...youngest daughter of House D'Streea... Llieh, on one of many errands set for her that day, heads to the nearest library to retrieve a book her eldest sister bade her fetch. She heads to the farthest corner of the dark room, her red eyes narrowing slightly as she finally spies the book described to her. Whilst heading over to the bookcase she trips, failing to see the crouching librarian organising books on the bottom shelf, she lands ungracefully on her bottom slightly dazed and very much embarassed. She shakes off the daze, tossing her white pony-tail from side to side as her eyes settle on the librarian's offered hand. "My lady, please forgive me! I pray you are unhurt?" She looks up at the handsome young librarian, his voice the only sound she hears, this personification of the most beautifully sculptured art she's ever seen--there would be no more errands this day. Rare as it may be amongst the drow, this was a case of love at first sight. They took to seeing each other in secret, since romance with such a lowborne was forbidden by the House Matriarch. As fate would have it, they were discovered by a favored husband of the Matriarch in a .. compromising situation. Llieh acted quickly, slaying the man before he could raise an alarm. The two of them knew it was their death should they be caught, so they tried to escape the d'Streea enclave at once. Providence was not with them, and they were caught, tried and sentenced to death by a veangeful Matriarch. On the eve of their excecution, they were rescued in a daring raid by a small band of Az'atta followers. After much talk with their saviours, they agreed to be escorted to the surface to start new lives together. At first suspicious of the motives of their saviors, Barra and Llieh soon became contemptuous of the weakling "good drow". They exploited their generosity to the utmost during the long trek towards the surface, but the band of Az'atta followers never once complained, instead they would smile knowingly. Unable to find fault in the motives of the band, and feeling grateful for their rescue, Barra and Llieh grew to respect the ways of the band by the time they reached the surface world. As they make their journey into the light, these 2 dark elf outcasts, find themselves questioning much of their upbringing- and even the universal truths of drow society and life. They can never return, and face assassins of the Matriarch should they ever be discovered by her agents. They must find shelter, and try to survive in a world that distrusts or even hates them on sight. What will happen? Will they become unlikely heros in the battles against Bloodstone? Will they become disillusioned and bitter of the treatment they recieve from the surfacers... ultimately resuming their evil ways? Whatever else - it is sure to be... interesting.
