"I was a rebel leader in France in the late seventeen hundreds. We were not the best people to be rebels, women mostly. We were usually crushed without second thought, but one night, in a raid, we were victorious. We had defeated the guards. Unfortunately, in our shock we forgot about reinforcements kept in the throne room. They crushed us and captured those who had survived for questioning. It wasn't very publicized, only because the King was supposedly against torture.
"I was last to go, my peers around me on the ground. The guards had left for the night, leaving me chained to a wall. I hate to say, but they should not have done that. They should have tried me first. After they left, Alexandria stood and performed a series of spells. The first to slow them, the second to dull pain, the third to release any and all hidden potential, and the fourth...the fourth was a spell of immortality. The last was at the cost of her life."
"Why would anyone do that?"
"For the cause. So I could go on and defeat the king and his tyranny. Anyway, when the guards returned in the morning, the spells kicked in. My body went numb and surged with power, and something else. Wings, of steel. They scared the guards off and I escaped, to heal. They were painful coming out, the dull side ripping my back apart as they came out. You could never imagine the pain." She stopped and sighed. " I was a coward, I left the castle for the under populated country side, hiding from the king and his men. I did not want to be caught again, yet I knew that I could not let my comrades die in vain. I eventually returned, too late. The first republic had already overthrown Louis. So I did what I had grown best at doing, I ran again, this time for an ex British colony, America. Supposedly there they didn't care who you were, as long as you believed in freedom, no doubting I believed in that. Unfortunately, a French loyalist from the king's time also heard such rumors and became a stow away on the same ship I had boarded.
"We met two days into the journey, he recognized me from our last defeat, he was one of the guards I had frightened off with my wings. He was also a wizard, a powerful one at that. So he cursed me, took away my voice, so I wouldn't spread my views, or his defeat. And then, and then he did something, I don't remember what, for my memory is hazy there, but he said that everyone would forget I existed as soon as they saw me, like being invisible, only worse, because if I were to touch someone, they would forget as soon as it happened, as if it never had."
