But a more facinating fate awaited the elf girl. When she was 10 her world exploded into one of magic, healing, and emotion. All three powers, those of the mage, healer and empath awakened in her with a might. For a while it was rough going, the woodswise child running off into the woods often to escape from the emotions of others.
Eventually she got her powers together and became a great boon to her town, learning all she could from the old mage who had settled in the village for his elder years. all seemed will for both Jade and those around her.
Then, tragedy struck the peaceful little town. Raiders, led by one of those dark Blood-Path mages attacked, killing, rapeing and pillaging all they could get their hands on. Jade, the one person in the village with the Power to stop them single handed, had gone to visit her eldest brother in the Capital and returned almost two days too late.
Jade, despite being aware of some of the darker emotions, had never seen real violence and as a result of losing almost all her family, along with the guilt of not being there to help, set her into a deep depression. she returned to the Capital and stayed with her only living brother. After many months of seclusion she emerged, grim determination sending her to enter in the capital's mage school, and with the determination to protect innocents from the same types of ravaging her family had suffered.
Within the space of only a few years Jade had gained her mastery and been proven as an Adept Mage. But the mage's council didn't deal with blood path mages in the manner she wished, so she turned to the Priesthood. There she was taught the magical tracking of such creatures, seen by the Priesthood as the darkest of evils.
And so, at the age of 19 Jade set out to eradicate such evils from her world. Eventually her travels led her to the world of Feldar, where she found one of the largest consentrations of the vipers she had ever imagined. In the midst of all the evil was a young man, named Merlin.Somehow through luck and skill, the pair defeated the leader of the group, Merlin's own father. During this great battle she was found by her Dragon familiar, Willow, and she also summoned a familiar for Merlin, to replace the familiar he had lost years earlier. Also, to make matters even more interesting, the pair fell in love.
Again all seemed well for the young woman, and the man she loved. But Jade's story was not finished. She set off one day to destroy another smaller cell of Blood Path mages and was destroyed herself along with them.
Reborn as Desolee
Jade longed to go back to her life, and her love. But she faced one problem, she was dead and had no body. So with the reluctant agreement of the powers that be she set out in the spirt world to search for a departing spirit to try to switch places with. She found one in the dying form of Desolee.
Desolee de lupe was a rogue of the highest class, a temptress and prostitute, she was well versed with both the heavens and hells. She had been mortally wounded in a knife fight. Desolee was tired of mortality and was more than willing to trade spirit places with jade. The powers Healed Desolee's body with jade's soul incased therein. But for jade/Desolee the transition was hard, for a time jade forgot who she was, but eventually found her way back to feldar, and merlin. This reunion was not as loving as either might have wanted, because neither knew who the other was. Desolee's first meeting with merlin was with him at the end of her knife point.Through many strange adventures the truth was realized, after both had fallen in love with each other anew. they became engaged, and Desolee concieved and gave birth to a daughter, named Maeve. however this happiness was not meant to be for our elf-child. For within the year once again she was dead, this time to an accidental shooting by a hunter thinking Desolee in wolf form was the beast he searched for.
