scream as she grasps her brothers hand. suddenly the building they are in begins to collapse and the entire upper section comes crashing down on Eve and the wizzard who is in mid spell, killing him instantly.
severdays later while some workers are cleaning up the wreckage, they find the 3 bodies, and bring them out to a safe area where they can be further examined. As a priest looks down on the wizzard, his head is smashed. the priest sends the body away. then he looks at the boy, whos bones have penetrated his lungs and are petruding from his chest. and his body is sent away. the priest looks down on Eves corpse, her hair that used to be black is glowing white, a side effect of her fathers dark magic. her body doesnt seem damaged, but it appears she has been dead for some time. just as her body is being lifted off the ground..Eve gasps for air taking a deep breath, her head tilts back as far as it can go and her eyes which have turned black open for this first time in days. she looks at the priest and coughs then.. *eve passes out*

sorry for writing such a long pointless story, i was only going to write about 4 lines explaing why her hair and eyes were the color they are..

Eve is betrayed

several years pass. Eve still lives in the city of Fae. with very few freinds there she was always willing to go the extra distance for new people she met. hunting wolves and killing goblins near the city (back when there was wolves and goblins outside of fae) two strange looking people heading towards a cave stop and stare at her. One of these was a Female human cleric who wore dark armor and a black helmet when in combat. the other was a female moonelf whos tail cought eves eye.

Eve approaches the two and cant help but stare at the tail. Eve reaches out for a hand shake. the elf introduces herself (forget the name but im sure it will come back to me) and bows. The cleric doesnt acknowledge Eves attempt to meet her, but rather inspects eve looking her up and down. then without giving her name she asks Eve :have you ever seen the gnome city called Nyr? Eve replies: No but it doesnt sond like its very far away! trying to crack a joke, eves personality was bubbly and somewhat annoying to most. The women stares at Eve with cold eyes, but suddenly smiles and says: Well your in luck Eve! it just so happens me and my freind here were on our way there now!... if you wanted to tag along i suppose that would be fine with us. and we could use someone with your strength. Overly excited Eve grabs the womens arm and says: Ofcourse! what should i bring? when do we go? what way is it!?
the women replies: your weapon, NOW and this way, and the women and the elf start walking towards a cave. Eve follows the two extreamly happy to be a part of this adventure her and her new "freinds" are going on.
the cleric and the elf cast some protection spells on Eve and tell her to stay close. Eve follows the two killing the odd goblin along the way and feeling like she is being a great help. Finally after many hours they come to a large opening in the cave. The elf walks up to one of the rock walls and examins it closely saying: ahhh, tricky little gnomes! ive found your path once again, as she finishes speaking she starts walking right through the rock wall. the cleric is not far behind the elf, but before she is completley inside the wall she reaches out to eve, Common she says. its not going to hurt.. and mummers somthing under her breath. Eve runs up grabbing ahold of her hand and followes them through the secret pathway that leads to the gnome city of Nyr.

Once inside the city Eve is overjoyed that she and her companions have found the city. still holding her weapon the Cleric says: put it down you fool do you want to get kicked out already!? now wait here while I attend to some buisness. or perhaps you can find somthing to buy at one of the local shops. with that the cleric walks off into a small gnome cave.
still excited Grabs ahold of the elfs hand, Common! lets go see shopping!
the elf just sighs and allows herself to be pulled along by Eve. Finally after some time running from hut to hut the Elf has had enough and says: well as much fun as this is im going to leave our little group now, im sure you and the other can manage on your own? Eve replies: ok, thank you so much for showing me this place freind! and continues to give the Elf a tight hug. after prying herself loose the elf walks away and sinks into the shadows.
Eve starts to look for the Cleric. and somehow manages to sneak past a guard that watches the doorway leading to the small cave where she last saw Cleric go. once inside she overhears the women talking with a Gnome
she hears
Gnome: `and you must bring him back to us or the artifact stays here.
Cleric: ofcourse everything is going as planned.
Gnome: how do you plan on going about getting him back to us?
Cleric: simple, a trade.
just then Eve stumbles on somthing giving her position away to the two.
the Gnome yells for the guards, but the cleric begins to calm the gnome saying: do not be affraid this is my freind, *looks towards Eve* how long have you been standing there for?
Eve innocently says: only long enough to hear that we are going on a mission!
the Cleric says: oh i dont know.. it will be dangerous. I promise i wont let anything harm you if you bring me along, please let me come!
giving in to Eve rather quickly, Ohh allright i guess i can bring you with me, but your going to have to leave your armor and weapon here. because for this task we must move scilently.
Eve: Ohh ofcourse i understand! I can be stealthy i think... *bumping into somthing as she walks closer to the cleric*
the cleric looks at Eve, grins and says: well lets head off right away then, we have no time to waste.
the gnome looks to the Cleric and asks: what are you going to trade for him? she pretends not to hear the Gnome and continues to walk out of the gnomes small cave with Eve following closley behind.

The two set out deeper into the caves beneath Nyr, Eve notices the cleric is still wearing her armor and asks: I thought we were supposed to be stealthy, why did you bring your weapons and armor? Oh one as well trained as I can move just as scilent with or without wepons or armor, now be quiet, we are almost there, she replies. soon after the two begin to hear some strange sounds coming from around a corner. rather then remain stealthy the Cleric leads Eve towards the sound where they are ambushed by a clan of Dark Orcs. compleatly surrounded Eve does her best to stand inbetween the orcs and her freind. suddenly a few orcs step aside and a what looks like a black orc cheif steps into the circle that surrounds the two. the cheif starts talking to the Cleric but Eve cannot understand what is being said, nervous Eve asks what is being said, and the cleric replys: do not be affraid it seems weve taken a wrong turn, this orc will lead us back out and around there camp so that we will not be harmed. with that said the Orc walks deeper into the camp, and the cleric and Eve follow but Eve notices somthing and says: the orc is lying to you! it looks like we are only getting ourselfs deeper into this camp, we should run! The Cleric rolls her eyes and starts talking to the Orc cheif again as walk and says to Eve: Trust me girl! just a little further and we will be out.
the Cheif comes to a stop as he yells somthing to orcish guard who is standing next to what looks like a cell coverd in rags, the guard walks inside and comes out with a large sac wich seems to be moving violently.
the guard walks carrying the sac over his shoulder and drops it near the cheif who is standing infront of the Cleric. the cleric and the cheif start talking, Eve cannot understand but this is what was said
Cleric: here i have brought you what asked, now give me what i came for and we will never have to meet again
Cheifl:*looking at Eve inspecting her* yess she will do us a much better feast then the little gnome child we found. remove your protection spells from her and yourself and i will hand over the Gnome
Cleric: you think me an Idiot like this girl here Orc! give me the Gnome or i will bring Cyrics wrath down appon you all!
Cheif:*the cheif doesnt seem affraid and laughs as he says* we had to try..very well here you go! *and he tosses the large bag to the cleric.

after that the cleric looks to Eve and suddenly removes all the spells of protection that were cast on her. Eve looks at all the clerics Auras leaving her and her eyes grow wide, and holds a look of terror. right away after sevral orcs grab ahold of Eves arms. The Cleric starts walking out of the camp with the large bag thrown over her shoulder. Eve yells out to the cleric

Eve: no! where are you going! you cant just leave look they have surrounded me!
Cleric: *starts laughing* stupid girl! you were so easy to decive, it was bound to happen to you eventually. an idiot such as you could never survive in this world. i hope you learn somthing from this and perhaps carrie atleast that knowledge with you to the afterlife. *after saying that she walks out of the camp*

Looking side to side greatly outnumberd, she cannot contain herself and looses controll and goes into a rage, throwing the two that hold her arms killing one of them as his head smashes into the rocks nearby, but without her armor and wepons she is easily over come. while fighting the cheif sees an opening and swings his large club at the head of Eve making direct contact, Eve is knocked unconscious.
she awakes tied with her arms and legs stretched far from her body, infront of her is a large fire, bones from differnt creatures surround the fire, there is a smell of corpeses that stains the air.

(to be continued)

after some

Nice stories Wink

Interesting to know something about people who Nawen has traveled with before, especially a rivvil slave of Rizzen Morcane. But In Character, Nawen doesn't know all this about Eve. But Nawen would be interested in hearing about this rivvils life, even if only out of curiosity : )

Several weeks pass and Eve is on the brink of death, blind folded, starved and badly beaten she remains tied. Suddenly she hears the sound of metal clashing together, a battle rages on near her in the tunnel. suddenly the fight is right in front of her, she can hear screams as well as laughs. When the fight is over Eve hears the victors speaking a language she has never heard before. The voices are coming from a drow hunting party who came for the head of the orc chieftain. They celebrate there victory over the bloody battle with the orc tribe.
One of the drow fighters notices Eve and says in drow language : ahh look! the orcs have even prepared some entertainment for us! it has been a while science I have heard a Rivvil scream, he says while laughing evilly. He slowly walks towards Eve pulling out a dagger that is attached to his side. He slips the dagger under her blindfold and quickly cuts it off, but the dagger grazes Eve�s cheek, she flinches but is still motionless as the wound starts to bleed. The fighter eyes almost roll back into his head as he says: This is indeed a gift from Lloth*! He continues to slide the dagger under her garments cutting away her clothes. The others edge him on: Make it scream! Make it bleed! Make it die! He pulls out a whip and starts whipping Eve relentlessly, but her body remains limp, not the reaction they had hopped for. The fighter says to the others: Bah this one has already been used up by the Orcs, it is only good for death now. Unsheathing his greatsword he lifts it up over his head, ready to decapitate Eve. Rahh!!, he starts his swing downwards, when suddenly out from the shadows two scimitars held by a Sarek Mori�yhanda block his attack causing the great sword to deflect into the ground. A fight breaks out, Sarek dodges the slow fighters attacks with ease, as Sarek quickly sees an opening and takes quick action, stabbing the fighter with his left scimitar and knocking the greatsword out of his hands with his right scimitar.
Rahh what are doing! The fighter yells, Sarek replies: Fool this Rivvil should be brought to the yathrinen for sacrifice, so that we may gain favor with our house! The fighter sheaths his sword and says: this Rivvil is not worthy of sacrifice! I will have no part in this offering, if you want to bring it back to szith you will do so on your own! Come my brothers, leave the scout and this worthless rivvil, we must bring the head of the orc back to the jabbress for a far greater prize then she would have fetched.
At that the hunting party left walking northerly towards Szith. Sarek shakes his head at the tought of wasting a good sacrifice as he cuts Eve down her lifeless body falls into his arms her eyes slowly open and she makes eye contact with him just before passing out. He carries her body to a cave where he tends to her wounds and lets her rest several days, preparing her so she is not so lifeless when brought to the yathrinen at the temple.
