Once upon a time, in Bravo land, there was a young girl by the name of Rayven, who was whisked
away to a dark place called the Tower. This �Tower� existed in a realm called �Chatropolis� and she
was lead there by a man who called himself the �Black Knight�.
While in the Tower she witnessed many things. She hid mainly in the shadows and watched. One
night the Black Knight, who was her guide to this strange land, failed to come and she was left all
alone in this strange place. Fearful of speaking and not knowing many of the occupants, she was
turning to leave when someone held out their hand and beckoned her to �come forth.� She did as
she was asked, her heart beating wildly and her knees shaking, and heard a voice say to her �Do not
be frightened by what you see here.� �Come and sit by me and I shall protect you� The �voice�
belonged to John, leader of the Dark Army, one of the many ruling families of the Tower. Under
John�s protection Rayven came out of the shadows and began to emerge into her own person.
Rayven was happy in the tower, although there was much chaos and rivalry among the ruling families,
she felt safe and protected among her clan. One day Rayven entered the Tower to find that all she
had known was gone. A rival faction had killed John, her protector and guide, and the Dark Army
was no more.
One of the surviving members took Rayven and fled to a near by castle, Camelot Reborn.
Again she hid in the shadows, not knowing what to expect from this new place.
She was warmly welcomed and acknowledged by the King of the Old Code, Sir Robert.
She soon warmed to the place and made friends there. It was there that she met her future husband,
Lord Simon. Rayven again felt peace and was happy with her new home. But dark clouds were
gathering on the horizon and storms were beginning to build and threaten the very existence of
Camelot Reborn.
One night an interloper from another realm came into Camelot Reborn. He said terrible things against
the king and queen and threatened the house and all the people that resided there. Since Camelot
Reborn was a peaceful place and no killing was allowed, the king told all the residents to ignore this
mad man and go about our daily lives in the castle. But this interloper would not be stilled. He
brought in reinforcements. Some of the citizens of CR rose up and soon a battle was raging between
two realms. The king tried to stop it, but it was too late. Too much poison had spilled forth into the
rooms of the castle. Lord Simon and I stood by and watched all that we had built there destroyed
piece by piece.
It was then that a calm voice spoke to me. She calmed my fears and took Lord Simon and I to
another place, another realm. This place was called MacLaaran and it resided in a realm called
Chatlantis. She made me new clothes and introduced me to her home. Her name was Windswept
and she became one of my close allies.
All that resided there warmly greeted Lord Simon and me. After a few visits we decided to make
MacLaaran our home. Lord Simon and I exchanged vows in the abbey with all of our new friends in
attendance. We were happy or so it seemed. There was a dark side to Lord Simon, one I had not
seen before. He soon grew restless and began to wonder the other realms. War was still raging on
Camelot Reborn. One night he didn�t come home and I went in search of him, only to find that he
had died in a battle outside of CR. I went back home to MacLaaran alone and heartbroken.
I took leave of MacLaaran for a while. I was gone for about 3 months. Kyle actually found me
wondering around one day and brought me back to MacLaaran. Most of my clothes were in tatters
(read this as my av�s not working any more) so Lava surprised me with some new ones and I
returned to MacLaaran once more. It had grown and I met many new friends on there, one of them
being Sir Belarius. We started out as friends and it grew too much more. Soon I was planning
another wedding. But the dark clouds seemed as though they had followed me once again. An
enemy, one more vicious than the one on CR, began to hack at Chatlantis. He chiseled and
hammered at Chatlantis until it was no more. The bright beautiful realm where I had found such
happiness was gone. We packed up all of our things and moved to yet another realm. The Council
did wonders with our new home, everything was in place, and it was as if we had never left.
My happiness with Bel did not last. After my kidnapping and rescue, he set out alone to find the
avengers. All contact with him was lost and he was reported to have been killed in battle.
One night, while sitting alone in my loneliness and grief, I found all these sweets that Cookie had
made and I binged big time.. Then I went to bed and fell asleep. I dreamt that I had gone forward
into time and I was in this very strange place call GodFathers. Everyone was toting guns and calling
everyone �Don�. When I finally woke, I was glad to see that I was still in my own bed and in the
14th century. Whoa..What a nightmare!
I have finally put the past behind me and have found that I need not look any further for a home, for I
have found that it is here in MacLaaran that my heart will reside and that my future will shine the
brightest.
