"I wanted you to learn not to make the same mistakes I did." Allevia sighed. "Bonds are important. If I had gotten to Lythara sooner, I'm sure she wouldn't have turned out this way."
"That's it?" Exile asked with an incredulous expression. "You expect me to believe all of this was just for that?"
"No," Allevia chuckled. "There were many things you could learn from this. Of course, I'll tell you them all since you asked the right question. But in my mind, bonds are the most important one."
"Without bonds of friendship, you'll be unable to overcome many challenges that lay ahead of you. If you mistreat one of them, you could end up creating your worst enemy." Allevia continued with a faraway expression. "Lythara and I were close. Even when we were apart we travelled on much of the same path. Until she let her emotions overcome her and she lost herself to the darkness."
