After several years of proving herself a more than capable healer and devoted priestess of the Light, Vel had started musing on those she had left behind. Seeing as both of her brothers had been long grown and moved out of the house when she had left her mind immediately turned to her mother and father. Wondering what ever happened to them after she had left. If the fighting had stopped or if it had grown steadily worse after she was gone.
She had started off by working in the plaguelands. Healing men and women after they had returned from battling against the scourge and she had more than proven herself. She was stationed there for several years before she was sent to what she had referred to the frozen north. Vel had finished up working on a man at the Argent Crusade when she saw fit to take a short break to rest her hands from working the entire day. She was standing near buffet of food that was laid out for all of the healers and their patients when a messenger from home had arrived to give her a telegram.
After he made his way to her he smiled to her and handed her the message and repeated the message he was given by his superiors, “Urgent message from Silvermoon for you. It is requested that your respond immediately.” Vel gave him a light smile and handed him a coin, saying “Thank you” and sending him on his way. She stepped off to the side and opened up the telegram and her knees gave way and she was forced to the ground. She had sat there for what seemed like hours on end, her fellow healers had come up to her and tried to get her to open up about what had been written in the note but she was shocked into complete silence.
After what had seemed like hours(in reality it was only a few minutes that had gone by) she finally regained enough composure to make her way over to her superior to show the man the telegraph she had gotten. The words were imprinted into her memory and she couldn’t ever forget them. Handing him the notice, the man sent her on leave to respond to the summons:
“Your presence is required urgently back in Silvermoon. Your mother, Kyelilah Emberflame has been murdered and your father, Quris Emberflame has been charged with the crime. You are needed back in Silvermoon within the fortnight for his trial.”
Without further delay she packed up a number of her outfits and headed back to Silvermoon to await his trial and sentencing, not knowing even slightly how it would turn out or if he was guilty of the crimes he was charged with but all would be made clear when she returned.
