"I had enough of people trying to destroy the kingdom we had worked so hard to build and we moved the DDM to Ameris a neighboring land to my birth land of Basptista. This land was different and changed both me and the DDM forever. It was here I learned of my second family, what a Keeper was, and that some things are the same no matter where you go. I was still reeling from the loss of Dreams which hurt to admit but she had been a part of my life for many years. I again began to try and fill her place in my heart and over and over again I fell for women who wanted nothing more then power. Aurora, Nuanace, and Serenity Rose to name a few. Tis still strikes me as funny the one thing I couldn't give Shy so many years ago was the one thing I could give to any woman instantly now, yet now it was impossible for me to find the love my heart longed for."
He closes his hands over the orb momentarily stopping the pictures from flashing and looks to you wondering if you are understanding anything he is saying.
"I just wanted to find happiness and the harder I tried the worse things got for me. My vision became clouded and I was unable to protect myself. It got so bad that my kids were put in danger because I fell in love with a woman (Izabeau Tremayne) who was my mortal enenmies own daughter. She infiltrated my kingdom, my bed, and was working on my heart. I was so trusting still. I just wanted to be happy and I don't think I even knew what happiness was at this point in life. You can't find what you what if you don't know what you want my friend."
You swear his eyes are filled with tears but his hands are removed from the Orb and the pictures continue.
"If not for my children I may very well have given up everything. If a woman told me they loved me I married them. Not out of love but because I didn't wish to make others hurt as I did inside. Basically I married both Rachele and Katari Bruiele for this very reason. I gave them whatever they wanted and still I was not happy, but this would change over time."
The Orb stops flashing and he walks around almost pacing his hands frantically waving about as he talked.
"It took two events to show me the truth as to what this world is really like and they changed me. It was about this time my mother Ayanna informed me that I was a Keeper of Ameris and that I had special powers from birth but they had been binded by her and my brother Khristos to protect me. I learned to hate my mother. No mother should lie to their child or let them go through life thinking they are someone other then who they really are. She was no better then some of the mothers I protected my children from."
"The second event happened while Jasmine was en route back to Ameris from visiting a friend in Josan. She was attacked by assassins and lay bleeding to death. She was close to death when I arrived and I did the only thing I could think of, I called down the very gods who had been tormenting me all these years and begged for my daughters life. I had spent my entire life defying them and mocking their exsistance and here I was now begging them to save Jasmine. They agreed under one condition that I make a trip and learn exactly how bad I had become, how clouded my judgement had become I agreed without question.
