Details of the melee` in Halifax I will withhold, for suffice it to say, that Ciro, myself, Kain, Quinn and both girls escaped alive. Thanks to Quinn, a safer land was at last reached.
I know not what has become of the Princess, for I care little any longer. Ciro of course went off on his bloody treasure hunt, and I, went off to find a Druid temple.
So it was, our motley crew disbanded and each went on their own way. I do believe Kain lost his mind, or his soul, or both on the voyage.
At any rate, a few months later, I had found my way where I needed to be, and my second son was born.
I remember no more than his thatch of black hair and pink face,for I could not bear to hold him knowing I had to leave him behind.
I left him his name, and the charm of a cricket so that he might know something of where he came from. I gave him the name Arcolin, after his father.
The time after I left the temple was a dark one. I do not recall much of where I went, or what I did. I know I wound up on the seashore, near Rose, and that I stayed at the cottage near the lighthouse for awhile.
Khaless would find me on the beach one day..I know not how much longer afterward. It was a surprising meeting, but as he did not kill me, I suppose one could say it went well.
His ogre however, did eat my horse, part of which he ...and the most painful part..his new nephew..ate in front of me.
Eiradium is the boys name..and by the Gods he does resemble Trevor so much that it makes me ache to look at his face.
It hurt a great deal at first..but has become easier over time. I do not let myself grow very close..for he is not my son, and I understand the danger..but I have followed the boy and Khaless to Skullport, and here I will remain until I can find a way to remove my madness from Khaless.
It poisons him like venom, and oozes from his pores like sour mash. I know not what horrors he has done..but I smell them upon his skin, and I fear for not only Khaless, but myself and the boy at times as well.
I have decided thus, to stay with Khaless..with the boy..and do what I can for the Drow that did so much for me.
I have been here several months now..and longing for the sunshine, I have arranged for a portal from topside to the rear of the tavern.
It gives me opportunity to see the world and sky above, and also to show Eiradium that there is more to life than the dank, dark streets of Skullport.
