A New Beginning (Elith Healinghands)
-
Some say that our past defines who we are. If that is indeed true, I am a faithful priest of Corellon, a loyal friend, a skilled swordsman. But if the aforementioned statement is true, I am also a traitor, a weak soul, a man who fought against the very people who called him a trusting friend. Is it possible for a man to redefine who he is, without the ability to change what he has done?
I have been given a wonderful gift - One that sometimes feels more a curse. I have been granted a second chance at life, but at a cost. I have no recollection of my past prior to awakening in the crypts, naked and alone. With the help of some close friends, I have been retold a small majority of my past. But it feels as though I am listening to the adventures, conquests, and failures of another. These memories feel foreign, but I must somehow make them my own.
I have been punished for crimes I did not knowingly or willingly commit, but these were my actions nonetheless. Because of these actions, I have fallen out of the Father's graces. I now dedicate myself to regaining his favor, so I may once serve him as I had. It is a truly terrible feeling, knowing I have lost that which I had dedicated an entire lifetime to serving. At times, I was ready to abandon my faith.
But with some sound advice from an old and trusted friend, I am once again prepared to serve my lord and his children. Corellon, help me.
