[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7126849, member: 23"] Lal laughs with the nomads at the camel's anticts, and he says softly " Well, first be grateful for this camel, as it is a great distraction and a stout beast of burden..." This face grew more somber and he continued "... but you are cleared eyed - your position *is* difficult, not one I would envy. I think though that the men of House Bakr would not risk angering the Sheik... but yes, caution is advised. But what I really wonder about is your brother's ongoing link to the deposed Sultan - is he still alive, even 30 years later? I truly believe that you and your family have a chance to redeem themselves, but it will never happen if they are not willing to let go of the past... History is a wise teacher, but we must not let it become a set of chains." Lal picks up his tabar and lays the long axe on his lap, looking at the head's greenish metal and angular runes. After a sigh he adds "Perhaps my greatest victory was convincing my foes to realize that a true enemy had pitted us against each other, and that we had to unit to vanquish said enemy. I will not lie to you, it was a bitter triumph... but the alternative was utter defeat. You must find the link between your brother and the Sultan and break it." [/QUOTE]
