Takes Place Before Ascension Into an Elysean Daeva (Is a Human)

Music can soothe the soul, bring joy, or draw back sad memories, Xirya knows this all too well. Xirya grew up in a small village, with only her humble father to raise her. She thought little of herself, maybe too little, for she had one exceptional talent. Music. Xirya's compositions were amazing, everyone in the village loved her breathtaking pieces. Xirya soon became known across the land. She performed all over, earning enough money that her father didn't have to worry about providing for her or himself ever again. Her father had always known Xirya had a gift, so on her 16th birthday, he entrusted her with their family's prized possession, a beautiful and mysterious harp. The harp felt right in her hands, but some people wanted it in their hands. The instrument allowed its owner to create songs that could heal or harm others, her father knew that Xirya would be a good caretaker of it, and that she would use it for good. One day when Xirya and her father were walking home from one of her performances, a band of rogues appeared and threatened Xirya to hand over her instrument or her father would be killed. Her father told her to run, her life and the instrument were far too important to be thrown away. Xirya ran home, and cried that whole night. The next day she informed her village of what had happened, they set up a shrine to her father in the main square. That day, Xirya set out to find her father's murderers, to avenge him. If she hits the right note at the right time, she can do anything.
