<<"I am to bring you back to Gavin. I am not going to do that. Instead I am
here to warn you. If I go back and tell him you are dead, he will know I am
lying. The ring on your finger let's him know that. So, I will not go back.
I have disowned him.>>
Siri nods grimly, knowing what it meant to having disobeyed Gavin's word. How
much fear that could evoke and how much suffering it usually entailed all too
well."If I had a roof, you'd be welcome under it Andre. You'll not be
holdless or unwelcome should you stay by my side. We're family in a twisted little
way and I'll do what I can to help shelter you from him as well. You are too
good a man to have his name. And too goood to live plagued by his shadow. I'll
take care of this, I promise.I just need to be a bit stronger still."
"I've thought a good many times about what to do about the ring, but the only
answers were to find one to dispell it or cut it off. That's why I came to
Parlainth, my boy. I figured it was a good place to either come upon a good
amount of coin to pay a wizard with or die and be done with this all together."
"But you shouldn't have come down here! I know he's having me followed, I've
already dealt with some of that. And I know the risks I took in coming down
here quite well. You've still have a life to liveAndre. I want you to live it,
not get tangled any further in this mess."
"Find a young lady, take your coin and start a family somewhere far away from
Jerris. Your happiness alone will defeat him. And by the birth of your first
children I swear he'll be face down in a shallow grave and never haunt you,
your mother or I again."
<<"I would challenge him even though he is my father, but knowing him and
what power he posesses he would easily defeat me. So, I will leave and not
return. He will be upset, and know that you are still alive. He will come after
you Siri. Even after sending others out to get you, he will eventually do it
himself if he has to.>>
"Let him! I've named a dagger with which to slit his throat already!" She
had, not that she had the power enough behind it to strike him down as of yet.
She was grossly undermatched when it came to facing her husband, but ferocity
alone had to count for something.
<<"This is why I am here, to warn you Siri, to be on your best guard. I wish
it was happier circumstances. I wish I could tell you that you are free of
him. I'm sorry that I could not to better." With that he looks down at the
ground, a sad look on his face.>>
Siri sighs, taking Andre's hands in hers. "My son, you're a treasure." Siri
says to the man that must be just as old as she is. "Please don't be sad.
You've already done more for me then anyone ever has and I can never rain enough
thank yous and blessings on your brow for it."
"Come and sit. Meet the others or rest if you need to. This area seems to be
well enough protected."
"Lyra, Grendahl, it is good to see you again! We knew that you'd be safe. And
now, perhaps, we'll be safer knowing that you came down here so therefore
there must be a way back up. "
"You see, Andre. You bring good news and rescue again." She squeezes his hand
one last time then lets him go to do as he would. She was joyed to see him
truly, but knew that as devious as Gavin was he knew that Andre would double
cross him a second time. There'd be trouble coming up onto the streets of Haven
again and she had to begin preparing.
