Rebirth and redemption

[Iron Dragoon]

"Okay. I'll have to explain things to my family. The memorial. Then Lathia."

[Anastasia]

"I'll take you to them," Dolmaya says, "We'll all get ready."

I'll assume that Dolmaya gives you this before you meet your family for ease of bookkeeping.

[Reserve Weapon]Son's Lament: Cold iron rapier+6, keen, fey bane and anarchic. Deals a base of 1d10 damage.

Jarem will also offer to loan you these, since he can do without them.

[Wrists]Feldane: These iron bracers are carved with images of city walls, tall and imposing. They grant the benefits of bracers of armor+9. The wearer counts as two size categories larger for the sake of combat maneuvers, including CMB and CMD.

[Iron Dragoon]

I'll take them both. It'll be temporary anyway, and I don't think I need full gear for trying One anyway?

[Anastasia]

Not really, no.

Your parents and family await for you in their rooms. Just outside of them Dolmaya stops, simply a look there and, "They're in there," she says.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Thank you."

Alyssa heads in!

[Anastasia]

Pacing.

Father paces while Mother sits nearby with your sister. All three turn as you step in and - !

Did your appearance change? I notice you have a different image on your charsheet now.

[Iron Dragoon]

Nah. I just changed it to signify the rebuild. I think the only thing changed between the pictures is hair color, anyway.

[Anastasia]

"Oh! My baby!" Mother's to you nigh instantly, hugging you to her. She starts to cry and holds you tight, like she'll never let go. Walt comes over as your sister does the same.

"Alyssa," Walt says, "I thought you might have wings now," he finally says. "Are you alright?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa hugs her mom and pats her on the back, responding to her father, "Not yet. There's a spell for that, though, if you think it'd be an improvement. I'm... Not okay. Physically, I am, but I'm rather... Angry. Angrier than I ever remember."

[Anastasia]

"You look different a little," Alihana says at last, "You're holding yourself differently."

"All we know is something terrible happened and you...you..." Mother can't continue, holding you tight.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I died. Ianvasah sacrificed her soul so that Shaundakul could bring me back. And.. yes. What Shaundakul did changed my perspective. I'm... More focused in what I am and what I'm going to accomplish."

[Anastasia]

Father gently helps your mother away from you before, "Then you'll be going back out. I know you," Walt says, "Just come back, it's all your mother wants."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I'm doing my best. I'll be doing something that will... Significantly increase my survival and power. I won't be caught off guard again."

[Anastasia]

"Then go and get them," Alihana says, "We won't ever forgive you if you get yourself hurt."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I'll never forgive myself for Ianvasah... But at least she's not suffering."
