Freya Swales

**Freya Swales** was the sister of Alenia Swales and, after the death of her mother and father, was the next in line for the throne of Ullamel. She was a natural born sorcerer, something rare within the Aquatic Elven race, and thus was used to become the Keeper of the Abyss.

## Biography

### **Younger Years**

Growing up, Freya and Alenia had a very friendly and loving relationship, often opposing their parents' rule over Ullamel and was disapproving of their monarchist system which they were born in to.

Freya was a natural born sorcerer, which was rare with Aquatic Elves, with only one in a generation throughout the whole race being born with natural magical abilities. Due to this, Freya was sent to a specific school for sorcery to train these talents throughout a lot of her formative years. Her status as a sorcerer as well as being within Ullamel's royal family made her the "people's princess" and regarded with much renown from the public of Ullamel, where Alenia was often a secondary thought in public opinion.

### Keeper of the Abyss

Unknown to Alenia, Freya had been enlisted to become the Keeper for the Abyss - a title and role given to all the natural born sorcerers within the Aquatic Elven race. This was a completely secretive role only known to Freya's immediate mentors and teachers, and the ruling parties of Ullamel. The role consisted of Freya having to maintain a concentration spell constantly to keep a magical barrier over the Abyss which Ullamel laid on the border of. Alenia was made unaware of this, and once Freya had been placed in the position, Alenia had assumed she had gone missing.

Alenia's family had kept Freya's position a secret from Alenia, though Freya tried to alleviate Alenia's concern for her by saying that she had run away from Ullamel and gone missing. However, this lead to Alenia to her venture above the surface to try and find her. Freya was eventually discovered by Alenia Swales, as well as Sentinel, Cernyw Hir, Gillius Vermenor, Zoouum, and Helter Skeletor. She was taken away from the hidden temple used to concentrate on the spell, ending and breaking the barrier over the Abyss.

### Reconciliation

Freya's constant concentration (which made her unable to sleep) resulted in her being one level of exhaustion away from death. Alenia had taken her, but awoke her to try and get an explanation. Freya eventually explained the situation to Alenia, leading to a somewhat antagonistic relationship between the two sisters.

While the two had begun understanding each other, with Freya still proclaiming her love for Alenia, Charlotte Ton had told her that she suspected Alenia "hated" her. This led to an extreme sadness from Freya, who adjourned to a room she was given on board the Horizonblaster 10,000.

## Appearance

Freya bore an extreme similarity to Alenia Swales and bore the same bodily markings on her skin denoting the Aquatic Elven heritage. She wore traditional robes for the Keepers of the Abyss. In a state of exhaustion, Freya appeared very gaunt and frail.

## Psychology

When young, Freya shared similar beliefs to Alenia against the state of monarchy they were born in to. They were rebellious and disobedient and often got into japes together. However, once Freya's position as a natural born sorcerer led to her becoming instated at a school of sorcery looked over by the state of Ullamel, Freya became more compliant to the duties she was told she had to perform. While she still loved Alenia, she had began to believe that the state of Ullamel and her duty was more important than herself.
