Yep yep. And it's not like the rest of us stuck together either - Thorn and 'Keva took off on their own as well.

We kinda scattered to the wind with our own theories, huh?

You have nothing to be ashamed of, DeWar. Now, if we let you die, it's Mowgli's fault!
Incidentally, as the step-parent of a twelve-year-old, I am an Official Expert on Fault and Blame! (As long as I never blame her, and always accept the fault.)
I was always at fault and blame because I usually caused what was at fault and to blame. Believe me. I was the one to start the fights with my older brother!

Well... there is this:
[SBLOCK]Meliara was born in a small village in Mendev. Her parents went missing when she was very young and she was cared for by her Aunt in Kenabres. There was very little discussion about her parents. When Lia was old enough to start asking, her Aunt would change the subject or just leave the room. When Lia was older her powers started to manifest. She hid them from her Aunt for a while as she practiced with them. It was through her nascent powers that she discovered the secret door in the attic. There she found a chest. It took her more than a month, but eventually she was able to direct enough of her power that she melted the lock. Inside the chest she found many items of her parents, including a book that finally told her what the birthmark on her wrist meant. It is a spiral, and her Aunt had always just brushed it off and told her it was nothing. But in this book, it said it was the Sign of the Seeker’s Spiral, which was something associated with the Riftwardens.
Lia confronted her Aunt with the chest and the book. Her Aunt broke down and over the next day with lots of tea, cakes, and tears, Lia was finally told her story, or as much as her Aunt knew. Her parents were indeed Riftwardens and had left on a secret mission into the Worldwound just after she was born. They have not been heard from since. Lia also confessed about her growing powers, which caused yet more tears from her Aunt. For the next week Lia devoured every book in the trunk, from family events to texts on magic. Her Aunt was busy herself, through she didn’t tell Lia what she was doing. Her Aunt then told her she had made arrangements for her to leave. Not that she was unwanted here, but that she could no longer provide her with the direction she needed. Lia was sent off to live with her uncle who was a diplomat in an elven community some way off.
There her uncle told her more about her parents, a surprising amount and she wondered if he too was a Riftwarden. More importantly, her uncle arranged for her to become an apprentice under a local half-elf sorcerer he knew, Umbric, to help her refine, develop and control her powers.
It was during that time that she met Banaq, an elf sorcerer who was also training with Umbric. He too had lost his parents mysteriously. They spent so much time together working, that she considers him a brother.
Umbric had a pseudodragon as a familiar and that familiar had taken a mate. Part of her apprentice duties included taking care of the dragons, and their nest in the hollow of an old oak. It was one of her favorite chores and she enjoyed all her time there. It was in this way that Meliara first felt that pull to the egg. One of the eggs was calling to her. When it hatched, it spent time with its mother and also with Lia. Umbric smiled and said it seemed like she had found her familiar already, though the dragon would not be an adult for a while.
When she was not training, she often would head to the tavern and sing for a few coins to spend of her own. Her uncle told her she had her mother’s beautiful looks and voice, though there was something else, something almost unearthly about it. She certainly caused some envy among the local bards.[/SBLOCK]
We discussed it over PM's and thought we came to this conclusion? If you somehow don't agree, just let me know and I'll fix it

No that's great! I just don't think I ever knew, since I didn't read Meliara's history and stuff. Or if I did, I forgot about it. But that's still excellent! Banaq is happy to have a "family!"
But you say we discussed it in pm's so I did forget.

Lol well, I'm glad for it. Just figured they trained together for a good amount of time, considering they are both have longer lives than humans they could have been working together for many many years. Though Banaq would have seen a lot more of Lia's growth than the other way around.
