"Yes, it hurts, but I'm afraid of that thing!" I exclaim. "I refuse to be put into it! I am sorry Mystra, but I would rather endure the transformation than be put into that."

He smiled"I was fond of all my family, but I always have better memories of my sister because she was the only one of my siblings my age"he said seeming to become sad again.

"So... another way then. The curse of the werewolf is not that one will destroy themself, but that one will destroy everything they care about. I don't want to get all meldramatic here, but that choice endangers more lives than just your own." I say, a bit hesitantly.

Mystra:
After first checking her room to no avail, you end up finding Ore-ore in the dining hall, eating with Krin.
Krin:
"I wish I could say I knew the feeling, but I was an only child, and my parents were usually very engrossed with their work... but it is nice that you have fond memories of your family."Ore-ore says, also sounding a bit sad.

"I understand the consequences," I say to Mystra. "But I have made my choice. I have chosen to live with the beast, whether others like it or not."

He nodded and finished up his food and began to drink his juice.

"Look, I don't care what you are, but seriously, this is the best way we have to dealing with the issue until... or if... you get cured, assuming you even want to be. Even before I was born, I knew that my actions and choices... or even things that just happen... can harm or hurt my people. Don't choose your path out of fear." I reply, not quite going to the young zentradi lass quite yet.

I gently take Mystra's hand in both of mine.
"Mystra," I say. "I am afraid of being put in there. But I chose several years ago to live with the wolf inside of me. The hunter—the planeswalker—who found me after being bitten, a man named Vaish, told me what it could do, and I was afraid. But he also showed me that it could be tamed...controlled, and used for good. I just haven't found a way to tame it yet. Not without him around...I'm not sure I want to be cured. But no cure has been presented, so I have never had to make that choice...please understand, Mystra."

"I-I... Well..." I say, frozen in place trying to find proper words. I really wanted to dissaude her from her option, but I really don't know how. She wants to conquer a darkness, a noble goal, and the same as mine... But there is so much risk involved... Will I have to guard her at night? I couldn't deny her that if she asked. I could tie her up outside, but I would need to last a whole night...

"Shh, Mystra," I say.
I put my hands on her cheeks and lean in close.
"It'll be okay," I whisper. "I promise. It may be a hard road, but it'll be okay."

"Will you not reconsider?" I ask, looking into her eyes. "I won't do anything to hurt you..."

"No, Mystra, I won't," I reply solemnly. "I can tell that you wouldn't hurt me, but I have made my choice. I am going to deal with this beast, even if it comes at great risks."

I open my mouth, but close it again, at a loss for words. I try to reassure myself that this won't end terribly for someone. A look of concern still resides heavy in my eyes.

"Do you not trust me?" I ask. "Do you not think I can tame the wolf? Do you really have that little faith in me, Mystra?"

"If I did not trust you, then you would not be my roommate. But I know the path you walk is a road that I will be have to travel too. Our fates are interwined. I don't trust the wolf to not try to kill me." I say, somewhat more seriously then I intended.
