Liars, Thieves, and Cowards

And those who have no honor.

You of ill feelings and ill thoughts.

You with no true friends or family.

You take what is not yours.

You tell your own blood you care.

You use them to your own ends and discard them later.

Then you run with your tail between your legs.

Your days are numbered, the same as your days.

Your family is on a steady decline because of you.

I will continue to do what I can for them, but not because of you.

Because it is Right. Because it is what should and must be done.

Because there are those of us who remember what the Gypsies of Dagliano and Crocevia Fatuae were like before Balryn Delcroux showed his face here.

So continue to hide, coward. Your presence is not wanted. We are better now without you. The town and your family both.

I would heartily agree on most things, but I'm not the one without family eh Eli?

I haven't been running, nigh there would be no need to not run from a place I never knew. I would more indeed laugh that you think I'm a coward for fearing something in the land, for it is not within the land but the heart which is fearful. Indeed the lands of Crocevia are just a place of mystery. Of course I don't think Mystery would show his face here.... but you have little regard for that dreaming.

My family is as strong as it ever was. Just because you met a few of us in a strange little town doesn't mean we're gone. Yasmay's death was fortold by many threats and while I have no loss there, I know her blood was that of real shade being spilled. Her words will be remembered far longer than the figment that took them from us.

Indeed, for if the lands of Crocevia would slay someone as benign as Yasmay... I have no need to ask any of my brethren to walk there. It was never safe to begin with and the crossroads have ceased. Cowards are those who allow necromancers and chaos to run amok... simply choosing to become bitter over the actions of

>>>Because there are those of us who remember what the Gypsies of Dagliano and Crocevia Fatuae were like

Actually, you should reread the history books or ask someone who actually remembers the gypsies Eli. You have little understanding of them. But then again, I would take that to hold true for most dark elves.

Hmmm......Brox think you two need put down war items and magic, then get in big ring, put wet leather on hands and smack eachother. after time you see this smacking thing stupid, just like bickering as little calf want soft bed. Fight to survive not cause you CAN fight.
 
Brox,

I agree. I don't know why Eli has suddenly decided to cause these dreams to become anguished again. I haven't seen his face or visited wherever he is in months. I don't even know why he thinks I'm hiding as my family is not in the area and without family there, I have little reason to deal with the politics of local gaje who I've never met.

I understand that some of them decided to take the life of our bandoleer in compensent for actions which they hold me accountable for, but I have no need to squabble anymore. Yasmay was the only blood I had there and now her blood is gone, the fact that necromancers are still wandering the realm and that stories of her undeath have reached me are somewhat disturbing. As customary, for a year and a day I subjected myself to the various politics of an unjust world that doesn't even exist anymore. With stories of her death I am sure that the threats were all too real and that she should have heeded my warnings not to return. That anyone would take her life to settle a score with my own, is folly.

I find it somewhat ironic that in a place of dreams, that so many souls are looking for someone such as myself to return to a place that obviously had disagreement with me. For the few I call friend, I kept them alive... for the many I called my enemy, I left them to their own. For the few such as Yasmay I called family, I gave them heartfelt warning and in the blindness of innocence they lost thier lives.

I do not share such blind innocence. If someone wishes to fight me, I'm more than willing to show them what the Kilsana have to offer.

Interesting

"And those who have no honor."

Such as those who forsake their heritage, Eli?

"You of ill feelings and ill thoughts."

And what, pray tell, is this little outburst?

"You with no true friends or family."

You would speak for all of us then? You know nothing of us, of our bond.

"You take what is not yours."

As do you, as do we all.

"You tell your own blood you care."

What passes between the blood is for the blood alone. You are not of the blood.

"You use them to your own ends and discard them later."

As do you, as do we all, in our fashion. Do you not understand our ways are different than yours? Do you even remember your ways?

"Then you run with your tail between your legs."

Interesting you speak of tails.... Interesting and ironic.

"Your days are numbered, the same as your days."

Well, I guess his nights are safe then.

"Your family is on a steady decline because of you."

Actually, there are more of us now. But how would a Gaje know that, unless told?

"I will continue to do what I can for them, but not because of you.
Because it is Right. Because it is what should and must be done."

I don't understand... are you bitching or bragging? We all do what we can, and service is its own reward.

"Because there are those of us who remember what the Gypsies of Dagliano and Crocevia Fatuae were like before Balryn Delcroux showed his face here."

There are those of us that remember what it was like before you showed yours as well... who is to say which disturbed the tranquility here first?

"So continue to hide, coward. Your presence is not wanted. We are better now without you. The town and your family both."

As far as the town goes, say what you like... but do not presume to speak for our kin. You may think you know us, but you are just deluding yourself.

So, now that that can is opened... Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

And Eli, if you think I'm truly running from some form of justice or if you think I walk without my head held high, if you think I do not have honor....

Just remember-

If whatever words you think Yasmay... or the dark entity which chose to wear her skin was true- if you honestly thought Yasmay thought wrong of my actions or of any actions our family took at any time... if she thought that our debt to this place should be our lives....

All she had to was ask for it. She was my bandoleer and my sister. My blade was her's to control both by my duty and by my heart. I would have proudly given my life to be used as she needed, for I loved her and would have walked upon any hardship she asked of me.

If you want to compare honor and family, I suggest you look at your own skin.

Should you feel the need to actually say something meaningful to me in person, you know where to find me.
