[Esmera]

Esmera Alhewin (I made the last name for my chars in Guild Wars) is the daughter of a Dark Elf couple, her parents were travelling traders. Her father (they don't have a name yet) would buy weapons, armors and materials in a city to resell in another, while her mother would craft Accessories like Hairpins and Animal Ears to sell.

Young Esmera loved that life of travelling all over the world, always seeing new places. Money was never a problem, the family wasn't rich, but had more than enough to live an easy life. She was really close to her parents, her father would show her the work of a trader, hoping that one day she would be one, and always giving her gifts, while her mom would show her how to craft accesories, while keeping her best creations for her daughter.

Sadly, 1 day,when she was a teenager(can we say that for a DE?) this easy life stopped abruptly. While traveling from Giran to Aden, the were ambushed by a group of bandits, a mixed group of human and orcs. Her father told her to run, she did, she always did what her father wanted. But after running for a long time, she realized that her parents weren't following her. She stopped then started running again, this time in the opposite direction, backtracking her steps. That's when she saw a scene of nightmare, her parents were lying dead, they still had weapons in their hands, they had died fighting.

She was now alone.

But right there, seeing the bodies of her parents, the kart used to keep the wares emptied, the family strider gone, she didn't feel saddness. No, her Dark Elf blood was boiling inside her, she was feeling something that she had never felt in her life, rage. A total and unforgiving rage to thoses who hade done that. She wanted revenge.

She took the dagger from her father' hand, then started following the trail of the killers. At night, she finally found them, they had been drinking, probably celebrating their "good fortune" of finding loot worth millions. Most of them were now asleep or comatose because of the alchool. They never eard the young Dark Elf coming in the night, killing them one by one.

When it was over, when they were all dead, when her revenge was done, when she finally realized everything that had happenned that day, she felt on the ground crying. She cried for hours, surrounded by the bodies of people she herself killed.

At dawn, she came to her sences, took everything she could from the stolen wares and strapped it on her family's strider that they had also took, and got back to her parents.

After giving them a proper grave, she went back to Giran and sold everything that was left. She had made a decision, she wanted to become strong, and skilled. She wanted to learn how to protect herself and others from the evil of this world. She choose to become a Knight of Shilen, a Knight with strengt in both physical force and magic.

That was her past, now to her present.

Now, Esmera is finally a Shillien Knight, but years of studies and training drained the money that she had left. Needing new gear, she used the knowledge given by her parents to make money. She quickly realized that she loved trading and that it was something that she missed.

So now Esmera is half-time training her body and mind to become a better Knight and half time continuing the trading tradition of her family.

Her parents were washing the dishes and preparing the camp for the night.

The sun was starting to go down.

The little girl was following an elpy that had pass near her. It was so cute! She wanted to catch it and show it the her parents!

But the little thing didn't want to be catch and started jumping away.

The little girl followed, still wanting to catch it, but then it was gone. Nowhere to be seen.

The little girl looked around... she didn't know where she was...

She had followed the elpy in the forest and now she was lost.

The fear grew in her "Mommy! Daddy!" no answer. The fear was getting stronger "MOMMY!!" "DADDY!!".

Tears started to fall from her eyes. And her voice started to go down as the fear was going up "Mommy... Daddy... help me..."

Eyes...

Eyes in the bushes...

A sound.. . GRRRRRR

A mouth with sharp teeth...

A wolf. A hungry Wolf..

Her father told her one time wolf were dangerous.

Now she was paralize by fear.

"Dad..." She wasn't able the finish her phrase, the wolf had jumped to get her.

He was getting near.

But as he was doing his last jump to get his pray, the wolf catch on fire and falled on the ground dead.

"Lost little girl?"

A big green lady, she new her race, she was an Orc.

The afraid little girl, just jumped in the arms of the lady that had just saved her.

"I want mommy..." And she started crying again, her head on the shoulder of the green lady.

"Shhh... Little girl is safe now..."

The skin of the lady was hot as if a fire was burning inside her, but the heat made the little girl feel safe.

She falled asleep...

-------------

"ESMERA!!!!" "ESMERA!!!"

Voices! Her parent voices!

She woke up, it was morning.

The first thing the little girl saw was her parents getting in the forest clearing.

The tiredness and anxiety in their faces disapeared as they saw their daughter safe.

"Esmera, thank Shilen you are safe!"

"Mommy! Daddy!"

The girl jumped on her mothers arms, her mother huged her back tears of happyness in her eyes, her father was smiling.

"Were is the green lady"
"Which green lady honey?"
"The lady that saved me from the meany wolf"

"Dear, do you think?..." said her mother.

"Yes she is probably the one who left us marking to get here" responded her father.

"Hello! Are you here?" shouted the father.

No answer.

"I guess she is gone now honey... Let's get back to the city." said her mother.

The little girl looked on last time at the clearing and said

"Thank you"

[Esmera]

She had cried all night

Tears of sadness and tears of relief were falling down her eyes.

The last days, since she met so many new people, and felt som many new emotions had been confusing, but not as much as the last night.

The night had a good start thought, she was walking through Dion and asked a guard if he had see Kirisa of the sentries. He said that he had, he saw her going around the temple. She smiled and start walking toward the Temple, as she went around it, her heart jumped as she saw Kirisa and Tregarde togheter. But then she also noticed Christy was there....

Christy...

The only time she had met her, she seemed like a nice person, maybe a little to forward for her tastes, but she knew that a lot of women of her own race were like that.

But now, her feelings for Tre and Risa were clear to her, and she felt jealousy toward Christy, the women that shared a place with Tre and Risa that her own heart was claiming for with all his might.

She decided to go to them anyway, asked to sit with them which they accepted and start chatting away. All this time she tried her best to avoid Christy eyes and also avoiding to keep her eyes to long on Tre and Risa.

But then Christy asked something, and a this monent she knew that Christy was suspecting her love for them.

"How much are thoses hairpins are worth on the market"

The hairpins... the gifts she gave Tre and Risa a couple of night ago, a gift worth so much that it couldn't be only for aquaintances. It was a gift of her love and now Christy surely knew it.

The fear grew in her, the fear of being discovered, not by Christy, but by the object of her love. Being discovered could mean losing them forever. Which would broke her.

She try to remain calm, still talking with them but then it happen. Christy started to get close to Tre and Risa, and she saw her reactions and jealous looks.

"Spill it"

"I saw how you reacted, what are you hiding?"

The tone of her voice left no doubt, she knew. And wanted her to admit it. But she couldn't... not like this.. not with her here....

"I... I have to go...."

She got up and started running, tears starting to fall from her eyes. She falled crying. Thnking that it was over, they would know now, and abandonned her since they had no place for her...

Then Tre came wanting to know what was wrong.

At that moment, she decided to do what she should have dome earlier. She took Tre in her arms and passionately kissed her....

"I love you... and Kirisa... with all my heart"

After that the memories of the night are nothing but a blur.

She remember talking a lot to Tre, saying I'm sorry too many time to count, Tre showing kindness.

After a while she remember asking to be left alone to think, saying that Tre should go talk to Risa. That if they wanted to meet her, she'd be in the Temple.

After a while Tre came back with Risa, again she had to tell her love, that she was so sorry about this. That she didn't want to place herself between them. That she didn't want to be lonely again.

She received kindness from Tre and Kirisa.

But now the 3 seemed confused about it all.

She remembers leaving them alone, and finding an quiet hidden spot, were she started crying again until she had no more tears to shed.

She was afraid now.... but also relieved that they finally knew.

But she could not stop wondering about what would the futur will bring...

Esmera woke up as the sun went in by the still undraped windows of her new place. She looked at Andella, still asleep next to her, naked as she was herself, and smiled. Looking at her, here in this place, Esmera felt like her life was finally whole, feeling something that she didn’t feel for a long time… complete happiness.

The day before had been interesting to say the least, around noon, Tregarde and Kirisa arrived at Esmere’s new place in Heine, where Esmera and Andella where already waiting, to help Esmera move in. Most of the furniture had already been delivered the day before, and Es knew very well that she could have made all the remaining boxes delivered too, but she thought it could be fun to move with the help of her friends.

So they started moving all the boxes from the warehouse to the appartement, then when all was there they started to empty them and place everything under Es’s careful instructions. Most of the furniture and stuff were all new, she had bought everything after finding the place, and she already knew where everything was going.

Around dinner time, a lot of the work was done, just the finishing touch like putting drapes and such remained to do, so Es went out to buy some food for everyone, she brought back enough food for dinner and for a meal the next day, dry meat, cheese, fruits, sweet apple juice. As she came back, she also opened a bottle of Dreviant wine, her favourite, from her private reserve which was now in her place. The girls started eating and drinking and were having a really good time, talking and laughing like friends do.

After the sun went down, Tre and Risa decided it was time for them to leave and get back to the Inn they were living in. After many thanks by Esmera and some goodnight from everyone, they left leaving Es and Della alone.

“Maybe…you should… stay here for tonight” said Es to Della, which she accepted, blushing a little.

After the long day, they were both feeling a little tired and Es thought that a bath would be a good idea, as the lukewarm water flowed in the bath, Es thought about something, blushed and told Della “The bath is big enough for both of us…no use taking turn really…” and started taking of her clothes, getting naked from the first time in front of someone else since she was a fully grown women. Andella shyly looked away at first then started taking off her clothes too, then both went into the water.

For a time, they both just stare at each other, not knowing what to say or do, but then Es decided to start washing and massaging Della’s body, even touching her at places she never touched someone before, and Della started to do the same to Es. And as thing went farther, they both experienced something new to them, sharing their body and giving themselves completely to each other. Even if their movements were a little awkward this being new to both of them, Es was feeling so good, something she had never felt before in her life, for a moment she felt she was one with Della.

As they finished and dried up, they went into Esmera’s big bed, and started to share their love another time... this time both a little more confident in what they were doing. After it was done, they both felt asleep in each others arms, tired from the day and their night together.

Now Es was awake, and decided to get up and prepare some breakfast, she went out of the bed, being careful not to wake Della and went for the kitchen area. There she realized she was still naked, but didn’t feel a need to dress. At all time in her life she had been afraid to get naked fearing to somebody might see her, not that she was uncomfortable of her body, she liked wearing revealing dress after all, but she couldn’t let anyone see her completely naked. But now, that fear was just a faint memory, people could see her from the undraped windows and she didn’t care much, the person the most important for her had seen her first and it was all the mattered to Es now.

So she took some plates and cups, served two glasses of apple juice and cut some fruits slices which she put in the plates, then she took it all to the table next to the bed.

She got back in the bed, pressed her body onto Della’s body, kissed her then whispered in her ear “Della, wake up sweetie…”

[Esmera]

The drunken haze her mind was in wasn’t helping her feeling any better.

She was alone sitting at a table in the Tavern in Dion, several empty bottles of wine in front of her, the event of the day turning over and over in her clouded mind, understanding even less each time.

She difficultly poured herself another drink, her hand shaking by the drunkenness, getting wine all around her glass on the table.

Strong feelings were inside her, remorse, guilt, sadness, anger….

Remorse and guilt toward Geldriia, knowing now what she meant days earlier when she said that Es was too friendly with her. Realizing that she did have others feelings for Gel then she had for her other friends, but that those feelings were not romantic, she was seeing Gel as the sister she never had, but her way of displaying it made Gel believe it was romantic love Es was feeling for her. Leading her to kiss Es and admitting that she liked her.

Remorse and Guilt for having to reject Gel, and not having been there when Gel confronted Della and told her what happened.

Sadness because of Della, who was still unable to say the 3 words Es wanted to hear from her so much.

Sadness for Della, who had lost trust in Geldriia, her friend, after she learned that she kissed Es.

Sadness that Della had to go and leave her alone, here, with everything that had happenned.

Sadness for Gel, who was betrayed in such a cruel way on this same day, learning that the men showing interest in her went to her only for a cruel test orchestrated by Christana and Kirisa.

Anger…..

A deep anger toward toward Christy and Risa, how could have they done something like this to a friend….how? How come Risa didn’t realize that something like this could break friendships and even the whole clan? How could breaking the heart of a friend could be considered a test to join?

Anger toward Makora, how can that men could go wilfully with a plan like that and expect to be accepted in the clan by the other members after it? Why did he accept a test that was sure to go so wrong?

All these questions in her head but no answers….

Esmera drink the rest of her last glass of wine, place her head on the table and her close her eyes, more comatose because of the alcohol than asleep……
