Well let me think, it should be the Bannered Steed next to the market place, they had some of the best homebrew... nevermind, anyway let's go, follow me.
Jakub started heading into the direction of town but spun around to face the group.
You guys are going to see me before I was cursed... but you will also see someone else very important to me. I feel before we go you need to know the story so you do not judge her for what she has become... some of you know her by Tenebris which was not always the case, Once she was Lucerna the only light I found in the world.
Many years ago I was a wanderer with no home, I had run away from my birth parents, they were Nobles and I rejected the birthright bestowed on me. It was a cold night and I was alone in the woods, a woman named Dolosi found me and took me in. When I found myself in her tower I was taken away at the sight of her daughter. This was when I first met Lucerna, I was immediately taken away by the young maidens beauty. I learned that Dolosi was a powerful sorceress, and she agreed to train me in the arts of magic. Years went by and I became stronger and older. Lucerna and I became the closest of friends, we would often walk through the forest together and train in the fields. One day after a long morning of practice dueling we collapsed against a tree gasping for air, when we looked at each other we couldn't stop laughing, then we stopped laughing, it was then we realized our relationship was going to be more than just friends. Things escalated beautifully over the fallowing years, I got more and more powerful, but Dolosi was beginning to act strange, she would spend most of her time locked away in her upper room. Finally, I decided to go and investigate what I found was horrific she was practicing a dark magic communing with great evils bent on destroying the world. I couldn't let that happen, I cared too much for the world, and for myself, and for Lucerna, I had to stop Dolosi. And just like the flick of my fingers I did it, I caught her off guard and she fell to the ground, she was staring straight at me and she began to laugh. I can clearly remember her words
You have destroyed this vessel, but evil will always find ways into the world, and they are always closest to good
Lucerna entered the room and dropped the pot of stew she was bringing to her mother. I can remember the cry she let out as she realized what had happened. She dashed to her mother's side and cried, I-I tried to comfort her but s-she turned around and her eyes, they were black with an unholy rage, she screamed at me with the voice of a demon.
You foolish mortal, you have taken the only thing I loved away from me, my only family, you will now know the pain of such a fate, from this day forth you will not age, everything will fade around you, people, kingdoms, cultures, and eventually even love itself will fall from your mind, this is your curse for now till the world splits beneath you and swallows you up.
It wasn't her, but it was, it was as if something was taking advantage of her weakened state and corrupting her mind, she vanished leaving me forever, she took on the name of Tenebris and tormented the lands, trying to complete her mothers quest.
Jakub's head hung weakly and tears streamed down his face.
What I am trying to get at is she wasn't always the evil person you met in Arbor Harbor she used to be so much more, she used to be the light.
