*Kat sits quietly for a moment next to her Father in the temple garden, she sighs just happy being here again and next to him*
"I know it's not really been so long since I left your side, but it seems so much has happened, when I first left I found myself travelling briefly with a sorcerer called a Saphire from waterdeep and a dwarf. We helped out one of the noble families there and it utimatly led me to ship travelling around the sword coast. I have since learned the captain has passed to the keeping of the gods sadly, we were going to help retrieve some treasures but Saphire had to leave and a soon found myself on my own in Athkatla *shudders*. It was here my story reallybegins, I met a Azral a cleric or moridan at the time and now a Paragon of the Mordinsamin, Hrodmir who turned out to be a wareboar and Kalatec.
I have ended up involved in much over the months, the first major event I suppose was something that ended up leaving my ashamed *turns crimson*. My friends and I were asked to help a man named Gimbaldi retrieve and item to help save his daughter. It meant we stole an item from the temple to Lira in Athkatla. We were caught and to late I realised we had been duped, while in the temple he had left an magic image and made his escape. My naivete really showed there, believing I was doing something good and caught up in the moment I never stopped to think properly. I served a term in their jail as the high coin urged for leniency. We have since made up for this grave mistake and are our good terms with both temples. When I entered the jail, the guards thought they could lay hands on me at their whim. They learned the error of their ways with the blessed fire granted me by you father, however Kal did not get of so lightly. When we first walked free she had happy memories of dancing and so forth as a entertainer doing more of a community service. It seems her memories were faked at her own request, the truth was she was tortured and raped by one of the corrupt lords there. *a sad look comes over her* my time was hard when I fell sick there, but I endured nothing compared to poor Kal, *the fire blazes back into her eyes* I will see justice served on this man and all those responsible! I want to make sure that no others suffer in that prison, whatever it takes no one even a criminal serving just punishment should go through that.
Those event however led to us discovering Corin Lyathars library and I got to witness the performance of the "river of tears" *shows him the drawings. I had in anger sworn to hunt Gimbaldi down and take his life *looks embaressed*, I found him later in a Thayan prison camp and a Paladin Tyr who was also prisoner offered his life in stead, in the end we saved them all and Kal took them across the mountains to safety. I wish you could have been there to hear the river of tears, no words can come close to what the song makes you feel, my drawings barely scratch the surface of the raw emotion that song provokes. It truely was one of those moments that make a mark in a persons life.
We also found and passed the trials of the Mordinsaman in the great temple nearby, there was one challenge set where we lived the defense of the forge. To defeat the enemies we all had to hold the red hot weapons of the forge, of course I felt nothing so it did not work for me so I used my skill to make them hit each other or fall onto the weapons *laughs*. *holds up her hand, it is not visible but I am told I bear the mark of dwarf friend as does Orin a Storm Mage who was with us at the time. I must say it is a true honour, Azral became my closest confidant and I miss him deeply. We also changed the past but that is a complicated matter.
We defeated the curse set upon a town, caused by Kal's grandfather and defeated him freeing Kal from nightmares and worse. She has also been adopted by Uthlorad a Paladin and Lord from Cormry. He is a decendant of the Drake and we helped him over come his fear and free Drakes peak.
I'm sure you know much to my shame that I freed Iceheart and later placed the killing shot to her. The long talk I had with Amcimir about if she should have been spared and given a chance to change still weighs heavy with me, I do not know that answer but I am glad that she can cause no more harm to anyone again.
I have hunted a destroyed a few other Dragons around Amn and Thethyr, we seem to have had many run ins with these spawn that are not dragons but warped abominations of their true form. I know they have been sent hunting me, but luckily and with my friends help have been defeated each time.
We also met a woman who had lost her memories, we found out she was a succubus of Shar but it seems something has happened to break that link? Their is some serious turmoil in that faith!
We also travelled to the Fey realms and met with the King of Autum, I was blamed for Iceheart rightfully so, but in the end we were able to help the King out and make a friend there I think.
We found and put the bones of the drake to rest, while there we found the Tantibir edifice, it was broken and had wiped our memories and was killing us. Azral fixed it *beams with pride* and managed to use some of the stored knowledge there. I actually lived a year of several old elves lives, the daughter of the high mage was intresting. The feeling of neglect and lack of connection to her father was such a stark contrast to my own childhood with you*leans into cuddle up to his arm*. I could not believe the slaughter we witnessed of their last day, what are now the drow coming in and with out mercy killing women, the sick and children. It makes my blood boil seeing it and feeling it through the lives of those present and not been able to save them, the old queen of the elves was something else tho, she is the sort of woman I want to become. She put her people first, was kind and fair and loved by them. I spent a year as her bodyguard, he was in love with her and having his memories and the way she was strangely makes my first love a 10000 year dead queen of the elves maybe *laughs*.
I have helped defeat followers of garagos that were killing people all over, destroyed an assasins base and removed a old vampire. I have tried to stand by everything you taught me of the Pitarin code, I have tried to stand against evil in all it's forms and help those in need and suffering. I have cooked for the homeless and poor in Saltmarsh which left such a good feeling with me *smiles*. Oh that's right I learned to cook *laughs loudly*, Azral hired a few mercenaries from the flaming fist to guard the wagon and mr turnip, Korondon was a master chef and started to teach me, sadly he and Ludwig a giant of a Damaran who led them fell defending Trademeet against the scorpion men. Ludwig was amazing father, he was strong and decisive and brooked no nonsense. He was going to take me to Damara and show me the land, *starts to cry* I couldnt save them, he had already fallen twice before and one of those was to a vile green. They were friends, companions who helped us to do so much good not just hired muscle. Why couldn't I save them....*becomes unintelligible for some time. In his cook book I found some sketches, as he was teaching me it seems he had quietly been trying to learn to draw from what he saw me doing...*falls to sobs again*
Mr turnip is another fallen friends donkey, you would have laughed at me so hard. I was trying to get his body to a temple in time to try and bring him back to us, the storms rose and the paths became treacherous, Mr Turnip was at his limit, even with my skills to empathise with and to handle animals he could not go on. I didn't want my friend to be sad or upset, so I ended up walking into this village dragging a sled with the donkey sat on it *laughs*
I suppose really we have done so much and seen so much, some things I am sorry that I have brought shame with but I have tried to make amends for any mistakes, I have told the truth at all times and tried to make you proud father. I have mastered new techniques with the bow, honed my skills as a huntress and also bonded my first animal companion. You would like Kapesk, I called her storm to match her temper and ferocity, she sulks something chronic if I head into danger without her. I have kept my faith with Bahamut and tried to live to the ideals of the Pitaran code. Although I have worked hard on the path of a ranger as Orie taught me I have also kept up the joy and practised hard at the things you helped me to appreciate. I have drawn the portrait of lady and put to paper many great views of beauty. My skill is still better with my arts, but I have also learned new songs and worked hard to gain a singing voice close to Orie's. I have also learned to speak Elven and Dwarven and as I said before to cook. I am only a novice but I have made some good meals, let me cook for you later *smiles*.
I have also learned something about my future that disturbs me greatly, a advisor explained to me about the *blushes* blood moon and other such womanly things. I have to say I'm much happier with a bow or a quill in my hands! In saltmarsh a man tried to gain his way with me using something called an Aphrosiac the priestess we were helping called it! With the blessing's of Bahamut and the powers granted me from nature I had a delay poison spell already active so the effects did not kick in till I was safely back in the temple. The behaviour of some people still catches me by surprise to often!
There are a few things that concern me, I speak the truth as you taught me and have found on several occasions now people take it for being arrogant or some such, I merely state the facts of a situation or knowledge I am passing on. The second is my temper, I do not know if it is from growing up? I have found out that human teenage girls can be quite stroppy maybe, it does scare me sometimes father *looks into his eyes*. When I see cruelty or someone hurts someone I care for I see red and it feels like the fire burns hotter than ever inside of me. I do not know if it is this that has triggered it but my ability to breath fire replenishes as fast as a full dragon now? There were some locals who were spoiling for a fight with mason a changeling we travelled with and I, they were angry about the local druids and such were venting. One of them threw an insult out that fired my temper, it was a very nasty thing to say but I did lash out with my claws and scarred his check. I have never been out of control where I would have taken his life, but I could have restrained myself better. *sighs*, I do not mean to worry you father, I am just a little worries.
*Kat continues to cuddle up to her father*
