W-where am I?!

What sort of fate has fallen upon me now? I demand to know, where am I and why have I been brought here?

Has the wars stopped? Has the chaos been quelled? Tis not Erion, I know that much, but I do not know why I am here. This is a kingdom of some kind. More or less, a village judging by the houses I see before me.

Where is my clothing? I never wore this type of dress before. I do hope I am in the company of friends and not foes…

Then I'll be sure to give my aid to those who seek freedom.

I hail from...from a kingdom marred in destruction and chaos. Madness and greed is what doomed my people, a combination that has proved to be quite deadly when stirred together with hate and power.

I do hope you are from a peaceful land, Anya. A land isn't reduced to ruins...

We used to be peaceful. Not so much anymore.

Madness, greed, hate, power...? Yep, that all sounds about right. At least the man behind it all has been finally destroyed.

Aye, a story that seems to be universal to all.

Even with the death of the madman behind such a crime, the effects of those wicked deeds linger forever in the hearts of the innocent.

...

That's not an awfully grim way to look at it at all.

Are my words a tad morbid? If so, it is not intentional...my thoughts simply lie elsewhere.

Perhaps instead of thinking of such a somber topic, the both of us to speak of something more cheerful.

Tell me more about yourself, Anya.

Me?

Well, I've had my own fair share of dealing with madness and power. But I was able to settle things in the end.
