This is Azalea Utazás. She is one of the two protagonist's of my story Mortals" Folly". I'd like you all to get to know her better.
She was born 1813CE (Common Era)
She is currently 21 years old.
Her height is 5"11".
Azalea grew up in the far Northwest Country of Belthaziir. It's is home to the Atherians, the Set'Læyn (Dark-Elves), and the Wyr'Læyn (Orc's/Wild-Elves)
She is apart of the human race known as the Atherians. They are known for their White hair, pale skin, and purple eyes. Though their race didn't always have this appearance.
Her Mother was a Scholar who served the Queen directly, and her Father was Queen Azuna Volhiem II's personal bodyguard.
Growing up in the Atherian court, Azalea was always the odd one out. Choosing to adventure around the Hinterland of the Atherian Capital of Yazan, instead of dressing up and partaking in what was expected of her young girl of her station. Though she was friends with some of the sons and daughters of the Lord's and Lady's of court. She preferred the company of the sons and daughters of the common folk. She especially loved climbing trees, but after falling and scraping herself up she became afraid of heights. Though her father told her get back up and try again, her mother told her too "Stay out of that damned Tree"
While her mother taught her of the history of Meridia, and how to control and use her Mana. Her father taught her more practical lessons, like how to make a fire on her own, how to survive out in the wilderness, how to fight with her hands, and how to use a bow.
Archery became one of Azaleas hobbies as a young girl, and she would continue to hone her skills with it as she grew into a young adult.
Though her mother tried dearly to get her daughter to take part in more courtly pursuits, her efforts were in vain. Azalea wanted to explore, see the land and it's people, and experience the different cultures of Meridia. Though her mother was nervous about this, Azalea's Mana abilities were far beyond what her mother expected and she would need a teacher to teach her how to control them, least they kill her.
At the age of 18, Azalea was sent off to the City of Jepsun in the Country of Ardesh. There, she would learn of Ardeshian history and would train under the Mage, Asha Visticar. For a year Azalea studied and trained in Ardesh. Asha was a tough teacher. She constantly harped about control over her abilities and was unyielding when the sparred with mana. Though she was tuff on Azalea during her training and study's, she was also kind to her when they weren't doing either. Asha took her on a tour of the country seeing the Four Capitals of Ardesh. Asha would even take her to the Northern Rainforests of Edenia to visit an old friend, a Fin'Læyn Druid Lord named Toloxepti.
Azalea and her teacher would stay in Edenia for a half a year. During which, she was able to explore ancient Dor'Læyn Ruins, and learn about the Fin'Læyn's history and people.
The following half a year she would go to Southern Edenia with Asha and meet with another of her teachers associates. It was a Dwarven Harbringer name Fafnier Hymdul. The Dwarves were formerly human who were changed by the Blood of Beltizar. The blood changed them, as it changed the Wyr'Læyn of her homeland. Though most Dwarves, like the Orc's, were unable to use Mana, some had the ability too. But unlike the other races of Meridia, they could only use Dark Mana. Fafnier would be Azalea's Dark Mana teacher. Though her race has a natural affinity too and resistance against Dark Mana, Azalea unable to fully control the volatile Mana. Though she wasn't truly upset about this fact. She knew what happened to people who use Dark Mana to often...
After returning to Jepsun with Asha, Azalea trained for another 10 months before Asha told her that her training was completed and that she should be proud of how far she came, and how proud she was to be called her teacher. After leaving Jepsun, Azalea decided that she was going to explore for a year before returning home.
During her time exploring. She became a guest of Malsheik Orin Veracroxe, Ruler of Western Ardesh. He had it in his mind that she would marry his son, Gerrick Veracroxe. Gerrick however loved another and Azalea assured him that she wasn't interested either. During her stay in Royal Palace, she became fast friends with the Veracroxe Children, most of all Jasmine Veracroxe. She learned how to play the Game of Atdeshir (Meridian Chess), and before she left, prevented the assassination of Gerrick. Though the assassin's never revealed who sent them, Orin Veracroxe had his suspicions.
She found a Merchant couple bound for the country of Atmoria and asked if she could ride with them, the didn't mind. They had been riding for a week and were another several weekend from getting there. One night they decided to make camp. When Azalea awoke the next day, her wrists had been tied and the couple were no where to be seen. Their wagon was still there though. That's when she heard strange voices. It was slavers. As they rounded the cart one went to grab for Azalea. She burnt through he restraints though and immediately doused the slaver in flames. His screams brought a dozen others around the cart. As they surrounded her, Azalea fought them the best she could, but she was out numbered. One managed to get close enough to hit her in the guts causing her to fall to the ground. Another kicked her on the side, and yet another one kicked her across the face. Though she was dazed, she was still conscious. She unleashed the full duty her magical ability and summoned a firestorm that engulfed everything around her. After the fire had settled everything around her was charged. No one surivied, not even the horses were fast enough to escape the flames. Due too the amount of Mana she used, Azalea passed out and awoke several hours later, sunburnt and pain. Her pain turned to worry as her attention turned towards finding the couple. It didn't take long for her to find them tough, they were just behind what had been the cart. They were caught in the flames too. She cried out to the sky's above, sickened by what she had done. She sat there for hours sobbing before picking herself up and abandoning her trip to Atmoria. She was going home.
It took her several months to return home, but when she did, she found it a much different place than before. Her father had been killed and her mother imprisoned. Accused of being a traitor to the Kingdom.
The Queen now had an Advisor, a women by the name of Azmara Benheloth. Though she was a half Dark Elf half Atherian, and of the Benheloth Royal bloodline. Azmara assured the Queen she wanted nothing but the Benheloths fall. To won her trust, Azmara had stolen the one object the Atherians haven't laid eyes on in Century's. The Egg of Beltizar. Though the Egg was inert, she assured that she could bring it back to life, along with the Death and they could regain the Atherians lost glory together. When the Queen asked what she would need to do this, Azmara said that she would need the Crystal Skulls that were guarded by the Atherian Scholars. As head Scholar, Azalea's mother had refused to give them to her, citing that Azmara had other plans. When the Queen demanded that she give over the Skulls immediately, Azalea's mother assaulted Azmara and took the Egg from her possession. Azalea's father choose to side with his wife and fought off anyone that was chasing her, bit he was soon overwhelmed and killed. Azalea's mother placed the Egg on the same box as the Skulls and hid them away.
Though her mother was labeled a traitor, she and Azlaea still had friends in court. After getting word to Azalea and sneaking her into the prison, her mother embarrassed her told Azlaea that she needed to get the box she hid and get as far away from Belthaziir as possible.Before she could tell her why or where it's was, the Jailer told Azalea they had too go, the executioner was coming for her mother.
In the city square they prepared her mother to burn for her crime. Her mother spotted Azalea standing in the crowd. She shouted out for her to "Stay out of that damned tree!" It became clear to Azalea where the box was. She looked back to her mother one last time and shouted that she loved her, and set off for the tree. Though she was nervous to climb the tree again, she remembered her fathers word and scampered up the giant oak. Finding the box in hole in the tree, Azalea put it in her satchel. Her head shot up when she heard a bloody curdling scream. Off in the distance she seen the faint glow. The tears burnt began rolled down her face, she screamed like never before. She made a promise to herself that she would have her revenge and took off into the night.
A week or two later, she arrived at Belthaziirs southern most port, Still Water. She's looked for a ship gooing as far away for the Peninsula as possible. She found a merchant ship going as far as the Port of Baydrift in Western Atmoria. She payed for a cabin and secluded herself for the entire trip.
