[QUOTE="MorningstarofEll, post: 6106839, member: 42542"] Greywolf told me that Sagiro had been updating the story hour and was up to this battle..and I had to log in. I just caught up. Oh boy. Thank you for the recap on Swan, and yes she was all those things. To Morningstar, Swan was more than that. Swan was an ally in the early days when no one in her temple seemed to much like her or trust her. She risked her place with Rhiavonne to stand up for what she felt was right. She was calm and courteous and brave. And these days, she was one of the few people who trusted Morningstar but did not stand in awe of her. Octesian picked his target well. And Octesian. Morningstar (and her player) had been looking forward to this combat for a long time…and this wasn’t what she had been looking forward to. I see why Sagiro set it up this way, it sets the tone for what is coming. Look here, this was one of your feared enemies and he is nothing to what is coming. It also gives us a different kind of fight than the last big showdown we had with him. But I wished that we made Octesian a priority on the list earlier. The person Morningstar had wanted to defeat was really already gone, this was a mad dog needing to be put down. And to make it worse..DRANKO was infected by the same terrible madness. And then Farazil came barging into our lives again. Lets just say I was with team Ernie on this one. Those doors shutting in Gods Thorn, our loved ones made vulnerable, every darn time we opened our doors with stupid ploys to try to protect ourselves from Farazil and then having to hope we hadn’t just let him into our one safe haven. Yep. No sympathy for poor Farazil here! Morningstar had detected no sense of 'reformation' from Farazil. Just an extremely powerful and exquisitely self-interested being who could not be trusted with any side but his own. As Morningstar I went into this battle worried for Dranko, and wishing I hadn’t gone through such trouble to train these dreamwalkers some of whom were certainly about to suffer Swan’s fate. They had a right to stand up and fight, but I feared I might be better off with only my trusty company by my side. [/QUOTE]
