Legends of Belariath

Serephyna

Serephyna came into the world quietly following slowly after her twin Stryker. A small ball of naked winged and tailed humanity. Her strip of fur running down her spine between her wings to her tail, and her little odd ears on top of her head, clamped tight to shut out all noise.

She was an easy baby to care for unlike her brother. But it didn't change the fact. She was a half breed, and would not be accepted in her parents warring clans. Her parents knew that but then all out war came and they were called back to their clans. A secluded area was found for the twins to live safely with a young slave caretaker. The plan was to return for the twins to live as a family when the war was done. but that day never came as both were killed. War didn't care about the innocent.

The trio lived far from civilization in a hidden valley. Serephyna grew up carefree. One didn't miss what one never knew. She spent her time in the woods with the animals caring for them when she could. They seemed to accept her as one of their own. Trusting.

Then one dark day tragedy hit. The slave died leaving the twins alone to fend for themselves. Stryker wasn't close to his sister. and as soon as the slave died he turned to her and said "ok now we are free. go find the towns as I have and find your own way." and with that he was gone.

Serephyna looked at the slaves burial mound and her retreating brother in shock. Her eyes drifting around the valley she had called home most of her known life. She tried to stay for awhile but soon she had to admit she did not have the skills to live in the wild and survive.

Shortly before winter cast it's blanket over the valley she moved out of it, seeking a new home. The new area was not kind to her. shot from a cliff top, raped by her rescuer in the name of love, abandoned again and again by the people she meets. She struggles on finding her place in the world.
