Evaline Summerfall

Evaline woke in a start, the sun hadn't come up yet as the moon was still bright. Another nightmare, "When will they stop?" She thought to herself. Evaline rubbed her eyes, tears again, her hands and skin felt clammy as they often did. She reached her fingers to the base of her neck and felt her scar with the tips of her fingers. A circle with a bears head and two arrows over the top. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply. "Two years and I'm still in this town." She moved her hands away and supported herself into an upright setted position on the edge of her bed. Her long, deep, red hair covered her scar but not her ears. She instinctively grabbed her scarf and wrapped it around her head, leaving her hair flowing the the back but covering her ears. "Two years and they still haven't figured out I'm not of the race of Men." She smiled to herself. She kissed her mothers blue crystal necklace then slid it under her dress.

Evaline looked up at the wooden door to her room. The room was small with a circler window on the right side of the bed, a chest at the end of it and a small night-stand with a candlestick and the book she was reading the night before. Childrens tales of the Galloway it read. She read as often as she could, her collection of books consisted of what had been left behind from guests staying at the tavern. The variety was vast but, Evaline enjoyed them all.

Evaline now stood, tying her bar-maidens apron around her waist. She exited her room and entered the wine cellar her room was adjacent to. She began her morning by cleaning the tavern and preparing the breakfast for the guests. Each tray was artfully put together, some toast in the corner with freshly made eggs and a glass of milk, the fruit of choice this morning were large red apples. She carried the trays to the occupied rooms, knocked on their doors and then left the trays outside of them.

"Elaine!" The owner of the tavern cried out. "You're meant to have the morning off, I need you this evening." "You're right," Evaline said quickly. "I was up early so I already took food to the tenants. I'll be back in a few hours, do you need anything from the market?" The owner waved his hands in dismissal and she was off. She smiled and waved at the townspeople on her way into town. She saw a gentleman, Leon, she thought his name was who came into the tavern often walking with another man she hadn't seen before. She continued on her way wondering the town and then eventually making her way into the woods. She sat near a pond at the base and watched the animals chase each other.

That afternoon she began working, cooking, delivering food, cleaning rooms and greeting guests. "Elaine!" cried Adriana, another bar-maiden. "I'm at my wits end here, can you take this stew to the traveler in the far corner and this ale to the other whome Leon just left?" Adriana nodded at the gentleman in the other corner. "Yes ma'am." Evaline said in hast. She delivered the soup to the gentleman in the far corner, giving him a polite smile and taking his coin for payment. She then placed the ale on the table next to the other gentleman and moved towards Mr. Jameson. He was an elderly fellow who had taken a liking to Elaine. "My dear Elaine, come to see how this old man is doing today?" Mr. Jameson greeted. Evaline kneeled down next to him and took his hand in hers. "Of course my friend. First is there anything I can get you?" The old man smiled and shook his head holding up the hand with the ale in it. "I'm all set dear." He began droning off about his late wife and daughter who passed on from sickness some years before and how Evaline was the jewel that kept him around.

Evaline rubbed his hand as he spoke using a little bit of her healing magic, not enough to be noticeable to anyone of the commoners in the tavern to help relax his aching body and mind, She did this often and none in the tavern were either familiar enough, sober enough or skilled enough to notice it. She kissed his hand gently as he seemed to drift into sleep and continued on with her work. "Will tonight be the night I learn something new?" She thought to herself.

Short History:
Evaline's mother was an elf, she was taken by an aristocratic family while pregnant with Evaline and enslaved. Evaline was born soon afterwards, also kept as a slave. The family in question owned a very large and successful vineyard and winery. Evalines mother studying healing magic before her capture and began teaching this to Evaline at a very young age, keeping it to herself so the masters would not find out. At the age of 3 Evaline was kept indoors to work on household chores and jobs while her mother worked the vineyard, each night they slept under a trapdoor. It was kept under a rug with a coffee table over it to hide it from unwanted eyes and attention. This little space held a small shelf along the wall on one side and hay rolls with a few thin blankets covering the ground. The space was approximately 6 feet by 3 feet by 4 feet. They were allowed one candle a week. Evalines mother taught her, her native language and began teaching her how to read and write.

Once Evaline turned four she was branded by the family as her mother had been. Burned at the base of her neck with the familys emblem. A circle with a bears head and arrows crossed over the top. With her mothers healing abilities she was able to sooth the pain and burn but not heal the scar. Evaline was terribly mistreated, her ears, once a symbol of greatness as her mother told it, now were a mark of disgust and hatred. Each day she was slung with insults, beaten and laughed at, each night, she studied with her mother.

One morning when Evaline was 10 she burned her arm in the fire where she was making the families breakfast. Her mother instinctively saw her and began to sooth the wound. The masters saw this and a greedy smile spread across their faces. That night her mother gave her the blue crystal necklace and kissed Evaline on the forehead. 'Tomorrow I will be going away," She said before slipping off into sleep. The next morning the trap door opened with a start and her mother was wisped up and dragged away. The door was then closed and locked, after several hours Evaline heard voices laughing and shouting above. "If only we knew earlier! We made a fortune on that one!" From that day Evaline continued to work hard promising herself that one day she would find her mother and free her.

At the age of 15 after Evaline was shut under the trap door she heard the many yells and sounds of a beast invasion. She kept very still as the sounds of screams filled the estate. The invaders stayed in the home for a week, never finding Evaline under the floor board. On their final day they set the home to flame and vanished. In a hurry Evaline emerged from the now barricaded door, she searched the house for a satchel and stuffed it with food, she then grabbed a scarf and ran from the estate, her mothers necklace around her neck too afraid to turn and look back at the home set aflame. The smell of burning bodies and cooking wine filled the air.

Evaline wondered the woods for some time, she wrapped the scarf around her head (as you would a bandanna) to cover her ears and the family emblem. When she ran out of food she found the dagger at the bottom of the satchel. With this she began attempting to hunt, all the while travelling through the wood hoping to find a village. After 6 months of travelling she ended up in Galloway. Now 16 she collapsed at the local tavern, named The Retired Sword, where she was given food. With no money to pay she began working to pay off her meal. The owner of the tavern not knowing of her race offered her a job and a room, at this point she began going by Elaine. She continued to practice her healing abilities and listened to travellers conversations for any sign of her mothers whereabouts. "One day I will leave and find her," She often told herself. She saved her money to supply herself with the basic accommodations for travel, a bedroll, travelling cooking pot, flint sticks and a small portable wooden chest filled with healing herbs she has gathered over years.
