====Mortal World====
Anya Maximof was born as the fourth child in a family of five children to Mila and Olav Maximof in a small suburb on the outskirts of Orsk, Russia. Although her family was poor it was rumored that her great great grandmother had once descended from a royal line which gave her parents pride and an iron spine, for better and worse.  Her early life was fine until her father Olav hurt his back in a work accident and could no longer work to support the family; her mother, now the sole income provider, could barely make enough for everyone to eat. Eventually her older siblings got jobs to help support the family or moved to get away from their parents' constant drinking. Anya, not being very clever, was pulled out of school at age 15 to work in the supermarket. She eventually got enthralled by the crappy fitness gym across the street and got herself a secret membership, going there every moment she could and constantly training her body. She eventually gained a traineeship there, mainly in taking group classes in HIIT, boxing, spin, tai chi and pole. The gym turned into her haven and place of safety, and training her body made her feel like she finally had control over one thing in her life.
Although it seemed that she had finally found her place in the world, tragedy struck when it was discovered that her oldest brother Yuri was in significant debt to some local mobsters that had started threatening his life and the life of their parents. In order to save the family her father and mother believed it would be best if they could find one of their daughters a rich husband.
Anya came home from the gym late one day to find her brother Yuri, her mother, and her father sitting at the kitchen table waiting for her. They told her that they had found her a husband in Napoli Italy and that this man was willing to have Anya for his wife in exchange for a hefty sum of money they would not only pay off Yuri’s debts but the house as well. Although Anya cried and yelled, her family was able to convince and gaslight her into doing this willingly. So she packed her bag and flew to Italy with her mother and was married a week later. The day after the wedding her mother flew home leaving her alone in a strange place with a strange man who was now her husband.
Anya Cavallio nee Maximof found her husband Giovanni to be lovely at first, even if he was nearing his mid 60s. He bought her lessons in Italian so they could talk, he bought her a new wardrobe filled with glorious clothes and he even bought a small home gym just for her. She reveled in it. Never before had she had new clothes or such devine luxuries and for a month or two she was happy enough but the more Italian she learnt the more she understood what little freedom she truly had.
She was not allowed to choose what she wore, she was not allowed to choose what she ate, she had to spend her days cleaning, cooking and working out in the tiny gym he had provided that now felt more like a prison than a sanctuary. She poured every ounce of frustration and anger she possessed day and night into that boxing bag, that treadmill, that set of weights, that tiny room.
When she finally asked to join a large gym outside of the house it resulted in a massive argument, showing the true ugly side of her husband. Now she finally realized that she was not allowed to leave the house either, the gravity of her imprisonment slapping her in the face, her husband locking her in every time he left.  After weeks of sulking she discovered a way of sneaking out of the house through a window during the day, always ensuring that she would be home well before her husband.
She would now spend a couple hours a day searching the streets looking for people to help her or even just to talk to. She found a small group of wonderful people led by a strong and beautiful man called Mahmoud. She quickly integrated well into the group, diving head first into the strange things they did as she found that this new connection gave her life a renewed meaning. She wiggled herself closer to Mahmoud and he seemed to favor her, he was her light, her savior, a walking prophet in her eyes and every moment with him and serving him was a blessing. He comforted her and encouraged her, made her feel stronger and that her cage was holding her back, her keeper merely an obstacle in the way to be overcome.
Anya started to push her boundaries, arriving later and later into the prison that was her home, the beatings she took when she was caught she endured with a fire of hatred.
