Rise of the Phoenix - Chapter I - May 9, T.A. 3012 to T.A. 3018



I was born on May 9, T.A. 3012 (later becomes May 9, T.A. 3002) to the Human Man Crystopher and the Elf-maiden Windpixie. The events of my birth were quite dramatic but of course I would not learn of them until I was old enough to know such things but this is the details of my birth in my father's own words.

"I met Windpixie in Bree just before my twenty-second birthday in September of T.A. 3009. She and I fell in love and had many great times until I finally proposed and on April 21, T.A. 3012 we got married in Duillond. We were twenty-five and she was also pregnant by this time. We moved out west to Celondim where we wished to have our child born and started thinking about names. We decided to each choose a name and if it was a boy, I get to choose his first name and she would pick the middle name. If it was a girl then she would choose the first and I the middle. I liked the name Jinoa and either way, whether boy or girl, my child was having that name.

On the day of her labor things did not go as planned. Complications had arisen and our child was in danger of not being born and the local healer was dumbfounded as to what could be going wrong but knew it was not going to be a happy ending. As I watched them work with her she told me she was scared and knew something was wrong and she became very tired very fast until she finally faded and died right in front of me with our unborn child still inside of her and unable to breathe. I stood there in shock and suddenly jumped forward and screamed at them to cut my wife open to save my daughter and the female elf nodded with tears in her eyes as she started to cut open my dead wife's belly.

As she pulled out my daughter her eyes were wide open and she didn't make a sound and as our eyes met a force swept between us like a power never before felt by my body and a foggy drunkenness my mind has since never felt again. It was Instant love and it was stronger than any I have ever felt nor could I ever give justice through words.

And that is when her mom woke up.

And that is how Phoenix Jinoa came into this world."

My father had met my mother in Bree when he was 22, her name was WindPixie and she was 23. They fell in love and were married April 21, Fo.A. 3012 in Duillond when they were 25 and I was still inside her belly. Together we moved out west to Celondim where I was born soon after. Life was perfect until the day "The New Shadow" came and a man named Erik Amundrud came and poisoned my mother's mind. I was only three years old but I still remember my father being attacked as my mother dragged me away to be with Erik and I never saw my father again, or so I had thought.

I witnessed many evil doings and by the time I was five I knew that the tales about my father were all lies. I remembered what had really happened and no matter what I told my mother and her new lover they still tried to make me hate my father. All it would end up doing was make me miss him and want to see him more. Erik moved us from place to place and it wasn't until later that I had realized it was because they were afraid of my father finding them and killing them.

I was about to give up all hope of ever seeing my father again until my sixth birthday had arrived and my whole world changed and turned upside down, or in this case, was turned right side up.

The upcoming days would change my life forever and in a way I would have never thought possible.
