Born with a high elf mother--Alas--and a dark elf father--Lorsan--Mystica was born of mixed blood near the city of Sutica. Lorsan was a captain of a ship and Alas was a secretly a sorceress travelling throughout the lands. As their love deeped, they had attempts to make a child. It took awhile due to the elven curse, but after thirteen years of trying Alas gave birth to Mystica. They sailed off towards the west in attempts to start a new family life in the seas. They found an island, and proceeded to make a town. But something dark was lingering, one of Lorsan’s crewmates--Arel--felt it. The crew began to hear voices, feel burns, and still experienced starvation even after eating.
Within ten days, they began to build shrines to an unknown deity whose name has only been spoken by the voices, Xakilt. In his battered state after gardening, Arel stumbled upon the captain’s house and saw through the window of Alas wielding amber. Connecting the dots did Arel attempted to tell his friends that they were being bewitched. However, they turned on him, their minds nearly riddled with madness. The only person Arel can save, was Lorsan’s child. After running off towards the forest did he hesitantly returned a few days later; everyone was already gathered around a shrine. Entering the home did he took Mystica from her crib and a journal he noticed in Alas’ chambers. Stealing some food and an escape boat from the ship, they sailed back to the mainland. The journal revealed that the woman Lorsan loved never existed. She was once an illusionist who was infected by a shade and surrendered to her dark personality.
Arel moved to his home of Curion, raising Mystica while ignoring the jeers of his fellow humans. From his past of fighting pirates with Lorsan did he teach her how to use a sword. And with his memories of his childhood did he teach her how to read and write. They were a happy family for nine years until a rogue group of dwarves invaded the city. And with her own eyes did Mystica watch them slaughtered her step-father without mercy. Ever since then she traveled Arcas alone, lost to the world until she came to Sutica thirteen years later.
