A Brighter Future?, The story of Tara Willow. Options

[Tábrasa]

Hello! I'll start by introducing myself.

My name is Tábrasa and I'm new to the forums. I've been silently looking at some of the stories on the forums and have felt truly inspired.
Therefore I have decided to start the story of my Breton Wiccan, Tara Willow, who I've been travelling with for the past year. Below is an introduction to Tara, which will soon be followed by the Prologue...

INTRODUCTION TO TARA WILLOW

Tara Willow is a 20 year old female Breton born on the 14th of Rain's Hand, 3E 413.

She is primarily a Conjurer but also dabbles in Destruction and Illusion. She is also handy with a blade in certain situations.

Her father died when she was a teenager and her mother resides somewhere in Cyrodiil, under a new name following events in High Rock that led her to abandon Tara as an infant.

Tara's father was a man obsessed with the art of Mysticism; but in the wrong kind of way. He wanted to experiment the thought of finding a way to turn the human body itself into a soul gem; an experment not only ridiculed, but dangerous.

One day, however, he managed to succeed in his experiment; using a teenage Tara as his unwilling test subject. He managed to trap a spirit withing Tara's body, leaving her in an unusual state.

Tara now has to permanantly live with an extra spirit inside her, who she named Willow, after her surname.
Willow is able to communicate with Tara and take control of her body for brief periods; but only when Tara desperatly need's her assistance. However, Willow's possesions are almost NEVER a good thing.

Currently Tara is on a mission to find her mother, mainly for her own piece of mind. All she knows is that she is in Cyrodiil, but nothing else. The only thing she has to offer any aid in her quest is the memory of her mothers face...

Now we are getting some answers. Including why Jada did not take Tara with her when she dumped Riccard. He is quite the controlling bastich. I take it he is from the Willow bloodline, not Jada?

And now we know that 19 is the magic age. How good to see that Jada at least left some insurance with Aleksander. But now that Tara is 19 (in the present) that makes a big

Those were simply failed experiments who I managed to deposit souls into, but didn’t survive the ordeal. I have stored them until I find time to extract the souls back out again. That would be a terrible waste, otherwise.
This is so creepy on so many levels. Not in the least because here we see what it is store for Tara! Let us just hope that her Willow blood is all that dear old dad believes it to be.

All around, a very neat episode, with both dashes of the past to fill in the gaps in our understanding, as well as a continuance with the storyline in the present.



nits:
Her struggling to escapes was inevitable futile.
I understand what you meant here, but I think you may have had some words from a leftover edit in the end here?

She could slowly feel the blood drain from her face in fright
Your period at the end ran out on Tara. I do not blame it in the least, under the circumstances!

You are going to {be} a great thing
Did you perhaps was a be where I inserted it above?
