"It is respect of the opinions of your Elders which has stopped Elders in this civilization from simply saying, 'You'll understand when you're older.'  Since you do not grant me respect, however, Sedrane, all I can say to you now is You will understand when you are older.  By turning to ouside magic, you are, whether you realize it or not, forgetting the old ways.  They are being absorbed because there are not enough Elders these days to pass on the knowledge and too many young dunmer too willing not to learn it.

"Do you even know what it means to be a warrior of the magic sword?  It's not some random dunmer who has the ability to effectively use magic in combat, it's when a dunmer who respects our people manages to connect to our Ancestors and feed their energy through his body, through his sword, in combat.  It is a feeling, nothing conventional.  I thought you had the potential.  I hoped you had the potential.  You probably can't even name half of your own ancestors though... at least not the half that came from your father's side."

Kaushad wished he hadn't said the last sentence, but it hung until the edge of his tongue until it finally dropped.  At that moment Kaushad felt terribly regretful, and turned his head away.

OOC: Wonderful post Doomed!!! It´s a sheer pleasure this conversation!


Sedrane Mirpal

It was something in Kaushad´s voice that made Sedrane really listen this time..as he heard the older man speak, his anger wore off and he realised he ought to pay more attention to him...

He very much wanted to have the potential to be a good Ashkan to his people, his mother had great confidence in him. It was partly true what Kaushad said about his ancestors..he knew them all on his mother´s sie that was true..but about his father!

Sedrane hung his head when Kaushad mentioned his father.....he was very near to even start crying..the only thing that he felt extremely bad about was just that.....his father! He did not know who his father was.....Sinnamu always refused to tell him and that hurt the young dunmer very much...

"Of course I can´t tell anything about my ancestors on my father´s side", he said almost choking from trying to prevent hinself from an outburst..."I do not even know who he is!!"

He turned around, covering his face in his hands..

"I promise. I will not forget our old traditions and ways..." he whispered.....

"But I must try the other ways also"

"Now dry your face, I didn't mean it like that," Kaushad tried to say. It was harsh, too harsh for him to say, but he had gotten so defensive, he couldn't simply say his word was law, so Sedrane had to push him until he exploded, and said something as regretful as to pick at the boy's heritage.

"Okay," he said, giving up. "Your mother is very knowledgable in the ways of your people, but she does always tend to include more... modern inginuity with her practice. I suppose you've been raised the same way. Please though, try to learn whatever you wish to learn for your people, not for yourself. If ever you feel in doubt about it, be sure to meditate, and consult with your ancestors. Above all, Sedrane, learn these new techniques not as a follower of Jonacin, but as an ashlander. Apply these techniques in battle as an Ashlander. Do not forget who you are. I'm... truly sorry."

Kaushad strattled on this thought, should he continue talking, should he tell Sedrane the truth? It would make his son happy, he knew that, he knew it was appropriate to say right now, but Kaushad felt the idea hard to face.

"And also, about your father--" he bagan.

"Kaushad, the Ahemussa warriors are here," interrupted Sul-Matuul

"Okay Sedrane, time to make the tough decisions," Kaushad swallowed.
