"Good thing Dad was around to put the poor thing out of it's misery." sighs Em but he is smiling broadly. "Mama broke the poor things back but then it was flailing so bad she was afraid to take another shot at it.... And Stella was sobbing her eyes out because she wanted to eat it, like Dad ate his snakes."

*Kero nods*
I miss it...but you know,if it hadn't happened, you and I wouldn't have lived very good lives.

Em nods. "Aye, there is that. Nor Sis for that matter and truth be told, her life would have been far worse than ours. I won't say what I did freed her... it was wrong straight up, but it did save her a great deal of grief. Thank Paladin, things have changed. I hear that these days, only the elderly frown on those of mixed blood... and no one seems to be paying them much mind."

I heard Silveria tell one to shut her mouth and stop yapping about blood purity, because if it were really all that wrong, Paladine himself wouldn't have adopted a mixed blood.

Emnast smiles. "Maybe I'll go back someday, just to see how things are, but then maybe I won't. There's nothing back there for me now... my future is here."

*Kero nods*
Should you go back, I know not how they would receive you. Dad would call you a hero, as would I.

"Then you've merely made up my mind... the valley is better off without me. I'm no hero, Lucy... that was Shia... I just did what needed to be done, nothing more." sighs Emnast sadly. "Quite a few died in that little war... battle... confrontation... whatever the hell you want to call it... and sadly, only one meant anything to me."

*Kero sighs*
It wasn't your fault, Brother. Not at all.

"Wasn't it? She was my mistress... dark and foul... and I followed her eagerly until Shia showed me the error of my ways... How much of that attack upon the dragonkind was my fault? How much strength did I feed her?" Emnast sighs heavily and falls silent.

*Kero goes over to Emnast, and smacks him on the back of the head*

"Ow!" cries the white dragon, rubbing behind his ear. "Why did you do that?"

To drive away the demons of Stupidity. They were obviously lodged in there, making you think you had something to do with that when you didn't.

Emnast glares at him. "Kero, surely you knew that all of her followers were conduits of power, feeding her with our strengths."

Em, I kept more tabs on you than you could have dreamed of. Any power you donated to her came to me instead. She simply received the illusion thereof.

For a brief fleeting second, the old Emnast stared out at him, anger consuming him, then just as quickly it evaporates. "I won't even begin to ask how you did that... so I was never truly free... of you or her, was I... just a kept pet, chafing at the bit... a bit of momentary diversion. I"m such a fool. Why do I continue to exist... what good or use am I?"
