Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khaira" data-source="post: 2741029" data-attributes="member: 37069">A fire seemed to burn in Khaira's eyes as he tried to tell her that Agudo had let her have an "easy" escape and that he was, in fact, sympathizing for her."Easy, Agudo? Keldorn let me go, eh? So that was why he had every soldier attacking to kill, every cleric and wizard throwing every spell they knew at me, and the whole courtyard involved in anarchaic battle? Can we forget, too, about how Keldorn's little gnome friend very nearly killed my companion and mount? Or can we forget about how that very same arrow from Keldorn's little gnome friend struck me unconscious and almost killed ME?Let me go, Agudo? I had to fight tooth and nail for my very life! I lost many of my bardic students that day, many of Keldorn's precious knights were fallen, and gods only know how many others were scarred for life? And you. You. Did. Not. Do. A. Single. Thing. To. Stop. It. I'd wonder, in fact, how much you or Keldorn actually cared about the lives that were changed that day! Keldorn didn't want to kill me? Agudo, opened your damned eyes! He took every possible step to ensure that I didn't leave Hillsfar alive!"Khaira looked at Agudo with disbelief ... he still believed that her helping Kheldar was personal? She shook her head, brushing strands of auburn hair from her eyes.Don't tell me you still believe that I assisted Kheldar solely to spite you, Archmage; surely even you know me better than that!If you think Keldorn taking my voice is a better punishment, then you ARE a naive fool. The loss of my voice would be death, Agudo...and I've yet too much else to do. I can't allow that to happen."Khaira paused and followed Agudo until she was only a short distance away."Someday, Agudo, you might awaken and come to the realization that my actions in Hillsfar with Kheldar had nothing to do with you. You might awaken to the knowledge that everything that I did that day had nothing to do with anyone that was there ... no one except me.I know you probably don't believe that, and Keldorn probably refuses to believe that, but that choice's up to the both of you.And, no Agudo, the past can never be forgotten for its importance."Khaira turned then, beginning to move away from Agudo, pausing only to call over her shoulder to the fading figure of the Archmage"I pray that, if we ever meet again, you won't yet hold such bitterness or convoluted perceptions of your memories ... Walk in the Light, Agudo."</blockquote>
