It had been seventeen years since Semiramis was born in the fallen Kingdom of Izalith and the Demonic Ruins. She was conceived to Queen Quelaag and High Emperor Etherus Darksoul but upon her conception, her father was sucked away like water circling a drain from the realm and returned to his own time and Kingdom. During her time developing she had absorbed her mother's traits and her fathers, making her a hybrid of the two, Etherus being a pure blood elven divinity while her mother Quelaag who was originally fully human body and all was now demonic arachnid. Semiramis was born on April 22 and raised to someday take her mother's place as Queen.

She also spent much time with her Aunt Quelaan who was fragile and required her mother to supply her with humanity to stay fed and alive. This task fell also upon Semiramis, who over the years had constantly asked about her father. She could sense the pain it brought her mother to speak of him, but she wanted to know about the man her mother claimed as her soul mate and part of her felt that it would remind her mother of the time spent with him, all the amazing times they shared and it was because of that, her mother began looking for ways to find him or be transported as he had. 

Time in the Ruins and Kingdom worked differently to some it had only been a brief time but to her and her mother it had been hundreds of years since her father had been aiding her mother before falling for her and marrying her in the cathedral with loyal servants deformed but still retaining some sanity attended. They had many years together in a happy marriage and bond so strong that nothing seemed capable of breaking it.

But then as soon as Semiramis had her first heartbeat in her mother's womb, that was when he was torn away and banished from the realm with her mother helpless to stop it. Every night her mother would tell her stories of ways her father had helped her grandmother and her aunts, how he could be compassionate or cold depending on the situation. Something her mother also shared, and they both passed to their daughter. After searching for a way to find her husband, Quelaag finally found an ancient and lost tome written by him with a spell he had been working on.

Leaving her daughter in charge of the Kingdom and her subjects as well as her grandmother and aunts, Quelaag used the magic and was able to transport to a new realm, a new world she had never been to before. Upon finding her husband and spending some much needed one on one time he told her of an engagement, and he asked her to attend. She agreed on the one condition that she bring their daughter. 

Once she was given permission to retrieve Semiramis, she used the same magic and pulled her daughter from the other realm and into the new one. Semiramis was shocked and in awe of everything around her, green and thriving plants with life sources not being taken or draining from them. She had never seen a sky before, so the soft blue scattered with puffs of white almost blinded her some as the sun shined making her eyes adjust from the dark desolate realm she was born in, to this one.

Her and her mother had gotten ready and were heading to the wedding of her father and his two brides but before they did so, Semiramis was worried and anxious. “Do you think he will like me? What if he hates me? What if he does not want me around at all? I mean I am almost eighteen and he has missed so much of my life how do you know he will still want to be a part of it?” She frowned as her mother gave a sympathetic smile and brushed a strand of hair from her face.

“Have you forgotten all I told you about him? He loves his family fiercely and if I know him, he will probably want to make up for lost time after all you are his only child with me, and I am sure it caused him pain when he found out you were born, and he could not be there. He will love you unconditionally my dear, now come let us go,” 

She gave a nod and off they went dressed in casual attire as they did not have many clothes for special occasions such as this but still managed. As they entered where the other family members where, she was introduced to her father and at the time he embraced her she wanted to cry for she had waited so long to see him. She held back the tears and smiled. “Hello papa.” She spoke after the hug, and she was shuffled away to watch the ceremony. It seemed to take forever but that was time working against her internal clock from her realm and once all was completed, she attended the reception and sat in the back at a table alone just observing.

Her mother came over and smiled to her. “Why not dance? Mingle my dear.” But Semiramis shook her head shyly. “I am still getting used to things.” Her mother nodded understanding as she too was overwhelmed at first. “Well tonight you can explore the lands, I shall give you a gem that will take you to your father's home when you have explored enough. Then we can discuss how we will live here and still take care of Izalith.” She kissed her daughter's forehead and shooed her away.

“Go have fun, take in what this realm has to offer, dance in the moonlight, feel the grass beneath your bare feet. Breathe in fresh air. Go my little one and enjoy the simple pleasures offered here.” And with that Semiramis snuck away and disappeared into the woods to begin her journey.
