------------------------------------

Astaria was a small mountain village, nestled on the outskirts of a large, dense forest. It's people, a kind people, endured the Forever Winter queen and her harsh, cold snows. They knew little of warmth, and sunny summers, having lived all their lives in the dull, graying days of winters wrath. They hunted, and traded furs and meats to maintain steady income. Others crafted fine jewels and trinkets to trade. Outsiders traveled far to experience their warm hospitality, and their legendary mountain magics.

The people of Astaria came from every corner of the ten kingdoms. Half breeds, mortals, magicians, to Spell Casters. They lived and prospered together, and opened their doors to outsiders of near any kin. However, the usually quiet, peaceful village, had fallen to an unnatural plague. Demons were foraging through their surroundings woods, and in the dead of night stealing their children and helpless. Fear had been stricken into the hearts of Astarias own.

They'd been under this siege for nearly a month, and finally some villagers had had enough. A group of hunters had set forth into the woods early in the evening.. unprepared for what they believed would be an easy run. Only two of seven men returned. Astaria sent word, to every corner of the Ten Kingdoms, begging for hunters, Slayers, Wizards and Sorceress's to come and rid them of their haunting. With heads bent low.. and hopes strained.. the people of Astaria prayed.

The harsh, winters wind whipped across her face, and threatened to freeze her on down to her very bones. The temperature had steadily been dropping the closer she approached to the mountains. The steady sound of hooves beating into the snow covered ground, matched the steady drumming of her heart. Her only company, on this long.. lonely journey. Word of Astaria's burden had reached the Temple of the Nagaraja. The people of the Snake God. In her eagerness to earn her place amongst her people, Anya had stepped forth to take on the problem at hand.

She had been prepared and ready for travel within a fortnight, and set upon her journey with heavy hearts of her people. Steel blue eyes stared out from the shadows of a hood, panning the surrounding areas. Readily assessing her surroundings and assuring herself she was on the right trail. Leather bound fingers gripped tightly on upon the reins and pulled firmly towards her chest, the Steed came to a slow halt, heavy breaths huff through flared nostrils, dark eyes rolling back straining to peer upon its mistress.

She leaned forth and stroked her palm against his craned neck, before returning to an upright position. Hands rose and drew the hood from her crown, revealing rivulets of spiraling curls shining black as the deepest dark pulled back into a loose winding braid. Pale, nearly translucent skin shimmered in the paling winters light.

" Well, Armani.. I hope others from the Brother and Sister kingdoms have come.. for I feel a power greater than my own.. I can not do this alone.."

As if he understood, the horse stomped his hooves worriedly and threw his head back a few times, rustling his russet coloured mane. She shushed him, and comforted him with whispers of sweet nothings, before encouraging him to continue along the path with a stern dig of her heels. The path ahead shook with a dark aura, it weighed down upon her shoulders, and made her fear for the future of this village and its people.. why had they not yet fled? What were they protecting?
