FIC: Through the Dark Portal

Karre Melithis

She stands tall and proud, her hazel eyes darting suspiciously from face to face of those in front of her. At age twenty-five, she is an uneasy figure and if pressed hard enough, one might end up with her daggers in their gut. Scars from harsh encounters hide mostly underneath her clothes but there is one jagged slash that marrs her left cheek in a vertical scar that looks like its maker almost blinded her.

Born in Outlands from two members of the Alliance Expedition that was sent through before the Dark Portal closed. She grew up in Honor Hold until her parents - a paladin and priestess respectively - were slain by demons when she was eight years old. After this event, she was sent to the orphanage in Shattrath City until she turned eighteen and left.

During her time in the city, she came to respect an aged Draenei warrior that visited the children of the orphanage every day and told them stories. She took to his stories more fiercely than any other and four years later he could not resist her plea for training when she realized what truly had happened to her parents and began to burn with the need for revenge. He taught her to fight and use weapons only; it was she that taught herself the ways of the rogue.

When the Dark Portal reopened, she found herself drawn to the world her parents had been forced to leave. She began a new life there, hoping that perhaps this place was free from the demons that she had grown up despising with her entire being. When she discovered that it was not free of them, she set out on the task to begin slaying any demon she could come across on her parents world.

All she has ever had in life were her parents and the Draenei warrior who told her stories. All of them are lost to her now as well with her parents deaths long ago and the warrior's death just after she crossed through the Dark Portal. As such...even the most dire of paths are ones she is willing to walk down.
