Adeline

This is an oral recount by Adaline of her Life, with Teggers as her scribe.

Adaline was born in a deep realm, far below the worlds of Rathnir. She was the daughter of a Niedene family, lost to time. As the realm of Jagdas collapsed, many Niedene fled their homes. Adaline’s family was the few exceptions to the ones who did not leave. As you might know, the Niedene would found great nations, such as Escharia. Adaline’s family would die a gruesome fate, fighting monsters in a collapsed world, and eventually, baby Adaline was found next to a succubus, also erased from history. She was known by Adaline as “Smotritel,” and for a while, their lives were peaceful. Since she was raised by a succubus and suckled by a succubus, she became one.ANy evidence of a young Niedene girl was erased, replaced by the soft shapes of a succubus. This all happened in the environment of Jagdas, so she had no real idea of any happenings in Rathnir. One day, a brightly plumed animal flew in. It cawed at Adaline, and Adaline felt compelled to follow it, perhaps grasp its talons. The queer little creature stayed with Adaline and her Smotritel for about a fortnight, then left. How queer! Such a pure creature enter their home of Jagdas? Was the mythical realm many called Rathnir truly existed? Adaline decided to find out. After her smotritel passed, Adaline went off on her own. She began the journey out of Jagdas. With the Portal being closed off, It was near impossible for young Adaline to reopen it. Then, the queer feathered creature came. With a slash of its wing, the portal ignited with a flourish of music. When Adaline stepped forth, she was brought a scent of honeysuckle, of juniper, and of roses. She heard a brook bubble up, and felt the sun. Adaline had never felt so happy before. The little creature that had opened the portal led the way. When reaching what you would call “Dorrastorrock” the bird swooped away. She began exploring the city. Quickly, she found creatures like hers, as well as other types of sapien. UnicornBoi, a strange large-eyed creature wearing robes of majestic purple was seen strutting towards a large tower. After gathering supplies, Adaline began following a trail seemingly set out for her. Across Land, Sea, and Desert she crossed. Pirates, Bandits, and Marauders she fought. And like a learned woman, she arrived on the beaches of the island. Greeting her, King Pandaz smiled warmly. She was welcome to stay, but was homeless. Having nowhere to go, she sat around, eating anything she could get her hands on. Then Teggers came. An exile of the Caladarians, Teggers came feever from a long and horrid ship ride. Being the only survivor from a Tortugan Pirate attack, Teggers stumbled inland and began building. Adaline warmed up to Teggers immediately. Soon, they quickly fell in love, and married in their finished observatory.
