In reply to: Z'yith - Aosuth 's message, "- -" on 23:04:28 04/04/02 Thu

As if she could sense the queen's thought, Kyssandra bit back a low snarl, catching herself in the act...it wouldn't have made a bit of difference to her if she had Impressed blue...being a renegade would have only made things easier for them, as Aosuth wouldn't have needed to rise. Crimson streaked up her cheeks slightly in the form of a blush as she turned to Sauth.
-Sauth...this...is all new to me...-
:I...don't know how to help you,: Sauth floundered, and inwardly Kyssandra groaned at her lifemate's innability to help in this case.
She could elaborate too, though, and although her monologue of sorts was supposed to be fore S'sha, it was in fact turned more to Z'yith. She'd never told him anything about her past, and it wasn't a pleasant topic.

"I grew up in Ruatha Hold," she started out, eyes darting to Z'yith whenever her confidence rose. This wasn't for S'sha at all, anymore at this point. All others in the room were now nonexistant. "Mother of Iana, father of Clerik. I had brothers...and sisters. I had...a family." Swallowing an invisible lump, she continued. "When I was...twelve...a man attacked our holding. He wasn't a renegade, he was drunk and it was late." At this point, Sauth offered up her confidence in her rider. :I know all about you; I wouldn't have chosen you if you weren't a good person,: the green crooned.

"He killed my father; my mother and siblings ran. He cornered me and my firelizard, Urt, slammed into him. My little brown'd given up his life to save me. I grabbed an earthenware pot and slammed it into his head." At this point silent tears began to streak down her cheeks, she was locked into the memory she'd never told anyone before. "He was bleeding, everywhere..." A large sob escaped her throat and she leaned on Sauth's shoulder for comfort. "I ran. I don't know if I killed him. I still don't know. I ran away to Ruatha main, and I was engaged to a minor holder by one of the Lord Holder's stewards, who said he was my friend. I was only 17. I stole him blind and shrank into the anonymity of a pickpocket, when I heard of the Renegades. I'd given up on...everything..." She didn't mention that chief amongst those things was being with a person who loved her...she'd tell Z'yith of her feelings later...but not in front of S'sha. It was as if a wire had snapped and the goldrider was back in the room.
:Kyssandra...you've never told that to anyone before.: Sauth murmured in amazement.
-Oh yeah? How long've you been around, some months or so?-
:I know,: Sauth said quietly.
-I'm sorry, Sauth.-
:I know.:
