Valynda and Kayla hail from Arabel, one of the larger cities in Cormyr. They had always been happy children, blissfully unaware of thier heritage, and future life. As they grew up they noticed a few strange things about themselves, but didnt think much. There was always one thing that bugged Val, something that wasnt quite right. Her father used to get people knocking on the door for him very late at night, she would hear shouting, and scuffling around. Val would always hide with Kayla under the bed clothes to avoid the sounds.
One day she woke up and went downstairs to get some food, and at the front door her father laid, in a pool of his own blood, his shirt stripped from him, and bandages he used to wear around his chest torn. There he was...laying dead...with red dragon wings sprawled out behind him.
At first she was shocked, and couldnt say anything. As the tears welled up, choking her up, she fled to her mother upstairs and cried to her.
Her father was soon buried. Her mother and younger sister Kayla lived as happily as they could after this and eventually resumed a normal life.
Unfortunately her mother had been experiencing decreasing state of health, and soon fell quite ill so she could only sit in a chair and stare ahead of her. One evening Val went out to get some shopping, food and the like, and found she was being followed by a strange man dressed in black. Everywhere she went he followed untill she got home. She shut and locked the door and ran to her mother to look after her.
Kayla Used to always keep Val in high spirits. Kayla was one of those children who "suffered" from an unnaturally high level of energy, and was always running off to do things. She would often be found trying to casts spells on small insects trying to make them stronger to carry their food (which never seemed to work).
One day a loud crashing sound echoed thru their small home, Val and Kayla looked out of the window, but their mother soon shouted to them weakly to come away. She knew what was happening...There was a war starting...
Sywyn Ti'rent was engaged to Valynda. He was a moon elf...blue hair, pale skin...beautiful looking creature. He came over to see Val and her family to make sure they were okay when the war started. Just as Val left the house to see the what was happening, a soldier jumped from nowhere and started ripping at her clothes, trying to touch her in places she would rather be left alone... Sywyn ran up to him and cast a spell killing the soldier in his tracks leaving a crying Val to hug. On comforting her another soldier came up behind him and stabbed him in the back with a small dagger, leavin him dying in her arms. She carried him inside and locked the door.
Kayla...as usual, got tired of sitting around and took her mother into the garden. This was not a good move, as soon as they left the house, her mother leaving the building first, a man came from the bushes and pushes a long sword right thru her mothers heart. He swang for Kayla, but she ran back inside quickly.
This left Valynda and Kayla to fend for themselves. They took supplies and headed out for Isinhold to arrive a few days later, seeking refuge.
