Advisor Baylin was known as the best swordsman amongst the kingdom. Even though he was an elf the people gave him his respect. After surviving a purge of his Elvin clan he never was one too well up with hatred. In fact, he was quite kind and always apologized or took the blame for any of his surviving clan members' shortcomings.
Advisor Baylin attended a dinner at the general of the king's guard estate as he did once every so often. During this visit, however, the general's daughter had returned home from her travel to the nearby Orc village. She had been staying there overseeing the treatment of the chief's wife during the last few months prior and up until the birth of their newest child.
"Ahhh...My beloved Advisor Baylin. I don't recall that you have had the pleasure of meeting my daughter have you?" Said the General with a skeptical grin.
"No, General Kevkan I have not. I believe you said she was using her medical knowledge to help a nearby Orc village." Baylin said.
"As I have stated before please just call me Kenneth in my home. All this General Kevkan and my lord nonsense are not needed here. Either way, may I introduce my daughter Silvia." Kenneth smiled as Silvia entered the room. For a moment Baylin's eyes had glossed over as a stunning young woman with beautiful long brown hair had entered the room.
"It is very much a pleasure to meet you lady Kevkan. May I say that you are very beautiful." Baylin humbly stated as he bowed to Silvia.
"Haha...Haha..." Silvia laughed and punched him in the arm. "Father, your right he is super formal. Clearly, very kind and handsome. Call me Silvia please lady doesn't quite a suite my forte. May I have your first name or do I Have to call you Advisor Baylin." Laughing again as she propped up to stiffly say his title in a mocking manner.
"Clearly, your daughter is just like you Kenneth. Yes, I shall give you my first name. It is Zackar given to me by the warriors of my clan." Zackar responded happily. The evening continued as normal ending with a training meeting for this week's regiment assignments. From now on though Zackar started getting dinner invites all the time to the estate. This of course ultimately lead to the relationship and marriage of Zackar and Silvia. About four years into their marriage Silvia gave birth to a daughter that they named Yuna.
Yuna of course learned about medicine from her mother but also growing up Yuna learned the sword. Due to a soon to be retired King's guard General as a grandfather and a swordmaster/military advisor for a father. When Yuna turned 15 she had entered the officer guard academy despite her talent for crafting medicine. Wonderfully she graduated with honors due to her excellent grades and sword skills. Upon turning 20 she was given her own elite scouting unit by the king himself. This of course was a great honor for her and her family.
During a scouting assignment a few years later Yuna had a weird shiver crawl down her spine. This was probably due to back at home a handful of the purge survivors betrayed their friends and human protectors. They helped sneak in a team of Elvin assassin's and gave them a map to the traitors in exchange to be able to return to elven lands. Of course, once they finished assisting they were killed as well. Hafer the leader of these assassin's had no intention of letting any of them live.
Hafer and his group eradicated the remaining defectors. Finishing this raid with the estate of none other than the Baylin family. Zackar was away on a trip to meet with a neighboring town helping train the new guards and looking for potential persons to recruit for the king's guard. Hafer and his men slaughtered everyone in the estate to include the general and his family being know associates of Baylin. They were tortured violently trying to reveal the location of Zackar. When nobody talked they were killed and their heads were placed on spikes in the front courtyard.
As they left the house itself was set ablaze to further their statement. The next day Yuna and Zackar made it home to find their life in ruins. Devastated by the sight before them and without words, they embraced and just cried for hours. Zackar and Yuna were invited to live in the Castle by the king in order to keep them protected. Zackar knowing his duty took up the offer. Yuna however, upset with her father's lack of want for revenge left the city.
Resigned as a guard and became a mercenary. Hoping to one day take revenge on the ones who had slaughtered her family. Quest after quest she never found her way to revenge. Until one day in a small town, she heard word of Hasfer staying at the local inn. She came to know the name of the assassin by the elves she pressured for information. She sent a letter to his room saying she had information on some Elvin traitors and asked him to meet at the cliffs outside of town. The cliffs that night were gorgeous lit only by the moonlight.
As Hasfer stealthily approached there seemed to be only one figure alone. Standing with their back turned to him and illuminated by the moonlight. "So what is it you have to tell me? Not very often do I get some sort of information via letter. Or is are you about to confess your love under the moonlight?" Said Hasfer once he was within a few feet of the cloaked stranger.
"How about instead of love I express my hatred!" Yuna yelled. Throwing off the cloak and swing he sword down toward Hasfer. Hasfer dodged the sword swing barely. As the sword hit the ground Yuna used it to twirl her body in the air deliver a soaring kick to his abdomen. Clearly not expecting a flying kick using the sword for leverage. As Hasfer rose from his prove position after the kick he clearly could tell she cracked a rib.
"You stupid whore! Do you know whom you're attacking? Before I place your head on a spike, why is it you bare this hatred? Your no elf clearly by your round tips, and I'm sure we have never met." Hasfer said pissed as he drew his twin daggers. Leaping in toward Yuna exchanging rapids swings and blows the sound of metal ringing echos off the cliffside.
With one swing both managed to cut one another as the back away a few feet. Hasfer a gash on his cheek and Yuna a cut along her right shoulder. She definitely knew he was fast but she thinks she has an opening.
"As per your question bastard. I am the daughter of Zackar and you slaughtered my family and my people. I know who you are and your punishment has arrived!" Welled with emotion she stated. Then leaped forward to swing forcefully. Hasfer grunted and yet grinned a bit knowing he can finally finish the mission. He also charged forward meeting her blade with his.
The fury of the continued seemingly getting more rapid. Hasfer final saw an opening and stabbed Yuna through the leg and then aimed with the other blade toward her heart. She had stopped his second swing and even though pain shot through her, with her free hand she cleaved his head from his body. Blood painted the air as she collapsed in pain and watched his head roll like a lost ball off the cliff.
Finally, it was over after all this time she managed to avenge her family. She began to sob the tear ran a trail of blood down her face. Once composed she tied a piece of the cloak around her leg. She then pushed the rest of Hasfer's body off the cliff. As best she could she used her sword as a crutch to hobble back to town. Yuna collapsed on the steps of the in and passed out. Though not before seeing a large red figure run towards her. She smiled slightly as her eyes then closed to rest.
