Come sit let me tell you a story of a time forgotten battels never mentioned in the books. A story of a warrior trying to avenge and re-strengthen her family's name.
This story begins in a era of war and disarray for, arch mages of the main 4 kingdoms start trying to partake in darker magics, and the mystical beings of the dark forest (named for the dark power that emanates from it) started to fight against them for they believed that using these darker magics would bring mass destruction and, lord they where right.
Not long after the ensuing war between humans and those of the forest, a dark being was released due to the mages trifling with things beyond their comprehension. Even though they hated doing so the mages listened to the forest dwellers who had roamed this planet for hundreds of years before humans. They joined forces to put an end to the beasts reign of terror and destruction. Although do to the use of dark magic the land had become scarred by evil and beings of darkness roamed these once peaceful lands. From that darkness was born a race of beings that (even though had natural control of the darkness) where peaceful, but the humans where unsure of them and decided they where a threat that needed to be removed. The only thing that stopped the humans was the un-survivability of the cursed lands.
For years the race now know as the blood elves, lived in those lands for the out-casting from humans. But eventually a king saw they where a peaceful people and invited them in to his kingdom with open arms. At the same time a race of werewolves and not your traditional werewolves had moved in to the kingdom in secret. But these half wolf half man beings have several forms a human one one where they show their ears and tail but still look mostly human, and a wolf form. They also have a from where they look human no ears no tail. To ease the fear of other humans they would often use this form in public areas.
Now these werewolves where peaceful. Just as well they meant no harm and fell in with the blood elves. With the obvious difference from humans it caused both races to become close and often form bonds. From these bonds where born children half werewolf and half blood elf. But the only problem with this was those children often struggled to hide their ears and tail. Now as is always the case dark forces will always manipulate others and bigots rein. See the old mages who where presumed dead where actually far from it. See from their tampering in the dark magics, they where cursed unable to die. And well you see they hated the dark elves and werewolves for no real good reason. Mainly just because they where different. Or maybe its because they are a reminder of the failure of the old arch mages. But never the less they had control of the other kingdoms with promises of immortality to the other kings. And from spies they had planted learned of the breeding between the werewolves and blood elves.
This enraged the old arch mages. Soon lies started to spread that the two races were banding together to overthrow the humans. This of course being a lie, the kingdom that had brought them in defended them. This lead to the kingdoms going to war. Resulting in the destruction of the kingdom that had welcomed them, and they systematic execution of their collective races not all where killed, but all were hunted. This is where our journey begins.
Phoenix was a hybrid of the strongest of both races (werewolves and blood elves) and so her parents ran to hide her away to keep her safe, but in doing so paid with their lives but she was able to be taken to safety due to her aunt, a werewolf. Phoenix had to, mostly on her own learn how to control the power within her not because her aunt didn't care but because her power accidently caused her aunts death roughly at age 5. Phoenix at age 14 learned what had happened to her people. See the kingdom that had brought her people in had lost and was destroyed. Now all the blood elves and werewolves are in hiding. She decided at 19 to venture out and see what was left of the fallen kingdom.
