I have something to tell you all, and some of you might not believe me.

[Valdis' voice is hesitant, halting and uncertain]

There are very few of us left, it seems, who remember Malicant's reign or the atrocities committed by his followers. The death, the taint, the drugs and the suffering inflicted upon foreigner and Kedan alike is unknown to all of our newcomers. But this isn't just about that.

[A long pause, followed by an audible breath]

I have recently discovered that Milyn, the Cherrywood Healer, was involved with the Cultists. She reported directly to Daseng and created the drug known as Dust, as well as the base for Lucid.

[Another pause and then a low growl.]

She was our only ally among the Kedan when we first returned from the Dreaming, she aided us in defeating Malicant...but she also helped him wreak his havoc in the first place.

[Another growl]

I don't know about all of you, but I can't trust her anymore.

Dust and Lucid are both drugs that screw with the mental and emotional states of an individual. So, no, not helpful.

[purrns]

[WELP. That answers that question. ]

Did she know it would do that to people...I mean, I'm guessing so if she made it but- I don't know, was she made to do it ?

[redlightgreenlight]

The purpose of the drugs was clear to her and, from my understanding, she did it of her own free will.

[purrns]

[He's trying his best to see REASON here, something beyond just trying to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. ]

Then why help us at all? If she was working with that Malicant guy, I mean? That doesn't make any sense.

[redlightgreenlight]

I didn't get a chance to ask...Perhaps she will tell you.

[purrns]

Okay, I'll ask. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation to all of this.

[redlightgreenlight]

I hope so...

[purrns]

Only one way to find out, I guess.

I hope no one gives you too much trouble over this.

[redlightgreenlight]

I'm used to being disliked.

[purrns]

That doesn't make it okay.

[redlightgreenlight]

Perhaps not, but people will feel how they feel and you can't change that, so don't worry about it.

[Another kid with too sweet for this kind of place, so much for Eva's magic having a type]

[purrns]

I guess.

[Doesn't mean he likes it any. He has a terminal case of seeing and wanting the best in people. ]

If you need help with any of this, let me know. I'll do what I can.
