Miriam Gavrielle (Act II)

Posted 1 year ago

During a time of sanctioned hunts by the realms, many were imprisoned or killed, others fled to the gardens where fellow Nisrian sheltered them. Hunters of the Church, commissioned knights of the kingdoms as judge and executioners. Miriam and her mother fled to the wilds. This pattern continued on and off, trying to blend into society to avoid agents of the hunt.

Two critical events happened during these years for Miriam and Viktoria;

Ser Draken Dianisia sent for Miriam and Cachusa. Cachusa would leave Miriam in the care of Lady Prominette, carrying out other matters. The response from Viktoria was expected, but some of the wrath was checked Dianisia's daughter, Amunda.

They would become fast friends despite bouts. Though the abandonment felt would last for years, yet Miriam could say she was finally at peace within the walls of Estead. During a ball held by the Dianisia, Vladmir Blair would make his appearance and soon to follow, creatures both emanating auras of abominations and Penumbra would attack Estead. Cachusa would return in time to rescue Miriam, but House Dianisia would be lost that night as the foundation of the castle would fall into the sea.

Making their way into Isalme over the years, they would make their way to the village of Notte in Isalme. It was in this insignificant place that Miriam would befriend Huema of all things. She would never consider it such as she was at the doors of her coming of age.

Rumors had become common place from experience, but curiosity drew in a girl named Rema. Possessed a peculiarity in taking to fantasies of knighthood and adventure peasants couldn't hope to attain. Miriam would take to her and would share the more light-hearted aspects of her experience and travels. With Cachusa's approval, Miriam began to teach Rema how to read, write, swordplay in both Huema and Penumbra cultures.
