IzzyBo

Izzy opened her eyes slowly, the room was completely white, a shocking contrast to the caves. Blinking her eyes she looked around, there was a woman at the foot of her bed watching her.

“So your awake” Azura remarked “What do you remember?” Izzy continued to stare at her. “Your name is Isabeau, or as your sister calls you Izzy” moving around the side of the bed she looked down at the young girl and asked “Do you remember Kegan? She has been looking for you.”

Izzy looked up at the woman and was about to answer when she heard a load crash in the room above her, followed by breaking glass. A Man’s muffled voice was heard shouting. “Maybe we should go help” Izzy commented and glanced at the door.

“No” Azura responded “Mykal is up there I know he can handle the problem.” Just then a woman’s body fell past her window. Azura picked up the phone “Security get up to the third floor NOW!”

Origin of Kara and Helgi: The “Lost” Lay of Kara (Same as Kegan)

Helgi Was protected by his wife Kara the Valkyrie. She would fly over him in battle, granting him luck and the victory. One day while fighting Hromund he swings his sword to high and cut off Kara’s foot killing her. With Kara dead Helgi’s luck has run out and Hromund cuts of his head. Odinn sends the Valkyries to collect Kara and Helgi and bring them back to Valhalla.

Freyja is not at all happy that Helgi has gotten Kara killed again. Freyja is allowed to choose half of the warrior slain in battle, and as custom dictates is allowed first choice. She chooses Kara, since this is in fact the third time Helgi has gotten her killed. Odinn is greatly annoyed at the loss another Valkyrie to Freyja, but he must follow the rules. Kara did if fact fall on the battlefield so Freyja is allowed to choose her. Odinn in turn takes Helgi. Kara goes to Folkvang to live with Freyja and the other Valkyries while Helgi stays in Valhalla to train for Ragnarok. In Folkvang Kara gives birth to twin girls Kegan and Isabeau “Izzy”.

Isabeau’s Story:

Time moves slower in Folkvang so by the time Kegan and Izzy are 16 a great deal of time has passed on earth. The great warriors and their sons left Valhalla and Folkvang to fight in the Rikti Wars (Ragnarok). At this time all of the remaining Valkyries and their children travel to the northern part of Scandinavia and settle in a village they call “New Folkvang”. The Valkyries start to train their children in the art of combat.

One day after lessons Kegan and Izzy go down to the lake to cool off. Members of the “Circle of Thorns” attack the girls. Izzy is captured by them and taken away. While in their custody they perform a spell on her. Mutating her genes with those of a jaguar. She gains extraordinary powers from the experiment and is able to escape as a result. Breaking out of her cell she makes her way out of the caves and out into the city. Here she instinctively starts fighting crime and searching for answer. She has no clear memory of her life before her escape and no knowledge of her sister Kegan. Though she does feel a connection to someone or something she can’t quite put her finger on it.

Isabeau’s Short Bio: As seen under info in the game.

Daughter of Kara the Valkyrie, Isabeau (Izzy) has not come to Paragon of her own freewill. She was in fact kidnapped by the Circle of Thorns 2 Years ago. The Circle of thorns performed experiments on her. By combining her genes with those of a jaguar named Jade, she has gained increased speed and reflexes, along with spots and a tail. But she has lost all of her memories. Having escaped from her captors, she wonders the streets in search of something or someone. She has no Idea that her sister Kegan has come in search of her. She avoids the woods in Perze but doesn’t know why.

A small figure sits cross legged in the center of a cell. The cave around her is dark and damp. The only movement is the occasional flip of her tail. It has been over a year since she was taken from her home. Her memories are a jumble of confusing images she can’t quite put together. She has changed, that she is sure of. But how is another question. She has superior reflexes, a heightened sense of smell and increased vision. But there is something else that has changed; somehow she is different, she just can’t put her finger on it. Flicking her tail, she turns her head at the sound of the men talking down the hall. They are going out tonight, she smiles, and only leaving behind four men to guard her. “Ah … this is going to be easy!” They have grown over confident in their control over her. For months she has been trained by them to fight. Pitting her against all manner of monsters, some more then twice her size. Now they think four men can contain her. No matter they will soon learn the error of their ways.

“Soon child we shall strike” a voice sound inside her head. It seems somehow different … closer. “Yes” Izzy responds and closes her eyes “Soon”.

A short while latter a young mage approaches. With shaking hands he opens the door and steps into her cell, setting her dinner on the table he turns to leave. Before he takes two steps towards the door he is knocked-out cold. Standing over him Izzy stretches her neck and looks down at the young mage. “At least he was smart enough to be afraid” she flips her tail “One down … three to go.” Stepping out the door she heads down the tunnel to the next room.

“Careful child this will be your only chance. They won’t make this mistake again.”

Slowly she approaches the door. Standing in the shadows she watches the three remaining men, waiting for the right time to strike.

“Now”

Izzy responds to the command, leaping into action she takes out the two closet men in a single move, and lands next to them without making a sound. “Three down … one to go.”

“So I was right about you” The remaining mage says not even bothering to face her he continues to write at his desk. “You have been playing with us. Do you really think I was fooled, that I would let a prize like you go?” Suddenly he turns and shots her with a dart.

“Fool” Izzy growls as she yanks the dart out of her leg “You will pay for that” Before he can stand she is upon him. Pinning him to the desk she shots “Who am I and what have you done to me?” The mage only grins at her. “Tell me or I will kill you” she hisses.

“You don’t have it in you little one.” All these months and you haven’t killed a single being. Even now as you make your escape you don’t have the heart to kill the men who tortured you”

“Your right, I am not a monster” knocking him out Izzy heads for the door, to freedom. In her heart she knows it is foolish to leave the man alive. But she is not ready to kill. Bursting out into the light she runs through the forest. Leaping over fallen trees and dodging branches she makes her way to a clearing. Stopping to catch her breath she looks down at her leg. It is now covered in blood and in pain. “I’m not feeling so well” Izzy braces her self against a lamp post. “Hold on child I’m getting some help” Before she can answer Izzy collapses on the ground.

“Subject located standby for transportation in … 3…2 … 1... Transporting to Atlas Hospital
now …”

Azura picks up the phone “We got her, do you want me to call Kegan?”

“Izzy, wake up” a voice sounded inside her head.

“Do you have to shout, my head is killing me” Izzy whimpered as she held her hands over her ears.

“Something is happening” Jade noted “They are removing people and animals in groups. “ But none of them are coming back.

Izzy sat up straighter “What’s going on?”

“I’m not sure” Jade replied as she peered down the tunnel. “They are coming for us now”

“What … How do you know we are next ... there could be more …”

“No” Jade cut in “We are the only ones left is this cave” Jade turned to Izzy and looked her straight in the eyes. “Do you trust me?” Izzy Nodded “Know this child I will never leave you, I will get us out of here! You just have to trust me”

The mage stepped in front of Izzy’s cage. “It’s her, she is different from the others. I can tell she's the one we need, the rest we just practice.” Izzy slowly felt the world slip away, as she passed into darkness she heard again “I will get us out of here, trust me.”

Izzy slowly opened her eyes and looked around. It was dark and damp and she had no idea where she was. To top it off her head was killing her. She closed her eyes and tried to reach out to Kegan. Nothing, this was not good. The last thing she remembered was running through the woods behind her sister. She had felt a sharp pain … then darkness. Well she was awake now and from the feel of it she was in a cave. The ground bellow her was hard and damp. She slowly crawled to the bars of her cage and peered out. Across from her she could just make out the shape of a large black cat. She tried to focus; it appeared to be a Jaguar.

“Your correct” a voice spoke inside her head. “My name is Jade, and you are?”

“Isabeau, but my friends call me Izzy” she had never talked to such a large animal like this before.

“Ah so now we are friends” Jade chuckled as she flipped her tail “Fair enough the enemy of my enemy is my friend”

“Yes” Izzy stammered “Do you know where we are?”

“No child I do not”
