Behold mortals, and quake in fear at the sight of  TEPHRA<img src="http://www.members.shaw.ca/PanzerGeist/tefla.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />In the time of the great "War of the Titans", the being known as Tephra was created. Kronus, the true King of the Titans, was sorely besieged by his brother Hyperion the Usurper. King Kronus' arch magician Phaeton saw that Kronus' plight was dire. The loyal Stantella-Bor fire elementals were no match for the battle crazed Earth elementals from Hyperion's army. Slowly Hyperion's forces advanced upon the King's stronghold. It was in this moment of desperation that Phaeton conceived a plan. He would use his magic to meld a fire elemental and an earth elemental into one super-powerful elemental capable of fighting back more effectively against the Usurper's army With the help of his loyal assistant and lover, a Stantella-Bor fire elemental, Phaeton captured a scout from Hyperion's army, a death elemental. Unable to proceed with his magic in the midst of the warring factions, Phaeton, the Stantella-Bor, and the subdued earth elemental snuck through the vanguard of Hyperion's army, and flew to the relative safety and privacy of the mountain Stantella itself. There, partially within the crater of the smoking volcano Phaeton began to call on his magic. The self sacrificing fire elemental and the angry earth elemental began to meld. Tragically, Hyperion had suspected that Phaeton might try to use his magic on behalf of Kronus, and had assigned one of his minions to keep watch on Phaeton. The Henchman had followed the trio to the lip of the volcano and was watching as Phaeton worked his magic. Afraid of what might happen should Phaeton complete his spell, the Henchman took careful aim and skewered Phaeton through the heart with a spear at the very climax of the spellcasting. Phaeton was thrown back from the force of the blow, tumbling into the partially melded elementals and causing them to all fall into the molten heart of the mountain. Satisfied that his actions had eradicated the threat to Hyperion, the Henchman left to rejoin the troops attacking King Kronus. So it was that no one was witness to what happened next. Unbeknownst to the Henchman, killing Phaeton had not diffused the spell at all. In fact, Phaeton's death throes had imbibed the magic with unprecedented force and power. Out of the churning molten mass at the center of the volcano a form began to emerge. An anthropomorphic blob of white-hot sentient magma separated itself from the pool bubbling in the crater and proceeded to crawl to the lip of the volcano eventually cooling into an black obsidian female humanoid form with flaming hair and eyes the colour of death. A combination of fire elemental, earth elemental, Phaeton, and unexpectedly the soul of the volcano Stantella itself, Tephra (the scientific name for debris expelled from a volcano) was born. Driven by a compulsion (the unswerving loyalty of Phaeton to King Kronus), Tephra tracked The Monarch down and freed him from his imprisonment by the Africorp. * Note: Tephra being created from non human sources has absolutely no reverence or interest in human life, and since being in part-volcano, is not known for her restraint.</blockquote>
