Name: Elpis or Gale Age: Unknown Backstory (told in journal entries) Aluvmaas: Welcome, traveler. Today we are gathered to honor the Biblically Accurate Arraliume. Long ago, there was a creature… a magnificent Arraliume… their name is forgotten to time, but we still honor them with our story. I’ll be telling it in their own perspective… I cannot let them catch me… if they did… what would it mean for me? I killed them, but they deserved it… She must’ve told them… …Arraliumes aren’t bad, and they know it… so why are they after me? I think as I fly near the darkness. If they found me, what would they do? I’m already aware of them, and Ahla’ea already saw me earlier, but… why’d they run away? I sigh, feeling the tears slip down. …I doesn't matter. Once i find it, I-I’ll fix it. They’ll be alive… It’ll fix everything… right? … I was wrong. They found me. This is all my fault. I should have stayed curious… But now, I know. They had always feared me, saying I would make the wrong decision… and I-I…did. I… hurt everyone… this is all my fault… I think to when I was a child. Wasn’t I happy then? I broke my promise. I killed them… but… not on purpose. … I knew it. She did. Of course she did. Should’ve known from the start… But of course it’s too late. I think to myself… I killed them, destroyed what I loved, and of course at a cost. If this is my goodbye, let them know. … I feel my wings flutter and my eyes blink. “I’m… alive? Can I really… fix everything?” Deep in my heart, I know it’s almost impossible… but now… I think there’s still room for hope. … “No one deserves to die, but… I did. I accept it.” Aluvmaas: If you read an earlier recording, They state killing someone they loved to avoid death. They got what they deserved, but secretly were the only protecting the Khelkans that would ever love them. “…I messed up. I tried to shake them, but… They’re gone… I can feel it…” Aluvmaas: Though, curiously, there is one part torn of this artifact… I wonder where it went… “I’ll find them… I swear on my last breath… Then everything… everyone will know… This is the only way for things to be ‘fair’…” -end
