It was a cold winter, cold as were all the winters passed, and as will future ones. The cold wind swept across the steppe incessantly, hitting everything with sharp blades of ice.
Just that night, which ultimately was equal to a thousand other nights, was born a girl.
came to light in the light Norek, one of the main camps Krevestk people. The large cluster of dark curtains arose years ago not far from the Reut River in the heart of Bessarabia. Eruanna's parents called it, which means "Gift of God", to thank the gods for finally pardoned him, so long awaited, to have a child. Eruanna grew up surrounded by the love of parents, who had her in their greatest treasure. His mother was a priestess Eky Venila devoted to the Goddess, Lord of life and death. He taught respect for life in all its forms and expressions, as well as carrying out various household tasks which belonged to the women of his people. The transmitted sweetness and gentle ways, the concern for others and patience of listening. Karzak, the father, was a tall, strong, leader of the warriors Norek. Skilled fighter, he loved her daughter dearly, and especially the more rebellious side of her character. Many women krevestk knew it ride, but the girl's passion for riding went well beyond. Eruanna loved to ride, and soon learned to sit in the saddle without difficulty. Karzak could not resist to the repeated entreaties of his daughter and secretly pleased with this particular vocation, taught her to ride as he would a son. Eruanna And so, with the passage of time, he learned to ride sleeping bareback. After many falls and bruises, was able to Learn the techniques to jump in and get back quickly from a horse launched a small run. Proud Karzak watched his daughter do the difficult maneuvers typical of the Knights of their people.
As time passed Eruanna grew, becoming every day more beautiful. His life went quiet, although some people thought it was unseemly for a girl to ride in such a way. His childhood spent in peace, till it came on the day of his seventeenth birthday. On that particular day Eruanna immersed himself in the holy waters of a small source surrounded by the greenery of a forest that stretched his arms toward the sky. Once the girl had emerged from the cold and crystal clear waters, the high priestess of the overlaid a white gown, and led her into the nearby temple of gray stone. Here a young priest tattooed on the back of an eight-pointed star enclosed in a perfect circle, a symbol of the people of his fathers. Finally Eruanna threw in a brazier a small piece of parchment on which was written the secret name, chosen by herself, and from that moment would be accompanied throughout their lives. A name to be revealed only to their loved ones and trusted: SURE INDIS Yendi, which means "valiant woman Daughter of the Wind" From that moment Eruanna became fully a woman. His life, however, did not change much. That existence quiet liked, but the young woman is discovered often look to the horizon, eager to know what lurked beyond the steppes and forests. His eyes hunted to see the lands that stretched to occas. The nomadic spirit of his people was strong in her, but the girl did not go away for the sake of the parents.
But the people of the desert know that life changes quickly, like the blue sky suddenly takes on the lead, pushing storm clouds. And the east wind began to blow, bringing with them the warriors of an unknown people. They came down with the force of a hammer on iron Norek, turning the lives of many. Not least proved the Knights led by Karzak. Fought with value, ready to win on their horses or perish with them. And he won ... but at a price. Many perished, killed by the long axes of the invaders. Among the bodies cold, empty soul already taken by the Goddess, Eruanna found his father's. Great was the burning pain in the heart of the young, pain-red tongues of fire that rose to the sky black as death, and wrapped the body of the warrior. Now he was riding in the green steppe, worthy of being next to their fathers.
And time was running the same, indifferent to the events of men.
And the nomadic spirit of his people was strong in her, but the girl did not go away for the sake of the mother. And as if to break the deadlock of the young, the Goddess of the soul Eky carp slowly bring it closer to him every day and away from mortal men. On a spring night the woman's eyes were closed, to reopen just beyond the thin curtain of fog that is death.
And the nomadic spirit of his people was strong in her, but she still did not go away, because they are too tied to his land.
Another year passed, and the nomadic spirit of his people was growing in her, and Eruanna, at the end of spring, on a chilly sunlit morning, mounted his horse and walked away from Norek. He turned to look at for the last time the tents of the camp, which stood on the dark earth dark, silhouetted against the turquoise sky ... And finally pointed towards the unknown lands of the west where the sun always going to die. With the wind in your hair, the immensity of the steppe in the eye and the horse under him went to meet his fate ... and was nothing if not a thousand and one of its nomadic people, who from time immemorial had roamed the earth , bringing with them the memory of tents in the starry night. And the nomadic spirit of his people was strong in her ...
Three years had passed since that day, and in the dawn of a cold winter morning Eruanna came to Avalon. Beth was 11, was on his twenty-third birthday.
