LeeAnn could share some of the same exact pains as Judina. She had few friends she could trust. Manzo was the only one currently. She guessed her adopted cousin, but that was iffy at some points. There was no consistant person. Judina explained. "Its normal to worry, Judina. I worry about Hikaru a lot not to mention a very, very dear friend of mine as well. Human minds tend to go to the worse case scenario" she explained. LeeAnn lead the way as they continued to talk. She tried to articulate the phrase just right to tell Judina. Perhaps, they could stick together even with her hatred towards the Rune Knights, it was not Judina's fault. Infact it was no one's but the higher ups.
"To be honest, I only have one friend I can count on besides my companions here. I can share some of the same pains. Life...hasn't been easy for me at all" she replied. LeeAnn sat down in a small booth in the corner, away from other people so they could have a good conversation.
"I find it Minstel wine to be the riches in flavor, but its rare to fine in these parts. I know this place has none of the good, good stuff. There is always the local wines that are decent. I think I am going with the Southern Barbera wine, it has a more spark to its flavor" she explained. LeeAnn ordered her drink nad waited for Judina. Whiling waiting, she had to explained what happened, but more of a casual manner.
"I'm sorry if..I am have been scarce around these parts. I am avoiding the Rune Knights as much as possible. I don't know if you heard, but...the Nakamura Family, my family, was kicked out of the Rune Knights for no reason. We weren't given one" she started to explain. This would be hard to tell someone that was not Manzo, especially a local Rune Knight. The Rune Knights had dark ties. There were some good, but a lot of it was corrupted within such as illegal humaniod testing on different races and creatures that were deemed sacred and protected. LeeAnn was one of those vicitims. It caused her to form PTSD. The condition has gotten better, but it was still pretty sore subject on certain darker levels.
"I need to warn you. The Rune Knights are changing or already have she started. LeeAnn adjusted herself in her seat.
"Years ago, my adopted mother and I were kidnapped. We were taken to the facility of the Church of Illumin. They had ties with a man in Magic Council. He had taken a lot of innocent Rune Knights and their familes to illegally experiment on them. Innocent people turned into cannibalistic monsters forcing them to each human flesh. It was a experiment gone wrong. Apparently, my mother and I were the only ones who didn't turn. Though, we were infected with a unknown curse called Parasitic Plague or commonly known as The Wendigo Curse. I still have it today. It's plague my life with a label and things I had doing in order for me to not be in any pain" she revealed. She pointed to her eyes as evidence. The mark was long gone or at least when she wasn't going through any of her spells.
"What I am trying to say is, be careful. I don't know if you believe me, but this was
recently revealed to me by a family friend of what actually happened to me. I don't want the same thing to happen to you. It's the reason why I went rogue for a while to figure things out. Now, I think I have myself sorted out and ready to...do whatever" she explained.
