You walk into the room.. eyes adjusting to the darkness slowly.. soon noticing a young woman near the fireplace.. she rises.. the gentle silk of her gown caressing her form.. the firelight flickering over her face... she smiles, a smile to melt the hardest heart.. her eyes open and honest.. allowing you to view her soul.. she makes a sweeping gesture.. inviting you to stay and find comfort, relief, solace in her company..

"Please, have a seat.. join me here by the fire.. *soft chuckles* i wont bite.. least not unless you ask nicely.." She curls up in the chair again.. legs tucked up underneath her.. pale skin almost shining under the flickering firelight.. you notice that beneath the silk you can see soft outlines of tattoos adorning her chest and belly.. blushing you realize you have been staring and are rewarded by her soft laugh.. "tis all right.. i don't mind the staring.. the tatts draw a lot of attention.. *points to the portrait above the fire that you had not noticed before* there ya go.. what you seek to see is right before your eyes.. as most things tend to be.."


 
 
*she laughs at your soft sigh of appriciation* aye.. tis a grand painting..does me justice i think.. *grins impishly* actually the artist paints a grand portrait of one not so very grand.. *she looks at it with a critical eye.. *

i suppose you want to know my story.. there is not much to tell.. this is my first life.. so unlike many others who travel the same roads i do, i am very young at a mere 30 years of age.. *laffs softly* i will remain at this stage in my life however for recently i was given the gift of immortality.. bye a dear.. friend.. of mine.. *smiles softly* i have yet to decide what i will do with the rest of my lives.. at present time i am the assistant bartender in the Hall of Torment.. thats located in the Realm of Shadows if you have yet to visit there.. tis my home away from home.. *smiles* i shall remain there as long as im needed.. then *shrugs* who knows.. we shall see.. i can do anything i choose.. with only a lifetime to complete it..
