The cave II - Another point of view

  I talked quite a bit with my brother, he mostly listened and sometimes asked very obvious questions that I thought he should know, but I suppose it's partly because he is a "wanderer" although it's confusing since his speech and comprehension are not what I inherited that a "wanderer" should be, besides we are blood brothers, our mother achieved the "awakening," although I know that doesn't guarantee we will achieve it. I know that Kirkarrg seems to have managed to give him an understanding of our language, that's what Breigon believes, although I don't know if it's possible, it's the only explanation we came up with; maybe by finding a wise person, Breigon will understand or recover his heritage, the truth is I don't know, but I hope so.

  The other thing I find strange about my brother is that he is hiding something from me. He says he has an inheritance, but whenever I asked him, he would change the subject or say it wasn't important. Maybe if he is a "wanderer" and is ashamed of it, I would be the same, I don't blame him; but since I met him and before he could speak, he showed to be as aware as I am, he just didn't know how to speak. Besides, we are brothers, right?.............. Mmmmmmmm…………… I don't know what to think! My inheritance is not that great despite what Breigon says. I miss Kirkarrg; he would know what to do as an adult, he would guide and protect us, but I cannot fall into sadness, it is not worthy of our lineage, nor of the sacrifice of Kirkarrg or Tammat, so I will be strong.

  As for Breigon, despite his strange way of being, to me he is a brother; we will be fair and help each other, and I know he will find his lineage. I'm worried about his lack of respect towards our great ancestors, but I will teach him; he learns quickly and is very curious. He asked me about how we kobolds live, some customs and such; he was concerned about his gender and I was surprised he didn't know, but I suppose this shows that he is in some way special or different, but at the same time his desire not to give up shows that his lineage and heritage are present. I'm happy for him.

  Something did leave me thinking when I talked to him, and it was when he questioned what they do to the "wanderers." I am not the one to question our customs or our lineage; things are as they are, and that's it. One must serve the village, our lineage, and our ancestors, nothing more. However, Breigon mentioned if it wasn't a mistake, a mistake! Just the thought of questioning that the ancestors are wrong, no! No! No! Please, ancestors, have patience with my brother! It's the only thing I can think of. However, if he is a "wanderer," then …………………..….., no, the truth is I don't know; it gives me a headache to think about all this; but what I am sure of is what I will do, and that is to teach my brother how to be a kobold and above all to respect and honor our great ancestors, so that together we fulfill our duty to them. But also, if we find a village, so that no one can realize he was a "wanderer," if he is, and only, if necessary, explain to a wise person, if Breigon still doesn't know his legacy and heritage.

  “Great ancestors, give me strength and wisdom to guide my brother! Help my brother to know his lineage! Help my brother learn about his lineage! My heritage is not great, but I will fulfill my duty and so will he! My inheritance is not large, but I will fulfill my duty and he will too!”
