Aht | Part 2 of 4 lucky_breath August 12 2011, 04:05:12 UTC
5. Background: Aht was born 9 years ago during a war between the countries, Alistel and Granorg. While the world around them was being swallowed by sand, Granorg and Alistel fought each other for control of the remaining fertile land. But Aht's people, the beastkind, had cut themselves off from the human world and lived neutrally in their homeland, Celestia. So Aht was raised oblivious to the war going on outside the barrier around her village.

That is until she joined her Uncle, Vanoss's performing troupe. She began traveling the world with them, seeing and learning many things. She learned that perhaps her people weren't as oblivious as she had believed. The point of the troupe was to bring news from the outside world back to Celestia. The troupe was making their way through the Gran Plain on their way to Granorg when they were attacked by monsters! Oh noes! Aht's screams attracted a a trio of heroes, one dressed in red. That's when Aht met Stocke.

And when Aht met Stocke, Everything Changed.

Aht became immediately attached to Stocke, following him around and pretty much declaring she never wanted to leave him ever. During her time with Stocke, Aht demonstrated that she was an exceptional little girl. She explained, after having sent a dead person to heaven, that it was her job to do so, as a Shaman of Celestia, even though she is not fully aware that's who she is. Aht also demonstrated an exceptional skill with daggers and knives. Anyway, Aht traveled with Stocke and his party until they reached Granorg. And they went their separate ways. At least in this timeline.

Once Stocke began meddling in the alternate timeline, he once again meets Aht, though under very different circumstances. He met her in her village in Celestia. She joined with him to keep him safe as they fended off the advancing Alistelian army.

From then on, Aht's life was bound to Stocke's. She followed him through both timelines, helping him when he was captured, him helping her when SHE was captured, dying for him so he could win a tournament for their freedom, and eventually discovering his secret when they met the princess of Granorg, Eruca. She tried her best to protect Stocke, even going so far as to stray from her path as a Shaman. She kidnapped him and left him in a world of her own creation to save him. All of these events, however, were eventually corrected by Stocke when he used the White Chronicle, a book that allowed the wielder to travel back in time, to fix his mistakes.

Their fight eventually leads them to an underground lab in Alistel. A power hungry politician named Hugo had become mad with Power and offered this power to Stocke. Stocke accepted and became so overwhelmed by it, it began draining his life force. Aht rushed off to save him, but was unable to save him. Instead she ended up in the Keep.
