User:StarHawk/Esira Midnight Hunter
From Exalted - Unofficial Wiki
She drove herself from her people when she contracted a strange desease which left her barren. Finding his wife barren and no-longer able to have his children he left her in the most un-kind of ways to spread his seed with someone else. With her will to live and her heart broken she ran away from her problems and her people. She went away to the east and lived on her own far away from people and the corruption they have brought to the world. Years pass and she is becoming slowly more confident in herself. Growing to understand that life goes on without family and friends, but it's a lonely life. Still mourning for the family she would never have she stayed in the wilderness for ten years before she became comfortable with her position in life. She decided to turn back, and go home.
- As the hotter months of the year was nearing Esira came to take a rest by one of the many rivers that reach through the eastern threshold. As the noon-day sun tanned her sculpted body she heard a voice above her. The words were hard to understand, but the meaning was clear. Someone wanted her to get up and find something. She stood slowly looking upward into the sky and found herself asking to no one. "Yes? Who's that? What do I need to find?" Again more words flowed over her as she continued to squint into the sun searching for her answer. Something about a great hunt. Something she must do to set things right. There were people who needed her. A greater purpose to her life. Giving her meaning, a goal. But the voice was moving away. It was going deeper to the west, so she followed. She listened to this voice tell a story as she followed. The walk was slow and not very demanding so she could follow it's words easily. The voice told of a story of the Unconqured Sun and his chosen. She listened closely as the voice lead her further west.
- "The chosen of the Sun once were great leaders of men. A cut above the rest. And they lead their people into a golden time of happiness. But as time drew on, they became arrogant and indulgent. They slowly but surely endulged their darker side. And their people were being abused and were becoming unhappy. Seeing their arrogance their sire, The Sun, warned them to turn aside their corrupted ways. They did not. They did not heed the sun, so he turned his back on them. Leaving them to their own devices his chosen did not learn. They became worse. Many thought them possessed by evil. There were some who stood up to them. Took down the Golden Chilren of the sun. Locked away their souls and took over the land that was once theirs. The Sun was hurt to see what happened to his children. But it was their choice." The voice grew sad. "It was quite some time later that their souls were feed to return to the great wheel. Now the chosen of the Sun have come back, to proove they are not as evil as everyone thinks. They have come back to set everything right. To stand in the face of corruption, to battle the forces of the unclean and the ones that are truely evil. It is time the age turns, and when it does, the Solar Exalted should be there to lead others to another age of Golden Utopia."

- The voice stopped as Esira came to a clearing. Among the trees there is an ivy-covered structure. Upon closer inspection it's something like a Temple. The front doors has a symbol of the Sun at it's zenith. A large golden disk facing her. She touched the disk and willed it to open. As she entered she felt a great sense of familiarity. Everything inside was lit like it was noon indoors. All around her were images of a beautiful woman among hordes of people. They were all looking up to her for obvious guidance. Perhaps in prayer. Esira looked on the image and could almost see herself in such a position. The woman in the image must have been a chosen of the Sun. As Esira continued through her newly found place of power she found tools to help her on her quest. At the center, she found a beautifully crafted Jewlry stand, resembling a tree, made of a white jade, with flowers of orichalcum, red and green jade. On this tree on one of the branches was a necklace with an amulet holding a beautiful stone. Esira could not help herself, she put it on and instantly felt like she knew the most intimate details of everything around her. This is where she was meant to be.
