RebirthThis something new I started on and am going to write bits at a time. The sizes will vary.This story deals with what happens to Sola after
ToB during this epilogue. But with a couple a twists and new characters. Because Solaufein didn?t do this alone. Enjoy.
~Eventually parting ways with his companions, Solaufein continued in the service of Eilistraee Silverhair as he struggled to find a place among the surface dwellers. He travelled from town to town, but more often than not he was cast out because of his obvious Drow heritage. Solaufein eventually decided to forsake the idea of an open-armed integration with the surfacers and spent a time travelling across the realms and battling foes. He hunted dragons deep in Calimshan and freed the High Forest of a dangerously large troll infestation. Demons, Illithid and would-be evil overlords alike came to fear him, for his might and magic were both honed razor-sharp. But although his blade never missed the mark he began to feel as though he had lost his way. His soul was not that of a wandering crusader: he could not find contentment in his graceful dismantling of tactical challenges. He became despondent and fell into a brooding melancholy. He even attempted to seek out Drizzt Do'urden in order to question him about the place of a compassionate Drow on the surface world. It was when he had almost given up hope that his luck turned. On the borders of Anauroch, the great desert, he heard one night the familiar chants of praise to Eilistraee coming from across a rocky outcrop. There he found a small village of Drow who had chosen to abandon their homeland for the surface. Choosing to remain with them for a time, he helped found the first known Drow settlement on the surface, even gaining a few trade agreements with nearby villages. On the site where he first found his new family dancing under the moonlight, they constructed a great temple to Eilistraee, to thank her for guiding them and bringing them such fortune. In the following years Solaufein defended the settlement against many attacks, from the regular orc raids, to the occasional attacks of adventuring parties. In the defense of those dear to him that he found his heart and blade singing as one. Despite this, Solaufein found that he was even an outcast among his own kind. Those under his care could never quite understand what he had been through to get to this point, could never quite understand the pain in his heart as he gazed up through the night sky at his hard-won Moon. When he was certain that his settlement would thrive without his presence, Solaufein once again left to wander. Those with him at the time report his last words as: "The error of youth is to believe that intelligence is a substitute for experience, while the error of age is to believe experience is a substitute for intelligence.

Chap.1 I walked down the cobbled street keeping my eyes to the ground. I continued to walk forward eyes set on the street, until I felt someone bump into me. He was about to cut my purse when I grabbed his wrist and pinned it behind his back. The cutpurse tried to reach for the dagger he had hidden on him. But I was the quicker draw. I brought the dagger blade up to his neck ready to cut his throat if need be. ?I wouldn?t suggest on reaching for that dagger. It would be?hazardous to your health.? I threatened not showing the slightest tint of emotion in my voice.
He shivered at the sound of my voice. ?Yeah?sure whatever you say. Just don?t hurt me. I?ve got a wife and three kids. I only steal to feed them! ? The man was probably lying, but then again? I decided to let the man live. I let go of his wrist and he flopped forward landing on the ground. He slowly got up and smiled. The idiot was going to try something, he just knew it. ?Fool!? He drew his dagger and lunged at me. Why am I always right I thought as I sidestep the man. As a result he fell on his face again. ?Grrh!! I?ll get you!?
I decided to end it now because we were drawing a crowd. I again sidestepped the man and this time as he went by I delivered a swift chop to the neck. I watched as his face contorted in pain and his pupils go wide as he went into unconsciousness. The man hit the street with a loud thud. He?ll be out for a while, I better get a move on or this crowd will start raising pitch forks and call for a burning. I started walking and pulled my cloak tighter to me, to hide the color of my skin from those I pass by.
I stop and look up at the glaring sun. Why of all places did I have to go to Calimport I thought to myself? I started walking again towards my destination, The Gorged Gullet. There I would meet my informant.
