"Because I wanted to try and find something in this world that would convince the King to spare it." He said. "I did my best to cloak your village..But I made a mistake." He said sadly "To repay their kindness I left them with a gift, A treasure of the Court. The Knight could smell the treasure I had left and used it to find them." |

"So you mean to tell me...," Tsuru began, "...that the entire reason that they died...," he went on, his tone becoming more pointed, "...is because of you. Because you chose to use them as your camouflage, and then you made a mistake. An entire village died, my parents died, because of you..." Despite the fact that he had not moved a step, his hands were clenched into trembling fists as an internal struggle raged. |

"I chose nothing, I fell to this world wounded, crippled." He said "They took me in out of kindness." He said. "The gift I gave them was a seed from the gardens of the Court, A seed that would grow a tree that would always have fruit, A single fruit that could nourish a man for an entire day." "They were suffering from a famine, and yet they took a wounded stranger in and tended to my injures as though I was one of them." |

Tsuru took a deep breath and relaxed his hands, unclenching his fists. "So I suppose you had something to do with these talents of mine?," he asked, beckoning at the shield of roots that had arisen to protect him. "And with a barrier, forced upon my memories?," he asked, moving his left hand up and placing two fingers upon his temple. "Why? Why go to such great lengths to hide it? Why all of this tampering and meddling?" |

"Your power came from you parents, They had some small ability as many humans do, But it awakened in you because of me." He said. "As for the barrier...I was trying to protect you." He said "You had lost so much, and I hopped that if you had no knowledge that you would live a peaceful life..But it sounds as though it backfired and made things more difficult for you." He got down on his knees bowing low "I know it will do nothing to alleviate the pain that has brought into your life, But I will not resist if you chose to kill me." He spoke in a soft accepting tone. "Cut me down however you wish." |

Tsuru shook his head with an almost comical grin. "You all truly know nothing of humans. Infants seldom retain memories of their early childhood. Had you left well enough alone, it is likely I never would've recalled those events. Instead, the barrier caused me untold stress...sleepless nights spent doubting and questioning myself...and when it was breached...rage such as I have never known...," he spoke calmly and in an even tone, but his right hand was clenched in a trembling fist, while his left was open and still. "I will not deny that there is a burning desire in my heart to kill you and every other of your kind...," he began, "...even you and that rebellious 'Queen'..." He paused for a moment. "...However...," he started again, looking down on Valerian, "you saved my life once before, which means I am indebted to you. And so I will spare yours. A life for a life. That debt is settled," he said, exhaling deeply. "Besides, you are the only living creature with a memory of my parents, and I would know more of them than how they died. And you know much of my enemies, which I would also know. Beginning with Terrakion and the other Knights." |

"It is true I know little of you kind, I remember the moment my life began." Valerian said "A longer time than you could ever try to comprehend, I have seen the births and deaths of entire worlds. But I have never taken part with any of them." "As for you parents they were the among the kindest I have ever meet, No human since showed the same gentleness and compassion as them." He smiled softly "Willing to give everything to a stranger." "As for the Knight the one you seek now, Terrakion a stupid and brutish thug devoid of any of the honor his siblings claim. He is driven only by the basest of desires." Valerian shook his head "He view humans as playthings and as meals...I have been trying to stop him but I am no warrior and the men who he has called to his side wield enough of his power that they can fight me off." He explained. "Had I not blinded myself so many years ago I might be strong enough." |

"Any kindness and compassion I once held has long since been burned away by the fires of conflict," he said flatly. But Tsuru looked mildly surprised. "I assumed your blindness was a charade. What possible reason could you have for blinding yourself?" |

"As a small atonement for what happened to your village." He stated "I went back to your father and took the blade from his hands and slice my own eyes shut." He lifted the blindfold showing a long scar across his face. "I felt that I deserved some sort of pain and punishment." |

"...So rather than hunting down those responsible for the murders...you turned to self-mutilation...," Tsuru said. "I have neen told you are capable of shapeshifting a healing...could you not heal the wounds, or shift to a form with working eyes?" |
