Prologue
"Hurry! We don't have much time!" a woman says as she runs about the large palace room. Smoke rose up from between the floorboards and out the windows, a ghastly smell ensnaring the woman's senses.
"Where is she?" a man asks. Suddenly the door bursts in and fire quickly consumes the room. The woman screams and collapses to the floor as the man runs quickly out of the door.
"Help me! Please! Help me!" a girl screams from a corner of the room. She falls to the floor smoke consuming her. She looks up into the flames and sees a man step through the fire. She closes her eyes just as he kneels and picks her up and bolts through the doorway.
He quickly runs down the hallway and out the wide flame covered doors that open onto the now destroyed village. The girl opens her eyes slightly and looks over the man's shoulder. She sees two huge large beasts running after them. Just before her eyes close again she notices a rose tattoo with dew drops at the base of the mans neck. Just as she goes to speak the man trips, and she goes flying into a tree. She opens her eyes slightly and sees the man run off, the beasts following him.
Then the world went black...
She opens her eyes slightly and peers around at her surroundings. Where am I? She thinks to herself. She looks up to the blue sky bordered by lush green trees and singing birds and…a black blob? She looks up to the blob as it grows bigger. The blob slowly changes into a tall creature with fair skins, long blonde hair, and silvery eyes.
"Vedui' little one" the thing says smiling down to her. She looks to the thing with untrusting eyes and a vacant expression on her face.
"Who…who are you? What are you?" she asks pushing against a tree.
"I am Jules, elvish rogue" he replies brightly, "and you are?"
"I'm…" she looks down as she tries to reply "I…I don't know who I am" she finally says after many moments of thinking.
The elf looks at her strangely, "You don't know who you are, eh? Well where are you from? Maybe that will help find your identity."
"I…I don't know. I don't know anything really," she replies as she looks down.
"Hmm. What was the last thing you remember?" he asks her after a moment of silence.
"Well I don't remember anything. Its like I'm a nobody. Like I don't have any answers. It's all so dark and cloudy," she says looking around.
"That presents quite a problem" he says as he lays out his hand to help her up. She looks to his hand and sees a green dragon tattoo on his palm. Her eyes open wide and then she faints, collapsing to the ground.
He looks at her oddly and picks her up. "Guess we'll just have to take you to the elders, their not going to like it, but they can deal" he says as he walks into the deep darkened woods.
