Cait merely looks at you, the grabs you up by the front of your shirt and gets nose to nose with you...

Stop you say? You want to whine and bitch about how the world is against you when your goddamned life was saved and you tell me to stop?! I think not...

she flicks a hand, time starting again as a soft shimmer heralds a portal, your mother stepping out... she takes in everything around, eyes lighting on the other Shanna... words are exchanged and Morrigan spies the necklace... but when Auxky tells Morrigan of what happened, the grief in your mother's eyes turns into seven shades of ache and anger... for the first time Morrigan turns her back on her daughter, leaving her there to remember what has been done, Auxky following...

time speeds up in a hazy blur.. stopping at 6 years down the road... Morrigan has come back to the cave, now clean of the hoarde... her hair is threaded with silver and her eyes have lost the gleam in them... she wears the necklace around her neck, with the one he made for her what seems like a lifetime ago, his ring still on her left hand. She is unarmed, save for the Honor Blade in her hand... she wanders around the cave, knowing Auxky has moved on with his life and relocated his hoarde elsewhere away from the painful memory...

Morrigan begins to speak, telling no one about the years she spent searching for him, hoping that the wraiths had just dropped him in another plane of existance as he had been before the accident... that she hadn't been able to look at Shanna since without feeling an overwhelming anger and disappointment in her...

"Why didn't she listen... she was always so goddamed stubborn... I don't know m'love... perhaps she received her powers too early in life and wasn't ready for them... perhaps it was her destiny to kill her father... but, I'm tired, I've searched through every plane of existence looking for you, I even begged Mor to search Annwn... when she found a remnant of a spirit that held your essential signature, my heart plummeted... and for what - all because of Shanna's inexperience and.... I'm coming home, My Heart..."

in a flick of her wrist, the Honor Blade is unsheathed and flicked across her wrist... the cave dims to black and Cait turns back to you...

do you still want to believe that you are the victim here, Shannon Alura MacLeod Van'Yer? Because you are not. YOU made a choice, like all adults are prone to. You are 15 years old, and at 15 years old, you succeeded in making your mark on the world by killing your father - something that none had been else to do prior... not even an ReD Robed Mage with at least 20 times the knowledge you have now.
