Impostor

(Set Before Two Necromancers, a Bureaucrat, and an Elf)

Avraniel didn’t really care if people went around killing each other, so long as they found somewhere else to do it. The last thing she needed in the little patch of forest she called home were piles of corpses everywhere. The smell would be awful, and it wouldn’t take long at all for scavengers to turn up looking for an easy meal. She wasn’t a cannibal, so joining the scavengers was out of the question, not that she could take the moral high ground. Robbery, arson, and even the occasional murder via glorious amounts of fire – she’d dabbled in a bit of everything, so she was in no position to lecture anyone.

But there were lines she didn’t cross. Contrary to common belief, she didn’t go around killing random villagers. Provided they stayed out of her way and didn’t give her any trouble, she was content to ignore them. It was kind of like how a wolf wouldn’t go out of its way to pick a fight with a bunch of ants. There simply wasn’t any point to it. Random villagers weren’t a threat, and they didn’t have anything she wanted. She also didn’t go after children. She’d been a child once, and it hadn’t been easy. An elf with fire magic like hers was weird enough to begin with, but an elf with fire magic like hers who actually enjoyed using it and had a temper to match? Other elves didn’t think she was weird. No, she was an abomination, her mere existence an insult to the ideals held by many of her so-called kin.

The first thing she’d done once she was old enough and strong enough to survive on her own was to leave. She didn’t need some stuck up bastards telling her how to live her life. She could make it just fine on her own, and if they wanted to mess with her, she’d show them how useful her magic was. She’d pitied the other kids who’d been stuck with those losers who went on and on and on about their glorious past instead of growing some damn balls and seizing the future for themselves. Well, she wasn’t like them. She didn’t live in the past. One day, everyone would know her name, and that was the way it should be. Ancestors? Who gave a damn about them? Their deeds were their own. If someone wanted to be great, they needed to stop talking about people who’d been dead for centuries and actually do something for themselves.

Avraniel was content to leave random villagers alone, but she would happily roast entire groups of bandits without a second thought. The way she saw it, fair was fair. If bandits were willing to rob and kill people, they had to be prepared for someone stronger to rob and kill them. It was all part of the circle of life. Their mistake was thinking they were at the top of the food chain.
