Quote:I’ve always taken pride in my sight, ever since I beheld the moon that very first night.
Perhaps that pride is what blinded me once more. What bound me from doing what I should’ve had the strength to do.
Quote:I didn’t see my people die. I didn’t watch when they cast themselves upon the rocks of the enemy...but I beheld their beginnings, I had watched them grow. And I merely watched as the boy I knew descended so deep into his anger that he saw nothing else.
I just watched. And I’ve never felt so blind.
Quote:Now few of us remain. Scattered amongst the factions of this land. It’s a testament of our strength that the old ways still survive, even amongst new loyalties...and I again, only watch.
A priestess, and yet a mere observer of our people. An advisor who was silent when she should’ve spoken all the louder.
Quote:As I reflect. The more I realize I’ve done nothing to earn the gift I was given, to grow strong because of them...
I’ve merely stagnated. Reveling in what was given, instead of seeking what was not. So on my pride as a Priestess of Kark, I must bind myself tight in penance.
Quote:By blood they’ll be taken, and by blood they’ll be earned once more.
