Of course.

*pauses, gathering his thoughts; he takes on a faraway look, voice soft*

I'm from a small kingdom called Fanelia. We weren't the most powerful country or the most advanced, but it was beautiful, covered in forests that had been old in my grandfather's grandfather's time. The "green land protected by dragons," it was called.

My father fell ill when I was fifteen, so it was just me and Mother and my younger brother, Van. I had to take care of him...it was my duty to take care of everyone. I remember hours of various types of training so I could be ready...

	... No. Van is king of Fanelia. I am, or was, Strategos of the Zaibach Empire. We...seem to be at war. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_sad_clown 2011-09-19 05:47 am UTC (link)
	No, but I know enough to fill in the gaps. There was some sort of ceremony required before the coronation; obviously something went wrong for I did not return for 10 years. By then I was a high-level sorceror and the main strategist for the great Zaibach military. I had the ear of the emperor himself. Our aim-- We were trying to create a world of peace.

*a pause. then he extricates his hand from hers, wrapping his arms around himself*

Not everyone is willing to join under Zaibach's ideal. Some people need convincing. Van...wouldn't be convinced, at any cost.

I may not remember much, but I know that everything I've done has been for him. When I first met him again after ten years--I had to show him my wings before he recognized me. He'd thought I'd been killed and said it would have been better if I had been. He might be right.

	doesn't lean into it, but doesn't flinch away There's a lot that's still vague. And there must have been a reason for the choices I made. But looking on them from here...I don't think I was a very good person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You are a good person. All of us... We make terrible choices sometimes. That's how we end up here. But all this time I've known you, you've only shown me how kind and caring you are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
