DARK PAST, BRIGHT FUTURE
He possesses black soul. He knew it.
Well, he didn't know it for his whole life - but he found it out. It was when his mother - no, his step-mother - casted him away.
And so he left. Left with saddness in his heart - but deep inside, there was hate. He was alone.
* * * * * * *
His home - his former home, as he corrected himself quickly - was destroyed. He walked through the ruins and searched for signs of life. And he found one - young woman, Sillara, was alive.
They found out who was responsible for the death of the villagers. And they found his true origin. Son of the most hateful mage of the whole history. Mage whose name has been banished.
But Sillara looked she doesn't mind. He fell in love with her. It has left him broken when she told him: "You are my dear brother, Tsujatha." Yet he didn't let anyone to see how hurt he was.
Instead, he keep all this hurt for himself, slowly feeding the flames of his hate. Hate for Kan-Terak Seranimesti. For the one who stole Sillara from him in the end.
One day his hate won and he acted like his father. And betrayed his people.
* * * * * * *
He left Gilalion. The look of disbelief in Sillara's eyes when she found out he was traitor just as his father was haunted him.
He travelled through the Spheres. And then he met *him*. That thief Sorkyst who had the nerve to stole his heirdom, the Riosé Sar, from him.
With slowly smile he though that Sorkyst will pay for this.
* * * * * * *
So... this is the sphere where Sorkyst escaped before him. Prime Material. Toril.
So alien place. And so cold and distant moon. But he's not alone now. He has comrades. Their leader, elven woman named Sindal, promised him they will help him. Well, more people promised something to him and broke their promises. But... as strange as it may sound, he trusted her.
She was... beautiful. And she smiled at everyone often. Even on him. Strange - not even Sillara smiled on him so much. She saved her smiles for Kan-Terak, he thought bitterly and cursed.
But what was strange - he begun to curse Kan-Terak less and less. And begun to feel growing affection towards Sindal.
He told her about this. She just smiled at him. And he felt the cold inside of his chest slowly thawing.
* * * * * * *
He finally determined to tell Sindal of his true feeling towards her. He was scared to death she will refuse him. Or worse - tell him she loves him as a brother.
But she didn't refuse. Nor she told him he's like brother to her. No. She loves him. Him! Never before he felt so carefree. She was light - just as he was the moth, attracted to it.
He pledged her his life. He would give his own soul to help her, when Irenicus stole hers. And he swore Irenicus vengeance. Everyone, who ever had hurt, Sindal will pay.
* * * * * * *
She has her soul back. But she almost died while fighting for it. And almost died for him. It warmed his heart that her love for him matched his love for her.
Now they were on the road again. As long as he can be near her he's comfortable with everything.
However, he wants more. Future together with her.
* * * * * * *
She agreed to marry him. Now they're wife and husband. Only one thing is still incomplete - Sindal's fate. Although he tries not to show her his doubts and fear, it's getting harder.
* * * * * * *
He thought he can't be mre happy when she became his wife. But he was mistaken. Never, never can he be more happy than when she refused ascending into godhood and stayed with him.
Now they're together and have children. Two sons and one daughter. His name will continue in this world - just as continue his happines with his love. With Sindal.

Heck no, b - I used the word the way I use things like "twitter", and "iPod" - my first inclination is to ask "what birdcall are you studying?" and I think of "I pod, You (singular) pod, He pods, She pods, They pod, You (plural) pod, We pod..."

It taps well if only briefly into the psyche of Tsujatha, and if you ask me, thats more than enough.
Great work Nefrit

Glad you liked it
Cool, a fic on Tsujatha. Lovely read, a few typos but nothing too overly major. I always love characters with tragic past and a happy ending. I still remember the mod, it was heart wenching when I get the PC ascended epilogue version. Glad, that this one has a happy ending, Yay.
Yup, his mod is wonderful - and my favourite I was unable to ascend when I played his romance. I've just read it when I translated it in setup. file.
