"She was the only thing I could never figure out. I never understood how she did anything. I never really understood Ravelyn's full strength on this earth. She was kind and gentle, a loving mother to her son and daughter. She was a fierce fighter, and it was sure you would never want to get on her bad side.

I know that there have been many rumors of the devil of an angel, whose charisma and outgoingness brightened the day and made you smile. I know that it is rumored that the source of Ravelyn lies in the seraphim Azrael. I take this time now to address that Azrael and Ravelyn were the same person.

I always wanted to get inside her head. Even for myself, it was difficult. I will never know now what lies behind those locked doors within her mind. I feel that none of us will ever really know. She protected her family and people until the end. She would have died for all of you, and she did in some sense. Those of you who knew her knew that she always told you exactly what you needed to hear in order to do you the greater good. In the end it seems so clear, doesn't it?

There was something of her ethereal beauty that made you look twice. You almost had a sense that there was a greater work here. I've seen my mother stabbed and wounded for millenia, and she kept going. She never gave up." he chuckled slightly. "Bloody hell, she came back to life three times. You couldn't kill the woman with a gun or parlor trick. I say a sword go right through her, have her pull it out and sever a man's head at the NAC tournament. She was not one to be taken lightly, I am sure of that, for I had challenged her myself. I had lost.

She was a woman of courage and hope, strength and beauty, intelligence and eloquence. She was engaged to a man she loved very much. I knew because I could see it presented before me, that their love was so strong that they could never be separated. She died in his arms a week past now. There was no visable cause for either of their deaths...but I knew that when the sun broke through the threatening red clouds, and amongst the reckage, I saw the two there...I knew she..." He stopped, his voice beginning to break in parts. People's eyes widned as they saw a solitary tear run down the side of his cheek. "I knew that they were together again. And I knew...that what she has given me is beyond comparrison."

Qui shifted slightly, the camera adjusting it's position on the strong young man. "Love is uncomparable to anything in this world. It's what binds us to the ones closest to us. It is what helps us get through the day. I know now how my mother survived for all these years...she had opened her heart to love." Another tear was seen, and the screen went black.
