Bidee's story
Posted: 25 Nov 2006 02:59 PM |
Prolog
She woke up in a shadowy room. At first she could barely see, just red, and black, and red again, as her head throbbed painfully. She tried to sit up, but as soon as her head had lifted from the soft pillow, she slipped away from consciousness again.
The next time she awoke, Bidee (which she now remembered was her name) could see the sillouette of a lady standing over her. Her head still hurt, but her vision was returning. As 'the groggies' (as she called it, anyway) went away, she began to ask questions.
A masked human had left her on the doorstep of the order of the sisters. Nobody at the order knew the man, but they nursed Bidee back to health, because thats just what they do.
Once Bidee was feeling well enough to go out again, she discovered that nobody in Port knew who she was. She realized that aside from her name, and obvious features, she had no idea who she was either.
Though the sisters told her it was amnesia, the strange green tint to her skin that faded from her skin as she recovered told her that perhaps the bump of her head might not have anything to do with her loss of memory. Bidee thought she heard the word whispered in the shadows.. "poison." |

Beginning to remember
Posted: 25 Nov 2006 03:11 PM |
After a heavy blow to the head, dealt by a soon-to-be-slain mountain giant, Bidee found her mind shrouded with darkness, and her face: planted in a mound of soil. Her faithful companions rushed about, trying to find a way to reawaken their small friend. Perhaps, though, their lack of speed was for good.
As her body, bruised and broken, lay on the ground, Bidee began to dream.
She saw the beaming faces of her parents. They looked so proud of their latest find. It was a wonderful shiny. And full of magic. When their daughter grew older, they would give it to her as a gift. The way her parents figured, Bidee had perfect genetics, and would be the perfect misadventurer. Bidee saw the place her parents had stashed the shiny in her dream. She knew not where that was, though.
In her dream, Bidee felt that something horribly wrong was about to happen. There was a knock on the door. As Bidee helplessly watched, her mother opened the door.
And then Bidee woke up. |

A second dream
Posted: 27 Nov 2006 06:17 PM |
She saw her parents' bodies on the floor, skin turning blue, faces in crimson puddles. She stood eyes wide. Her eyes fixated on the parents' palor, even as she was hoisted up, stabbed shallowly in the leg. And carried away.
All went dark again.
She saw a flash. Dropped on her head on the Sisters' steps.
Flash.
Awake again, faced with a terrifying little girl. |
