In the beginning..
Born in the dark and spooky lands now know as Duskwood, by a poor farmer and a homemaker, Venita's childhood was simple. Though she does not remember much of her parents, she does acknowledge the hard life they had and the new life they tried to provide for her. A couple years down the road, her mother bore a son by the name of Sindemo. Playing the role of big sister meant a lot to Venita and as soon as Sindemo was old enough to run around and play, they were always latched to one another. Back when the lands were lush and green, Sindemo and Venita would explore every bit of land, even crossing into areas they shouldn't. It was all part of the adventure and the chase for them as children, however, when sunset called, they were right back in their home.

Though the memories of a good start to a childhood seemed to flourish, her parents only worried more that they could not provide for their daughter. In town, they began to hear chatter of the great halls of the Stormwind Cathedral and the amazing education they offered all students, for free. Together, they talked over their options and Venita seemed to fight the perfect candidate to be a woman of faith. However, sending their daughter off would mean losing her for years to the Cathedral. While visitation was allowed, it was limited and they knew the impact it would have on their son to see his sister go. In the end, Venita's fate was decided. She would go to Stormwind, be taught and brought up to her full potential.

Venita's parents had called for the paladins and priests that were recruiting the future young scholars and within days, they were greeted by a paladin named Tomas Stonelin. On a bright and sunny day, Venita and Sindemo were laying in the grass, looking to the skies and trying to make pictures with the clouds. As they laid there, they could feel and hear the rumbling of earth. It grew louder as the rumbling drew closer to the house and the two flipped to their stomachs and peeked at the cause of the noise. Outside their home were many steeds of all colors. A few men were dressed in simple armor and one was dressed in the highest of paladin wear. Their parents seemed to greet the visitors as Venita and Sindemo watched more. They must have chatted for what felt like hours before the parents turned to their children's direction and pointed to them. The man walked over to them and stopped a few feet in front of their faces. He crotched down to be eye leveled. Radiant green eyes peered to Sindemo's dark ones and then to Venita's pure blue eyes.

There was no exchange in words before he took off back to the house. The adults chatted for more and then Venita's parents beckoned her over. As she hurried over to them, she looked to the ground and noticed a leather bag packed to the brim with clothes and various items. At the side of it was her dairy. Confused, she looked up to them. Her mother's eyes were redden with sorrow and only offered a brief hug to her daughter, as did her father. Sindemo was also confused as he began to whine and protest whatever was going on. There was no exchange in words. All that was left was Tomas standing behind the young Venita and sweeping her off her feet, strapping her to the saddle. Sindemo took off from his father's side and clung to Venita's foot. He cried and protested as the adults tried to pry him off. They finally allowed him to sit in the saddle as Venita soothed him. She whispered something into his ear and his tears seemed to lessen and vanish slowly. He whispered back and was then removed. Without further delay, Venita was transported to Stormwind.

"I promise I will come home and I will teach you everything I know."
