Character: Countess Melissa Varsaxoan of Heropta
It has been a very long time since I led anything resembling a carefree life. Once, when I was young child, I had uncle Dukon to sweeten the truth — even while our house was being dragged to its doom by Jaxor Blood-Sparrow, I still had little idea of how dire things were becoming. That naivete was, of course, thoroughly shattered as I watched Karthyn Delenel carve dear old Dukon into eight pieces alive.
To my knowledge, I am the only one to have escaped, the last my dynasty. I spent two decades moving across Malcois and beyond, ever vigilant of Karthyn henchmen. When I found out the bastard was sent to the Void, my joy was only nearly eclipsed by my envy for the person that did the deed. Soon after, I managed to secure a small army and retake my childhood home — or what was left of it, at least. It hasn't been just smooth sailing since then; times are tumultuous and nothing can be taken for granted, but I'm used to hardship.
I'll make do, as I always have.
