*Two things. I broke a personal record and I got a black eye today!*
*Cool! To the first one, not the second.*
*Yeah I have never walked a 23 minute 2.1 miles before. The black eye is pretty solid if I'm honest. It doesn't hurt, I got it playing a sport which I enjoy and I get street cred.*

"I beat up Zariel. She took away a lot of my warlock powers and then I got half drowned in holy water repeatedly until I was no longer a vampire. Then I was made your mother's slave."
Kane was following along until the last part. “My mom did what!? Okay, start from the beginning.” He sees Shufen, “Is this Shufen? He’s getting so big.”
" Zariel wanted me to give her Shufen to use as a weapon. That's what opened my eyes - the devils are no better than anyone else. How could they treat a baby like that?! I went down to Avernus, slaughtered a number of pit fiends and had Zariel where I could kill her with a thought. She released me from my contact, but when I lost my powers they restrained me and tortured me, drowning me in holy water over and over until I lost the vampire blood and with it any colour in my body. They forced me to sign a new contract and then loaned me out to serve as Sarana's slave. I'm terrified of her - if I step out of line she'll make me hurt Shufen. I've lost everything.
Well, that's me, how've you been doing? "
“Oh no, I’m…Im so sorry. I want you to be good, but not through a trial like that. And you aren’t staying Sarana’s slave. Not while I talk with her. Well, Umm, I’m getting married? Would you like to come?” He pats Shufen’s head.

“Astara, a former Angel. I love her very much. And maybe one day we’ll have out ouch little Shufen and they can play together. And I promise, you will be free. I know what it’s like to be a slave to the Hells. You are my friend, Emara, and I will free you.” Even as he says this, Kane has doubts. Can he free her from his own mother?

"He rescued us from slavery!" Vixen spaces out, as though going through some traumatic memories.
"... and so we have been his companions ever since." Fleet finishes.
The more and more he hears their story, the more interested he becomes. His mind is fighting itself to stay loyal to Astara but, these elven twins…they prey upon his mind.
Astara holds his hand. "What are you thinking about?"
Kane squeezes her hand and says, “You, my dear, but, I’m curious. What do you make of those two eleven women that follow the genasi? Do you think he has a spell over them?”
"I think he might have organized their slavery, if he thought they were talented."
“Interesting theory. Amd I thought I was the smart one.” He holds her close. “Sorry I haven’t been around. Been dealing with some legal matters regarding the wedding.” *My excuse for not being around.*
Astara nods. "Would you want to spend today together?"
“That would be great. Just need to…get away.” Kane will follow her.
Astara walks up to her room.
Kane follows but before leaving, sends a telepathic message to Vixen and Fleet. “I must know your story. If you be so kind as to tell me, meet me here tomorrow at midnight. Please.” Kane then leaves.
Astara closes the door behind them. "How have you been?"
Now that the Temptations are gone, Kane breathes a sigh of relief and tries to mentally block them. “Better now. Been trying to stay good, plan Calius death and a wedding amd trying to get my mother to come. So, normal Tielfing stuff.” He holds her and sways. “What about you? Are you okay?”
She smiles. "I'm okay. The only thing I want is more time with you."
“Me too. I mean, I want more time with you, not myself.” Kane stands behind her and slowly sways with her and hums a lullaby.
Astara closes her eyes, resting her head on his shoulder.
Kane strokes her hair l, thinking. “What was I even thinking? Astara is great, this is great. The Temptations got nothing on her. Astara is the best.”
After a few minutes, Astara looks up, smiling. "What do you want to do today?"
“Well, I would suggest working on the wedding but there’s a plan I want to discuss with you.” Kane sits down with her. “Souls are stuck in the Hells. Paladins, clerics…these people can help us. And I feel sorry for them. I need to right my wrongs from the past. It’s dangerous but the reward outweighs the risk.”
"I... I don't know, Kane. They deserve to be free. The things that are done to them... they're awful. But I don't want more things to keep us apart."
“I know. But something has to be done. If I do nothing, I’d my redemption true? And also….there’s angels there. Maybe one will know how to get your wings back?” Kane seems worried bringing up the sore subject. “Both me amd my mom know the Hells in and out. Very small chance of getting caught.”
Astara flinches when he mentions her wings. "Kane... I love you and trust you with all my heart. But I think you're wrong about Sarana."
“You do? How…how so? I know you two have different views, which makes it hard for me. I love both of you, despite both of your faults.”
"She's not a good person. Not like you want her to be. She's selfish and manipulative."
“You say that, but…honestly…I believe she can be. She just needs love. True love, but the fake love she feeds off of. And that’s what I am trying to do. What love is more true besides the love between a mother and a son? Besides our’s, of course. I’m trying to help her. She’s my mother. I have to at least try.”
"I understand. I don't think you're right, but I trust you."
“I know. Thank you for trusting me. I know it’s difficult, but you are so strong to stay with me.”
"I have to be strong." She hugs him.
