Morrigan Aensland
Tell Me What Happened...
I suppose it's been forever since I woke up in this place, but, then again, it was forever before I stepped here, as well. My name? I suppose you want to know the whole story, do you? Alright, I'll tell you some of it. I don't like nosy neighbors and this whole 'council members record their past' thing is bullshit, if you ask me. Did Crystal come up with this? It seems to me like one of her stupid ideas to get to know the people around her... Hm? Oh, yeah, sure. Morrigan Aensland, the youngest of the council members, and yet one of the twelve oldest people to ever be here.. guess that makes me pretty old, doesn't it? I've forgotten time since this started, not that I ever really paid attention to it anyway...
And... why is that, Miss Aensland?
Because I was destined never to die...
You surely couldn't have thought yourself immortal...
I was the queen of an indomitable clan of demons that fed on the souls of humans like you; why should I not have thought myself invincible? I know that look, you're a bit frightened? Did you think these tattered old wings I keep on my person are a fashion statement, or were you misguided into thinking I was some fool human's genetic accident? I'm from a world completely different from your own. Yeah, I know what you're thinking--why aren't I in one of those other cities. Why am I not with the people I resemble and the ones you hate. Fair question. Why not? Perhaps because of Crystal and Nuki... When I first woke up here, I was horrified. It wasn't my home at all.. the trees stood tall and as I made my way across the soft river by help of my wings, I spotted other life... it was a group, and a small one, but being the loner that I was, I didn't want to go near them. I just wanted to know who had taken me, and why I was here... You see, in accordance with the last thing I'd seen, I should have been dead, and if I was not, then I must have been captured and taken to some vampiric waste-away where I would slowly be tortured and killed... but I did not see anything familiar... the flowers weren't the same shades and the people that moved around were of no special bearing, merely simple beings that possessed no great power... and I thought to myself, 'Morrigan, you fox, you've hit the banquet. All you have to do is wring them for information, then you can go home.. but you have to get one alone first.'
Did you... manage to do what you wanted...?
Did you ever meet any council members? Of course I didn't manage to do what I wanted. Before I ever got any one of them alone, because I was waiting for a male specifically, I overheard some rather disturbing news : all of these people were already dead. Now, you can understand how confused and dismayed I was. I wasn't getting home--there was no ship that would set sail for my country next week. I met Nuki then--she stumbled upon me and I tried to scare her away. I said nasty things and threatened to do some rather hideous dissecting jobs on her liver, but she was sure I was all talk. At the time I was saying it, I didn't think I was... but when she reached out her hand to me and I grabbed it so rough she started to cry, I realized that she reminded me a bit of Lazereth, my youngest sister. I couldn't possibly hurt her then. I decided that hurting people wasn't at all what I wanted to do, after all. For once, I didn't want to war with the entire world to make my life meaningful. I was introduced to a clan of randomized people that gathered around me and asked questions that I wouldn't answer.. and there was one, obnoxious redhead without powers that seemed to hold everyone's attention. I got really jealous of Crystal. I was used to being top, and since she had come first, everyone was looking to her... in my opinion, I was more beautiful, far more qualified with my power, and on top of it, I was older, no matter what anyone said. We argued a lot, to say the least... and it was mostly my instigating them. After a while, it became so commonplace that the rest of the elders just shrugged their shoulders and said 'they're at it again'.. and Crystal was always waiting for me to shoot down her idea or call her stupid... I rarely failed to take the opportunity.
That's it... for now, Morrigan... we'll continue with the actual stories later...
Goodnight then, Miss Walker. Don't let the door hit you on your way out... oh, and tell Crystal this was a bad idea.. much like all her other ones.
