Backstory - Part I
I've finally paused my procrastinating and started on Eithne's backstory. Expect ALOT of words and very few (if not no) pictures. Her story is set with the darkest period of Christianity as backdrop, so do NOT read on if you think you would be offended. It's written in modern day (well, more or less) language to save myself of dying from the phrasing XD

An excerpt from a dairy found deep within the catacombs of a castle in Germany:
“Dec 5, 1484.
Today a papal bull was issued to root out witchcraft in Germany. From the day my little angel was born, I had feared that this day would come. There is only so much a father can do to protect his child. I have kept her from public view, guarded her secret jealously, and flaunted the powers of my position - all to keep her safe.
She is perfect in every way, except that she disdains our beliefs. I am, however, not surprised. Even if her powers were bestowed by our Lord, the Church would still trial and convict her of sorcery.
I fear what the zealots may do - they who feel no qualms over laying waste villages and cities in their delirium. Already I can see the senseless carnage and endless nightmare.”
