CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

           everal years ago I discovered Kelos in a female avatar. I asked for some of his story, but it was yet unresolved. Only recently I met up with Kelos again at the Aliance threshold as he was retelling this story. I confess that I have taken a few liberties with his words, trying to combine the two tales.

"A darkmare named Ataraxis fell in love with me. I was a male avatar, and Ataraxis was also a male.

"During a battle at House Calenture, Ataraxis and his buddies collapsed me and awakened me. The facade was full of collapsed Calenturians. The darkmares kept evoking curse on me...over and over. They forced me to wake as a soulsphere. When I returned to the dream I was female. That was when the darkmares went crazy. It was then that Ataraxis seemed to know when I was dreaming. He chased me everywhere. I was a ruler then. I had my own private guard to protect me. Belgereth, Osric and Jamey tried to protect me from Ataraxis. I refused his affection, he collapsed me daily. even Kvasir could not protect me. This went on for weeks.

"Ataraxis posted a post on Calenture's mission board and called me a "Kaos dreamrz". Ataraxis grew to hate me even more when I refused his advances. He entered the ruler area. The essences told different things back then.

"About that time, the great warrior, Kvasir, started visiting House Calenture. Kvasir did something and I'm not sure what. But he and Ataraxis have not returned. Kvasir and Atarxis disappeared together... Kvasir pledged to me that he would rid me of Ataraxis. Yet Kvasir never said goodbye.

"I remained female for three and a half years. No one knew how to turn me back. A new advisor came to Calenture: Maelus. He had the knowledge of avatar transformation. He called for a ceremony. The ceremony was done and Ravageone was to be my avatar medium. Well, Maelus forgot some of the ceremony words and I was made male again, but he turned Ravageone into a female."
