Name: Íreth
Concept/Bio:
The clan must come first.
That's all she ever heard. From her parents, from her friends, from her King. The needs of the clan must surpass the needs of the individual. But what if the needs of the clan weren't being met? Surely one would do whatever possible to make sure those needs were met. Yet, here they were, constantly traveling, making homes in unknown lands, avoiding conflict, and doing whatever possible to stay away from their homeland.
Íreth didn't understand it. They were capable fighters, hunters, gatherers; men and women who excelled in areas others wished they could. Yet, they were dealt a heavy loss from the Necromancer's onslaught on their home. That much was clear.
She knows what the King wants and why he does what he does. She gets it. However, there are things that could be done, places to go see, people to talk to. They don't have to keep running and hiding like a bunch of scared children. They were elves, this was beneath them.
Faeldor and her often went on walks in the forest together. Ever since their mother died, Faeldor took over the responsabilities of the family, much to Íreth's desires. He looked out for her and she appreciated it, but she knew she could do more.
"No," Faeldor said, "I will not have you running off to fight a losing battle. If the King were to find out, he would exile you, no question. You would have no home to come back to, even if you win."
"You don't know that," Íreth said, "We can't keep this up. We will have no home to run to if we keep moving. We need to start fighting back. You know it as much as I do."
Faeldor was silent. She could see it in his eyes, as if he was saying "Yes, but how?" She continued, "Just let me try. I can do this. I can go out, find allies who will help, gather information, and come back. If things go wrong, I'll return."
Faeldor sighed, "No matter what I say, you will just go out and do it anyway. You have always been stubborn, just like Mother." He nodded, "All right, I can keep the clan at bay for a time, maybe gather some allies here who can vouch for you, but that is all I can promise. If the King finds out, I cannot promise he will be lenient."
With that said, Íreth packed her things and went out. The journey towards the fight wasn't tough, but her thoughts weighed heavily on her. She was doing something she knew was wrong, but felt was right. That was the struggle in her head.
She camped often. She liked watching the forest. Listening to the songs of the flora and fauna around her. She would dance occasionally to their music, singing along as she did. She had little trouble, save for a hungry animal or two who didn't know better.
It wasn't until a few weeks of travels led her to an unknown land. It was there that she head the Dragon's roar...
