A few nights later....

A candle was lit in the chamber Nosdyn sat in. He'd done well for himself. He'd gone from a lowly child of N'Jal to a citizen of Ettermire. He'd gone from sleeping on cavern floors to having an actual grand bed to sleep in. That had done wonders for his lack of sleep every night. The shadows danced across his blue skin as he thought deeply on what had gone on. He sat in the bed with Ealladra next to him. His wife his woman.

He kissed the top of her forehead and she smiled waking from her sleep.

She awoke. "What troubles you my lord?"

Nosdyn thought about his reply for a moment. He looked at her. "I'm just thinking of some matters of the past. As you know I've done horrid things."

She nodded. "As a child of N'Jal." She said. She continued. "We all have skeletons in our closet my lord." She sat up at that point to sit next to Nosdyn easier.

He kissed her deeply. "Some sins run too deep. But even someone like me can find forgiveness."

She nodded. "We all can be forgiven my lord."

He thought of that for a moment. "It's been a huge relief." He said. "I'm still not sure how to feel about any of this some nights."
