the casteslums were full of lowbloods, as i stated before. those with burgundy, bronze, and gold blood walked the streets, night after night...and then there was a strange limeblooded outlier. liesir.

liesir was perhaps the oddest individual i met in the casteslums. imaginative, eccentric, her head in the clouds...when no one else was watching, and it was just her, i would see her dance alone, to no tune in particular. she was quite secretive, too, for a reason i wouldn't understand until years later. i barely saw her except for those previously mentioned moments. she was like the alternian equivalent to a sister to me, though, and she taught me many things, most notably the art of roleplaying.

one night she disappeared. even during the usual time she would come out and put on a performance for an audience that wasnt watching, she was gone. i went to parhac about it, but he said nothing. his eyes just went dark. he looked weary.

i didn't know why, at the time. but i know now.
