She was always going. But she'd return. Several times they gave her up for dead. But she came back. Her family wanted to educate her: "breathe," they'd tell her.

Aire had always been a special child: strong, fearless, and ready to rise up to any challenge so it was very much a surprise when she refused to abide by her teacher’s instructions. Simply, she did not like to breathe. While her race had the ability to breathe on land, it was not innate and had to be practiced. Due to her fortitude of character and spirit, Aire had been given a special role within her people, one that would require her to breathe. So everyone was very concerned when she didn’t seem to be able to; or want to. | |||
Instead Aire prefered to be in the openess and vastness of the ocean’s depths. Often times, at night, as the moon’s light shone on the polished stones of the ocean she would swim and see them pass, and see the fish pass, and the arms of plants would wave to her and she’d smile, and in that luminous darkness no one could find her and she owed obedience to no one.

Just as she began to stand her mind and body were struck by pain, screams echoed through her mind as she hit the ground. THUD!

She took a huge gulp of air and the pain ripped through her for a moment longer before disappearing as quickly as it came. She gasped for breath as she stood, helped by the rock that had made her head bleed. Aire’s eyes widened in disbelief. A wave of understanding washed over her like a tsunami.

“Remember to breathe” she thought to herself. She stepped forward and looked carefully ahead, the ocean behind her. She scanned for anything she could see or feel that would help her move forward.

[182] Anduin: web-sites Sat Feb 1 13:15:32 2003 To: all Viewing Status: ALL I think it should be mandatory that following web-sites be a part of the forums page, it's kinda stupid that people can't visit following web-sites 'cause they're not allowed on 1 person's. I dunno how to enforce it, I guess some sort of MUD punishment.
Current Description:
07/17/2010:
As you gaze upon this young man, a wind stirs from out of no where, and a soft voice begins to whisper a tale in your ear:
"A very long time ago there were two moon spirits, Kurirou and Jigou, who were very much in love. Each night they would dance among the stars to express their joy for life and for each other. One day, a sprite from the Earth told Kurirou that she loved him and he was forced to turn her away. The sprite became so filled with jealousy, she became a demon. Fueled by her powerful hatred, she attacked Jigou, his love. She would have been destroyed if not for Kurirou who flew in front of what would have been Jigou's death. Looking up towards the Gods, Jigou begged them to save Kurirou and to her surprise, her plea was answered. A voice spoke to her out of nowhere. "It pains us to see what fate has befallen you and we have decided to grant your wish, in a way. You shall both be given new bodies, and reborn in a new world. You will not be able to recognize each other by sight, yet if your love is true, you shall be re-united one day." Now, so many years later, Kurirou's search continues for Jigou, or she who was once known as Jigou, his true love, his Moon Princess."
What could this tale possibly have to do with the young man before you? Only the faint hint of moonlight's reflection in his eyes gives an answer.
Anduin looks like Link.
Anduin has a special twinkle in his eye.
Anduin is in perfect health.

Character History:
She was always going. But she'd return. Several times they gave her up for dead. But she came back. Her family wanted to educate her: "breathe," they'd tell her. Pay attention to your teacher, he knows. And they'd tell her: "Breathing is one thing that does you a lot of good when you are up there."
Aire had always been a special child: strong, fearless, and ready to rise up to any challenge so it was very much a surprise when she refused to abide by her teacher’s instructions. Simply, she did not like to breathe. While her race had the ability to breathe on land, it was not innate and had to be practiced. Due to her fortitude of character and spirit, Aire had been given a special role within her people, one that would require her to breathe. So everyone was very concerned when she didn’t seem to be able to; or want to.
Instead Aire prefered to be in the openess and vastness of the ocean’s depths. Often times, at night, as the moon’s light shone on the polished stones of the ocean she would swim and see them pass, and see the fish pass, and the arms of plants would wave to her and she’d smile, and in that luminous darkness no one could find her and she owed obedience to no one. In the wetness, Aire lived. In the dryness, no. In the dryness, she wanted to sleep. Sleep was the only thing she wanted.
Just as she began to stand her mind and body were struck by pain, screams echoed through her mind as she hit the ground. THUD! Confusion enveloped her senses, the pain did the rest; she couldn’t figure out what was happening. Suddenly, the words of her teacher echoed in her thoughts: “Breathe”. She took a huge gulp of air and the pain ripped through her for a moment longer before disappearing as quickly as it came. She gasped for breath as she stood, helped by the rock that had made her head bleed. Aire’s eyes widened in disbelief. A wave of understanding washed over her like a tsunami. Aire narrowed her eyes in perfect unison and jumped into the depths of where she came from. Desperate, she hacked her way through the reefs, ducking in and out of underwater caves she raced towards the room that led into her town.
She froze. Aside from a few school of fish there was no sight of anyone. She tore through every reef, every house, every crevice; they were ALL gone. Kneeling, she placed an open palm against the ground and closing her eyes she let out a cry so intense it sent vibrations all along the ocean’s bottom, stirring up the silt. She cursed.
If Aire had been any other Sahuagin, perhaps she would have given up, but nothing seemed to derail the mermaid. She made her way to the surface and stood by the rock once again.

Her feet shifted against the sand covering the path, kicking gently at it with the soft sole of her feet she went towards the thing vibrating against them; she walked towards the forrest. Leaves flittered to the ground as the branches shifted against the delicate footfalls of Aire’s feet. Her long ebony hair tickled her face as her arm raised to grasp the pendant around her neck; the only connection she still had to her people. She kissed the pendant and continued. A single door sitting above the ground held the only entrance she could see. Guild hall. She carefully opened the door…
That night when she slept, she dreamt that she was galloping on the back of a swordfish that turned into a shark that turned into a whale that was an island that broke off from the world. And on board the island were all the people that had left her behind, opened arms and cheeks cherried.
