Ayira was raised with a lot of pressure and expectations foisted upon her. Having a primordial being as a parent, there was a hope she'd develop extraordinary powers. But that hope died when she was showed the limits of a human mage. Stronger than average, but not exceptional.
But even if her primordial parents was disappointed, her mother made sure Ayira's magical and non-magical abilities were nurtured and strengthened. If only to keep her safe in a world, that fears and abhors magic.
When her primordial parent sets out to confront a new scheme by the invading wraith, she follows them and gives them no choice but to accept her help in the matter. Reluctantly, they agree and Ayira gets a chance to prove she's not a disappointment.
To her, failing is not an option, as it'd mean losing her only chance of being accepted by her parent.
Sent to stage the distraction by herself, she encounters a wraith. As it turns out, it's not just any wraith but one of the first to enter the world some six decades ago. One of the few, who are very comfortable in their conundrum of a world physically rejecting them, making them live in carcasses.
And that wraith smells its chance for a new body, powerful in its make and an opportunity to end the primordial being after them.
