Keska, despite the harshness and brutality of her home plane, is an inveterate adventurer. Always dodging the denizens to explore the shadowy ruins around the shadow of Rue, she learned much about the dangers such places held, and wished desperately to learn more of the place that cast the shadow she lived in. Her, and the voices that constantly whispered to her as she explored, giving warning or playing tricks in equal measure and keeping her company, many whispering of their wish to see Rue once again.

Between her wanderlust and the prodding of the voices, it was only ineveitable that she went to visit this realm of light she had heard and read so much about. She found someone that was on their way to the plane on business, paying a small fee for the "extra exertion" by the planar traveler, and accompanied them to the realm she had longed to see... And found it wanting. This was not the realm she had been told of, the shining realm of light and history and passion. But she still went to see if there was any light left, at least nearby.

After a time, she fell into the melancholy that can only be found when ones expectations are so utterly broken. The one thing that brought her comfort was the color she found on this plane, color so vibrant and brilliant, and color worn and used by a people who held so tightly to the lives they had left on this dying world. Through all of this, the voices pleaded of her to let them "live once again," more and more insistent as the days wore on, until she decided to let one in.

She does not remember the day that the spirit (as she now knows them) entered her, but the result was that she woke up with a horrid hangover having missed her way back to her plane. But she didn't care so much, really. She was broke, and there was so much more to explore out there, more color and history to find on this ancient and dying world, wasn't there?
