Alitta
n8zuu@home.com

What is mightier than the dragon?
To what could we compare?
Is there one so powerful
To share in this beast’s lair?

With intellect, compassion
Defiance and might
She’s chivalrous and powerful
Full of strength and of fight.

           She’s sleek and strong and agile
Breaths fire hot as hell
She’ll curl up like a baby
And snooze when all is well.

To some she’s good, to some she’s bad
They never really know
Do they trust or do they kill her?
Is she friend or foe?

A creature from Mythology
This surely can’t be true.
When you are watching out for her
She’s watching over you

 

Many ages ago, to many to remember by human standards, Alitta was ‘born’to a mighty wyrm in the realm of Britannia.  Her life was uneventful (For one of Dragon-kind), so we will skip the early millennium.

We begin her story about thirty seasons past, when she was ill from a rare illness that only affects one of dragon blood.  As Close to death as she was, a bad turn of events happened.  Several evil warriors and hunters looking for a easy kill to boast about as a might battle found her lair. Alitta was in no condition to defend her self, and would have perished if not for a wandering magi in mountains near her.  Hearing the turmoil, the wizard Sarrak when to investigate, and found the source of the noise.  Seeing the ruffians attempting to slay the creature, he dispatched them with his magic, and a one or two good whacks with his staff. After the battle, the magi turn to Alitta, and gave her one of his scowls, and said “How then.. What do we have here? “   Not knowing what to make of him, she backed away as Sarrak approached her, but only to find that the sage was kindly, and began to patch her wounds, and the cure her of the blood fire.

Since then, Alitta and Sarrak have had a wizard / familiar friendship, thou she is not a "true" familiar. She is free to come and go as she wishes, thou she is almost always within earshot of Sarrak, and his magic’s. They are good friends, but to some, it appears they are bitter enemies due to the arguing and fighting “In-jest” they engage in with each other.

With Sarrak searching the lands of Norrath, Alitta has venture to Albion to aid her friend

in his search for Starla, his kidnapped twin sister.   But traveling to the realm of Camelot is not a safe thing for one of Dragon Kind, so she has takening the form of a young lady following the Church of Albion as a Cleric.

General:

 

Alitta is an ancient wyrm (Age unknown).  When traveling without Sarrak, she takes the form of a human maiden for her protection from over zealous hunters.  When Sarrak healed her from the Blood Fire that almost killed her, she began to follow the ways of a healer, and is now an accomplished Cleric. 

 

Enemies: 

 

When she is her natural form, she is feared by most, (Hey - She’s a very large dragon) so most bounty hunters want her hide. When in her guise of a human, none.

Trades: 

Alitta is a master at metal working, and can create some masterful armor, and some weapons.
