He left us...so many years ago...
He left us...well, I say us, me and my sister, Luna, maybe...hmm, to be honest, I'm not even wholly sure now. Just over...my, that is a long time now...
Anyway, yes, he left us a long time ago. I don't know why, but he did. I've hated him ever since, I've been searching for him, ever since. But he's always evaded me, but then, I suppose that is what he was always best at. Disappearing, reappearing, at a moment's notice. Assassins tend to be good at that sort of thing, after all.
Hmm, why do I search for him? Why, to punish him, of course. He broke my heart, broke my trust. Broke both our hearts, our trusts, I should say. She was always closer to him, you see, but...well, our relationship always went deeper. That...dastardly assassin, talking, fighting, sneaking, charming...yes...'intercourse-ing' his way through any situation. Always had a talent for that sort of thing, I suppose.
To hear him tell it, this would be just one of those times where his story got a little more interesting, when the past bit him in the flank, not for the first time. But for me, for us...for so many...it's a tail of our loss, our hatred, our pain, our betrayal...our longing...
Hmm? Yes, I suppose there's other things too, and no, not for the foals. Bloodshed, espionage, murder...some of the darker aspects of my country, I'm afraid. But one of love as well. Of friendship, and, in smaller doses than I'd prefer, lightness. If only to offset his darkness. Yes, his darkness. Why do I say that? Well...
