<span style="color: #666600">"The individuals aren't much better either. There's one, Jasmine, I loaned her a sliver of my power and she helped me prepare the room for you and Syla but she has no interest in my problems and I don't blame her. Having spoken to Sylavandra for the brief period that I did I can fully understand him pushing her down a flight of stairs... don't get me wrong, he's an arrogant prick, even by my standards, but he is just as much a victim of the Loa as Ibara is. The difference is that he had friends and loved ones to rely on to get him through it, Ibara had nobody. Well she had him but the Loa took him away from her too." </span>He thought for a while and leaned back in his chair.<span style="color: #666600"> "The'kal and Arlokk are my parents, though their genders are switched in this timeline. One is the most powerful Eternal to ever exist, the other is a former High Priest to a Loa and a man who wrote the book on blood sacrifices. I had an older sister but she was sacrificed to Hakkar or some other heinous Loa. But once I married a Gnome I really lost every friend I had and that was the catalyst for my former friends to come back and take everything from me."</span>He summoned a bottle of wine and took a long drink from it.<span style="color: #666600"> "My mother, Arlokk... she's known as The'kal here for some reason. Touted herself as the goddess of mothers and children, she took on the form of a great panther and would appear to defend any would hurt a pregnant woman or a new mother. She provided aid to them in her temples and any woman of any race could receive her blessing. Yet her own son was left abandoned when his family needed help. I had my powers then but I hadn't learned how they worked so I couldn't do anything... I sat there with Vyre's spear through my heart, pinned to a wall as Nyaka carved up Amere and our unborn child and Vyre stomped our adopted daughter to death." </span>He finished the bottle with a second drink and sighed softly.<span style="color: #666600">"I need to make something stronger to drown these thoughts. Vyre and Nyaka are two people I would have died for. They supported Amere and I through the worst of times and they were at our wedding, they helped Amber adjust to her new life and she loved them as her aunts. Then one day they just appeared out of the blue and everything went to shit. And with all this power I have at my disposal I'll never get to figure out why or avenge my family. I couldn't save my family, I couldn't save Ibara and when she snapped she turned Silvermoon on me... but hey, now I'm here and..." </span>He shrugged and rested one arm over his eyes.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
