The young Orc smiled back at Nessa after taking a deep breath and feeling relaxed.
"He is not my real father, he took me in after he left his village, we were not brainwashed by them as yet, I had no home, no where to go and I was very hungry, he told me that I was the son he never had, he loved me like his own but once we started doing that guy's bidding, everything changed."
"I tried my hardest to fight it and succeeded little by little, but all of his emotions to fight it were not enough, everytime he managed to break free from the guy's grip, he would literally torture him using his feelings against him and pull him back under his control, after that there was nothing I could have done to help, if only I could, he would still be alive..." He said and Nessa sighed before turning to face Zilrud who smiled at her while holding onto his nephew's arm.
"I believe you blame yourself, am I correct?" He sighed and lowered his head in response to her question.
