Makings of a touchy situation and tangents

Ti'mma

Yes, as I said, a single root stock or at least one race which all share blood with and we have Atlantis to thank to THAT. It hadn't been due to any sense of trying to give an almost religious basis for unity amongst the diverse peoples . . . Rather, they had done it for quiet the opposite reason. Putting their "malcontents" and "rogues" into various sets of races with conflicting goals AND (there is evidence to support this statement) alter or erase their memories of what they'd been before reduced chances of them all coming together.

From what I have learned of evil Atlantian culture (whatever world we speak of), they wanted amusing diversions for conquest, not someone (a united people) who could possibly take the fight to them. It wouldn't surprise me if they'd meddled secretly within racial politics to further that goal . . .

Well, the point here (if you haven't already figured it out) is that though Atlantis is gone, their mischief still lingers. Still does even on Terra Prime. It's not ALL daisies and sunshine, you know...

Sure is like that here.

And like had been said before, we'd walked right into it practically... But then again at least this isn't a problem of our making!

Have more than a little bit of guilt, still, over that one Rayek killing himself! (re: 38218) I'm not to the point where I cannot function. Not to the point where I couldn't continue to help my other children from Abode (i.e. the World of Two Moons, the Elfquest reality that's now long gone) since it was the height of stupidity what he'd done (like how LIKELY was it that my analog would have actually made his magiclesness permanent?!), but I do feel I could have done better if I could have a second chance...

...

Seems strange that at some times it seems I'm so loving and kind to my "children" (all those reincarnated elves from my home reality) and at other times can be seem cold and heartless (regarding Rayek). Well, it's an elf thing. Would take a LONG time to explain.

Later, when I can meditate and let my heart sort it out I probably will grieve fully that would move a human to tears. Right now, though, the needs of my children and family first. THEN I shall grieve for the Rayek who killed himself (if then, even).

. . .

But that's by the by and pointless. One thing about Champions is once wee do something, it's done. Not even the Timelords can undo it . . . especially Quest results...

Besides, I'm getting sidetracked here...

Oh well, that's why (those lingering "gifts" of Atlantis) things are so touchy. If it hadn't, then we'd be facing a whole different sets of Complications on this Quest...

Oh, and that is why our group is getting odd stares. Even in this multi-racial land, you got to admit we stand out. Especially when I, an elf, make the request to . . .
