<strong>Mendev</strong><br/><br/><strong>Nicole Dresden</strong>(http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=374141)<br/><br/>It was silent tonight outside, and that made Nicole happy, she was brought in with one of the crusader families shortly after her home was assaulted by a demon.  Nicole was hiding in a barn when the demon attacked, the barn was on fire and while she was fleeing form the demon a piece of one of the support beams fell down and hit her in the eyes.  The demon left her for dead, she somehow survived and awoke unscathed minus the fact that her eyesight was now nearly gone.  She stumbled about for a couple of days when she discovered something else, she caught glimpses of the future from time to time.  She saw that a group of knights nearby was going to be ambushed and she ran towards where the visions told her they were at.  Stumbling upon she told the group that there was an ambush nearby.  Sure enough there was.  The leader of the group was Sir Nathaniel Dresden and he took young Nicole after he found out her family was killed.<br/><br/>Dresden saw how the woman had great gifts in foresight, but he also never had a daughter and liked the thought of having a daughter of his own.  So he adopted her as his own daughter and had her when she could do so catch a glimpse of the future or glean for knowledge that he did not know.  Dresden treated the girl as if she was his own blood and gave her whatever he could give to her; love, gifts, etc.  He wanted to make certain that since her family was dead that he was going to be the best substitute she could have Iomedae dammit.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Dresden failed in one thing as a father to Nicole.  He wasn't as vigilant in keeping Nicole's power a secret and the knowledge of that came to the ear of Luca Jedore, who waited until Nicole Dresden was the most vulnerable...<br/><br/>Which was tonight, as Sir Dresden was taking his daughter out along with his sons to deal with a small border skirmish, he took Nicole as he wanted her assistance should there be any surprises.  They were at camp, and Nicole is resting inside her tent...<br/><br/>The camp is an enclosed circle where there is a fire in the middle, there is only two people awake at the moment sitting at the fire.  Nathaniel Dresden and his son Viktor.  Everyone else is asleep.
