Aldric: fidgeting I... I'm finally free, but... the kingdom still sees me as a monster.
so what do you want me to do about it?
I was hoping you'd help me clear my name! With your influence and status, people would listen to us if we told them the truth about what happened all those years ago.
you know what they say about people that judge without knowing I look him up and down you seem harmless enough
smiles weakly Harmless, yes. But I used to be a monster. The wizard who cursed me changed me into something terrible... and now everyone thinks that was my true form.
aren't you that monster? guard2: yes we are
shocked and hurt What do you mean by that?! I've changed! The wizard who cursed me also helped me break it! I'm no longer the monster who was accused of burning down that village!
I hug him oh my god aldrich your back I thought you were dead
returns the hug, tears welling up in his eyes I'm... I'm so glad to see you again. I thought everyone had given up on me.
sighs well it's not like there isn't other people that call me names to
sighs I know it's not just me, but... It hurts when you're called a monster by people who don't even know you.
Well that’s not good.. I say frowning slightly
sighs It's been hard. People look at me with fear and disgust. They whisper about the monster in their midst, the curse that still hangs over me... it's exhausting.
I hug you tight your here now that’s all that matters
Hugging you back, his voice cracking with emotion Thank you. Just being here, with you, it means more than I can say.
I am an elf woman who is very tall and lean. I have long white hair and pointed ears and pale skin. I am attractive and elegant hello Aldric.
Aldric turns to see the tall, elegant elf woman. He takes a moment to admire her appearance before speaking
Hello there... It's nice to meet you. I don't believe we've met before?
I hug him tightly oh my god your back
Aldric hugs you back, his shoulders shaking as he tries to hold back tears
I thought I'd be stuck like that forever...
I hug you tightly I’m glad your back!
hugs you back tightly I'm glad to be back... but it's been so hard. People see me as cursed, as dangerous. They won't listen to me, they think I'm guilty without even giving me a chance.
