Hmm... I'm thinking of a different story for Eleshna.... Tell me which one you like better ^^
Eleshna was born in a small elven village, and remained there until the village was distroyed, her parents killed. A strange man who had been visiting the village rescued the young Eleshna, leaving her as one of the very few survivors, and led her far away, tending the wounds she recieved during the attack. He told her his name was Nasar, and that he was a guardian of sorts, and could teach her how to fend for herself and live in the wild with no assistance. Nasar had strange powers, which fascinated Eleshna, and she became drawn to learning from the strange elf. Before he could accept her as a student, he made her swear an oath, under pain and blood, which bound her services to him, her pain being his pain and his pain being her pain. She had a taste of what she would be going through in the coming years, but she was still yet young and continued on.
After several years, Nasar had taught Eleshna how to read several langauges, even ancient unknown ones, and he had also trained her in the skill of sword and bow, as well as tracking, stalking, and basically hunting. He would send her on missions, to assasinate certain people or hunt them down and take them to certain destinations, and told her he could end her life in an instant if ever once he found out she had failed him. She became a ruthless hunter, and hid all her emotion, but deep within she longed to be free of Nasar.
When Eleshna had gained his full trust, Nasar handed to her the control of Shadows, spirits of lost warriors, deadly and fearsome, along with a blade which protected the wielder from the Shadows. Eleshna discovered that these Shadows had the ability to come between the strongest of bonds, and prevent any harm from coming to her if she wanted to escape Nasar's control for a while. The freedom became addictive and she decided to leave permanently. She confronted Nasar, and after a breif battle, used the Shadows to hold him back while she made a run for it. Eleshna never turned back, and remained hidden and on the run, joining various groups now and then, playing the role of a common elf.
After a while, Eleshna came to believe that the Shadows had ended the master's reign, and she became more easy going. She used her Shadows now and then if she were in tight with enemy, though she regreted it, since many a times it took the life of the companions who would be with her at the time. She grew into the habit of refusing to get to know those she traveled with, so if ever there came a time if they died, she would not feel so great a loss. This was what she had been trained to do, and she hated doing it, but she saw no other choice.
