Kaelthorn's shoulders shook and then slumped. "All those years of being shut inside that dark room with no end in sight… it was easier to believe that you were also one of those pigs. I just wanted to kill more, to vent my anger. I didn't care who you were." He swallowed hard.
"But I was wrong. And the worst part is… it took watching you care, not just for Ellora, but for that fragile human girl, to realize just how wrong I've been. It is too late now. No one can be that merciful to grant forgiveness to someone who had tried to backstab him multiple times, especially when he was at his weakest."
