Solrex was ushered outside, and he took the same seat at the porch outside. Looking to the person that spoke to him before going inside, he explained, “I’m a bit tired, but I would like to explain something. While I’ve personally never died, there was someone in my life who did… it would probably leave me in tears just to say her name, so I’ll refrain, but she was a female dryad I loved, that- I failed. I could have healed her, but I miscanted, and I only had one spell slot at the time, I still only have one spell slot. She didn’t have a strong enough spirit to come back through the circle. I decided to invest myself fully into channeling, so I would never miscant again… you know, 3 super simple spell words. I used to be a very extroverted happy guy, but, things scar you and-“
Solrex breathed in deeply, holding back tears, and spoke, “As I was saying, I’m not foreign to the idea of death. But don’t think for a second that I am unfamiliar with it. Because of her death, I vow to never let another person down, I will heal all my friends, and be strong enough to save them all. That’s what I promised to her lifeless corpse. If there is a way to learn Life spells through channeling, I will have a thousand spell slots for that. None of my friends will die!!!”
Solrex slinked into his chair, and quietly sobbed. He knew he was at his limit. He spoke, “That’s all I wanted to share. Say what you will, and then I will take a rest before I go to sleep. If any of you are injured, tell me and I will restore your wounds. That doesn’t just apply to tonight.”
Solrex then paused, and waited to allow others to get a chance to respond to him before he introverted off for the night. He tried his best to hide his tears, but it was plainly obvious. Had he said her name, it would have triggered him to be bawling for the rest of the night, maybe even in the morning.
