Does that not make you their protector? Then why did you...

[ This breeds real anger, her fur bristling and her face a tight smile. There's a tremor in her soft voice, barely restrained. ]

They sought more than I could freely give, and more than could sustain them, and more than I could protect them from. They used my affections against me, and forgot my ways, and thought me a placid beast because of my love for them. So I reminded them. They killed me, took everything from me and my kin, and I repaid tenfold, as I have always done.

There was no saving this place. There never was. The core of this world rots; the corruption leaches into every living thing, even now. Perhaps it contributed to their lust for greater heights, but I will never know. It does not speak to me in words I can understand, and has no sway over me. I can only watch its progeny spread, wandering the wastes.

I sit and wait for the last warmth of this moon to finally peter out and with it-- I hope-- my unyielding lifespan.
