Title:
Rebirth
Oh, I remember very little clearly. It tends to happen when your mind is shredded and reassembled. Memories tend to blend with each other. But this is something unforgettable, and unforgivable.
I was a Horse Trader, in my previous life. I sold poorly bred horses that looked like Stallions to unsuspecting Asgarnians, and got rich from them. Yet, it came back to bite me one day. The man was a Wizard, brown beard and black robes, and bought a white "stallion." I knew he would be angry later, but I'd be long gone. Except I wasn't. The man found me.
And he loved the horse enough that he produced a gold ring, diamonds set within it. He proposed to me, as I slipped the ring on my finger. That is when I knew something was wrong.
Everything went dark, I couldn't hear what was around me. I didn't know it then, but the man sent me to the Shadow Realm, and the ring was a one way ticket. It wouldn't take me back out. It was miserable.
I was corrupted, and Gods, I felt it. My mind began to break, I got taller, thinner, and bustier. My mind drifted often, as I learned shadow magic from shadow elementals. Eventually Daddy came and freed me.
Daddy brought me back to Gielinor, and it was as bright and green as I remembered. Though, different. I had come to realize this was all just a game.
Daddy taught me how to go in and out of the Shadow Realm, which I perfected easily. Whatever happened to me, the Shadow Realm and Gielinor alike loved me, always pulling and drawing me back and forth. I feel as if I'm in both and neither at the same time.
Daddy saved me. Daddy gave me purpose. I will serve Sliske, because Sliske and his followers saved me.
