[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 339422, member: 2012"] [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]DABUKS' SOLILOQUY[/B][/COLOR] [I][B]The Great Forest, Woodknot, Eiithinia's Rest:[/B][/I] At the same time Bactra stood on his balcony, Dabuk could be found kneeling amongst the fallen leaves and soft earth of his mother's sacred grove. His legs and knees were numb but he hardly noticed. Only here was he ever near peace. Only here could he still be close to her. A magically shaped oak in the form of Rillifane stood to his left with an equal of Corelleon on his right. They towered over the grove as sentinels guarding his mother's soul and the forest she loved. A small birch magically shaped in the form of his mother stood in the center of the grove. The Elders had dedicated it an the entire grove to his mother after her death. Renaming it Eiithinia's Rest. "Mother," Dabuk spoke for the first time in five hours of praying. "Can you hear the trees today? They miss you." The half-elven ranger was shaking his breath forming mist in the cold night air. But still he refused to move. "Two more of the beasts are gone, mother. In time, they will all be gone. I swear it. I will make them pay for the pain and the death they cause. This new war is a gift from Rillifane. I can feel it. Soon the hordes will know my name. Fear it. They won't have anywhere to hide from my rage, my vengeance. Father thinks I am obsessed. If I am then I learned it from him. He hates orcs like I hate ogres. He never shows them mercy and I understand. And yet, he associates with one of the beasts! This Kellin One-Eye! An ogre, mother! One of his best friends in the world is an ogre! He betrays us. I wish I knew why. Has the beast enchanted his mind somehow mother? It doesn't make sense." Dabuk raises his head staring at the Life Tree of his mother. He wished his life had been but a dream and that he would wake to find her standing over him. Smiling at him in that way that told him everything would be ok. "Their deaths are not enough! I will not rest until they all gone and the evil one that spawned them with them! I will not yield. Someday, I will stand in heavens and destroy Vaprak himself! I swear it! Do you hear me Vaprak! I will come for you someday! I SWEAR IT!" Dabuk was shaking uncontrollably. He fought to stay on his knees but could not. The grieving boy turned man lay down fetal, shaking. The trees wept for him. "The trees miss you, mother." Dabuk whispered in the darkness. "I miss you." [/QUOTE]
