[Zhaneel was alive. She didn't know how it could be, although she'd known that others had come back before. She was alive.
And she remembered.. Oh, Havens help her, but she remembered
everything. She trembles where she lays in her pod, her capybara curled up and muttering softly to her in its comforting capybara way.
She had been there, unmoving and not eating, for more than a day already. She listened and read as posts appeared on the AN from those she'd been responsible for killing or otherwise harming. Each was like a separate barb, pulling the emotionally unstable gryphon further and further into herself. Suddenly she understood why Kevas had felt
the way he had over the accidental deaths of the villagers.
It some time later still before her communicator kicks on, but there is only silence for a long stretch. When she finally speaks, the message is short and barely audible.]
I am sssssorrrry .. sssso, sssso ssssssorrry.
[Some might not realize why she is apologizing, as they only met her as a non-speaking killing machine .. others, though, will recognize her voice. Let the emo commence! :D]
