I summoned Titan, a being of Earth, to destroy them...and then I blacked out. When I awoke, one of those soldiers from Baron was still with me, at an inn. He tried to speak with me, but I remembered all too well what he had done. Even though he hadn't meant to do it, my entire life had been ripped away from me because of him. So, I said nothing.

...and then, Baronian soldiers stormed in, to finish what was started. They would have killed me, were it not for that one soldier. He...he fought his own men, turned his back on everything else, to save me.

...

He did?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

Yes. After that, he couldn't go back home even if he wanted to do so. Seeing that...I finally decided to trust him. If he could prevent such a tragedy from happening elsewhere, I wanted to be there to help him do it.

[There's a long silence on Raine's end while she thinks that over.]

Forgiving him wasn't easy, even in light of what he did to protect me. In fact, it was one of the hardest things I ever did. But...Queen Asura said it best. 'The wheels of a fate greater than us all are turning now. We must stand against it...and we must stand together.'

Something greater than us...

Thank you, Rydia. I'll think about that.

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

I'm glad. I know it's not easy to consider, but...I think Asura's words apply to this world, too.

She's a wise woman.
