Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 13:54:47 EDTSuddenly the menu disappears and your breakfast starts to materialize. You look across the table and see Rilith and Gale, sitting side by side, just in a somber embrace, hardly touching their food. Astarion has already eaten and has his feet on the table, Shadowheart is missing, Karlach is outside training, and Lae'zel is arguing with the chef about how she isn't able to get meat for breakfast
Fernessa APP

Astarion APP

Rilith APP
10/30/2023 at 14:06:06 EDTDon't make me come over there, you blood-stained cotton ball
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 14:07:08 EDTI'm not to be confused with what you stuff down below. I would blame your demeanor on that, but I would have smelled it. So it's not that, but something has you in a bad mood
Me personally, I'd be thrilled if someone took out my worst enemy
Rilith APP
10/30/2023 at 14:08:14 EDTFernessa, put a muzzle on your dog. He's growling at me
Astarion APP

Fernessa APP

Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 14:10:14 EDTYes, but you love it... So did she {As he winks at Rilith}
Rilith APP
10/30/2023 at 14:11:46 EDTAw, I'm sure me being flustered gives you such a big ego boost...But no. My torture is still fresh in my miond, and right now I just wanna eat and possibly get drunk
Astarion APP

Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 14:13:08 EDTYou haven't told anyone about what happened except for gale and Araavos
They don't know the full extent of what happened, only that you were gone for a few minutes
Rilith APP
10/30/2023 at 14:15:23 EDTThat fucker raped and tortured me for 30 years. Possibly more. Then sent me back here, alone, naked, and helpless. I thought you would understand being tourmented, since yknow...Cazador and all.
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 14:16:55 EDTOh, you poor darling.... I know I joke most of the time, but 30 years? You were only got maybe 5 minutes.... So... that explains... Araavos.. did.... Oh........

Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 14:21:10 EDTThe air in the room falls silent. Gale lets out a somber cry trying to just be there for her, though he's not sure how...

Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 14:41:17 EDTalready leaving to play some music MY TIME HAS COME!!!!
Astarion APP

Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 14:43:40 EDTSometimes I wonder if she's just High... All that faewild stuff she's been eating
Rilith APP

Astarion APP

Gale, quick, bring her to the bar before she reverts

Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 14:47:19 EDTHush you over-ritchous glow stick, she needs this
Nazmir APP
10/30/2023 at 14:47:47 EDTnot over rightous. just concerned for my damn sister
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 14:48:48 EDTThen let her relax and push those thoughts aside for a while. She can deal with them later, hopefully in therapy... Until then, she needs a boost to her defenses
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 14:50:29 EDTYou hear them arguing...... about.. you.. Do they even realize you're still in the room? Gale looks at you, his expression says it might not be a bad idea. Perhaps Astarion's right, perhaps what you need right now, is to forget, or at the very least not care as much and just enjoy those that are still there for you
But your sister also has a point. It won't last forever, eventually, you will have to deal with it. But does it have to be right now?
Rilith APP
10/30/2023 at 14:52:57 EDTstands up and grabs Gale's arm Come on, squishy
Gale APP
10/30/2023 at 14:53:18 EDTWherever you want to go... I'll follow

Nazmir APP

Astarion APP

Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 15:13:10 EDTAs the dance comes to an end, Gale bows before Rilith as he floats her to her seat next to her drink. He sits down next to her. Astarion bows as well. Is he actually being charming? Araavos and Shadowheart smile at each other, and proceed to get another drink
Nazmir APP

Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 15:14:31 EDTYes?

Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 15:17:19 EDTNormally I am. I get it... But no, you just looked alone on the floor and I thought maybe you wanted to dance as well. I'd dance with Fernessa but she was already occupied and I can't resist a good social dance

Fernessa APP

Astarion APP

Narrator APP

Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 15:25:55 EDTOh? Didn't you hear? She named a chicken after you, since you reminded her of a chicken.. Figured I'd just address you properly. Now, If you'll excuse us

Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 15:34:19 EDTAs the music fades, Gale looks at Rilith... This is for you dear.... as he moves the piano and begins playing a almost ethereal melody. There are no words but emotion begins to flood everyone who hears it. You don't need words, the music says it all....

Nazmir APP
10/30/2023 at 16:12:29 EDTWhy would Majin kill a kid?
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 16:13:14 EDTBecause his father told him to.. Well not directly, His father told him to kill. Maijin chose the child
Worst part of it is.... The mother was infertile... The child was a miracle birth

Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 16:20:11 EDTOk, but how do you approach someone and go "Hey, your nephew who's also your half brother is dead. Your friend's the one that did it, oh and he secretly has an evil entity in his sword who happens to be his father, and he demands blood sacrifices to regain his strength to break free. And that the father of the child is also your father, and oh yeah, he's not who he says he is, he's been lying to your whole family for decades

Nazmir APP
10/30/2023 at 16:26:33 EDTIsn't that your job, Mr "Drink my blood and we'll be bonded!"
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 16:27:34 EDTYes, bonded. Not "Let's fix your whole life being shattered emotional trauma!!!!!!"
Nazmir APP
10/30/2023 at 16:28:15 EDTI can try casting a spell to calm her down, but it won't fix anything
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 16:29:10 EDTI'll take calm over twitching like an over-caffinated rat trying to escape a maze
Nazmir APP

Nazmir APP
10/30/2023 at 16:33:21 EDTYes, all it does is put her in essentially a sedated state. She's fine
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 16:33:55 EDTYes, but what happens when she comes out of that?
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 16:34:04 EDTI'd suggest running...
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 16:34:14 EDTGood plan...
Nazmir APP
10/30/2023 at 16:34:44 EDTProbably. I mean, she'd most likely start gunning or Majin
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 16:36:21 EDTTrue, but you do realize it wasn't entirely his fault, right? He was compelled by his father...Although... he did choose the child, that was his choice
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 16:36:36 EDTAnd he choose poorly.
Nazmir APP
10/30/2023 at 16:36:39 EDTexactly

As you all take your places, Karlach stands back between the pews where Astarion and Araavos sit. Majin is sitting in the far back, his blade on the altar. He's too afraid... ashamed, to be near the others... Gale goes on to explain that his power..will be focused on the blade and the ritual. "You all {he looks over the girls} have to be my life-force.... Channel your energy into me. If I should run out.... {he looks into Rilith's very soul....} I won't make it...."

Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 19:06:11 EDTGale's eyes begin to glow, channeling arcane forces he himself doesn't understand.... the girls begin to channel healing energy into him.... Suddenly a purpleish vortex appears above the blade.... You can hear a voice come through. "Yessssssss Feeed me more power.... Free me from this cursed blade..." As the energy drains from Gale, the girls are struggling to keep up. Their energy draining along with his. "Nearly there..... MORE POWER!!!!!" As soon as it appears to reach the climax... Araavos springs from the chair and leaps into the vortex
Moments later, Araavos and Keddarc appear before the altar. The blade inert. Araavos appears.... better?
Araavos then shoves gale out of the way, finishing the ritual and channeling divine energy as he calls upon an ancient vengeful paladin who was slain by the blade long ago. Granting him his vengence in exchange for his power... Araavos binds his soul to the blade before closing the ritual
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 19:10:05 EDTIt is done.... Your blade possesses a new soul. And my power is restored... However....
Your father wields power no longer..... That... will be his pennance for his crime.

10/30/2023 at 19:33:05 EDTKeddarc looks around at the crowd. At Karlach... "The blade was my punishment for meddling with forces I should not have. I used Maijn... My own son as a means to and end. Through him I fed, until I could gather enough power to be free of that wretched blade. He knew what he was doing, but was compelled to do my bidding. Thanks to you and your compassion for my son, I am once again freed, and he no longer bound. If my pennance is to never again weild power and to be mortal once more than so be it. I deserve no mercy, I deserve no understanding. If you wish to strike me down I will accept your judgement. But spare my son. He had no willing part in it."
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 19:34:35 EDT.... *watching quietly. looking at Karlack and Majin*...

Karlach APP
10/30/2023 at 19:35:56 EDTYour own son.... you would condemn... your own son... To serve... you...
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 19:36:56 EDTMajin looks at Karlach I don't give permition to kill him. But, u can give him a punch. I did endure ur strength, so I guess he can too.
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 19:37:35 EDTMaijn... buddy... I don't think she's asking
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 19:38:04 EDTPermission? She can do what she wants! She doesn't need to ask!
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 19:38:14 EDTAs Karlach approaches Keddarc she raises her blade to strike. But as she swings the blade down, she misses intentionally..
Karlach APP
10/30/2023 at 19:39:33 EDTNo..... you'll live... You'll spend the rest of your life with the knowledge of what you've done.. And the suffering that comes with that. You'll die, sad. and alone... That..... that will be your fate... Now... if I were you... I'd be gone before I change my mind..
And you!! {She points to Maijn} I can understand why you did it. I can even forgive you for wanting to save your father. But willing or not, you participated. We are not ok.... at least not right now... Maybe one day that will change.. But for now... just stay away from me
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 19:42:26 EDTKarlack picks up her blade and walks away. Grief in her eyes
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 19:45:36 EDTMajin looks at Karlach and looks down I hate lying to her. looks at Keddarc Dad, is better if u go to Wildspace and sail the Astral Sea. I'm staying here, I don't wanna leave... at least not without her.
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 19:47:00 EDTIf I send him. You may never find him again. Are you sure you wish to remain here?
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 19:48:19 EDTYou ponder this decision. On the one hand you got what you wanted, you and your father are united once more. But on the other... he manipulated you, used you, and caused you to betray someone close to you.... Karlach... will she ever forgive you? That much is uncertain... As the portal appears, the choice now lays before you
Your father's hand stretches before you.... "Son?" as he nears the portal
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 19:54:56 EDTMajin Darkus nods Dad, I'm not ready yet. I... I love her. Surely u know what I mean. If I manage some how to go and find u, I'll tell u about my adventures. Just wait for me and take care okay. Majin Darkus sheds a tear hoping he'll see him again
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 19:56:29 EDTAs a saddened look washes over your father. One only you would see mind you... Does a blob have a face? He says his farewells.. and steps through the portal
His fate now in the hands of the unknown
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 19:59:18 EDTWells shit. Guess that's over with...looks at Majin Still mad at you, but...not as much as before, now that my brother is alive again...
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 20:00:32 EDTThis is news to Maijn... He wasn't aware that's what was being talked about when they said undoing his mistakes
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 20:02:09 EDTMajin Darkus confused a bit Wait, what do u mean by what I did to ur brother?
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 20:06:03 EDTListen, I really would rather not dwell on the bombshell that was dropped on me recently...I just wanna try and forget for now...goes to sit with Astarion. just trying to rest It's cause of you, blob boy, I may never look at my father the same way again...killing my brother revealed everything...
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 20:08:59 EDTOh. Majin looks at Fernessa I get it now. walks to his room as if he were grounding himself for everything he did and happened

Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 20:10:34 EDTAraavos dissapears and returns with a unique flower from the Faewild. One that only blooms once every 15 years. One that only grows in a region most, not even your own family can't get to. He presents it to you and as he does. It begins to bloom in your hand..
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 20:10:41 EDTPerhaps this will cheer you up...

Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 20:14:31 EDTAs you do it takes root in the ground, and from it bares a new tree. It's fruit exotic and powerful. The water in the pond changes, becoming even more welcoming to local flora and fauna. The area now resembles the Faewild. Home.... is here..
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 20:15:33 EDTWell how in the 9 hells do I compete with THAT!!!
Fernessa APP

Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 20:17:54 EDTYes yes, very charming... {Gives Araavos an evil glare}
Shadowheart APP

Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 20:21:10 EDTHey it doesn't matter how many extravagant gifts he gives me, or how good he is in bed, my heart still belongs to Astarion. No one else can compete. But still...Thank You, Araavos
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 20:21:42 EDTIt was nothing...I'm glad you enjoyed it..
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 20:22:06 EDT{again mocking him} it was nothing..... naaaa naaaa
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 20:22:44 EDTBabe, are you okay?...looks concerned
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 20:23:24 EDTWho me? I'm fine.... I love being one upped in every concievable way by a literal GOD....
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 20:24:21 EDTI don't love her. Not in the same way you do... I may have her body... But her mind, her soul.......... her heart..... Those are yours. Even I can not lay claim to those..
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 20:24:43 EDTWell yes, I do supposed I am far more charming than your spakling ass
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 20:25:21 EDTAraavos, as egotistical as he is, knowing that if he truly wanted her, he could have her, concedes.
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 20:25:49 EDTExactly...... How could I compete with your charms?
Jeremy
10/30/2023 at 20:26:30 EDT(Lol)
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 20:27:59 EDTAraavos thinks to himself... "I only saved her brother, giving up my power, something I doubt he'll ever do, as well as my life in the process... but hey a sip of blood's ok too
He doesn't even realize just how lucky he is to have her.... Arrogant fool
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 20:29:35 EDTGo get her buddy.... {before I do.....}
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 20:31:07 EDTMajin comes out of his room and walks to Araavos Amm. Can I ask something from u? Since u got my father's powers now
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 20:35:44 EDTNot his power exactly. I have my power. I just used his to restore my own. But go ahead with your question
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 20:38:08 EDTCould u make something that can keep me and my father in touch? So we can speak from time to time?
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 20:39:31 EDTGo speak with the Gnome... He'd be better suited to create such a device.
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 20:40:41 EDTMajin goes to find the Gnome
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 20:41:58 EDTlooks at Astarion Just to be sure...do you feel better now knowing there's really no competition?
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 20:43:18 EDTYou heard it straight from the god himself. Even he can't beat my charm...
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 20:44:23 EDTClearly you're lying, but he's just full of himself to believe it. You know that should Araavos actually persue you, he may win. Good thing he's not interested, at least not romanitically.... Right?
He does have Shadowheart, and they did that bonding ritual... So clearly he's found his one and only.... He does only have one... one and only.. right? You know polyamory exists, but surely not for him.... Right?
Meanwhile Fritz approaches the bar
Fritz APP
10/30/2023 at 20:47:35 EDTDid everything work out ok? Last thing I remember Gale was.... well. not in a good shape..
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 20:49:01 EDT(while trying to be really quiet)... *fowns*....I just sometimes wish that...That you appreciated me as much as he does.

Fritz APP
10/30/2023 at 20:51:54 EDTKnow what?
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 20:52:47 EDTFritz was't there, he's been gone a while. He has no clue what happened , what you've done, what the others have done to fix it. What they lost, what you've gained.... He's clueless and innocent...
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 20:54:33 EDTlooks at Astarion. He looks proud of himself. She doesn't wanna ruin that, but...what if it's for the better? ....You seem happy trying to force a smile despite her thouyghts
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 20:54:58 EDTMajin explains everything to Fritz up until now And that is everything up until now.
Narrator APP

Sippy cup.. what's wrong?
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 21:02:42 EDTSippy cup? The words burn in your ears. What once was a cute nickname now ring as a condecending insult. Is that all you are to him? Something to feed on.....
Come to think of it.... all his nicknames have been drink related..
Majin Darkus APP
10/30/2023 at 21:05:27 EDTMajin Darkus looks Fritz So I was thinking if u could make something for me and my father to keep in touch now that he's in the Astral Plane
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 21:05:40 EDTNo..No you're not listening. For once pull your head out of your ass and realize you've been treating me like your personal blood bank. Is that all I am to you?!? Just something to feed on?!? All your nicknames for me have been related to the fact you drink from me. Araavos actually treats me like a fucking person!!!!
Jeremy
10/30/2023 at 21:08:29 EDT(Oooh. 🫢)
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 21:08:55 EDT{He grabs your hand.} Darling... You know I care.... We've bonded, I literally put my life in your hands.
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 21:09:26 EDTThat's true... but was that only to assure you he wouldn't abuse his power?
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 21:10:47 EDTI mean.... I'm not a god.... not yet... but one day... one day I will be and then... Then I'll give you everything your heart desires.... We just have to bide our time...
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 21:11:09 EDTEven now, after you just warned him about the nicknames. He still can't call you by your actual name.....
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 21:13:15 EDT...You've never said my name...
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 21:13:43 EDTOf course I have darling... Haven't I?
Fernessa APP

Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 21:17:37 EDTDoes he mean to turn you? To enslave you to him as his spawn? Is this his goal? Did he just reveal his true nature? Or was it merely a stray thought?
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 21:18:41 EDTI DON'T WANT YOU TO ASCEND!...*sigh*...I already told you I don't want you to have all that power...I said It'll make you corrupt. Once again, you're not listening...Maybe you're already like that...A possessive asshole...
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 21:19:16 EDTHis eyes glow redder now...
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 21:20:57 EDTI let you romp around with the purple prick and his friends don't I? I let you go have your fun and then crawl in bed with me after you've had your fill..... If that's posessive well then so be it.....
Narrator APP

Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 21:22:17 EDT...I need your permission?
Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 21:23:04 EDTOf course not... Nor do I, yours... But at the end of the day I come back to you, just as........ just as.... you come back to me.....

Astarion APP
10/30/2023 at 21:29:23 EDTOf course I do. But I'm new to this whole love thing... I've walk around for thousands of years, sticking my fangs into anything that walked on two legs, hell I still do. I don't know what to do with this whole love thing... I just know I care, I don't want to lose you, and the thought of that purple prick taking the one good thing I actually have going for me pisses me off...
So you want the truth... fine... I'm scared.... alright.. There... I've said it... Pathetic isn't it..... I can have anyone I want, but once I have them, some shiny space man comes swooping in with his magic sparkly.... sexy... stupid ass and solves all your problems without breaking a sweat..
How is that supposed to make me feel?... Someone tell me how I'm suppossed to act when that happens, because for the life of me, I can't figure it out
Narrator APP
10/30/2023 at 21:38:44 EDTHe stands there... raw... exposed.... vulnerable.... shying his head away from you... Disgusted with himself, he's better than this... he's prouder than this.... What have you done to him.... What did he let you do to him...
Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 21:41:31 EDTAstarion...she takes his hands There's nothing wrong with being scared...But I promise you, I'm not going anywhere, okay?...You're not pathetic for being vulnerable...

And most of all, that despite how little he cares..... You're here talking to me, not because you're done..... Although you say you are.... You're here talking to me, because you're hurt....

Despite what you say, what she says.... I just can't.... It's not that I don't want her, it's not that I don't love her... I just don't know what love looks like... I don't know how to be that man. He died.... fucking died... for her... I can't do that... He gave up his powers for her. I don't even have them yet and I don't think I'd give them up... I get that I'm not perfect, but why him {Araavos} That asshole has everything, why does he have to have her too?
Rilith APP

Fernessa APP
10/30/2023 at 23:31:47 EDT....You're right, I'm here because I'm hurt...But how do you know me so well?...We haven't known each other long...
Araavos APP
10/30/2023 at 23:33:47 EDTBecause I make an effort to get to know everyone I'm involved with... I get to know them on a spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and sensual nature. It what makes the connection that much more enjoyable...
There's a lot about you I know, there's more I want to know... I want to know everything about you.... Your hopes, your dreams. I want to connect with you on a level you've never felt possible........ but.... {he pauses} You don't care what I want..... You want him to care what YOU want...
No matter how good I am..... It doesn't matter..... You want him to be more like me..... As flattering as that is.... that will never happen... Even if you take the best parts of me, in your dreams... It's his face you're seeing. Even if it's me speaking....
So go to him....... but before you do.... Look past his flaws.... and there are many.... and appreciate the fact that even now.... he knows you're here with me, and the only reason he isn't here attempting to stab me, is because even he knows he doesn't deserve you.
Oh..... and one more thing? If you want him to know you.... show him.... I have a feeling you'll have to spoon feed him until he learns to chew on his own....
But if it doesn't work out....... I'll still be here, that won't change....
Fernessa APP

Every blade of grass, every tree, every living creature answered to my call.... I was a kind ruler, there was peace, more than there is even now.... But that kind of power was envied... coveted by my people. They decided to form a council, and determined that my power should be shared. So they conspired against me, trapped me in the seed of an ancient oak tree and stole my power from me, they then formed the circles you now know today... Eventually, that tree bore fruit, and from the pod I emerged born again anew.... At first I had no memory of who I once was... Until I reached maturity. It was then that I formed a plan, to live among my people, traveling from circle to circle, new families in each, with the ultimate goal of restoring my power anew, and taking control of the Faewild once more. This truth, you now bare, puts that whole plan at risk. Which is why I must now start again... Unless you're willing to help."

10/31/2023 at 01:29:27 EDTYour mother ladels the soup into the bowls before each of you... "So.... tell me about your boyfriend here...." your mother quips.. "Yes... I'd very much like to know myself.." Your father chimes in. As he grabs his first spoonful of the mushroom stew your mother prepared. Your favorite...
Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 01:31:40 EDTHe's a vampire. Met him at a tavern. Super charming and sweet, but...frowns Doesn't know much about me...
Narrator APP
10/31/2023 at 01:33:05 EDT"So it's puppy love then.... Like a cub..." Your mother sneers..... "Now now honey, doesn't it always start like that...I remember when we first met, we didn't know anything about each other either" Your father adds
Astarion APP
10/31/2023 at 01:34:46 EDT{Wait am I the cub? Astarion thinks to himself}
Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 01:34:50 EDTThat's one of the reasons I came here...Hoping you could help show him what our history is like
Narrator APP
10/31/2023 at 01:36:36 EDTShe goes on to explain the nature of the first druid circles, about how the groove was founded... At least, the history they tought in schools. But you know the truth now... And you can sense the fury in your father's heart as she recounts the lies told by those who betrayed him
"That's right dear..... and don't forget to tell him about the different Circles... each one with a different connection"
Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 01:39:34 EDT...looks away in sadness

10/31/2023 at 01:42:20 EDT"Fernessa, don't be rude... just because you know these stories doesn't mean you can tune out, especially when we're trying to teach your boyfriend here...." Your mother says angrily... "That's right, this was always your favorite part.... Go on honey.... " your father adds "Right... so then there was the birth of the 4.... The first 4 Eladrin.." She goes on to explain the creation of the first of the Eladrin's.
Your father hides it so well..... how can your mother not see, why hasn't your father told her, you know it has to be kept secret tll the time is right, but clearly it's killing him.... maybe she'd be understanding like you are... But.... what if she's not...
Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 01:45:35 EDTNot being rude, just...lots of stuff going on... *Trying to blink away tears*....Carry on, I'll sit out this time...
Narrator APP
10/31/2023 at 01:51:33 EDT"If you insist.... It's still rude though, regardless of what you have going on" Your mother goes on to elaborate on your family history..... {well her family history, she doesn't know much about your father's history... Because there isn't any....} with a almost religious fanaticism. Centuries of lies, about your history, about your father, about everything. Every word coming from her mouth another cut to your father's heart... If the wounds were real, this grove would be bathed in blood... Your father just sits there and nods, smiling approvingly, but deep down..... you bleed with him...
You came here to teach Astarion. But it's you who learned the truth this day...But which version will be the truth you tell him?
As the evening draws to a close, your father stands up and leans over your mother, giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead before telling her he must be off to travel once more for work. You know this to be a lie, he's off to another family... but you say nothing... He then turns to you.. "Don't be a stranger... " as he walks off into the forest..

Astarion APP
10/31/2023 at 01:59:01 EDTIs everything ok? You were with your father for an awfully long time, did something happen?
Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 02:01:08 EDTanother fleeting moment of the man she so desperately wants him to be.. Just some family issues, Astarion...*crosses arms as though to try and comfort herself*..Nothing more...
Astarion APP
10/31/2023 at 02:04:12 EDT{he knows your lying yet still, he tries to lighten the mood with humor} Well look, I'll be honest, I'm probably going to forget most of what I've just learned, but look!!!! Here's what I think I got... You're a spring Eldarin.... this is the Emerald Grove.... and.... you guys like circles!!!!
Narrator APP
10/31/2023 at 02:04:48 EDTHis words though comforting that he's putting in effort, are just a reminder of the lies your father must endure to maintain his cover.

Astarion APP

Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 02:30:34 EDTYou're not wrong. They do smell bad. Met some on the docks before I boarded that ship that wrecked. One of them was rather charming.
Astarion APP
10/31/2023 at 02:31:52 EDTI'm sure the smell of stale sea water, sweat and the lack of a shower was quite charming....
Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 02:33:03 EDTNot the smell, oh hells no. The pesonality. He may not have been the cleanest of folk, but he was really....chrismatic...
Astarion APP
10/31/2023 at 02:34:22 EDTWell, if we ever meet him we'll have to introduce him to the wonders of a good bath...
Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 02:35:41 EDTPossibly. Besides, he's elusive, anyway. From what I hear.
Astarion APP
10/31/2023 at 02:36:33 EDTYou'd think for someone surrounded by water most of their lives, they'd at least you know... get in it once in a while
Fernessa APP
10/31/2023 at 02:37:21 EDTlaughs I wholeheartedly agree
Narrator APP
