"I-I'm sorry, Az, I... I never meant to lead those dragon hunters to us... T-they said they had a way for our town to hide better... They... I was so... I was such an idiot... I shouldn't have listened to them... But... But they, everyone said I could trust them..." he pauses for a minute, wiping a tear off his face, "I shouldn't have broken the rules and left town myself... I... Anyway, they told me to take them to see the people with the most power in our town... I remember everyone being so happy that they didn't have to be as careful anymore... I wish I knew what was going to happen to them all then, maybe I could have done something..." He looks around, checking to see if anyone else was listening, seeing no one- not even you, if you were already there, listening- he turns back to the scale. "I r-remember exactly what aspect of my darkness you were teaching me that day... Shadow portals, would be great right about now if you had finished teaching me... I could portal myself to a high enough place... Maybe the danger that I am to everyone in this world would end with me... Anyway, I remember you were just about to demonstrate it when we saw the first flames over near the town... The fire dragons that lived in Sapien Draconica with us... Brave, but their bravery meant none were left when we got there... Not that it would have mattered anyway, I didn't manage to save any of them, no matter the kind..." He stops for a moment before continuing quieter, his head hanging lower, "I remember seeing my parents... Yelling turned to screams as they fell second to last... That was when they saw us, I think... Would have taken the fatal slice myself if it had meant you could have lived... Wasn't able to get to you in time... I'm... I'm so, so very sorry, Az... You were always the better of us two... I... You taught me how to control my darkness..." He pauses, closing his eyes, "And then after your death, I gave into it nearly immediatelly... I... Even with what they did, how many they murdered... I don't think those hunters deserved what I gave to them... No one would have... That scar on my neck they gave me... Nowhere near enough of a punishment for what I did to them..." "And then, I even failed your last request, to use what you taught me to save everyone I could... I... Xvia... I could have been more cautious, more aware, but now... Now she's serving an eldritch death sentence for something in her past, releasing a sealed old god, despite her only wanting to help people... Once told me that the reason she isn't a hero is because she always runs and hides when the danger comes... After saving me from a magiconstruct I would never have been able to defeat on my own... At least not before my own death... And now... Now I'm in an entirely different world, and Xvia is probably dead..." "I'm... I can never say this enough, even if I said it for the rest of the eternity of all the worlds, but... I'm sorry... For everything I did, everything I've done, and everything I am likely to fail at in the future... I am so... So very sorry, Az... Teacher... I..." he pauses, collecting his thoughts, looking to the horizon, "I really wish you were still here right now... Could use a bit of guidance... And a friend from my early years, in this new world." As he finishes, he hears something, turning and seeing you there. "Did... How much of that were you there for?" he asks, putting the scale by his side again, as usual.
