Mikal is from a small village in the far away country of Fabraroma. She is a natural archmage of a unique form of magic called the Ashamar Genie Pact. Due to her unique ability the people of her homeland have ostracized and hunted Mikal since the time her powers emerged when she was twelve years old. In order to understand why this is, one must first no a little bit about her homeland.
The kingdom of Fabraroma has a unique form of magic known as pact magic. Ages ago, there was a great war between the region's humans and powerful and supernatural beings. No one is sure why the war started, but it raged on for several centuries in an eternal stalemate. Even though the human where weaker by far than the superior beings, and even though the superior creatures possessed magic where the humans had none, the humans ability to rapidly increase their population keep the monsters from ever truly gaining ground. Eventually the monsters were faced with a choice. On one hand, they could fight on, no doubt killing all of the humans but killing off all of the bloodlines of their own houses as well. On the other, they could try to strike a deal with the humans to ensure the survival of both.
The agreement the two sides reached where called pacts. The premise was simple. A human could strike a pact in one of many different ways (via a pledge of allegiance, a ritual, a sacrifice, or even by having an existing pact passed down from an ancestor which is what happened to Mikal), and in doing so the human would be gifted with some of the superior being's natural magic. In return, the superior beings bloodline would absorb some of the natural essence of that human, and once enough essence was collected in this way a new superior being would be created, thus continuing on the bloodline.
The pacts kept peace for a golden age, until the humans began to war amongst themselves. Two pacts, joined forces and seized control of the country. They declared all other pacts heretical and began to terminate them. Four hundred years had passed since the tyrannical government led by the Nobelese clan seized power when Mikal was born.
At the age of twelve, the potent and latent magic powers of the pact struck by Mikal's ancestor revealed themselves. Within a single month, a squadron of witchhunters (knights and mages tasked with killing or capturing pact users and other undesirables) was deployed and sought her out in her home village. Mikal's powers where so great that she was able to kill all ten of the witchhunters that attacked her, but not before they butchered her entire village. The governement pinned the murder of the villagers as well as the deaths of the witchhunters on Mikal, and she instantly became the most wanted criminal in the kingdom. She had no choice but to flee- running and hiding to avoid more bloodshed.
Over the years Mikal found or rescued three children- Fufuka
Mikal fought as hard as she could, but this time she was only able to defeat forty nine of the magic knights. As she lay defeated at the feet of the final magic knight she felt sure she was going to die, but in a last ditch effort to buy time for the children to escape she clung to the feet of the final magic knight. This knight, Profit Oathhorn, was not cruel and bloodthirsty like most of the magic knights, and due to certain circumstances had long been questioning the so called “righteousness” of his life long mission. Touched by Mikal's noble act and unwilling to kill children, Profit not only spared her life but also smuggled her out of the country.
At the border they were discovered, and in the fight for escape Profit was horribly wounded. Somehow he found the strength to break free and lead their pursuers away, even though he knew that if he was captured he would die for his treason. Refusing to let Profit's sacrifice be in vain, Mikal took the children and fled until she reached a land so far away that the people has never heard of Fabraroma. This is how her journey truly began.
