I wrote a short story for my GW2 character. Here is the short(er) version of it. Let me know what you think and feel free to post your story!!
************************
My elementalist will be the great-great grand daughter of my main GW character.
Here is a short history.
After bearing the scars of living a heroine's life, Onyx's (my GW main) daughter swore she would never use magic (even though she was blessed with an arcane surge passed down from her mother) after learning of the events that distroyed her mother Onyx and her father Aylendor.
Aylendor, Onyx learned, was the spawn of Menzies the Mad and a necromancer so evil no one dare speak her name. After months of planning, Onyx decided to implement a plan to rid the world of her husband, a man responsible for much of the destruction and misery transgressed upon the people of Tyria and the unknown cause of her constantly being called to battle.
Onyx took her daughter Jade to her friend and fellow elementalist to keep her safe. She drew her husband Aylendor to the distant land called Sacnoth Valley once rich and dense in vegetation.
There in Sacnoth Valley, Aylendor, upon learning of his wife's discovery of his true identity, sunk into an abyss of melancholy. Although they were motivated by opposing ideology, they shared a true love. Onyx pleaded with her husband to forsake his father and the philosophy which drove him to an insatiable hunger for power and domination. Much to Aylendor's chagrin, he knew his father would never allow Onyx to live knowing what she did, and Jade would either be raised as a child of darkness, or a slave.
Aylendor's melancholy turned to anger, then rage as his hunger for blood was the only thing greater than his love for Onyx and a fierce battle ensued between the two. Both fire elementalists, they called upon the great powers of fire in a magical dance of death. As glowing embers softly floated against the darkened skies, Aylendor's charred corps lay among the ashes and scorched remnants of a once fertile Forrest. Onyx stood starring at his charred remains and became overcome with grief. In a moment of her deepest despair, she bellowed and loud shriek and at that very moment all the elemental forces which she was meticulously taught to control all her life was simultaneously released and consumed her, leaving behind a molten crater know today as the Fissure of Woe.
When neither Onyx or Aylendor returned to reclaim Jade, she was raised by her guardian. Jade, not knowing of the cataclysmic events that took her parents from her, felt abandoned and rejected the life her parents led for a more domestic and less adventurous one. She later married and bore 9 children including her 5th child, a girl named Malorith.
Malorith was raised as a normal child who was anything but. She quickly showed a propensity for magic. At the age of 13 she witnessed a bear charging at her brother Elias. She screamed "Elias, RUN!" and pointed at the bear charging him. Just at that moment, a fireball erupted from her pointing finger as a flaming arrow and quickly covered the distance between her, Elias, and finally the bear. It not only killed the bear, but continuing to travel wrapped itself around and up her mother's favorite apple tree reducing it to a stump.
Jade approached Malorith slowly, shaking and slack jawed. She soon took relentless action to suppress the use of magic by her daughter fearing it would lead to the same end as her mother, whatever that was. Malorith grew up knowing she was different and secretly practicing and honing her skills unbeknownst to her mother. In time Malorith grew to be one of the most powerful Elementalist in the area but she respected her mother's wishes that she not show the world her gift.
After falling in love with her childhood friend, Malorith married Naben, a power Mesmer in his own right, yet honorable and full of charity. Together they had 7 children and their 4th child, at the age of only 2 began to exhibit her own powers.
Malorith and Naben both had a vision of their daughter and knew once they saw magic in her, that the visions were a prophecy. They hid their child's talent from the world knowing that there would be some who would seek to kill her upon learning of a child so young with this gift. The secretly worked hard to not only teach their daughter how to become stronger and control the elements, but they also taught her to be honorable and humble.
The name of this child will be revealed at game launch and maybe I will elaborate more on the story and back story!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
