  +The Kingdom
  -Silen and the King wed.
  -She has a child, son.
  -Dark wizard finds where she is and finds his way into the castle, pretending to be a servant with an illusion to change his appearance.
  -The Dark wizard uses magic to manipulate the minds of the King's loyalists and people who are around him in the castle, into thinking that he was a terrible ruler.
  -Two years later, at night, the 'loyalists' finally revolt against him and kill the King and the Son.
  -The Dark Wizard saves Silen just in time, telling her that his 'spies' told him that the 'loyalists' were plotting to carry their plan of killing the entire royal family. He didn't recieve this information soon enough for him to be able to stop what had happened to the King and her son.
  
  +The Corruption
  -He takes her to an abandoned castle that the raiders had conquored years ago.
  -Silen is completely heart broken, it takes months before she finally speaks, and eats willingly.
  -The dark wizard gets into her head, seeding the idea of revenage; in order to get closer to her, he offers to teach her
  the ways of Enchantment Magic.
  -Over time, her hatred consumes her; with focus, she is able to learn the magic very smoothly.
  
  +The Layers of Hell
  -Silen crosses over to the plane of hell in order to collect ingredients, and other powerful items.
  -She gets to the third layer, but stops because it had been a few days, where that was a few months back in her own world.
  -She returns to the castle being in ruins from being set on fire and the burnt corpse of the Dark Wizard as well. It's raining when she arrives.
  -More rage consumes her as she had become close to the Dark Wizard, he was the only one that she trusted, now she was alone.
  
  +The Ritual
  -Through years of training with the Dark Wizard, she knew she could gain half of his power/prowness by consuming his esscense.
  -She became even more powerful and tracks down who attacked the castle while she was in Hell; who were in fact the group of raiders he had aided.
  -They wanted his help and come with them to travel again, but he refused them, because he was waiting for Silen to return.
  -They did not accept this excused and locked the entire building down and burned him alive in it.
  -He couldn't escape because Silen was using his only source of escape.
  
  +Hell hath no Fury Like a Woman's Wrath
  -From her journey through hell, she had brought back a book that had the names of demons she had acquired.
  -She summons a demon, making a deal to never being able to die until every last person who plotted the death of her child and husband, was dead.
  -In exchange she would not only give her soul, but supply the souls of more people to the demon.
  -Two kickers here and another one that I won't reveal until later. the dark wizard is appart of her because she took in his essence; second, the demon knows that the Dark Wizard was the one who pulled all the strings, but doesn't tell her so that he could have a constant supply of souls. The only way she can die, is if she kills herself.
  
  +Time Waits For No One
  -She plots and slaughters all of the loyalists she was aware who was involved in the plot.
  -For a while the loyalists tell her about this 'one servant', telling them lies why the king is evil.
  -Silen moves from killing nobles, to almost everyone now, trying to find the servant.
  -It's been 30 years, her body is wasting away from the dangerous types of enchantment magic she uses, and the constant battles.
  - Well, she is a very old lady at this point, she wasn't expecting to even live this long, surely she thought she would have killed the last.
  
  +What's Done is Done
  -Remember that kicker I said I would mention later? She tries to to summon the demon so she can try and find out who the last person is; but he doesn't have to come because the deal was still in a pending process. -cough-
  -She tries to summon another demon, but because she is locked in a on going deal, she is unable to do it.
  
  +Abandon All Yee Hope
  -She returns to the castle of the Dark Wizard, begins to study illusionary magic.
  -She places a spell over the castle to make it appear like a quicksand swamp.
  -Those who are brave and foolish to enter, fall into a trap, Silen drains their life essence to keep her energized with power.
  -After she does this, she sacrifices them to the demon, hoping he would appear.
  -A century goes by, the demon never comes, and people stop trying to cross the 'quicksand'.
  -She collects the magic esscense of the illusion spell, and magical items she can break down into 'energy' to keep up an illsion spell on her true appearance, which is is a skeleton.
