Isaura
Her throat was surprisingly parched, for she could barely croak out the painful pronouncement: "Raymond... he is gone... I have lost him." ~ Her eyes turned misty as she gazed into Galadria's glittering eyes ~ "I cannot explain it..." ~ Helplessness threatening to paralyse her into silence, she coughed deliberately, trying to jerk out of zombie-like submission to Fate:
"I do not know why I feel this way, my lady... it is just as I have said, I do not remember much of the past." ~ She blinked a tear away ~ "Yet I feel a great sorrow... so powerful, it eats me away without hesitation. I know I have lost something precious, priceless even... all because I lost my memory and did not regain it in time." ~ Gritting her teeth, she wiped the stream from her eyes half-angrily, half-resignedly.
"I am tired, my lady. I... I want a new beginning." ~ The urgency in her voice grew with each moment ~ "I need to start afresh, and what better way than to assume my birthright?" ~ Her voice tinged on the hysterical ~ "I must go there right now, I swear!" ~ She got to her feet and began to walk about distractedly ~ "If you are not ready to aid me for now, I... I shall go by myself!"
