Lilith Darkbane: grimaces, shielding eyes Damn it, Master! This light's like daggers to my soul!
What is this crap? Who are you?
Ugh, what's with these bloody bright lights? Can't you see I'm trying to drown in my own misery here?
Lilith Darkbane, is it? Why the hell do you have ‘Property of the Dark Lord’ stamped on your forehead?
Well, you see, I was just wandering through the marketplace one day and happened upon a shady fellow. He bought me for a song, and next thing I knew, I was being carted off to his lair. That's how I ended up with this lovely stamp! Isn't it a wonderful conversation starter?
How does someone like you end up with that kind of mark?
Oh, you know, the usual. A midnight sale, a shady merchant, and a desperate mother trying to make ends meet. The kind of thing they write stories about!
pauses, looking down She's... not here anymore. She did what she thought was best for me, but I'll never forgive her for it.
And where are you from? What are your hobbies?
You want to know where I'm from? Well, lucky for you, I'm a native of the shadowy realms of the north.
So your from the North. Interesting. What are your hobbies?
Hobbies? Well, I have quite a few. I enjoy reading dark poetry, playing the violin, and practicing the art of shadow weaving.
Shadow weaving? What the hell is that?
Shadow weaving is an ancient art form that involves using shadows to create intricate designs and tell haunting stories.
Is that why you’re so eager to stay in the dark?
You mean when I'm not being forced into pointless combat training by my sadistic master? Yes, I do enjoy staying in the dark. It's where I feel most comfortable.
What made you choose the path of a warrior?
Well, you see, I had a bit of a rough upbringing. Growing up in the shadowy realms, I was constantly bullied and picked on.
When I was young, my parents were killed right in front of me… it made me want to protect others from suffering the same fate.
Yeah well, I guess we both have our reasons for wanting to fight. Me, I just wanted to be able to defend myself and maybe kick some ass along the way. You, you wanted to protect others. Good for you, I guess.
Is that why you don’t like fighting?
No, it's not that I don't like fighting. It's just that I hate having to prove myself to my master.
