The year is 1353, the existence of the Solace Clan was a mere myth, a clan of Draconic Decent, The clan lived hidden in peace for thousands of years, They were seen as protectors, a safe and peaceful clan until the birth of a strange child came to be.
The night the child was born, an odd man with bright red eyes that glow in the night appeared before the newborn girl.
"you will alter the future.. whether you like it or not~"
He laughs as he pressed his finger against the child's head, putting a curse onto her. After he leaves, the next morning a young clan member goes to meet the newborn, but he feels a strange Mana radiating from her. Upon feeling this strange sensation, he runs off to the head of the clan, Ardun Solace, a strong willed man with the signature crimson red eyes and hair of a Solace.
"There's just.. something about this child, I'm telling you! It's sickening."
A young clan member cries out to the Ardun, in an attempt to protect the clan and stay away from this accursed mana.
"That foul Mana leaking off of her! its that of Nightmare!"
Ardun fumes with anger, yelling out at the young man for accusing his child of being tainted with Nightmare.
"You assume someone of our blood would be tainted with such a cursed essence.. Especially my own daughter?!"
The man steps back, thinking before he speaks, preparing for what might come to him after the outburst.
"Yes.. Yes! I do assume! I fought against that disgusting curse before.. that child gives off that exact sense of nightmare!"
Outside, a group of mysterious people in cloaks form, they all raise their hands and begin to cast Destruction Type Magic, Raining down Fireballs onto the Solace Clans village
"What's going on!?" He runs outside, trying to find the cause of the destruction, upon seeing the mages, he begins to rush to the building where the newborn is being kept. "My child, I must protect my daughter.!"
He hurries and gathers the few remaining mages in the area to cast a perfect Time Stasis on the Crimson Eyed Child
"Do not delay! The future of the Solace clan is on the line here!"
a fireball strikes him directly in the back, a fatal wound. He yells out, resisting the burns forming on his body. After struggling and barely managing to stand, the spell succeeds and the child seemingly vanishes...
A second wave of Fireballs hit the clan's village, causing the roof to collapse on top of the mages and the Head of the clan. With the last of his lifeforce, he mutters a few words.
"Maya, you are the future of 'Solace", bring our clan succession..."
He takes his final breath and fades out to the afterlife...
The Year is 2036, A young girl runs wild through the small town of Aston, causing mayhem and trouble for the locals. This mayhem is a daily occurrence, and each day, the locals try to catch her and put the disturbance to rest.
"Come on! try a bit harder to catch me!!"
She laughs as she cuts through small passes between the tightly packed together buildings
"Get back here! You damned brat!"
They yell at the girl as she makes her escape once again, leaving the locals behind, she sits down in a hidden place, pulling out a piece of bread she had stolen from a local shop.
"Phew! they almost got me today, I was running extra hard today!"
She lays back, enjoying the food she had "earned".
"Ahh.. That really hits the spot! I've been starving like crazy!"
Maya lays back, looking at the now fading sun, the daylight fades out, introducing the night sky.
"I'm really tired.."
Maya sighs, finishing her food.
"running so dang much takes a lot outta me... maybe a short nap wouldn't hurt..."
She closes her eyes and slowly falls asleep...
