Illiad Skadi

## History

There is a special genetic trait that only an incredible few are born with in the realm and that even fewer are able to make use of. The Manaborne Children are those that are born with a magical essence being produced within every cell of their body, because of this they produce an incredible amount of magic and usual have a natural affinity to using all schools of magic. The innate problem with the Manaborne is the amount of stress the infant body is put under due to rapid magic creation. Most Manaborne children develop the disease, Death of Magic, and slowly either succumb to their fate or expel enough magical energy by the time they have grown up and lose the beneficial properties being Manaborne, but in the rare case a child has strong enough genetics to handle it, their cells will bond completely with the magic essence, changing parts of their appearance including making their eye and hair colour change as mana runs through and their blood turns to a golden colour, and giving the child vast magical potential.

Inside a Lovsung clinic, a man by the name of Fennal Crybell awaits the birth of his first child. He watched as chambermaids and midwives came rushing in and out of his wife's room. The memory of his wife telling him that this will likely be a hard birth came to his mind as worry set in. The head doctor comes out looking downtrodden and Fennal approaches the doctor and ask what happened to his child. The doctor looks up at him and says that his daughter was born and seems to be health right now but that wasn't the issue at hand. His wife had passed after giving birth to her child due to the child being Manaborne. Fennal broke down after hearing about the lose of his wife and after being told that his newborn daughter was likely going to be inflicted with the Death of Magic disease. For multiple days while midwives cared for his daughter, Fennal was distraught and could hardly care for himself, and after 3 full weeks of being cared for in the Lovsung clinic he made a request of the head doctor and then would leave.

The fragile girl was given the name Illiad by her father and then was entrusted to the Lovsung family as her father didn't believe he could give her the care she needed and losing her would be the end of him. She was given to one of the families orphanages and was watched over closely as they waited for her to contract the disease, but after a near year-long wait, something new was observed about her, as a caretaker noticed that her eyes started glimmering between a spectrum of different colours. They sent word to the Venai family to see if any one could find what this might mean, a number of days passed while many researched the meaning behind the magic eyes before a professor stumbled across a research paper about a Manaborne child that never contracted the disease. So Illiad managed to grow up happy and healthy at the orphanage.

Fennal after the incident with his wife and daughter got a job transfer and moved to a new city. Fennal started his job back up in the main headquarters of the Ancient Magnus Council. He now had responsibility over coordinating between researchers and the pillars over the ladders upcoming projects. He worked hard for years to get into that position and had built up a lot of trust and a good reputation with the powerful mages, and because of this he was given a much harder task which was to help set up an experiment with the Pillar of the Legendary Beasts & The Golden Warlock of the Endlands, Vinlarja Skadi, a renown mage with a bad reputation for his short temper. When he first met Master Skadi he made sure to walk on eggshells as to not incur his wrath but to his surprise Master Skadi was incredible kind, and only warned Fennal that he was incredible sensitive to loud noises due to his prior experimenting with his shapeshifting magic. The two worked together well and had time to get to know about one another, Fennal talked about his very special daughter who he had not seen since he left but was informed by the Lovsung's that she had not developed the disease. Vinlarja couldn't believe his ears as heard the tale, as such a rare and talented entity had just manifested itself in front of him. Soon after the project had ended, Vinlarja found himself taking a trip to see the young magical prodigy.

When Vinlarja arrived at the orphanage he was met with the branches headmaster, Garn Lovsung, They had written to one another during the project about Illiad and what kind of progress she was making. The two entered the estate and had a discussion before Vinlarja could meet her. At the time she was 17, she had a slender build and was short for her age, her eyes were like diamonds constantly shining in the light, her hair was deep shade of purple with ends that phased between a spectrum of colours. She was looking at becoming a caretaker at the orphanage, as she loved taking care of the people and children that lived there. That day she was called into the Headmaster's office, Garn introduced his guest to her and told her that he was a great mage that was interested in taking her on as his apprentice at some point. They all sat and talked for a bit, during which Illiad revealed that she wasn't against becoming Vinlarja's apprentice as many in the orphanage had always told her how skilled she was at magic but she also wasn't sure about leaving the orphanage especially because she considered every one there as her family. Vinlarja said that it didn't have to be now and that he would leave for the day and come back whenever she was ready. He would depart back to his home in the Endlands that evening leaving her behind a gift, an Umbrella and his raven address.

5 years had passed with the two having written hundreds of letters back and forth to one another, they had gotten to know such much about one another but still Illiad was reluctant to leave her family. She worked every day as a caretaker in her orphanage, she was called to the Headmaster's office one day, it was there that she had reunited with Vinlarja Skadi. Surprised she asked why he had come, to which he responded "For 5 years I've waited for you to ask for me to make you my apprentice, we have spent so much time with one another through our letters, a simple act that I've come to realize that I find so much joy in, I feel so connected to you but still you have doubts because you have your family here. So I've come to gamble that you feel the same as me." He pauses for a second before reaching into his pocket and grabbing a small box before he continued " Illiad Lovsung, I have fallen so madly in love with you that I need you in my life, and if it's family that you need then I will gladly become that, so will you marry me?" Illiad started to cry as Vinlarja revealed a crystal ring that shimmered the same way as her eyes and she accepted him.

For a few days she packed her few things and got the orphanage ready for her departure, and when the day finally came she bid farewell to her family and friends and thanked Garn for taking her in and making her his family. The carriage ride to the Endlands was long but for weeks Illiad got to see sights new to her and travel and sightsee in many different towns. After six weeks of travel the duo finally arrived home at the Drowsy Falls Manor it was about a 40 minute walk from the nearest town but the privacy had allowed Vinlarja to perform experiments and research in peace. The first people Illiad meet when she arrived was the three manor maids Chun, Rox, and Felicity who welcomed her with open arms as the master's bride. The maids taught her the ways of life in the manor, how loud sounds will anger the master so to try and keep noises down. She soon would start her lessons and only a little bit after that would be married to Vinlarja. She was making steady progress and was starting to show her potential, and after a few years was properly signed with the AMC as an apprentice as well, which was help to Vinlarja for he could go back to his major experiments without fear of his wife losing studying time. So currently Illiad is working with the AMC as a proxy for the Pillar of the Legendary Beast and is observing other pillars to expand her magical knowledge.
