    Ariadne didn’t choose her strength, but was born with this “super human” power. At a very young age she was showing signs of abnormal muscular ability-lifting and carrying things twice her weight, pushing heavy objects with ease-and it wasn’t long before she became known throughout the city as “Krenn-Elese” which meant in the native tongue “blessed of the gods”

    Orphaned at the age of five by parents with little money and no social status, Ariadne was taken in by a widowed neighbor. When she was seven years old she was kidnapped by a man, Zellvius, who had heard of her incredible strength and decided to exploit her abilities to his advantage in his travelling circus. She was treated fairly well over the next five years, despite the cold and hunger she was forced to endure. Then, Ariadne was bought from Zellvius, by a visiting merchant whose master had heard of her rare strength and was willing to pay an extreme price to get her. Little did twelve year old Ariadne know what lay ahead for her. Unbeknowst to her, her new owner was a world renowned slave trader. Molquinn was a man of extreme wealth who made his fortune in slave dealing and in his well known “Hectus” Arena. Once Ariadne came under his power, her life turned from bad to worst. For the next couple of years she spent her life training under Molquinn’s watchful eye, his plan being that once she learned to apply skill to her strength she would perform in his arena and his income would sky rocket. Who wouldn’t find pleasure in such sensational entertainment as watching a girl beat a man to death?

    Hence, Ariadne became a means to monetary end…and so of couse she was treated that way. Abused and misued, Ariadne was treated like garbage…like a body with no soul. After three grueling years of learning the arts of fencing, wrestling, archery, and hand-to-hand combat Ariadne was ready to take the stage. And take it she did. The crowds roared with approval at the delightfully shocking sight of a woman beating a man in a battle for strength and the coins dropped fast into Master Molquinn’s greedy pocket. In this atmosphere of blood and hate and abuse, Ariadne lost all sense of humanity. She became a breathing machine, with no emotions, simply trying to survive. Once a beautiful girl, she became hard and rugged, any feminity she posessed lost amidst her fight to survive.

    One night, after a near death experience in the arena, Ariadne flees. She has no one and no where to go to but she knows she has to get away from Molquinn. In a flash, Molquinn is on her trail and it takes everything in her power to resist recapture. In the midst of her flight she falls across the path of a certain young man who promises safety in return for sexual favors. She agrees and for the next couple of years fades out of the public eye and is assumed dead.

    The young man turns out to be a complete jerk, with a serious crimal background and before long Ariadne leaves him, although pregnant and penniless.

    When Ariadne realizes that Molquinn is still searching for her, she abandons her baby boy on the steps of a nunnery and escapes to a foreign island off the coast of the country.

    And that’s when she makes her first grand appearance in the story..
