Gessa





She came to these lands just over a year and a half ago, running then from a slaver who had killed her aunt and caregiver, then burned the small farm that had been the only home she had ever known. Frightened and shaking, she came with nothing save the clothing she wore and some sort of odd magical powers she knew nothing of controlling, nor did she know where they came from. She quickly befriended one named brigid_, who in turn introduced her to the many that would become more family than friend to her. She managed to make this place her new home.

After several months, she'd managed to get word on one who claimed to be her father, so off she traveled to find this one. Find him she did, and after a couple of months with him, she found herself back in Beware a changed young woman, no longer the trusting one she had once been, as she began to carry out her father's wishes for this realm. Perhaps it was simply that her heart did not bear darkness nor evil well, or maybe just a change of heart found her. One day she sought to gather what she could from a magical spell...and in the combined efforts of herself, and another who nearly died, it brought returned reminder, of who and what she had been. Finding herself wishing to return to that easy going and quiet lifestyle, that is just what she did, and just silently praying that her father would never find just where she was, as punishment would surely come hard and swift if he ever did.

After a time, she met and fell in love with a man named Kir'Tanaii, but alas, that was not to be as he committed suicide soon after. Lost for a time, insecure in so many ways from his death and deciding then, that maybe such things were simply not in her future. It was just as this decision was made that the Dragon Cyan Bloodbane informed her that she was to be a Dragon Rider. More than just a little shocked at his words, upon further questioning, she was even more shocked to find that part of her powers came from the strain of Dragon's blood that was within her own. Shortly there after was when she felt the first stirring of the one who would become her own dragon, his heartbeat felt within her own chest. As Khirsah grew, they both knew that their relationship was growing far beyond what was usual for that between Dragon and Rider, and so, as Khirsah finally emerged the full grown Dragon and man that he is now, the two were wed, bound to be mates in heart, soul, mind and body

After an extended absence of the one she held so close to her heart, the one bound to her, she found herself simply unable to contend with the millions of deaths felt each day without him at her side, it was decided that perhaps she would be better off without the Dragon she once called her own. In this, the bond was broken, and memories taken and buried as well. No more is she connected to him by any part of her...and while she lost the cherished memories they shared, each breath taken was no longer the painfilled emotion that weighted her down with need and longing for one who didn't return. Slowly but surely, she found herself returning to the happier heart and soul that she once was.

In a twist of fates, she found herself tainted by one, and demanded a job be done...the resulting display putting her a captive at the camp of Tempus, and even a host of one called Night Spryte. Despite the somewhat dark intent of the Spryte...something within changed and she grew from the experience. The Spryte suckling so many negative emotions from her, and in an indirect way, giving strength where she so lacked before. Realizing that she could simply not be responsible for the entirety of the Realm, nor for the actions of others. Weight by the tons lifted from her shoulders, intended or no...but, grateful to the Spryte still to this day, though the memories of that time are hazy.

So many days, so many nights passed...the found friendship between she and the Dark Wolf grew into a blossoming romance. The relationship frought with battles of old broken hearts and insecurities that ran rampant through each of them. Through time and effort, however, the subtle warmth of hope and love grew, drawing them closer together until He claimed her for His own...as she has claimed Him.
