Chapter 1: dawn of the moon
Emma Von Crescent-Light was born on the isle of Moonbeam isle 17 years ago on the eve of Alignment- the day when both moons eclipse on another and the sun. This event often foretells great power, particularly to vampires and werewolves. Emma is of course the former, born to the Yarl of the isle (Dunstad Von Crescent-Light) and Isabelle Everglade.
However, Emma was possessed of two other gifts- the favour of the emerald spirit. This grants her freedom from all the negative effects of Vampirism, bar one (Crosses). The other- thanks to the eve of Alignment- the Tu'um. The former can be recognised by the shard of refined Emerald in Emma's left hand.
It should have been a safe and happy life. However, this is the fourth era, and the empire needed more forces to repel the Stormcloaks; led by Ulfric stormcloak. By the time the conquest arrived at Moonbeam isle, Emma was 16. That day, Emma responded to a letter from a concerned resident. There was supposedly a breakout of chaurus down in the mines, so Emma had gone to rectify the problem. I have been told that, since she was three, Emma was trained in the fields of one-handed weapons, Sneak, light armour, and conjuration. By this time, she was a fairly proficient fighter and thief.
But it was a trap! The message was forged by imperial soldiers, who meant to use Emma to gain control of the isle. Needless to say, Emma wasn't about to go down without a fight. Using her unearthly speed, she tore through the first wave of soldiers. But the Empire had come to expect this, and the soldiers were merely a decoy. The real weapon under their disposal was a Kajiit by the name of Riikspiel, a trained assassin. But Emma had the ability to detect life, and turned on this would-be kidnapper in an instant.
The two squared off, sizing up one another's traits. Emma soon realised that, with all her power, this battle was hopeless. Emma attempted to flee- but again, the Empire had anticipated this too. Soon, Emma was caught and being transported to the ship Transcendence, captained by Legate Tullius.
