deird1Suppose there's a Dark Mage. He takes a five year old girl as his apprentice, because she has innate ability. But he's not interested in teaching her to use her abilities wisely - more in getting as much raw power out of her as he can. He mistreats her, exploits her, and eventually discards her.
Then, the sixteen year old ex-apprentice (somewhat used to tripping out on magic, with a history of doing some quite nasty stuff that hurt people) is left to starve on the streets, with a heck of a lot of mental scarring. And she is found by another man, a weaver by trade, who takes her in, cares for her, and teaches her to weave. She grows up, moves on, and has a happy life.
...and that's the prologue.
Our story begins when a 30 year old woman - professional weaver, and mother of three - realises that the Dark Mage has been growing in power. And that she is exactly who the world needs to stop him.
