My intentions aside, I've been told it can be quite therapeutic to share the details of an emotionally confusing past event with an objective third party.
I once led a group of... outcasts, of sorts. A few humans in the bunch, but most were beastmen, trolls, fish-men... those who didn't have a place in human society.
We were followers of a great sage. We'd travel from kingdom to kingdom to help those in need. While he healed the sick and wounded, we handled the rough jobs. Fending off bandits and monsters, procuring supplies... That sort of work.
But that sage had a darker side, and there came a point where I could follow him no longer. I betrayed him, and he answered by sending my former comrades to pursue me.
Who can say? He was a man consumed with obsession and corrupted by evil. And yet... There were times when he did seem sincere. Perhaps it was simply a façade he had perfected...
