Birthright
A set of patchwork obsidian scales glittered as the golden rays of dawn began to creep in trough the cracks of the cabin's roof. The gentle warmth caused the gently lulling spear tipped obsidian scaled tail to swish back and forth as energy returned to the sleeping dragon.
"Seems dawn has seen it fit to bless me once more. Well might as well get started on this cursed day."
The figure groggily stood at her full 5ft 2in height before stumbling forth to the corner of the room to rustling trough her supplies. With her personal effects in hand she made her way to the cold morning waters of The Veiling Sea. The veils of dreams were washed away and replaced by revitalizing energy and dread for her upcoming journey.
With special care she dried her cyan highlighted shoulder length black hair taking special care around her pairs of black horns, one of which curved around her head from slightly above and behind where a human ears are positioned to just forward of her temple while the smaller pair of hollow black horns replace standard humanoid ears while growing forth to accent her eyes and curling along the shape of her head stopping short of the back of her head.
Once properly dry she happily adorns herself with simple black cloth tights, a fitted black hooded vest with cyan accents that has fringes that fell just above her knees in the front and back, a pair of black finger-less gloves, dark brown calf height leather boots, a pair of hanging gold beads brained into her bang to caress her face, her timeworn silver bracelet and lastly a matching pair of intertwining gold and silver promise rings on her ring fingers.
"Alrighty! Elisie. today we leave the nest behind! New adventure awaits! many exciting places to see and people to meet. Maybe even a lead to be have!" proclaims Elisie to the sky above as she gently slaps each of her cheeks.
Elisie with slightly shaking hands gathered up her belongings before placing them in an adventuring pack before rushing out of the dilapidated cabin she called home for so many years. Only stopping to give it one last pain filled look before turning and putting one foot in front of the other until the past lay behind her and the future was ahead of her.
The journey was an uneventful trek trough rough landscape until she stood upon a small hill looking down on the colorful clay tiled rooftops of Etherville, the capital of Marenveil. With a deep sigh Elisie took a snapshot of the sprawling coastal city that would serve as her new home for the next chapter of her life.
Elisie couldn't help but look around like a kid in a candy shop at the beautiful Mediterranean styled architecture as she walked along the cobblestone streets of Etherville. Elisie however became completely entranced once she made her way to the main docks. The sunlight looked like dancing sea serpents as it reflected off of the waters of the Veiling Sea and onto the various surfaces.
The fresh sea breeze filled her as she took in the various ships that brought many treasures from around the realm back to Marenveil. However there is one treasure in particular that Elisie sought which was the local adventure's guild.
Valkyria's Wings was a spiraling three story tower of silver embraced by an intertwined pair of golden wings and served as the hub for all adventuring activity throughout the realm of Marenveil and possibly what lies beyond. As the building properly came into view Elisie couldn't stop the small gentle curls of a smile from forming.
"Ah! There it is! Oh that is a lot bigger than I expected."
After several moments of hesitation and a deep breath, Elisie swung the heavy oaken doors of the guild open and took her official first step into her new life.
