Personal history

A dreamer according to her colleagues, Khalima loved her work as an archeologist. Searching for the ancient kingdoms of Africa, the tools and inventions, the way of life and artwork. Piecing together what was lost so many years ago, destroyed by war, jealousy or abandonment. The knowledge and wisdom she could learn about her ancestors always intrigued her, solidifying her choice in profession. But what she didn't get from her work was wonder, the thrilling discovery of legendary tombs lost to time.

  Even if she didn't necessarily believe everything legend was true, she acutely wanted them to be. So in her spare time, just for fun of course, she'd look up all the things considered myths. Any leads she'd get she follow up on, some leading to dead ends, others to lies, but some would prove to be valuable. Now to Khalima, valuable meant anything she could actually write down on paper and not get ridiculed for taking it seriously. The lead she got about an ancient tomb of a forgotten queen was one of those leads.

  She took a small team out into the jungles, finding the location of the tomb. The team worked to open a passage way, Khalima being the first inside. Right before the opening collapsed trapping her alone in the tomb. She walked around, no bodies, statues, jewelry, pageantry or reverence of any kind. Just a Golden Gourd with a skeleton wrapped around it. As she got close to it, her heart raced faster, as she had actually found something incredible. She pulled her lead out of her pocket, a note with a location and a phrase to speak. She was halfway through reciting the phrase when the distinct sound of an explosion rattled the cave.

  In through the hole blown through the rocks stepped Sir Rulean-Rage. As he walked toward Khalima while profusely thanking her for finding the gourd, he was attacked by Satin Shadow and Bronze Burner . While they fought Jangalang grabbed her, nearly killing her before Satin Shadow knocked him away. At some point Oath-Breaker appeared in the mix, tossing his axe wildly. Shortly followed by The Virginian, which turned the cave into a battleground. The villains fighting each other, and the heroes while trying to claim the gourd for themselves. Khalima hid as best she could but was struck by the Virginian's errant spells. As she bled out the gourd whispered to her. She crawled her way to the gourd, finished reciting the words, and then drank from it.

  The bones on the gourd wrapped around her like armor, the linens and regalia of a queen draped around her waist and shoulders. Wind swirled like tornados as she snatched the very air around her in her grasp. The light left her eyes as she exploded the tomb as the the heroes and villains escaped. Surrounded by forest, embracing the soft earth on her feet like she hasn't felt it in a thousand years. She walked, powerful & worry free, ready to enjoy everything the world had worth taking.
