Chapter Text
As I sat on the edge of the fountain, I looked down into the water to see my life represented by a nothing more than a flower connected to my lifeline. I finally felt at home. With my family, well my moonshadow friends were my family, but just knowing that I'm finally welcome back here, back home, I feel free and yet somehow I still had a restricted feeling. A feeling that I was still shut out and that I didn't belong there with all these restrictions holding me back.
Whilst I was gone, there had been a lot of changes. Changes to houses, and rules. I couldn't do much, I couldn't even leave this place without having one or two of the upper-class fighters by my side at all times.
With dusk soon to be upon us, I thought this would be the perfect time to plan an escape. They guard the door as they think all the windows are properly bordered up, but there's one window they don't know about. Later on I snuk down to the basement and waited for the right moment, then broke the wood to the window, smashed the glass and I ran as fastas i could, faster than a lightning bolt, quicker than any elf before. And that's when I realised I had made the biggest mistake of my life.
I had left Ethari, alone, again. He had Runaan go first and not by choice, and now me. But I.. I've choosen to leave him. My best Xadian friend. I just left him. Just like that. As tears flew down my cheeks, I realised that there was no way I could leave him behind. The only option was to get him and bring him along with me. He might not aprove of humans but at least I haven't left him behind.
