Before Zolisa was born, her mother had a life of poor decisions and irresponsibility. She slept around with strangers to make money, and didn't think twice of the consequence that would come upon her if she
wasn’t careful. One night, she was intoxicated and slept the night at a guys house. The next morning, she came back home with the symptoms of pregnancy. She thought it was probably the hangover that made her feel like that, but she thought wrong. She got in contact with the guy she got with the night before, and tried discussing about the baby with him. He argued with her, saying that he didn't want anything with her baby, and that she was on her own. She cried a lot that night, but finally owned up to taking care of her child. Overtime, her stomach grew bigger, and bigger, and before you know it, her water breaks while she’s in town. She got carried to the nearest building and got the proper care she needed to give birth to a child. When it was finally over, she was offered to see her child but she denied. She had tears stream down her cheeks as she couldn’t bare to look at the baby.
“Take her somewhere far from here, for she will never be accepted here in this society of Sutica. ” She said this knowing she lived in a big city, and was known for selling her body. So the two respectful elves did the mother a kind favor and did as the mother asked. She told them to send her baby to Irrinor. They traveled there to the forest late at night, and found a tree of many that was perfect. So they placed the baby infront of a tree that held a home above it. The two elves then flee from the area back to their hometown, leaving the baby on the ground. The baby cried and cried, and finally the owner of the house that stood above the baby came out confused and notices the child on the ground. The owner was an old lady with short frizzy hair and she had light green eyes. The lady was around her 60s and her name was Nellon. She rushed down and picked the baby up and took her back up to her house. As she held the baby in her arms, she looked at the her with sad eyes. “Why you poor thing,” She whispered to the baby. “I’ll take good care of you and keep you safe. I’m going to give you a name young lady, that name is Zolisa.”
From then on, Nellon kept her word and grew older with age as Zolisa grew into her adulthood. Nellon taught Zolisa how to walk, how to talk, but her favorite thing to teach Zolisa was about the environment around them. She loved to take Zolisa out into the wilderness and teach her how to plant trees, plant crops, and how to care for a injured animal. Zolisa learned many things from Nellon that has taught her how to survive on her own if she needed to. Little did she know, she was eventually gonna have to. Because by the time she hit the age 18, Nellon died due to a poisonous snake bite, for she was to old and couldn't really defend herself. Ever since Nellon died, Zolisa felt vulnerable and alone and didn’t know what to do. So she tried to follow the steps Nellon had taught her on how to handle these types of situations, and it helped. By then, she knew Nellon wouldn’t want her to grieve over her death. So she accepted fait and went on with her life. She was then living on her own, in her own defense, in what use to be Nellons home, which is now Zolisa’s home.
Two years later, Zolisa who is now 20 years old is still living in Nellons home, living her best life, and surviving on her own and learning new things everyday. Not just about herself, but also her region, her own speices and her home.
