"SO..." RAOR LEANS towards me and... takes my face. Heavens, he... is he smiling? "I would be a male Elf?"

I nod vigorously. Yes, well... he realized he had blatantly insulted his race thinking he was mocking me. But, heavens, he is not angry at me.

"You're terrible." He wipes away a tear and starts to dry my face. "Liar and jerk. But I did worse, I destroyed the love that was between us and left you completely alone to face slavery."

"If you remembered... you would give me a reason," I whisper and bite my lips. "I don't deserve your forgiveness."

He seems patient. Sure in a way he never was before, and devastated at the same time. "You wanted to kill me, but you didn't."

"Because I don't want to lose you," I say with a broken voice.

"Gaz. You see me calm but inside..." He touches his heart. "Inside something is happening. Maybe I'm breaking into a thousand pieces or maybe, finally, I'm connecting all the blessed dots." No, I would say he is about to collapse. "Before, I was wrong, it's not true that this life has been a lie. I lived it for real. I can't know what it means to be a king, but I know what it means to be a warrior. It's a mess, one wrong thing after another. But it's my life." From melancholy, he passes to anger and from that to unexpected pride. It's a cauldron of emotions that will make him explode. "I am Raor, a lost knight raised by the Exiled Fairies and Faoi of Galodah, king of all Reptiles. No more sacrifices. You protected who you could. You suffered, you fell, and you got back up. You didn't do everything wrong, Holy Dragons. Here the only unforgivable ones are the Fallen."
