The Story
Long ago, when the world was young, the earth, Septerra, was divided into three continents...
Tanimura, an uncivilized, yet peaceful, continent ruled by savages called, the Majendie.
D'hara, a once beautiful land that had been torn asunder by tyranny.
And, Aydindril, a gorgeous, radiant land that lived in peace and harmony.
In these continents, resided ancient magical artifacts of power. 'Runes', as the were called, were small orb-like stones that fused into their owner's hand. At first, these 'runes' were used only for tasks of everday life, but were, over time, abused and used for evil deeds such as murder.
Among these runes, were eight special runes that had more power than usual. They were called, the 'True Runes'. They consisted of: the 'True Fire Rune', the 'True Water Rune', the 'True Earth Rune', the 'True Wind Rune', the 'True Ice Rune', the 'True Air Rune', the 'True Light Rune', and the 'True Dark Rune'.
The eight 'True Runes' were posessed by a group of people called the 'Chosen'. The 'Chosen' were a small clan of men and women that wanted nothing but peace in the world. Except for one. His name was Darken Rahl. This specific man, posesser of the 'True Dark Rune' desired nothing but death and destruction, though hid these feelings from the others, leading them to believe he could be trusted.
As years passed, Septerra broke out into a massive war. People were using their runes to plague the world with their evil ways. The 'Chosen' were strong, but they could not handle the power of the other millions of runes, and came to the conclusion of an 'ultimate' rune.
The prophecies foretold the creation of a rune that contained the powers of all the 'True Runes' in one. It was called, the 'Divine Rune'. It was said that "the one who posessed the 'Divine Rune' would gain infinite knowledge."
When Darken Rahl heard this, he lusted for power even more than before. His plan was to wait until the 'Divine Rune' was forged and then steal it. One day, after the 'Divine Rune' was created, during a meeting in which all the 'Chosen' gathered together, Darken Rahl unleashed the power of his rune amongst the others, killing them all.
Little did Darken Rahl know, the other seven 'Chosen' had forseen this happening and had already sealed away the 'Divine Rune' along with their 'True Runes'. When Darken Rahl learned this, he became furious, and seeing that he was the only one with a 'True Rune' left, he conquered D'hara.
Years went by, and still, Darken Rahl had no luck in finding the 'Divine Rune' or any of the other seven 'True Runes'. Eventually he died and his rule was passed onto his lineage.
Now, hundreds of years later, one of Darken Rahl's decendants, Lunaris Rahl, once again seeks the power of the 'Divine Rune'...
One day, a traveling merchant by the name of Morhk Amnell rode through the Vangledesh Mountains in Aydindril on a journey to restock his supplies. As his horse and carriage made their way through the dark, gloomy caverns, a small rodent scurried in front of the horses, sending Morhk off the edge and into a small opening in the cavern floor.
There, he found a large room with incsriptions all over the walls. As curious as Morhk was, he could not pass up the chance make some money off of it. He studied the wall for hours. Intrigued by the mysterious heiroglyphics, he stumbled across a handprint in the wall. When he put his hand to it, a bright light engulfed the room and sent Morhk a vision.
In this vision, Morhk saw the 'Chosen' and was told that what was about to happen now would change the world of Septerra forever. With that, they handed over to Morhk the one thing that could bring the world salvation. The 'Divine Rune'. They informed him of what was to come, including his own death. The 'Chosen' gave Morhk a mission. A mission to protect the 'Divine Rune'...
Years later, the cavern of the 'Chosen' was discovered by Lunaris Rahl and his men. Lunaris Rahl immediately had his most experienced scholars translate the strange markings in the walls. When they came to the conclusion that someone had already been there, Lunaris grew angry. Upon further inspection, his men discovered the remains of Morhk Amenll's carriage. With this set in mind, Lunaris Rahl began his search for the unfortunate merchant.
Morhk went about his life as any other person would do. He got married, had a child, and bought a house to live in. It seemed like he had a normal everyday life. But he didn't. He had one thing that made him different from everyone else. He knew where the 'Divine Rune' was.
When Morhk heard the horrid scream from his just-recently murdered wife, he knew it was time. As Lunaris' men trampled through his house, Morhk had only a few minutes to decide what to do. Reaching for his treasure trunk and unlocking it, he retrieved the 'Divine Rune'. Seconds were left and Morhk had made his decision. This very decision was probably the last and most important decision he would ever make.
As the guards battered down the door and stuck their swords into Morhk's gut, all he could do was smile. His last words were..."my daughter lives on..."
Through the the 'Divine Rune' in her right hand, and help of her newly-attained allies, she will give it her best to stop Lunaris Rahl and his evil minions from corrupting the world of Septerra. This is her story...

Kahlan did what she had been doing for the past seventeen years. Running. Ever since her father had fused this 'cursed' rune into her right hand when she was nothing but a toddler, she had been running. Though she didn't know why. Why was she so special? What made her different? She had grown up on the streets and learned the tricks to surviving. "Well," she thought. "I guess I must be doing a pretty good job if I am still alive!" It made her laugh. She looked over her shoulder.
Good, they're gone...
Or so she thought. As Kahlan turned back around, a soldier had the tip of his sword pointed directly at her forehead. "Great," she thought. "Now I have to fight my way out!" The soldier smiled.
Halt! Hand over the rune and you will not be harmed!
Kahlan smirked. Her father had told her never to let anyone know about her rune.
Like that is ever going to happen!
Kahlan jumped in the air, kicked the sword out of his hands, and quickly uppercutted him in the jaw. Landing perfectly on her feet, she brought her hand up to guard the soldier's weak attempt of a deathblow. With her other hand (the one with the rune on it) she reached to her belt and unsheathed her dagger, then brought it up right through his chest, killing him instantly. Kahlan frantically looked around. No more soldiers. Then, as quickly as she came, she disappeared.

Name: Konrad
Age: 9
Rune: Dark Rune
Nation: Aydindril
Bio: Konrad was born on the streets, and has lived there his whole life. He doesn't know he has a rune (which is on a necklace his mother gave him), only that he's been incredible lucky on the streets. And that he is a really good purse snatcher. He's worked the crowds that hang out the market area, and has been practicing his skills for the last few years. Konrad's mother is one the woman of "questinable virtue" and his father was a successful theif...was being the key word.
(assuming this is acceptable, the following post will carry on the story)
Konrad sat in the darkness, his eyes wide as he watched the young woman make short work of the soldier. He wasn't close enough to hear what they had said, but he knew the girl was an amazing fighter. He'd always been impressed by the skill of the older men, but this woman was even more skilled then they were...and she was so much smaller than most of the men he'd seen fighting. Lost in his thoughts he almost missed her leaving the scene. He followed behind her, impressed by the skill she had shown, and hoping to see more.

Kahlan wasn't stupid. She could sense the presence of the boy following behind her, but thought nothing of it. She whispered under her breath.
((i am referring to you Amnistar//Konrad))
As long as he stays where he is and doesn't mess with me, it'll be fine.
As Kahlan made her way through the city's dark alleyways, she noticed the putrid scent of rotting flesh. "Great..." she thought. "Orsk is here..." Orsk was what you could call a 'bounty-hunter'. He was a Majendie from Tanimura that was about 7'2 and had the figure of 5 men put together. She had dealt with him before, but was not in the mood to fight him at this moment. All she wanted was to get back to her hide-away and take a bath, but that obviously wasn't going to be anytime soon. Not with Orsk, anyway.
You can come out now Orsk!
A giant figure appeared from the shadows. It spoke.
Ha ha, good job girl...you are now able to sense when I am near!
Kahlan back-sassed him.
Actually, Orsk, I just knew you were here because of your rank odor!
Very funny...but do you see me laughing?
Kahlan sighed.
Orsk, just give up already! You know I'm too good for you!
He smirked.
On the contrary young one! I am not alone! Men...Attack!
Upon his command, several armed soldiers appeared from nowhere, dawning their blades and battle-axes. They immediately charged Kahlan, shouting war cries as they attacked her.
I don't have time for this!
Once again, she unsheathed her dagger and took up a battle stance. Two of the men, armed from head-to-toe in heavy amor, swung their axes wildly, trying their best to mame an arm or leg. Due to their armor though, they were slow, giving Kahlan the chance to dodge the blows and roll by them, splitting their ankles with her dagger. With those two out of the way, the other three followed in pursuit lunging at Kahlan and forcing her to the ground with a "thud". As she was being held down, struggling to get away, Orsk approached her.
Well, well, little one...its seems I have finally got you...
Kahlan could still feel the presence of the boy following her.
I could use some help here!

Konrad watched the fight with a great deal of excitement, but the turn of the tides made him cringe in fear. Not sure of what to do, he grabbed one of the rocks from the ground and tossed it at the hulking man who was holding Kahlan down. The rocked boucned of Orsk's head, not causing a whole lot of damage, but momentarily distracting him from his prey.
"Let her go!" Konrad said in his best imitation of the brave men he'd admired for so long.

In the split second the rock hit Orsk's head, Kahlan took that opportunity to retaliate. She quickly headbutted the nearest soldier, and kicked the other two in the groin. As stunned as he was, Orsk attempted to sock Kahlan in the face, but was cut off by an unexpected punch to the gut. Kahlan wasn't neccessarily physically strong, but her agility made it easier to get more hits in. Orsk tumbled backwards, recovering from the lethal blow.
Hurry! We must get away from here!
Kahlan ran as fast as she could, grabbing hold of the little boy's hand and leading him and herself out of the dangerous territory. Finally, when Kahlan couldn't smell the horrible odor anymore, they stopped. She turned to Konrad.
Thank you young one....I wasn't sure if I would make it out of that alive!
She looked around again.
By the way, my name is Kahlan...What's your's?

The boy looked up at Kohlan his eyes wide, showing how impressed he was with her. "My name's Konrad. Gee lady, you're pretty strong." He smiles a really big smile, "And I like you!" He suddenly reaches out and gives Kahlan a hug, wraping his arms around her...well...leg.

Kahlan did something she hadn't done in a long time...she laughed. Well, it was more like a giggle. She bent down and looked the boy in the eyes.
You are a very brave little boy. It took a lot of courage to throw a rock at one of Septerra's strongest bounty-hunters.
She smiled.
Well then...I guess we better get you home...Where do you live Konrad?

Konrad looked up at her. "I live outside the Rosey Cheeks." He smiled at her, "But you don't have to take me home. Mom won't mind if I'm late. She's probably working now anyway." Konrad's smile gets even bigger, "so where did you learn to fight like that? Huh huh? And can you teach me? And why are they fighting you? And where are you from? And do you like me?" The child's torrent of questions just keeps comming.

Kahlan was overwhelmed.
Whoa there hun! Slow down! I have only one mouth to answer with!
She gave him a sincere smile.
Well, nobody really taught me to fight...I just learned from experience. I grew up on these streets (Aydindril) just like you! And about why they were chasing me, I do not know. I'm guessing they are after this 'useless' rune.
She showed him the milky-white orb fused in her hand.
