It was a hard and frightening thing to not only find your way out of insanity, but to at the same time step forward into a world unknown for a second time in your life. Starting over anywhere is never easy, and it seems to be particularly more difficult as one gets older. Kerrinne was afraid she would not be as successful in this new dimension of RhyDin as she was in the past one. After all, very few people that crossed over still remained in this new dimension. She would not have the political ties and the reputation of her past to propel her interests any longer. Though with nothing left for her to do, she stood tall and moved Ivory into this new dimension to see what sort of destiny might await her here.
One of the first things she did once arriving was come upon the Red Dragon Inn Graveyard. It was here that she buried the cremated ashes of her mentor and friend, Merlin de Dubar beneath a young sprout of a white oak tree. With the formal rites in place, the Golden Staff of RhyDin was revealed to her. And the spirit of Merlin came to her for the first time to tell her of the prophecy of the staff. The shade revealed to her many other prophecies that had been made about her, but she was not a woman to cling to such visions. She believed in her heart that all visions and destinies were alterable by free will and choice. With grim determination, she set her mind not to believe those forecasts.
The Golden Staff was placed in a safe place by her for she was not to be the wielder of this legendary weapon, but rather one of her future children would be born unto the rightness of ownership to this magical and powerful artifact. She officially changed her name to go by Kerrinne rather than Kerrih at this time. New places needed new beginnings. Kerrinne was determined to make a new reputation for herself in this new dimension of RhyDin. So every night she spent at the Red Dragon Inn studying and watching the ways of the denizens of this plane, and her intrigue was piqued by revelation of guilds that thrived in this land. The Underground RhyDin could prosper here ten times greater than it ever did prior. There was so much espionage and assassination opportunities here. Kerrinne felt sure she could exploit the commercial market to her benefit.
So she took to rebuilding the UR in secret, while in public she began to make herself well known amongst the guilds and kingdoms of the light. People who reminded her of the origins of RhyDin. The pure hearted, passionate people who helped build this place were the ones she had always felt the closest bond to. The guilds of the light seemed bent on defending RhyDin from wicked things that would seek to destroy it or to wipe out the beauty of it. In her mind, this is where she wanted to be allied. She met a man one evening in the RDI named Lord James JoyKnight, and she had been so long without the company of one. She married Joy, as he went by that name, rather quickly and moved into his home at Tallowcross.
It can be alarming when you wake up one morning to find out the person you married out of loneliness and desperation for company was not a person you would ever truly see yourself married to. But nonetheless, this very thing happened to Kerrinne. Joy was a Templar Knight; and Kerrinne, a Protestant Christian at the time, could not comprehend his aggressive 'kill them all' attitude toward those of non-pure factions. By one month after they were married, Kerrinne already felt detached from her husband emotionally.
