Here is some important background information. Please read it:
Daireck was court wizard to Abandi & Ryogen’s parents, using a false name and appearance. He convinced them that a neigbooring kingdom was going to attack to steal a precious family heirloom. He convinces the parents to let him hide the heirloom- a powerful sword called the “thorn of Grygus” within their children. They took the sword apart and stored the hilt within Ryogen, who was six years old at the time and the blade in Abandi, who was only one year old.</SPAN></SPAN>
Daireck waited a couple months-to test how the magical transfusion affected the children. When satisfied, he planned a staged attack, killing their parents. Ryogen happened to walk in, witnessing their murders and attacking Daireck, who was in his true form. Ryogen lost his arm in the one sided fight and was left to die as Daireck ran away. Though he fled, Daireck continued watching them for years, even when they were forced to leave the castle. </SPAN></SPAN>
Abandi and Ryogen were forced to leave the castle because of Abandi’s destructive magic, leveling their childhood home without meaning too. Ryogen took Abandi and fled, not wanting his only sister to be persecuted for the destruction of their home. After they left, their kingdom thought them dead, mourning their deaths.</SPAN></SPAN>
Ryogen raises his sister on his own and as Abandi grows older, her power grows unstable and she starts leaking magic in dangerous explosions. Ryogen is forced to move them from town to town.</SPAN></SPAN>
Ryogen is unknowingly suppressing his sisters true self, believing her power is evil. Abandi creates an illusion based on Ryogen’s treasured memories of herself before the influence of her magic.</SPAN></SPAN>
As time passes, Abandi is more and more aware of her true self, except not recognizing herself as the true personality. She thinks her true self-the voice inside her head-is a demon because of her brothers beliefs.</SPAN></SPAN>
When Ryogen is asleep of unconscious, the true Abandi can come out and explore the world briefly before being pushed back into the depths of her own mind.
</SPAN>Daireck. The main bad guy, has the power to control Artifacts- including Abandi (Since the Blade of Grygus’ Thorn is embued within her body)</SPAN></SPAN>
Daireck is the one who abducts Abandi when they go to Rondanae city. After he is done “Adjusting” her, she can no longer break her illusion unless absolutely necessary to her Survival.</SPAN></SPAN>
