Burning OutSolarys is alive? Thank goodness! She disappeared days ago.
She told us that the Flame was just using us, that there was nothing for us with them. She wanted us to escape, but Thael argued we'd be abandoning our only chance at a new home.
Would a new home require us to burn innocent creatures? Solarys was right. This is no family. This is a cult.After all that has happened, I am admittedly struggling with what comes next. Where do we go from here? Who could possibly forgive the things we've done?
Why did you join the Druids of the Flame?
My siblings and I joined the Flame out of desperation. After... after Teldrassil, we lost our connection to nature. We could only conjure fire. It was as though we were haunted, cursed. We became outcasts among the refugees.
Then, we were approached by a face we knew from Teldrassil -- Firodren, our Shan'do from our herbal studies in Darnassus -- who offered us a place we could belong. A place we could make a difference for our people.
Why would you believe them?
We were desperate. Thaeldus was always one of Firodren's promised. He sought drive, a goal.
Lyandris, compassionate and kind, saw the opportunity to help others. Losing her healer's touch devastated her.
Solarys just wanted to protect us. Before we went to the Flame, she warned us that there would be no turning back. I think she was suspicious from the start. But their honeyed words convinced us otherwise.
I wanted to stay with my family. I missed our An'da. who died saving us. I pledged to follow my siblings to the ends of the world.
When we joined, it was admittedly a relief. Maybe, after all the pain. we could find peace again! Oh, how I was mistaken.
What do you mean?
My idealism made me naive. I thought that I could create a world where nobody would lose their home like we had. My siblings felt similarly.
We never knew immortality like our elders had. The thought of new life coming from of the ashes of a world that has never been kind to my younger generation, a phoenix's dawn--that is what swayed us.
I watched as the Prophet and even Firodren twist the tenets of druidism to their own gain. What were lessons of renewal and hope became corrupt, consuming.
They told us that we must unify into one, to disregard our individual needs for the greater cause. That if we must. we were to be the fuel for the flames ourselves. To martyr ourselves so others may achieve victory.
How do you feel now that you've escaped?
I feel as though my convictions are my own, now. If it weren't for Solarys constantly questioning our orders. I would have given in to the Flame.
She realized that we were blindly repeating history, but we could not escape before we entered the Dream. I shudder to think of the horrors we'd have committed, had we stayed.
The Druids of the Flame are not misguided. They are malicious, greedy, and prideful. It is the same hubris that cost past generations their immortality.
What will you do now?
I want no more part in senseless violence--l want to preserve what's left of my family. I have countless regrets for my actions, and I first must take responsibility for them.
I am scared, but hopeful. We are young. There's much to discover still. I do not know where our paths will go. The uncertainty of change is intimidating, yes, but an opportunity nonetheless.
It will be hard to heal, and hard to right our wrongs. But it is all we can do in the face of our past actions.
