BIO / BACKGROUND HISTORY:
Hi, my name is Bethel Mellifera Sjóúlfur but most people just call me Bee. I was born in a small tight knit community with our fishing village built into the cliffs off the Eastern coast.
My life was pretty good. As a child I would accompany my father, Bifur Sjóúlfur, on short fishing trips and at home I would help my mother, Zephyr Sjóúlfur, cook meals for the family. There was this one rock I loved to sit on and play, and practice my flute with all the birds. I used to love to play with my older sister Chicory Myra Sjóúlfur, but I called her Cory. We would make up so many games. One of my favorites was a game called “Ghost in the closet.” It was an ongoing sort of game where the objective was to try to scare the other person without them seeing you. One day she decided to set off to see the world and I haven’t heard from her since. I still think about her from time to time and wonder where she might be right now and if she’s thinking of me too.
I had just turned sixteen and was allowed now, to go on longer week long fishing trips with my father and some of his friends. Later that week I was going to leave for one of these fishing trips. Before I left I heard rumors about a ship no one had seen before, bearing a pirate’s flag, but I tried not to think much of it.
The first few days went relatively smoothly except for a few minor things like the sail torn a bit but we were able to fix it pretty easily. Side note, have you ever eaten swordfish? It’s so good. Around four days in, I woke up to the sound of people shouting so I crept out of the cabin to see what was going on. What I saw was a big ship bearing a pirate’s flag. They were about to drop down their boarding planks. My father yelled at me to stay back but I thought I could help so I grabbed a knife and stood there as they boarded our ship. We tried to fight back but there were too many of them and we were quickly bound and gagged and thrown in the holding cells in the bottom of the ship.
After about a week of being locked up in the cellar of the ship, I heard a big crash and a bunch of fighting and after about fifteen minutes of this, someone came down into the cellar and unlocked the prisons. We were led up a flight of stairs and then something hit me in the back of the head and then I saw nothing. A few hours later I awoke on a completely new ship called “The Shadow Strike.” After meeting and getting acquainted with Drake Carrion and Tor Inazuma, I started helping around the ship. A few weeks later we were able to be dropped off at the southern Nightriver border and we started making our way back to my village. We traveled up the coast for days and eventually made it back home. Once we finally made it back home, we had a big feast to celebrate the fact we were still alive. After a while at home, I decided to just say goodbye to my parents (for now) and leave on a quest to find Drake Carrion, because I heard talks of a group being formed called the Bardbarians and I was hoping to join. I promised my parents and my community I would come back and see them again soon. And so I set off.
This is where our story leaves off… for now…
