Lemina Ausa ~ 3 of 7megamagicpowerOctober 25 2010, 07:17:24 UTC
CHARACTER BACKGROUND (continued!). She had no idea what she was actually getting into. Lucia was on the run from Althena's Guard, purported to be a Destroyer from another world. But Lucia claimed the world was in grave danger, and that she needed to meet with Althena to save it. Either way, something big was up, and the fate of Lunar hung in the balance.
But Lemina was not about to be distracted from her goals. On the way to Pentagulia, she pushed them into visiting Vane, only to find that the city had been occupied by the Black Wizard Borgan, one of four who had reclaimed the title of the Four Heroes and served directly under Althena. Lemina herself was barred entry. So, she snuck them in through the Spring of Transmission, a magical teleportation station that had been used to enter Vane when it still flew. However, she was too late: Borgan, who was enamored with Lemina's mother, kidnapped her and left to rule his new city Neo-Vane. Alone and helpless, Lemina ran to the roof of the Guild, crying inconsolably.
Not for a lack of trying from her new friends, though. Despite how terribly she had treated them, they all did their best to cheer her up and volunteer their help. "Because that's what friends do for each other!" With this, Lemina realized she had made far better friends than she had ever deserved. Together, they would work together to save Lunar.
They continued to Pentagulia, where Lucia was granted audience with Althena. And the truth finally came forward: this "Althena" was a fake, an imposter granted power by the dark god Zophar. After discovering this, the group was nearly captured but fought their way to freedom. Their next quest was to release the seals on the four Dragons, who would be able to grant them entry to the fifth tower of Pentagulia, where Althena was supposedly sealed. And as it happened, the Black Wizard Borgan was holding the Aura of the Black Dragon. Fate was leading them to the doorstep of Neo-Vane.
The city of Neo-Vane, much like the Vane of old, was a majestic city that floated in the sky. However, this one was not an island but an artificial structure crafted of black crystals. When they arrived, the group underwent a screening process, and two members of their party who were not very magically-inclined were cast into a pit. This pit led to the mines of Zaback, where "commoners" worked as slaves mining magic crystals to power the city of Neo-Vane. Lemina was horrified at this, particularly that any city that enslaved fellow humans would have the gall to use the name of Vane. It was a disgusting mockery of everything Vane had once stood for.
After rescuing her two friends, they found a secret entrance to the Guildhouse of Neo-Vane and confronted Borgan. The Black Wizard was convinced he had made a magical utopia, and would prove it to Lemina with the power he had cultivated. He attacked Lemina and her friends, and ultimately was defeated by the group of heroes. They took the Black Dragon's Aura from Borgan, and at once, the man lost all his power. They then left to find and rescue Lemina's mother, finding that she was not only unharmed but had been treated like royalty.
However, a new problem quickly arose: Without the Black Dragon's magic supporting it, Neo-Vane could no longer fly, and had already begun to fall. Borgan demanded that Lemina turn the Black Dragon Aura and her mother back over to him at once, or else forever live with the blood of everyone in Neo-Vane on her hands. But there was a much simpler solution than that provided by Lemina's own friends. Lucia was able to command the power of the Black Dragon as well and used the Aura to slow Neo-Vane's descent to a gentle stop.
