This is an extremely difficult road for many of our kind, true we are near to being truly immortal, but that does not make waiting any easier. many of our brothers and sisters have been waiting for the word to return to Hamilton, so that they can finally spring into action to retriieve family and friends from our enemies. By our very nature we are predators and as such we struggle to find and keep our places within a pack structure or society, as it were. So it seems when you keep a number of our people away from their territory for an extended period of time and they recieve limited knowledge of what is going on tempers and patience are going to fray.
I have ties to both groups that have a missing family member, one is of my clan and he is the sire of the woman I love, the other is of my covenant, as well as one of my commanding officers in the CSDF. For most of the past month I have been seperated from my love as she has to struggle with her Sire being held, as well as the frustration of the two of us being apart. I have been ordered back to my most recent territory to search for missing kindred.
In time the word did come and we returned my love and her family were in a seperate group and as the mystics had warned folks of the power of numbers I could not join them as my joining would have given them an unfavourable number in their group. I became one of the defenders for the ritualists in Hamilton, though I did try to contact Brooke to see if I'd be more help elsewhere.
The fights from all I have been told, and experienced, were brutal and successful. I experienced something odd before I entered battle, the pain as if I had bveen shot twice yet I had not been touched. Later after speaking with a few people it was explained to me that at times close proximity to members of family of the same blood can sense each other. The pain was one thing and after there was a sense of confusion to rival my own.
Since then I have pieced together parts of my broken memories and I know who my Sire is, Inali, and from what Dominion has been able to tell me who my grandsire is, but my attempts to contact them have gone unanswered. It leads me to believe I am unwanted and to leave them alone, though from what Exodus has told me Aspasia is like a Mama Amazon, but in every family I suppose there has to be one who is unwanted.
Dominion offered me a place with the Ravenscarred, and I am thinking on it, but it seems odd to me that the families that I have had the chance to observe make me feel I will always stand on the outside and look in.
Seems odd to me that I once told St. Jimmy that I envied him his family, and I am part of the same family, but I am the one on the outside to be left to his own devices.
