Love that Stings and Words that Cut

On the Realm of Wind, pirating is to many the only way of life. So it is not unusual for the best tales of swashbuckling and thievery comes from the Realm. One of the most beloved tales of those on the Realm and beyond is that of Sasha and Sasha's long forgotten love.
The tale of Sasha begins as most pirate tales begin, by stealing an object of great importance and what could be more important than Ithicayn's Warpstone. Imagine to be the one who in accident stole the most famous of items to ever have existed. So it was that Sasha found the stone. Sasha was worried though having heard the tales of those who loose themselves in their first attempt to use the Warpstone. So Sasha instead laughed and offered the stone to those who were Sasha's enemies on the grounds that if they managed to use it right then and there that the Warpstone by right was theirs. Of course Sasha did do the best to cloud their thoughts at just the right time. Often with a knife to the back.
So Sasha became known wide and far on the Realm, having admassed a hoard of treasures taken from the fallen enemies foolish enough to take Sasha's bet.. And as with all who gain such fame came those who would want a part of that fame. Those who feel the draw of the famous upon their soul. One such fellow was a young girl, barely old enough to carry child herself, who somehow found her way in front of Sasha. She walked up to the Pirate and stroke a deal, if the girl could use the Warpstone then Sasha would take the girl's hand in marriage. Sasha always one to laugh at the folly of others took the bet immediately. Sasha even promised to not interfere in the girl's attempt to use the Warpstone. To be in the room when the stone disappeared with the girl only to come back a few minutes later.
So it was that Sasha was wed. At first it was only out of duty and honor that Sasha took the girl but that would soon grow to be love. For the girl was sweet and kind and Sasha could not help but let the girl's claws sink into Sasha. But to say that such a thing is a folly is to say that breathing is a folly. The girl even gave the Warpstone back not needing that target on her back. It was a soft love, one that many child have fallen into but that made it no less real.
So it was that Sasha and Sasha's wife wandered the Realm of Wind looking for those desperate or foolish enough to test their will with the Warpstone. With a sudden influx of wealth Sasha's wife took to scholarly learning. It became that the rare book that the pair found was worth more to them than anything else they took from the foolish. Taking up writing herself Sasha's wife wrote of the many adventures of Sasha. Much of what is known of Sasha comes from that girl's writing. But nothing happy lasts forever.
Sasha's wife came down with her first child. The child though somehow maybe because of the warpstone, was aflicted with Mana Blight. There was a chance for the child but such a chance left Sasha's wife with no hope. Sasha could not accept this and scoured the Realm for help. When none was found Sasha left with the Warpstone, finding a will that had long thought immpossible. So it was on the Realm of Fiction that Sasha found hope. Taking the scholar and mage back to the Realm of Wind Sasha found Sasha's Wife in the throes of death. The scholars were too late. Still the child lived. Not that Sasha could bear to take care of the infant that stole Sasha's love. Sasha gave the child away and turned to the gods of the Realm of Wind. They had not acted when Sasha asked for their help and now they would pay. But none were so foolish to take Sasha's gambit. Instead Sasha had to hurt them another way.
Fiction proved again to be Sasha's hope. Tearing into the same work that Sasha's wife once did. Sasha sought to steal from the greatest. Thought to pillage from them but no sword would sway a god, nor even cut them. Sasha needed something sharper. So Sasha honed a craft not often seen on the Realm of Wind. Paper does not often deal with such gales. Spinning a tale worth of even the very Book of Fiction, Sasha spoke words into the Realm of Wind. Words that grew to be a force unto themselves. Even now you can hear them echo across the Realm carried on the breath of wind. Those words tore into the flesh of Gods, who stood like flesh to the storm of razors. The words might be lost to time just as the gods Sasha cut down.
