Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Rystil Arden]

"I don't think you can, Vasha...She loved Marrik so, and then he spurned her for Ashana...I never knew either of those two, as they were on Arris before I was born, but...You must be a constant reminder to her of that..."

 

[Bront]

"I believe he sought to protect her, and loved her in his own way. I believe in the power of love, for it is what keeps us fighting for Arris, our love for her. Louteah, I hope we can help Alyz overcome her pain. I did it for Zythryd, I can do it for her."

Vasha sighs "I just love her so much, and it hurts to see her in pain, especialy if it's because of me."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I don't...I wouldn't delve in there too deeply Vasha. Alyz is very complicated and she has a lot of pain, built up for so long...For the years I have known her, she is at her best when she simply lets that pain lie, but by dredging it up, even to try to help, she can't do that..."

 

[Bront]

Vasha nods "I'll find a way to help eventualy, I owe her that, but I'll try not to directly interfere. I shared my love with her earlier, and I hope that helps a little. Perhaps it will allow her to feel loved again."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You don't owe us anything, Vasha. Alyz fights for the people of Arris because she cares, and that's why she helped you too, I'm sure."

 

[Bront]

"I know, but I do. To do anything less would mean I don't love you both, and you know I do."

Vasha smiles "I guess I'm a slave to my own nature. I love, and I always will, even if it hurts."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Maybe you're right...

*Louteah cuddles against Vasha, hoping to make the Naiad feel better.*

*After a while, Alyz returns.*

"I have good news and bad news again Vasha."

 

[Bront]

Vasha sighs "You always seem to. Please, do share."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"The good news is that they are done with Zythryd and we can go get him. The bad news is that they are done with Zythryd, so he isn't the same anymore..."

"Vasha, would you like to come with me to rescue him together from his prison, in your Valsian disguise?"

 

[Bront]

"What do you mean isn't the same anymore? Yes, of course I'll come."
