I blamed you, telling myself your mother would have lived were it not for you. I took you, still a cub, to the forest at the edge of Sota and left you there." Rankorr sadly explained and began to cry. "After that, I took to the borderlands, where I could hide from others' eyes. Wracked by guilt...ashamed to show my appearance. I would not think to ask for your forgiveness now, but I am glad that you survived for all the things I done." He said as he noticed Fendor look so silent and began to look away knowing how much trouble he has for him. "What better a pawn coul Zemus have possibly chosen than this?" He said and began to walk away.
