Dawn Breeze

History

Born in Salt-Founded Glory in the Shore Lands of An-Teng, the girl known as Dawn Breeze was the third child of five born to a moderately well-off merchant and his wife. Life in the two-tiered house was comfortable, despite hot, humid, mosquito-infested summers & foggy, clammy winters, and she grew up with many friends in her social class, running from house to house and taking little boats around the canals of the city.

There were two events that completely changed the direction of her life, that had a direct hand in shaping who she would become.

The first was an encounter with an exorcist at the age of 12. Paddling her small boat across the canals one evening she came out into one of the smaller branches of the river to see an old man sitting in a boat in the middle of the river, slowly sinking. Moving to his side she asked if he was alright? “No,” he replied, “I cannot swim and my boat is sinking.” Did he want her to pull him to safety, she asked? “No,” he said again, “But you should go home, I would not want a life as young as yours on my already troubled conscience.” She wanted to ask what he meant, but something in his demeanour made her listen to him, at least until she reached the canals again. Turning her boat she watched from the deepening shadows as the old man sat patiently in his decrepit boat and waited.

As the last rays of the sun disappeared from the western horizon the water around the old man moved and a black hand, encrusted with barnacles and with razor-sharp talons reaches noiselessly up from behind him. Dawn Breeze wanted to scream a warning, but no sound would from her throat. She need not have bothered, as the old man turned, lightning-fast, and slapped a long, white prayer-strip onto the creature's hand. The howl that boiled out of the water scared the flocks of red-tipped crane that rested in the trees out into the sky, and woke half the neighbourhood. But the creature, a particularly inimical kind of water elemental she would later learn, was bound and the old man bade it push his boat over to where the young girl waited.

”That was very dangerous,” he said to her, “It might have gone after you instead, and then you would be dead and I would still be sinking.” What was it, she asked? Who was he? Why had he done it? “Do you want to know?” he asked in reply, his first question, “Do you really want to know.”

She did.

The second was four years later, on the day of her oldest sister's wedding. The Golden Lord's priest was about to give his final blessing on the union when a Dragon-Blood, newly-arrived from the Blessed Isle, strode into the shrine. He was tall, with dark skin, ruddy hair and eyes that burned like coal and his physical presence was overwhelming His gaze fell upon Summer Blossom, Dawn's sister, his eyes lit up and, without so much as a word to her intended, picked her up, threw her bodily over his shoulder and ran off with her, screaming and struggling.

She was returned a week later – dropped outside her parent's porch; naked, bruised and abused. Her eyes, previously full of life and smiles, were hollow and she rarely spoke a word. It took a month for her to face anyone beyond her family and by that time she was obviously pregnant. Strong protests were made to government officials, all the way up to the Prince, but there was no redress – rumour reach Dawn's ears that the responsible Exalt had been reprimanded for his actions, but nothing more.

The marriage took place a year later than originally planned, and in attendance was a six-month old boy with dark skin and ruddy hair, born to parents who had neither. Dawn Breeze's belief in the Immaculate faith, already shaky from her time with Wise Shen, had been shattered by this point and she vowed to never attend another Immaculate service.

She didn't.
