Phryne is the child of slaves, but she escaped when she was but a child. She ran away, and one day she showed up in a town far away. She found a place to live with an older blind man, who needed her help. He educated her in politics, logic, poetry, and mathematics, and he cared for her as if she were his granddaughter. He died just ten years later.

Instead of getting married she decided to become a politician. Her opinion was valued by the Elders in the town. She was the only woman, who could speak in the town council, and it made the other women in town jealous. They accused her of impiety, because she had no respect for the Gods.

She was put on trial. During the sentencing a big earthquake hit the town. No one died, but Phryne was never found dead or alive. They searched high and low but they never found her. The Elders saw the earthquake as a sign that the gods were against the sentence, and they quickly made Phryne a saint.

Phryne was no saint and she had escaped the city through the sewers.

She had to cross a big and wide desert, where she almost died. Phryne was close to death, but was saved by a witch. The witch could only save her by using scorpion poison, but the poison fused with her DNA and Phryne got a scorpion tail. At first Phryne was sad that the tail destroyed her beauty, but she soon learned to appreciate being alive.

The witched told her to seek the Voodoo Kings of the north countries, because they might be able to remove her tail. Phryne reached the North only to discover Voodoo Kings were no longer common. She tried to find lodgings but she was turned away. Every place she turned people feared her for her tail.

She found a few Voodoo kings but they couldn't help her. Then she heard roumors about a very powerful Voodoo king (my Fifth Motif Venitu), and she sought him out. She made a deal with him to help her, but before he could help her, she accidently burned down his castle.
