I could of made it longer, but I figure some of the parts would infringe on the group aspect being together, and it would just take out from stuff I could say or reveal in the story about things like her training and what not. :)<br/><br/>Background:<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Elisia was born into the world simply as a commoner to two human parents. When she was less then a year old, an unfortunate accident occurred where a fire broke otu their home and engulfed it in flames. Her parents and 3 year old brother were all killed in the flames. Miraculously, the young baby was found in the charred ruins, somehow managing to survive from the cruel death that had taken her family. A half-elf woman took the young baby into her care. She was a friend of the family and sought to repay them back in anyway possible, and raising their young child seemed the best way she could provide that service to the recently deceased family. She grew up in a small village with the woman that was primarily made up of half-elves. She found herself completely adapt to such a place as, despite her racial differences, she felt as if she belonged with them. She made friends with many of the children and came to be friends with a girl she called her best friend. She couldn't of been happier in such a place as she was able to live in peace and be with her adoptive mother and best friend all the time in what seemed like a paradise in her child like mind. Things began to change suddenly for the girl with the appearance of an strange man.<br/><br/>It was a rather ordinary cloudy day while she was playing with her friend Ari (as she called her) when she noticed a strange man dressed in black wearing a black hat staring at her. It had startled her a bit at first to look away, only to look back and see him gone. She returned to her adoptive mother to find the man exiting her home. The smirk on his face remained etched into her mind as he bowed his head a bit before her and left. When she asked her mother, she seemed rather uneasy and avoided the subject and put on a fake smile.  The fourteen year old simply left it at that and simply let that day pass off. It was a few months later when she was about to go and hang out with her best friend that she was suddenly approached by a group of individuals donning a strange black and white robes. They stood speaking to her mother who seemed rather uneasy and shaking her head. Her adoptable half-elf mother gave her a hug and cried as she had told her of the promises of a good life they would give her and help her to understand her role. Not wanting to go, the girl refused at first though she was pulled away against her initial will. She watched her adoptive mother as they pleaded with her to relax and closed the door to the carriage. She could remember the distant look of her friend as her heart sank looking towards her from the dark glass with tears in her eyes as she was pulled away from what she felt like was a perfect life. It was the end of her child hood and the start of her life as an oracle.<br/><br/>The group of individuals who took her revealed themselves to be known as the White Covenant. The group worships in the name of the light and takes worship in the gods of both good and neutral intent. They had sought out an oracle which a particular mercenary found for their sake that happened to be Elisia. She was rather resistant at first to join them. She wanted to simply be back with her family. They made it well known that such an option was unfortunately impossible and attempted to give her praise and worship and attempted to teach her of her divine heritage. It was through their teachings she realized the odd occurrences around her during her life weren't some fluke but rather a sign of her particular curse. She slowly began to give into their urging and learned to use her powers and abilities and became known as Lady Elisia and found respect among the other members as she was treated as an idol. She grew to enjoy her roll in the White Covenant, though her mind still lingered to the outside world that seemed to taunt her. Even with such a rich life, she missed and longed for her best friend and her adoptive mother who she found so much attachment with. <br/><br/>A sudden change of events occurred when the man in black came to visit. The mercenary had shown himself several times which she often only could catch his gaze or a simple witty comment before he would disappear just as quickly as he came. On this visit, however, he had come to specifically talk with her. It was through his words that she learned of a supposed object of divine heritage that apparently came suddenly into existence and seemed to call out for her. It was with his words and urging to the group that managed to get her freed from the confinement of her life in the temple. She was the only one according to the man named as Demetre who could find this object and take it. A promise of the item lost in a world long lost in the past that could bring back the prosperity of the gods with the young woman's help. The young oracle and a small group of her follows took steps and made their way to seek the item and attempt to find her a group who could aid in her search. Little did Elisia know, the past would creep back into her life and the journey would bring the desiring oracle much more then she ever bargained for.</div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>You know with how our stories go, you're Glenda the Good Witch and I'm Elphaba from Wicked >.><br/>
