Background

Sister to Kurohyou. She left her family at the age of 20 and went to the realm of Sandalak, within the war-striken South-East continent. She decided that she could gain some experience in battle, just to prove her younger, more arrogant brother, that she has better skills than he does.

The Struggle

When Hei had first joined those of the Dark Griffon, she noticed that when she signed up for the army, the recruiter had asked about a few of her family's past records. She didn't know what the recruiter was talking about, and insisted that she see what he was talking about.

She looked at the paper and saw that what the man was referring to was her cousin, Sonma and her second-cousin, Datarian. Whatever confidence she had was quickly dropping. She was quickly thinking of what to say to these accusations, but before she knew it the man gave her the requested forms to join. ~Oh my god..that was a close one -_- Now I need to make-up for their blunders...~

Love

As Hei had been gaining respect from her superiors, she had also been developing a relationship with one of her commanding troops, Sir Oki Soujiro. When everyone else was busy drinking and having a merry time, they were out by the forest, alongside the river, talking about life, politics, all that good stuff that many people talk about. As the two got to know more of each other the more it was for them to be separated. Everywhere you saw Sandalak troops move, you'd see that those two were alongside one another.

Lost in Darkness

On the morning there was a battle that was supposed to be taken at Endelee, Hei and her men were ready. During the battle, Hei was struck by an enemies arrow. It had caused her to fall unconscious. She then had a dream that she had a difficult time grasping.

~She was standing in a field of cherry blossoms. The smell was invigurating...but in an instant all the petals went up in flames. She tried to turn around and run, but what appeared before her was something she never would've thought possible. The Dark Griffon had appeared before her and glared into her eyes.~

"My child, someone of great importance to you has been taken by the darkness. In return for his lost soul, I shall give to you a gift that you shall carry as a memory of him."

Then she woke up. She was within the contents of a healing tent and saw that her nurse, Iyu, and her scribe had been sitting by her side. She tried to sit up, but both urged her to lay down. She asked what had happen and where Sir Oki was.

"M'lady, Oki Soujiro was cornered in an alley within Endelee trying to get you to safety. We were able to escape, while he fought them off, but he was struck down. We recovered the body and hoped that you would do the ceremonies. It was too painful for us to-"

Both Iyu and the young scribe saw that Hei had made her way to where the body was held, and was kneeling before him. She had shed tears before him and said into his ear.

"I'm sorry, Oki. I should've been there alongside you my love. I'm...so...sorry." Then her words were turned into sobs of sorrow.

The Gift?

Hei had set up an altar of wood near the river. She wanted to make sure that Oki's body would be returned to the Earth that gave him life. She then brought his body out and placed it onto the pile. Just seeing that her first true love lying before her as lifeless as he was..it was too painful. Then she opened up a bottle of ale and poured it over the wood, as well as in two cups for her and Oki. She placed Oki's cup onto his chest and then lit the pile. The flame had completely engulfed Oki and Hei quietly sat closeby, saying a prayer, and then drinking her cup.

While the ceremonies were taking place, a young wolf came along and sat alongside her, giving Hei some comfort.She then looked at the wolf and noticed that he howled before the flame, as if showing his respect to Oki. She then had a feeling that this was the "gift" that the Griffon would send her. Hei then looked over to the wolf and said to him,

"Would you like to accompany me with my journies, little one?"

The pup gave what appeared to be a nod and Hei gave him the title of Oki-chan.

Journey towards Sirion

After aiding Sandalak guarentee a victory on the South East Islands, she decided to move one and look for a new life. So while in her tent preparing to head towards the closest port, she had a map of the known islands and which ones that the Bakos family has never seen before. Out of all of them, the East Continent was the only island never seen by any Bakos family members. So that was where she had set her eyes on.

As she was making her way across the blue sea, she had made discussions with some of the other travellers who for the most part had been on the island before. They said that it was worth heading toward. As fascinated as Hei was, she couldn't figure out where to set up her new home. Then as she was thinking of this, one of the travellers she talked to actually told her of a land that has had a history of an Elven society.

"It is the realm of Sirion...the peacemakers of the island."

---

As the boat had made it to the East Continent, Hei could see the beauty being given off by the island itself.

Then as she departed off of the boat, she could see that she ended up within the capital of Sirion. She took a look around and said to herself that the travellers were correct about Sirion. Then she made her way to the recruitment center to enlist in the army in order to properly serve Sirion and its people.
