Lily had never asked for the life she was given. She expected something simple—the daughter of a farmer and ex-mage, and then a priestess. There wasn't much room for interpretation.
But the gods seemed bent on giving her something more.
She thought there were a few major milestones in her life. The death of her mother was a fleeting memory, but still important. But meeting Jacob Reman Bercarius the Sixth was one of those milestones. A chance meeting that changed her fate forever.
Moving to Kvatch at seventeen to become a priestess in the chapel amongst Martin Septim, Oleta the healer and Primate Ilav Dralgoner was another. That, of course, tied in with the third: the destruction of Kvatch, meeting Baran, future Champion of Cyrodiil, and her flee of the city to roam the country. Fourth was the sacrifice of Martin to the avatar of Akatosh, to banish the Daedric Prince of Destruction, Mehrunes Dagon, from the earthly plane of Tamriel.
The disappearances of Marian Clutumnus and Baran.
Her marriage to Jake. The birth of Mallory Ida Bercarius, then Jacob Reman Bercarius the Seventh.
Then her life was in peace—for a while. The little family lived in comfort and quiet in the farming village of Cropsford after a life of demons and divine intervention. Lily continued to pray to Akatosh, keeping her farming and religion close in hand once again.
But the gods weren't done with their warrior yet.
The next disruption in the cycle of her life was in 4E16—fifteen years after the close of the Oblivion Crisis and the Daedric Invasion of Tamriel.
It was the tenth of First Seed when she first met Suna.
