\--==Official Submission==-- FROM: General Debinani Rahl RE: Chapter Fifteen - The Life of a Daemon The Life of a Daemon - Aragos' Story ...And so i stand hereon the top of a lighthouse in the new lands. Thinking of what has transpired over the last few months. I stand here lokking over the cliff, down to the crashing waves below. I see the turmoil that the waves bring in, and how it resembles what has happened. I cannot tell everything of my past, for i do not remember it all. From what i remember, i was a troubled child. I do not know why i always didbad and evil things, but i know i always ended them. My mother loved me, but shecould'nt control me. She was left with no choice but to me up to the monks ofthe Empath Abbey. While there i learned respect, and discipline. I learned to love back thepeople who loved me. Eventually i had to leave the monks to begin my life. Butstill i had evil urges, and i never knew why. I didnt always overcome them, and it got me into a little trouble when i began my life. But i did turn it around after a while. While living i found ihad found that i had a talent for the arcane arts. I also taught myself quite wellin the use of a crossbow. I felt my skills were not being put to good use, untili was drafted by a loose bunvh of mercs that called themselves The Black Rose Society. While serving with these roses, i met a wonderful young lady by thename of Thorengelda. Over time i found that i had feelings for her, Eventually i learned the she had feelings for me. It was theses feelings that saved me frommy own prison. When for the first time that i met my father, i ws mortified to see it was adeamon. The beast seduced my mother, and from this came me. This is where all myevil came from. It was my deamon side trying to surface, but my good side madeit lay dormant. Until HE showed up. My father showed up to tell Me that it wastime take my place by his side. He said whether or not i choose to, i will behis. I do not remeber much of the following weeks, but i will go of the reportsi heard of my actions. I heard that i went on a rampage. That alot of the times my eyes where filledwith blood, and didnt know where i was, or what i was doing. I was doing thingsthat if i were in my right mind, i would have never done. Like murdering, andattacking my friends. When i heard that my father came after my friend LazarusShade, i knew that he would not give up, and i would be his. I had to come to atough decision. I knew giving into him was the only way. In doing this, it wouldaccomplish two things. For one it would buy me some time, for two it got meclose to him to find a weakness. I found that weakness. I t was hisoverconfidence.He would blindly go into a fight, even when the odds were greatlyagainst him. This came true when under his direct control, i was told to killLazarus Shade for treachery. Unfortunatly i had no choice but to attack him, but while attacking him, icame to my senses for a short time. Enough time, however, to stop attacking, andto tell my father that i would not kill my friend. I was quikly slapped downbymy father. He hit me so hard that i was knocked out. When i awoke, i found myfather dead, and an entire unit of Black roses standing above him. But i wasstill under his influence. I ran to his body, sobing for him. I arose to my feetand cryed out "everyone shall pay". This is when the feelings saved my from myprison. It took the love of one person to bring me out. That person wasThorenGelda. But even after this, i was still not free from hell. As if something wasstill holding on to me. THrough all this, my relationship grew with Gel quitewell. We knew we were meant for each other. But it was'nt until a littleincident most recently that we knew this to be true. On a day most recently, for some reason, i was drawn to the Halls of Justicein Yew. When i went there, i found Gelda there, waiting for me. She knew i was coming. After a brief embrace, she brought out of her pocket. It was a ball of crystal in a crimson hue. Where she acquired this i do not know, but i felt its prescence. SHe told me that i must crush this. I was hesitant at first, but eventually i did crush it. At the time it was crushed, it exploded, and shotinto me. I felt i was whole, and free from my hell. My soul was now complete,and it was because Geldas soul was now apart of mine. Two became one. There wasonly one more thing to do after this. I got down on one knee, and proposed toher. She accepted, and know we are on our way to being together in soul, and inbody. ...And so i stand her on the top of the lighthouse. I cannot tell everythingof my past, for i do not remember all of it, but i can tell you what my futurewill be. "Live as one, fight as one"
