"Everything is going perfectly as planned." my master says that i am bound to. the meeting ends as quick as it began. employment is going slow and i am wandering aimlessly about looking for something to do. Then i spot her it is my love yet she does not know it. i say hi and give her a hug like i always do and ask her if shed join me, ofcourse she replies with a yes as i know she would we have been a team for a good while. As im dancing around the steps to the gate i notice a strange bat flying towards us, i take no heed of it at first just thinking it is some mages familiar when it approaches me. it does not speak or nothing but fly circles around me. i become very interested in the creature so i attempt to communicate with it and it wants me to follow it. i think to myself it could be a trap by an unseen enemy so i decide to enlist the aid of some good friends. after much debating i gather a team up to travel to where this creature wants to take me.

We reach the city gates and head into the mines with my warrior friend and two of my invisible teamates walking behind in case of an ambush. we follow this creature into the caves and near dark lake. then we enter a small cave in the wet caves that i had not been before and the i watch in awe as the creature i had just followed turn into a human form. i stare at her in amazement confused and not understanding what had just happened. she stares intently at me as i do the same watching her every movements like a hawk ready to spring into action at any moment. then she begins to speak to me. She says to me "welcome home lost sister." at this time i am beyond confused and i just stood there silent unable to speak a word, she then tells me of a past that i was not familliar with, the legend of the druids of the grey circle. she tells me that she is one of the only surviving members of the inner society as she called them. then she takes my hand and says

"Here let me show you." as she beckons us to follow her unaware of my two mage friends following undetected. we seeked passages the the north shore through the kuo and found ourselves standing on an island that i have never seen before. she leads us through danger after danger righting merciless lizard men bent on tearing us to pieces when we reach a strange set of ruins. she stares intently at me as i do the same watching her every movements like a hawk ready to spring into action at any moment. then she begins to speak to me.

I tell myself that i need to rest and that the next day will be a new experience and with that afteri i say goodnight to my friends i fall asleep in my room.

The next morning started out like a normal morning till i found a job that in the temple of hoar that consumed the life of one of my allies, still shocked from the loss of my friend i continue through the day making it seem as if nothing ever happened. thinking to myself i need to talk to miss Delly about recent events. My master comes to me and offers me a job that i graciously accepted along with a few others and vence my brother in crime. while getting ready to go i spot my love and give her the biggest hug ever and told her i needed to talk to her. I explained about the druids and how they found me last night and she started wondering about what is happening in the world. she felt that something was amiss in my thoughts and she pulled my hood and mask away and stared into my red evilish eyes and i could see her pain as well as she could feel mine, and she hugged me and i couldnt control my tears anymore. she pulled me closer to her and she told me not to cry and asked what was wrong and i told her that i did not wish to kill anymore after seeing what evil schemes and plots did to nature itself. she told me that this was a grave matter and that it would be spoken of again later after our job was finished. Trolls had become extremely ruthless and hunting human so we banded a team together to stop this threat. Near the end of our journey we noticed another hole leading into some secret troll buriel ground. we met a couple of elven slaves that had been captured after we dealt with th remaining trolls.when all seemed done we left and headed to home, after we got our share of loot and coin of course.

Our team disbanded and i was on my own to get home so i took the closest path that led through the canal ward. i cross the ricketyold stick bridge when something strikes out of nowhere and rips a small tear into my cloak. not knowing what it was i ran thinking i was being attacked. i got to the lower sanctuary and i started sensing an animals thoughts. it seemed angry and dissapointed, not realizing what was goin on i felt like in a trance i went back to see what it was that attacked me. i saw it murder a child and with no emotion shown what so ever i attempted to communicate with the beast. i had seen it before and i knew it was a sign from malar. i quickly tried to communicate with it as i watched it devour that kids body and then i felt its thoughts flow like water into mine, the creature looked at me and asked if i was hungry and without a secind guess i said yes and tore a chunk of meat off the kid and ate it splattering blood all over my body. after i ate my fill it was easier to communicate with the creature and i was able to pet it. Then two warriors came through and attacked the creature so it ran at full speed to escape. i searched over and over for the creature but to no avail so i decided to head back to the rock and rest., as i entered the rock intense pain latched hold of me and a voice echoed through me.

"You follower of Malar i am angry and displeased with you." my head racked with pain i lost control of all of my emotions and actions and started to threaten everyone in the rock attempting to aggravate someone. i finally took matters into my own hands and punched my master out of pure hatred and then cast darkness on myself. The rock went into utter chaos as i attempted to kill a paladin and a mage hitting them blow after blow, and then i cast haste on myself to make aquick exit before my dshroud had lifted. i travelled for hours on end back to the only sfae haven i had left. in the druid cave of grizabella

there i set up traps to protect my place of refuge to ward out others attepting to find me. eyes still burning with hatred and pain. then i met another druid. she sensed my pain but knew there was nothing she could do about it. she gave me two choices. to ask for the druids protection and the other to go back and face certain death at the hands of the angry mob. confused and dazed i remembered one thought and it shone through like lighting, My love for miss delly. at that moment i knew i had to return to her so i ventured forth towards the mob of people and found them with mis delly at their sides, my head full of shame and dissapointment hung low as i walked up to them. I had thought this crowd was bent on finding me to kill me but was i much mistaken wehn i was welcomed with open arms. someone spread the rumor that i was kidnapped and they all had come looking for me. i had walked up to my love and she grinned at me and told me than she needed to talk to me. so she took me aside and demanded an explanation. so i told her about the sign of malar and the weakening of my strength. and she pulled my hood and mask down again and looked into my evil red eyes and began to tear up as she hugged me and said that she was happy i was safe. She told me that she would protect me from the insanity i had caused. we turned to head back to sanctuary when three or four druids appeared asking me for my choice. i looked at my blood stained clothing and looked at the druids, then looked at miss delly and i said that i have two choices to make, to follow love or a new way of life, i turned to miss delly and said i choose love.
