May Interview - Day Three

DG: Hello, Elric. I apologize for being late.

Elric: Nothing to apologize for. Shall we start?

DG: Of course. ::looks through notes:: All right. First question, this one from Shawna who would like to know if you thought you'd come close to finding your mate?

Elric: There have been a few instances.

DG: What made you realize she wasn't the right one?

Elric: I think my father described it best when he told me and my brothers that we would feel it all the way to our very soul when we found our mates. There would be no doubt, no hesitation in claiming her.

DG: This ties in to Janie's question of do you feel something special when you find your mate?

Elric: Both my parents described it as if a part of them they hadn't known was missing had been found.

DG: Amazing. I can't imagine having to search for your mate in a short time period, but to finally find her, the experience must be...awesome.

Elric: I hope to discover it very soon.

DG: Me as well. ::looks down for next question:: Catslady asks how long you've been searching?

Elric: ::laughs, but sadness still darkens his eyes:: Catslady. I like that name. Its different and tells me she's an animal lover.

DG: Elric...

Elric: I must have a little fun, Donna. I don't know exactly how long I've been searching. Time runs different in your world than it does in my kingdom. Two days in my kingdom is like six months in your world. I began my search so earnestly as soon as I stepped out of my kingdom that I didn't pay attention to time at first. My calculations say I've been searching for almost two years.

DG: A long time to be sure.

Elric: More than you can possibly know. I cannot trust anyone so I stay by myself for fear that someone might follow me back to Drahcir and try to take it over. The kingdom is pure and the closest thing to perfect as it can get.

DG: So there's no evil?

Elric: I didn't say that. Good cannot survive without evil. Can you imagine a place where there is no wars, no one goes hungry and crime is almost non-existent? That's Drahcir. Evil does reside in my kingdom, we just don't let it overtake us.

DG: You say you've been alone while you've been searching. Have you not spoken with anyone?

Elric: Nay. I cannot chance it. I will tell my mate all, but no one else.

DG: You must be incredibly lonely.

Elric: My need to find my mate keeps the loneliness at bay.
