Personal history
My family lived in the city of brass in an old musty apartment in a run down part of the city. It was my Mother, my 2 older siblings Zorrias, and Voyage, myself being the middle child, and my younger twin sisters Devotion, and Light. Mother would tell us stories about how father once ruled over the City of Brass, but that at some point a radical group of Efreeti grew tired of his rule. They rose up in revolt and killed our father, but mother would never say exactly how it happened. After the revolt one of the Efreeti from the group of radicals took over and put the rest of our family into slave labor working tirelessly down in the mines. Since we had once had a position of power the efreeti provided us slightly better living conditions with the apartment. For years and years we worked down in the mines.
One day I felt a big rumble and heard a large crashing sound, when I heard this I immediately dropped my pickaxe and ran towards the source of the sound. Turning into another tunnel I saw ahead a cloud of dust being lit up by the surrounding torches. I covered my mouth and nose with part of my cloak and ran into it. I could barely see anything, but the dust started to settle a bit and I saw that the tunnel was blocked by a mountain of rubble. The body of one of the newer slaves, a Dragonborn named Lortrin Lachid was lying in the tunnel as if thrown back by the blast, they were bleeding heavily, and it seemed like there life was fading. I ripped up pieces of my cloak and started tying them around some of the bigger cuts trying to stop the bleeding but it was not having any effect.
As I was about to get up to go find help from one of the guards when a rock from the pile came down and landed on my leg before I had time to react. The pain was immeasurable… I tried moving the rock off my leg, but it wouldn’t budge so I tried looking around and calling out for help but No one seemed to be coming… Frustrated and emotional my eyes started to well up… I felt so powerless and alone. And then I heard her… a soft voice whispering into my ear, as I heard this it seemed like time had slowed, the flickering of the torch barely moving, the dust seeming to stop in mid air. “My child…” the voice said faintly “ why do you cry so?” I tried to explain that I was trying to save this person.. But that I too had been injured from this as well, and there was nothing I could do.
A soft giggle came from the voice, “ and just what makes you think that there is nothing you can do? “
“I just can’t!” I tried to explain, “have you tried?” whispered the voice.
I didn’t know what to say, of course I had tried… but at that moment I felt almost an instinct.. A deep primal urge from within..I looked down at my hands and put them over some of the worst cuts on this person's body and felt something warm and tingly travel from my core down my arms and into my hands, which had now started to glow with a warm white light. The bleeding stopped wherever my hands went, and when almost all the cuts were closed up the person's breathing started to become steady as a wave of exhaustion washed over me.. The last thing I remember was there eyes opened and then… Darkness
From there I wake up to find that my leg is healed, and it is Lortrin who did it, he had pulled the rock off and carried me out of the mines. Turns out he is a sorcerer and wants to help me out because he sees the potential I have. With that we plan an escape plan to leave the elemental plane of fire to get him and me and my family out.
We found a guy who could make a temporary portal appear for us that would let us travel to Faerin. On the night of the plan we made it to the meet up location, but some one must have tipped off the Efreeti because there were guards that ambushed us. My mother shoved all of us through and tried to hold off the approaching Soldiers, I reached out trying to pull her in with us but she forced the portal closed as soon as we were through.
From there he teaches me about the Faerin. He teaches me how to better control my magical abilities, and through research find out I am descendant of an Angel tiefling ( or human…) relationship. Which explains my powers and could explain the voice I heard and we learn that the voice was most likely from (diety name here).
