Sukey

“For the wheel always turns”

Levamen was a beautiful but humble kingdom, and its strength came from the union of our brothers and sisters. All changed when it was put to ground by another kingdom, which was not so humble. Aemul reshaped its grounds to its liking, stripping us of our character, making us submit to their order, or face the consequences of evading it.
Almost exactly five years later, one of the last elves of these lands, Sukey, rebelled all on her own. 

You see, back in those days, when she was as young as 104, she had already mastered powerful druidic spells. That is because she was experimented on by wizards in power, cursing her in the process. She never used them, one to not raise awareness of the guards already patrolling around her house, two to not spread the curse. But once she deemed her dwarf brother ready, she got them ready to escape.
One morning, the two of them ran for a less guarded area of the city borders. Using her powers, she managed to get them both across. Of course, this wouldn't go unnoticed. Once they heard the guards getting closer, they ran into the depths of the forest surrounding Aemul. She hid her brother in a dug up hole. “find me at the forest clearing” she whispered, and ran with utmost confidence. After vaulting over fallen trees, she found a plain, surrounded by the woods, through which led an overgrown road. She hid right behind what once was a fence made of large wooden planks next to the road, and right as she did, sounds of five sets of plate armor passed her by. She was safe, but as she looked out, the leader of the armored group suddenly turned around and started approaching her. When she knew they were after her, she decided to fight them one last time, if you could even call it so. She stood up with a stick in her hand. She managed to injure the first and the second soldier, but when their superior has had enough, she rushed in and slashed her stick in two. She resorted to magic, but to no use. Before she could even finish casting anything, he struck his sword into her stomach, and all went to shit.
What hurt more than the sharp metal, was the necrotic energy it was encased in. She fell to her knees, he whispered to her “This is what happens, when you mess with the order. Were it not you, this would have worked”. As they took their leave, she smiled at the dawn as her brother rushed to her. She heard him loud, though not clear, as through his tears not a single word could have been heard, but it was understood. She caressed his cheek. “You must go” she uttered, when he replied “Im- Im not leaving you, there is something I can do. Just don't leave me.” She took her hand off his cheek, and pet his shoulder till it fell to the ground. “Its not a request. Its and order. The last we'll ever take.” Ground under his knees opened into a portal. There she was, alone in the forest clearing, waiting. “I sure hope the hole I dug up wasn't too small for him. He's quite tall for a dwarf, I gotta admit.” said a booming masculine voice, as a figure in dragonsteel armor emerged from the forest. “You took your godsdammed time, you know?” She said, laughing. The figure took her into his arms as she started losing consciousness.
Woken up by the power of the ancient Illwood tree, she heard a whisper unlike any voice she has ever heard. “It was never a curse, it is what brought you here. A gift from me, to my child, in a way”
