~(Sigh) You have come far, Bhaalspawn, but it is my obligation to stop you from what you are about to do with my liege lord's heart.~

==RChloeJ~Hold a moment, <CHARNAME>. That's no mere warrior, he is Yr'kai, though one I am unfamiliar with.~
==RCMasem~Another Yr'kai... it has been too long since I have stood on a battlefield with one of my brethren. A pity we find ourselves on opposing sides.-
=~I hope at least you are aware of whom you serve, girl.~
==RChloeJ~I am fully aware and <PRO_HESHE> has earned my loyalty. This is a most unfortunate turn of events, but one we must face honorably.~
==RCMasem~Indeed. We rarely know the measure of our patron until blood has been shed. But an oath is an oath.~
=~I am Masemeron out of Brenna of Yr'kai-Shen-Do.~
==RChloeJ~Our gods weep when brother and sister shed each other's blood, but they understand it is at times necessary. *sighs*~
=~I am Chloe out of Akadia of Yr'kai-Razin-Do. I will bear your swords honorably to Shen-do's Great Hall after this is all finished.~
==RCMasem~Hmph. Confident, just like a true... wait. Akadia? No... this tragedy is all the more bitter.~
=~It is my seed from which you sprung, Chloe. I am your father.~
==RChloeJ~What? Then why? Why is this the first time we meet? Why did you... abandon me?~
==RCMasem~I did not even know you existed. There was a moot in Yr'kai-Do followed by a great revelry.~
=~I was among the warriors being honored for my deeds. During the revelry there was this woman... your mother.~
=~The most beautiful woman I had ever seen... eyes like lightning. I was deep in my cups and she was a force of nature.~
=~As the light of dawn approached her true nature became apparent. She smiled at me and then in a gust of wind was gone.~
=~I was never quite sure if it was simply too much mead, or if what I had experienced happened. But... here you are.~
==RChloeJ~Word never reached you of a daughter of Akadia? I find that difficult to believe.~
==RCMasem~It doesn't matter now. We have a sworn duty to fight to the death. Don't complicate matters, child.~
==RChloeJ~My entire village was wiped out, everyone I knew and loved lies dead.~
=~And now I am to slay my own father moments after meeting him?~
==RCMasem~It is our way. Remember, as long as even a single Yr'kai survives, we survive. Let us end this.~
==RChloeJ~Please, don't make me do this. Break your vow. I've lost almost everything, don't make me lose you too.~
==RCMasem~And now you learn your final lesson. Honor is sacrifice, and sacrifice is love.~
==RChloeJ~Your honor means more to you than your life?~
==RCMasem~Of course. I am Yr'kai, as are you.~
==RChloeJ~And it means more than sparing me the pain of another loss? I mean so little to you?~
==RCMasem~One of us will feast in Lathandar's Great Hall tonight. You will understand someday. Let us begin.~
==RChloeJ~*sighs* You stubborn bastard. So be it.~
