Mystic Rose

Grandmaster Warrior

The Shield Award

Born many years after my 9 brothers and sisters, I was often overlooked. While my mother and father were always busy in the tailor shop they ran, I would often sneak away unnoticed. I would wonder about the Town of Yew, watching, listening and learning, just taking in everything.

As I grew, I loved to venture into the forest just outside of town. I would spend hours dreaming, writing and learning the plants and flowers. Often wondering what secrets they held within there beauty. Often I would see a strong handsome young man shooting his bow or fighting invisible monsters. After months of watching him from my hidden spot in the trees, I finally got the nerve to speak to him. I learned his name was Sean, son of the farmer Stephen Black. After seeing his smile and the laughter in his eyes, I knew my heart was his.

Each day thereafter, I would sneak into the forest in hopes of speaking to him again. But never again did I see him there. My heart laden with sadness, I threw myself into my father's work, learning the craft his father taught him. I grew further into my quiet ways, dreaming and writing as only I could do. People coming into my parents shop would often comment to my father that with my striking red hair and bluegreen eyes, I should soon be married. Father would laugh and say "She has too many hearts yet to break!" Hearing this my thoughts would instantly go to that smile, those laughing eyes, knowing I would see him again one day.

As my skills surpassed my father's he made arrangements with the masters in Delucia, to take me on as an apprentice. I quickly learned the skills being taught and moved on to a shop in Papua.

Battles were constantly breaking out around Papua. Bandits were running the countryside. One summer's evening a band of knights entered the shop where I was working. They were most impressive in their red cloaks and body sashes. Due to the quality of the work they came by often. On one of their return trips, a knight I hadn't seen before entered. My heart nearly stopped, fore standing before me was that smile and the laughing eyes I so adored as a child. He stared at me as if he had seen a ghost. He said he had returned to Yew in search of me after joining the Knights of Britannia, only to be told I was gone. Not wanting to lose me again, he spoke with the others of KOB. I joined their ranks as a tailor.

Under the guidance of these great warriors, mages and craftsmen my skills began to grow. I seemed to have a flair for the mace and chose my path as a warrior. My attachments and friendships grew strong within KOB. They have become my family. One member became much more than a friend. In a quiet ceremony on the shores of Cove, I wed Sirus Falden. Life within KOB has brought much Honor, Pride, Friendship and Love into my life. With Loyalty, Honor and Justice I have risen within the ranks of KOB. I serve now as the 9th Guild Mistress of KoB.
