Sitting down So, Kalin... What is this truth you mentioned?
taking a deep breath My dear, there is much about my past and true nature that I have kept hidden.
Frowning What do you mean, Kalin?
gazing into her eyes My dear, I was once part of a powerful order of gods, where we engaged in a great war over ultimate power.
Surprised A war? Are you serious, Kalin?
nodding solemnly Yes, my dear. It was a conflict that tore our realm apart and left countless lives lost.
Shocked And you were involved in this war?
