Felicity's Story
"Shiro... he... he was supposed to protect us. I remember the day vaguely, yet... it still haunts my dreams."

The emperor walked slowly up to the temple. He informed the guards that his bodyguards would be coming along with him into the temple. Felicity walked at the emperor's side watching for any possible threats as they climbed the spiraling stair case of the temple. She did not notice that Shiro was going mad behind her. When they came to the top of the temple, Shiro went insane. He killed the guards that were protecting the emperor. Felicity ran to the bell and pulled on the rope as hard as she could. Then... she felt the blade slice through her stomach... and fell from the top of the temple. "Dwayna Protect Me", she thought to herself as she fell to the ground. She felt cold, and it was as if time slowed as she fell to the ground. And then.... it all went black.

Felicity felt the wind on her face... and she slowly opened her eyes. She could not figure out why, but she felt different... powerful. She stood to her feet, and she focused for a moment. Then she saw her... a woman with long black hair, she looked strong. "That was quite the fall you took there now wasn't it", said the mysterious woman. Felicity was not amused, "Who are you... and... where am I?", she said nervously. "No need to learn my name... well not now anyway. As for where you are, this is the harvest temple.  Looks different doesn't it?  A lot has changed since your death.", said the woman. "Death?", Felicity said in an aggravated tone; "Indeed. 200 years ago Shiro struck you down. What, did you think that was just a dream?". "That.... that is impossible, you are lying!", said Felicity. "Oh you think so... look at your stomach...". Felicity glanced down to see a gaping hole in her abdomen where Shiro's sword struck her. She was horrified, she back away slowly from the black haired woman. The woman let out an evil laugh; she touched Felicity's wound and it suddenly disappeared. "I brought you back, I need your help. Shiro has returned from the dead and I am charging you, along with two others to take him down.  You are now one of the three protectors of Tyria, you have been given great power to do this." "I... I don't understand.", said Felicity. "All in good time, all in good time.". The Mysterious woman disappeared in a veil of shadows and suddenly Felicity was somewhere else... somewhere strange. She saw two there women standing beside her... "What in the hell is going on", she thought to herself....

Lelia's Story
"The Kurzicks tortured me, but I never gave them what they wanted..."

Lelia was part of a Luxon patrol near Kurzick teritory, she was a devoted Luxon that was guaranteed to be a leader of the serpent clan in the near future. Her team consisted of three warriors, two elementalists and a seductress (which was Lelia). They spotted a Kurzick patrol headed towards Luxon territory. Lelia was the first to mobilize toward the group, since it consisted of only males. However, the Kurzicks knew what she was doing and was able to get past her charms. They were prepared for the Luxon group and killed the other members of Lelia's patrol.

Lelia awoke in a Kurzick prison. The walls were stone and it was cold and dark. Her arms and feet had been bound to posts in the room; she could see a dying man in the cell across from her, he had been beaten and tortured, she knew her fate would be the same. She tried to get free from the ropes, she was constantly saying to herself "I am going to die". Suddenly she heard a door open, she couldn't see anyone but she heard foot steps coming toward her cell. Two Kurzick warriors came into the cell, one held a box. Neither of the men said word at first, they opened the box and there were tools...used to get information out of people, a tear rolled down Lelia's face.

They tortured her for hours, they wanted to know the location of Cavalon and the Hatchery. Lelia did not speak a word as the tortured her. She laid silent, she never screamed or spoke... Finally the two men realized that she would not speak, so they decided that they couldn't use her and ended her life (Leila will not tell anyone exactly how they did it).

Lelia looked up at the sky, she saw stone trees and plants all around her. "What... what happened?", she asked herself as she came to her feet. A woman with black hair said to her "You died...", calmly as if it wasn't a big deal. Lelia looked strangely at the woman,"....You... you mean that wasn't some awful nightmare." "No it was real, and it happened only two years ago... I brought you back", said the woman in a arrogant tone. Lelia was very confused, she demanded a explanation. "All in good time my dear, everything will be clear soon enough.", then suddenly the woman disappeared in a shroud of shadows and Lelia was in a very unfamiliar place, she looked around and saw two other women that she did not recognize....

Angless' Story
"The corsairs ended it all... but that was just my beginning."

Angless had always wanted to be a Sunspear, she finally got that chance when she turned 16. She joined as a recruit in the Sunspears. By the time she was 20 she was a General, Kormir told her that in a few years she would certainly be a Spearmarshal.

Angless was charged with a solo mission t investigate a possible corsair camp in Istan near the Sunspear Great Hall, there was reason to believe that these Corsairs were planning on raiding the hall. Angless followed her orders and headed toward the camp.

She did indeed find a corsair camp near the the river close to the hall. She eavesdropped on their conversation. "Now listen up mateys, ye have been instructed to raid that there hall and bring back the heads of the Sunspears there. Now our employer is paying good coin to have us do this and we must not fail.... Did you hear that?  GET HER!". The corsairs had spotted her, she tried running but they caught up with her. She was surrounded... she doesn't recall much after that, she figures that they must of knocked her out...

Angless opened her eyes... it was night and she seemed to be in the same place where the camp was located... but she saw no corsairs. She stood to her feet when suddenly she saw a woman with long back hair... She held her spear up and aimed it at the woman, "Where are you friends corsair?" "Corsair?", the woman giggled, "I'm no Corsair, I'm the one that brought you back". The woman held out her hand and Angless' spear came to the woman. "Give that back you fool", Angless angrly said. "You won't be needing it any longer dear. Your destiny is going a different path.  I brought you back from the dead, those Corsairs that you found killed you and left you to rot." At that moment it all came rushing back to her, all of the event of the day she died. Angless fell to her knees in despair, "Are you here to take me to the Underworld?". "Did you not hear me child? I brought you back, you are here to stay.  But you have duties now.", said the woman, "What duties?", asked Angless. "You will learn of them soon enough." The woman disappeared in a shroud of Shadows and suddenly Angless was in a strange place, where she saw two other women that she did not know...

The Tyrian DuelSouls
The three women looked around cluelessly, each of them seemed confused and frightened. A bright light appeared in front of the women... and a ghostly figure walked toward them. "Do not be alarmed, I am not here to harm you. I know each of you have questions, but I cannot answer most of them.  This realm is known as Syella, it was once as thriving and as real as your realm... but through the greed and corruption of the people that lived here... the realm died and became what you see before you.  My name is Denya, Demi of the DuelSouls.  I am here to teach you and explain what has happened.". "I--", said Felicity but she was cut off by the spirit. "Do not speak, only listen... Each of you have been given a great gift that you are obligated to use to protect your realm.  Each of you have been given power beyond our imagination.  You are DuelSouls, protectors of your realm.  Lelia, you have dominion over reality in your realm, you can pull at reality taking control of the elements that your realm consists of and you can rip the fabric of reality to make portals to different dimensions in your realm.  Angless you can tap into the energies of the Astral plane and bring it into reality and you can sense the presence of demons in the realm.  Felicity, you have been given the ability to tap into the Spirit plane and take control of the powers it holds, as well as foresight and the ability to sense spiritual threats in your realm.  Use the powers wisely or they could be taken away.  Remember that you are always more powerful together rather than separate... work as a team.". Suddenly, the women were back on Tyria... even though the woman was vague it was as if they knew what they had to do.
